Falling in Love with Anime | Keep Your Hands Off Eizouken!

[@gian.4388]

Same, I'm like the male version of Midori (with a little bit of the realist Kanamori too) and now I realised that my imagination peaks when thinking about mechanical stuff so I'm trying to get good at drawing and animating those things

[@kentonbaird1723]

I wish to suggest the anime "Yuru Camp", an anime about four or so girls that go camping in the Japanese countryside. ..... that's it. That's the plot. There's no consequences or major conflict, nothing terribly bad happens, it gives you educational information about camping and it's one of the single most comfortable and wholesome things you'll ever witness.

[@mx.e2176]

There’s something so surreal about watching a child’s world spring to life. There’s something beautiful about it in the weirdest way possible, but man it was something else.

[@theanimeman97]

There is something absolutely beautiful about the relationship between the viewers of this anime, the characters within the anime, and the animators/writers as they created this vision in a weekly release format. This is us. We're watching ourselves. This is an anime for those who watch anime.

I think mine was the cat returns, but I only vaguely remember that, I do count that as the first time, but maybe about a year later I watched totoro on TV and I was obsessed with studio Ghibli, and for Christmas my mum got me the box set with about 20 or so films on, it's so hard to find that box set now, and because of that it costs a lot! I still have mine though.

[@AnonymouslyForgotten]

Mine was either hunter x hunter, fairy tail, or sao. I think HxH is the one that really skyrocketed my interest in anime.

[@xlazzic3597]

"Watch some anime and wait for me" damn i wish it was like that

[@estherkirakawaii]

Well think of this way. She basically said watch some cartoon and wait, since anime in Japan are considered cartoons. But yeah I wish it be like sometimes.

i did the same when i was young, but in the end it just became robots and monsters fighting each other

This really hit home for me omg, it reminds me of when I was a kid and watched Spirited Away. Seeing the spirit designs and backgrounds really made you feel like you were being whisked away into this fantasy world, it was breathtaking. I love that anime made by Hayao Miyazaki was what inspired her, I think that his animation was a lot people’s first inspiration when they were young. It feels really accurate.

It’s like those moments where sometimes as a kid you would just lay out on the ground at night where there wasn’t any clouds or planes and you saw the stars and the moon in its entirety and purity. It’s some of the biggest mind opening moments in life.

[@dannykazari]

I also fell in love with Future Boy Conan like she did. If you’re all looking for a great adventure anime, which also happens to be Hayao Miyazaki’s solo TV anime directorial debut, I’d highly recommend it.

[@Al0SC]

Let's do it!

[@dylancereals6177]

its 2020 baby we watchin anime IN ANIME

[@mmmbread9827]

the first episode has already hit close to home. all i’ve ever wanted to do my whole life was create things... as soon as i realised people were making the art i consumed.. it felt like art itself consumed me. Making & consuming art is almost all i do now. when i watched this i thought “ah?? do i talk about animation like this too? she’s a total nerd!! i really sound like that too huh” 😖 This first episode made me remember why i’m still making art & why i fell in love with it. to be completely honest it made me cry.. ive thought about giving it up recently, but i realise now i can’t do that now... not yet. I’m currently studying animation & illustration at uni. I really hope I can grow alongside these girls as the series airs!

[@IgneousExtrusive]

I love this series so much, I really relate to Midori a lot too I hope you haven't given up and are making amazing animations!

[@jordanpeterson5038]

A very comfortable setting. Watching anime with headphones and blanket with also a bowl of assorted chips and popcorn. Sadly, I think it's only perfect as how your taste buds are. I know that's strange but can anyone remember enjoying a bowl of chips as a kid but now it's like, eh whatever.

[@blueegg4198]

I just finished watching Future Boy Conan. If there was ever a series to inspire someone to love anime, that's the one!

[@giuseppegrimaudo4815]

I'm drunk tonight buy I watched this episode two times todays and it's great, probably best of the year. I loved it, because it feels lighthearted but surely come from a lot of thinking about anime cratfing and the next generations (that will be involved in it). Long life to Yuasa-sensei

[@Pikminiman]

Yuasa has been hellbent on making Science SARU a digital-only production studio from the very start, proving that modern animation production tools are every bit as powerful as the old way of doing it, which to be clear Yuasa is brilliant at also.

[@Juneeeee33]

My mom used to watch future boy Conan when it used to air in korean television. In Korea, whenever someone has messy hair they always compare them to the caveguy in the show so it’s still pretty well remembered in korea!

1:20 Is that a reference to Littlest Pet Shop or am I seeing things? Also, that scene where it's all animated scribbles with sounds being made by her is totally how I tried to do animate as a kid. This really captures that feeling of watching anime for the first time. I love it.

[@auralunaprettycure]

Angry Robot I think based on the title and character design it may be a reference to the Jewelpet franchise, which is popular in Japan. Or possibly even another kids show like Precure. The way she just scrolls past it makes me sad though lol. I'd watch it!

[@Pikminiman]

I really believe that Masaaki Yuasa and his close affiliate Eunyoung Choi are changing the game for how anime is made. Their anime studio, Science SARU, is releasing a crazy number of productions, and the quality hasn't wavered once. And they're not just impressive at a technical level. Science SARU seriously has some of the most vividly rendered characters in anime. That is the studio's key strength that other studios cannot easily replicate.

[@connortobin7398]

I’ve gotta say, this is the only anime I’ve watched that a) shows animation being done as a part of the story. B) has decent to excellent animations existing in a separate style within the anime. And C) shows a lot of the difficulties that comes from animation, especially when your commissioned to have it done by a deadline.

[@MIGU3L2K]

I feel like this Anime was made specifically for Japan. I heard the Japanese think anime is weird, and if you’re a grown person who watches it, you’re kind of an outcast in society. Otaku is a mean word to use in Japan.

I always wonder what cartoon characters see when THEY watch cartoons. Does it look like live action, or is it something like when one of us watches an animated movie with REALLY realistic cgi?

[@OsnosisBones]

It's probably like a reverse of cases where you see realistic paintings/statues in anime and people act as if they look as realistic as the artwork does. Essentially, we're probably just supposed to assume that from their perspective they look like real people and the anime still just looks like anime.
