    LIL INTRO VERT

    It's called shoujo right?

    I think shoujo is manga directed at young girls

    As a result a lot of the characters are hot boys

    But there are anime where the entire cast is pretty and they’re not shoujo

    I’d say fire force for example everybody pretty hot

    But I'm definitely stealing some style ideas from this anime

    Plenty of adult manga lol

  • Sep 23, 2023

    Whether or not something is shoujo or not depends on the magazine they run in. Nana is a shoujo because it runs in a shoujo mag but its contents are typically more josei (young adult women). Not that it matters, josei/shoujo/etc are just audience tags that say nothing about the genre

    Everything

    My bad lol. I know there's plenty. I meant to say adult manga that's as successful as it is compared to manga aimed at tweens and teens

    I should watch that

  • Carmen is Composed

    In 2015 Wit Studio released The Rolling Girls

    A bizarre early outing for the studio focusing on young mob girls who get powers from special jewels? A strange premise but Imai returned to work with the staff. Imai at this point had already been perplexingly good and was just showing off from scene to scene.

    !https://youtu.be/V82tAfD_N6A

    Imai 1:03-1:35
    Notice the flower shaped purple effects after the hit, you don’t see any other animators do that kind of stuff, and so subtly.
    Episode 2 continues the exchanges with more impressive sparkly debris and star effects https://www.sakugabooru.com/post/show/218192\. I can’t begin to describe what Imai or the AD is going for here, is it bubbles? or stars exploding out of bubbles? It is satisfying to look at. https://www.sakugabooru.com/post/show/75667 https://www.sakugabooru.com/post/show/16970 Imai’s action here still felt like his usual output albeit more severely unhinged in approach. Notice how he delicately crafts his dispersal of liquid, and sparks making for an interesting combination of shapes almost look like blooming flowers, or firework laden shapes. Imai in fact was the “Effect Designer” for the show.

    this man is insane (add to watchlist)

    Seriously the production materials for this scene is insane. Did I mention Imai uses Flash to animate roughs?

    Imai really took the traditional route of the animation process as suppose to the web generation. Iirc he was an inbetweener, key animator, animation director and now episode director. All those roles makes him the complete package and it shows in his genga how complete and absurdly detailed it is. Feels like most web gen animators sacrifice detail for more fluidity.

    To your last point

    That really had to do with Satoru Utsunomiya, but primarily Norio Matsumoto’s influence. Flow animation is all about ostentatious movement but also being freely off model when needed

    I’m at episode 28

    Past the corporation having a death note and I’m on the part where N is in the picture

    This show was compelling up until the corporation stuff to now

    It just feels like it should have already ended. Like these plots feel so unnecessary lol

    Maybe the ending will hit with being under 10 episodes left but this just seems like such weird directions to go

    Just finished the last episode rn

    Fresh from the last episode, I think I’d give Death Note a 6.5 / 10

    A strong premise that I feel lost it’s charm a little too soon

    I feel like when L died, is when the show kinda went in a weird direction and just didn’t hit the same

    Satisfied with how it ended but it just lost steam really quickly

    I liked it a lot and I definitely see why it’s one of the most popular anime ever

    Probably gonna watch the Netflix movie that everyone hates tomorrow lol

    Was looking at the description on Netflix and I forgot Willem Defoe is in this lmao

    I know he’s gonna deliver

    Super interested to see what “changed”. I already see that they Americanized Light’s name and changed his last night to Turner

    But yeah definitely interested and see what they adapted for this movie and if it improves or makes it worse

    hope the gundam verse becomes better after 0079 because this s*** is copy-pasting the same mecha fights and after 26 episodes it's starting to become really tiresome
