Mob psycho is probably one of the most imaginative animes ever, they can have like 5 different styles of animation in one episode it's rad

[@g_g...]

Huh? No no no, you're getting confused. What you see in mob are sakugas. Mob psycho has a ton of sakuga every now and then. This isn't unique to the world of anime, anime from the 1900s till now have had a lot of sakuga implemented in their shows. Essentially a sakuga is a scene that differentiates itself compared to the rest of the scenes in having unique points of view, different artstyle, different animation style and typically more fluid animation than what the anime usually does. Sure mob's animation is very good but you must also pay attention to the art style which has a lot to do with how they handle the animation style. Mob Psycho's art style is very well made and unique and it's super artistic full of talented artists. So mob psycho is probably one of the most uniquely made animation style due to its artstyle and amount of sakuga they have. Also something else i wanna say is that sakuga are usually made by one specific talented artist that either works for the company or is one for hire which is always being asked to complete jobs from many different anime. That also explains why sakuga has a bit of a different art style in general, it's cause it's a specific artist's art style.

If it wasn't for Mappa, we wouldn't get a final season of attack on titan. No other studio wanted it, because they didn't want to ruin the final season. Too much pressure. For Mappa, it was easier to CG the titans than to draw them with the talent they had at their studio and the time they had. That's why the final arc will be delayed so they can draw the titans this time. I truly appreciate what Mappa has done.

[@xErasmus]

Well that, and they had to end season 4 part 1 at the place they did, because they were waiting for the last few chapters of the manga to end back in April. So they couldn't really continue the story beyond that point, without them ending it in the middle of a conflict. Now they ended it at the start of the conflict, and have about a year to animate and create the last 10 or so episodes and do them justice.

The scale of the titan at 10:17 is changing because the japanese animations are mostly done by freelance animator working from their places, so there's little or no control of the actual work until it's delivered to the studio. It's the animation director's role to fix the issues ( bad design, scale, poor timing etc...) but when you're out of time, you just let the cut in without correction because the schedules are so tight. Plus, you can have one single cut drawn by a certain artist and the following one by another one. One of them can read the e conte ( storyboard ) and decide his character has to be tall enough to grab the giant titan at his ankle while the second one will decide that the correct size allows the hero to seize the knee.

So many compelling themes come crashing together; Love, eternity, loss, parents, friends, connection, grief, god, the pending apocalypse. All tied beautifully together.

[@lyew8886]

To be honest, I think Mushoku Tensei would be the most deserving of coverage, because of the effort put into the smallest of scenes. Like in in episode one, where Rudeus first attempts at magic are beautifully animated to a point, where I think it might be the best looking magic ever done in animation(08:33, 13:20, ep.2, 05:38, 18:06), the same applies to Roxys magic(ep. 1, 17:37, ep.2, 16:35), in episode 3 (14:09), as well as to Sylphies magic. And that’s still ignoring all the gorgeous, lively character animation and the stunning background drawings. I also think Mushoku Tenseis training scenes (good examples in episodes 6 (10:18), 7(00:00), 10(00:00),12(07:08) and 21(02:20)), deserve a lot of credit, seeing how they are not really important to the story: You could just have the characters talk about training or show a few still frames instead of actually animating them, yet instead those scenes are better animated than most series finales. That said, those finales do hit hard, although there not really being a final battle, since the stories most integral parts aren’t necessarily it’s fights. Also, showing the fight in episode 21 (later in the episode) would kinda spoil a lot, so it’s probably not to good to review. Hope that helps ^^.

They shifted to CGI in season 4 because they had a very tight schedule. They switched studios very suddenly and Mappa had around a year to get everything done. They had a lot of work done in 2d but ultimately had to replace everything (titans and fights) with 3d because they were running out of time. If they had given Mappa 1 more year, it would've been all done in 2d. And if you look up the the storyboard and rough animation on KZbin, you'll be amazed and kinda pissed because it didn't end up in the final cut. The producers were pushing studio WIT too hard, they weren't giving them enough time and they had to quit the project. Producers did the same with Mappa, they didn't give them enough time.

I think a lot of people forget that in Seasons 2 and 3 when the Armor Titan was more prominent, a lot of his scenes, and even fight scenes, were still frames. The Attack Titan, the Jaws and the pure Titans had more movement in their scenes because they had less detail to draw/animate. Titans like the beast and armor were much more difficult to render. That’s why they used cgi for the colossal cause big boy has hella details. If you rewatch the series, you’ll notice how little action the Armored, Beast, and Colossal actually get.

