Does /amv/ pay attention to more indie animations? Because if so the Milky Subway animation premiering in just a few days should be right up your alley. Also it's a great example of how to do anime in CGI right without a giant studio.

The original's here if you want to check it out, animator made it coming out of college which I think is pretty flippin impressive. It's pretty funny too.

Or I guess "cool"? Not sure I'd say there's too much to classify it with how little of it there is, but the new work looks like it has promise I think.

I like indie/small studio stuff. Fumiko's Confession still one of my favorites after all these years. Just noticed someone finally uploaded a better copy to youtube so yay for me.

Not really. As a whole I don't pay attention to social media where the stuff would be promoted and I don't really go searching on youtube.
Here is pretty much the only way I'd hear of it.

I love that short so much. Tasteful use of CGI. Half of it is pantsu shots. Belly peeks. The expressive voice acting and faces. The cute self contained story. The cartoon-like gags. You can tell it was inspired by some of the better western animation from the 1920s-1940s. Anyone that loves that old western stuff is usually a great animator. It's just plain old fun.

I've been trying to track down a DVD of it for the longest time. I didn't buy one when they first come out and I regret it so much. I want to encode it but I refuse to do it unless I can grab the original disc release. There is a German BD but I have no idea if it's any good or what kind of editing they might have done to it.

This doesn't qualify as 'indie' I guess because it got a major motion picture release. But this is one of my favorite animated scenes of all time. I like most everything Ralph Bakshi did.

Not the best clip to show it off. I have the DVD of this (much better than the later BD btw). The backgrounds and techniques used in this clip are a thing of beauty. I like a lot of this older stuff where they were more limited on how they could do scenes like this especially on the budget they had to work with. The original song used for this scene is pretty great too.

I'll try to remember to come back and post some proper indie stuff.

Fritz could probably be considered more indie for how almost nobody wanted to sponsor it and how much of a legal nightmare it faced. Still one of the best societal critiques in animation that still holds up today.

What the heck, I love this show.
The VAing is top notch, and so is the OSTs/BGMs. The visuals are also nice.
Thanks for posting about it, anonymous. Would have missed it otherwise.

I'm actually amazed at how awful the dub is. You have one of the few anime where it's spoken at normal Japanese pace and without the more acting style of speech and then the dub is the same forced acting sound that they always fucking have. Can they even take the hint and try to adapt? I bet even someone around the office could've done better.

On another note, I absolutely love the original voices for this. They're doing some amazing work carrying the feel of the characters and ascending the comedy a level up above what it'd just be as a script.

Yeah, I love the way they speak in this. Sounds like they're actually a bunch of yankees talking. Love Makina the most. Very kakkoii.

I too would do it for free (or refuse any further payments) if cute girl were to thank me cutely!
Don't even need to watch the English version to know they butchered it.

I tried watching this in the English dub. I liked Chiharu and the two cyborg guys' voices but everyone else sounded a little awkward. Of course in the Japanese dub everyone sounds better. Maybe seeing this happen in every anime ever means there's just a flaw with the English language.

No, dubs for Dragon Ball or Pokemon were good, it's the newage voice actors that go over the top that ruin it. I mean, just look at English cartoons, they have great voice acting.
Interestingly, I have found that Japanese dub of non-japanese materials are just as bad; maybe they just don't have enough funds to be hiring good VAs for secondary/foreign media.

It means they're recycling the same 10 "voice actors" for everything.
