>>131257Turns out they actually used physical paper for that flat segment in the last episode. It's a surprising amount of effort and thought put into those thirty seconds of animation, especially for something that is anime-original. In the manga it's one shot of him running with narration around it. Alongside that we had Takauji's massacre, all the ear weirdness, and Genba's fight with the radar duo. In fact, a ton of the visuals are wholly original and comparing this episode to volume 2 is like night and day.
All his jumping around is adapted from a single panel, and the purple ring of fire is hardly even implied when you look at how small the fire is. Same for the mass beheading that's only a bunch of heads casually flying upwards. But also things like Genba sitting on his web of ropes or acrobatically transitioning from the party to the assassination of Takauji. Even just the radar background behind the ear/eye pair. Fucking insane adaptation.
>>132298>despite its rather mundane subject matter of teenagers being pop stars or theater actorsI wouldn't truly call it mundane, as certainly the things that take place are rarer than something like Yuru Camp, Slow Loop, or any other themed CGDCT you can think of. Past that, it's not like a grounded story directly equates to regular visuals, as Tatami Galaxy is really out there for an anime about a guy living through his college years (granted, that's Yuasa). There was a lot of heightened emotion here to match the guy's state and it was entirely fitting, that's what it makes it powerful.
>>132353'Twas raw, I forgot to make half of the reply and there was a sentence I hadn't even finished writing.
>horses are apparently a major pain to animateMan, I wonder how Steel Ball Run is going to turn out. Half of the manga takes place on horseback or besides a horse and frequently with at least half a dozen of them, they are central to the story.
>They seem to have themes for each villain, like the eye guy's bizarre close-ups remind me of Ren and Stimpy and this most recent episode reminded me of classic Disney.Post too long. Click here to view the full text.