@@notever8401 MAPPA's 2D animation beats WIT's 2D animtaion. The same applies for their 3D counterparts. The problem is MAPPA could only afford to do 3D a majority of the time, compared to WIT that could do 2D 99% of the time. I am 100% sure if MAPPA got more time, they would have cleared WIT with a majority 2D season

great animation but i wouldn't call it 'ground breaking'. The only thing i will call ground breaking in this age of anime is if someone manages to integrate 3d into anime characters without anyone noticing. we're pretty far off that tho.

Hell yeah! Mob Psycho! Which was directed by the same man who directed, wrote and did animation for Death Parade. Two different but beautiful aesthetics.

[@timothymcqueen3408]

I know you've been asked this a million times, but please react to the killing sprees in Death Note. The director takes the mundane act of writing shit in a notebook and turns that into a set piece through perspective, speed, emphasis, and splitting the screen. It's seriously epic.

[@djangonesh5591]

it definitely makes it way more dramatic then writing has any right to be

[@MADKapo]

I do believe it was groundbreaking in a similar way Attack on Titan was, that level of overly dramatic editing for mundane acts became really popular during the late 2000s because of Death Note.

I think in season 4 part 2 they really honed in the CG usage well, because I don't get the same feeling of "that looks kinda weird, but whatever" at all in any of the battle scenes. It's pretty much exactly what you guys were talking about at 13:40, they were trying to make things more *realistic* feeling by doing things like motion-tracking animation, more weighty movements, etc, but it just doesn't track with the shows animation till that point. That for me as all but absent in part 2, it feels like they went back to doing what made AoT shine and have its flare.

[@rakshitranjan8040]

[@Ebosan87]

@@hourglas For the amount of lines drawn on screen for each frame, it's anything but minimal, the animation. Fewer frames than some past works of Kyoto Animation, sure, because the models are much more complex in Violet Evergarden, but you are way off with the "just pretty stills". Attack on Titan has many more still images and often with fewer lines drawn, but I'd not call that "just pretty stills". Although in Wit's defense they have always been a very small team, especially those working on Attack on Titan, and they also never had enough time to do maybe everything they would have liked to do. And also same goes for Mappa, only while Mappa did have the team size, they had even less time. I mean jeeez, they had like 9 frigging months to get Part 1 of Season 4 ready to air, which was insane. Meanwhile Kyoto Animation had a movie-like schedule for Violet Evergarden, 2 years for 13 episodes plus an OVA. So yeah, it shows in that show, the time and attention they put into EVERYTHING.

[@333kenshin]

groundbreaking anime - not just for its visuals, story, and characters, but for its profound meditation on existence: the original Ghost In The Shell. After watching it, a pair of siblings showed it to a producer and said "we wanna do that for real." A few years later that movie was released as The Matrix.

It’s a classic! One of my favourites. The animation is great but I also like all the philosophy of it.

@@Bluespaceboat pretty debatable, AoT is one of those rare pieces of work that actually fill in every plot device used and ties it in a neat little bow. The plot twists are some of the best ever in literature. Also from sequencing, animation, sounds and the soundtrack, it's one of the best if not the best production for an anime that's ever been produced.

[@roidsaccounts9565]

​@@econnak7909 as someone that has watched all of aot up until now i can say that the show is trash. the story was cool in the first season but after that its just repetitive. with the exception of a few scenes scattered throughout the series the animation was alright at best. when you compare it to shows like jujutsu kaisen, demon slayer, black clover, hell even boruto the animation in aot just doesn't hold up. when it comes to story its honestly stupidly easy to find shows with better story. just about everything mentioned above plus a few other shows like my hero, parasyte, and even the last couple seasons of SAO. If were being honest with ourselves the ONLY reason so many people cling on to aot like their life depends on it is because for many of us myself included it was the first anime we watched and nobody wants to admit that the show that got them into anime isn't good.

[@econnak7909]

@@roidsaccounts9565 Yeah once you said SAO I no longer considered your argument relevant. AoT is not the first anime I've watched, and I disagree heavily, the story and animation are top tier. You call everything else besides season one repetitive? Interesting you'd put MHA there, one of the most repetitive shows out there. Everything after season one of AoT was starting to get very story heavy, and one if the biggest mysteries, the basement of erens house, has revealed that civilization beyond the walls is real, one of the biggest and greatest mysteries of the show. I don't understand this mentality to call it repetitive? Each season has something different and only progresses the story even more.

The "energy"-based animation really is the essence of animation. The usage of abstraction and stylization to make still images feel alive is what it's all about.
