MM! 12
Despite the naivety of montages and insert songs, there was some eloquence to the finish. We didn’t really go anywhere, but went quickly at it — each episode providing the full symphony of human emotions to the viewer.
Disgust, love, rage, passion — it was all there.
And in the final three seconds… Continue reading
On Angel Beats Character Designs
<Moogy> the characters were just kind of whatever maeda felt like making them in each episode
<hikago> come on guys, that’s just the characters /transcending/ their writing :V
BakaTest Himeji Vector
Since my last real vector, over two years ago, I’ve become rather nonchalant over the whole vectoring thing. Thanks to the ubiquity of high speed internet and higher resolution anime, I haven’t seen anything worth vectoring in a while. Continue reading
Idiots, Flus, and Summoned Beings
Having been sick a few (5) weeks ago, I had worked on a vector trace of a nice Himeji eyecatch from one of the BakaTest DVD specials. I found that coming back to a vector after several weeks can help me catch the errors, so after having shelved it for a month now I’ve started to tweak and correct. In the meantime I’ve put up a teaser of the latest revision — the crappy background was just to make it easier to compare outlines side-by-side, but I think it looks better than just leaving the bg blank (of course the final one will have a transparent background version).
On Summer Wars
I remember the venerable Zaitcev asked me if I was going to compile my thoughts on the movie soon after it came out but I wasn’t able to form my ideas at the time.
Connections.
MM!
Wherein I enjoy what I did not expect to. Continue reading
OreImo
Watched the first two episodes — art was nice but isn’t enough to grab me; let’s not mistake animation and art, guys. I do like the coloring, and Kirino (the little sister) is consistently well animated (unlike the rest) and well dressed so if you like girl’s fashion I guess that’s a bonus [1]. I almost forgot: No homo! Thanks sage! Continue reading
IkaMusume 01
Fun, more so if you didn’t watch Keroro.
Ikamusume’s idiocy was a wonder to behold and I hope episode 2 can step it up and continue to entertain.
