How this game manages to look exactly like the anime

[@yashmanyubharij3114]

Pretty cool video. I actually was on the dev team for Demon Slayer in 2020. It was my first game in the industry. Good times!

[@realdonutking123]

hey, from an aspiring game developer still in highschool, what was it like working on a game like that?

[@IdiawesKara]

really? that's impressive man

[@labeans222]

thats pretty cool

[@joonieh1]

thank you for your hard work! great game ^^

[@sebastiangudino9377]

That's pretty cool! Did you play a rol in the game rendering pipeline/shaders that made the style possible? The art direction there was really nice!

[@KingArthur1_1]

OnePunchMan season 1 feels like it's 50% impact frames

[@antares3030]

hahaha yes

[@yourlocalhuman3526]

it was

[@Igami_No_Io]

You're not wrong.

[@adil0028]

Wano eps nowadays

[@catoticneutral]

it's not.

[@crestofhonor2349]

CyberConnect 2 has been doing this style for years. They did the animation for the Naruto Ultimate Ninja Storm games and many others so they've basically mastered this style of animation seen here so I personally wasn't worried about it looking like Jump Force as CyberConnect 2 has shown what they can do in the past with their other games. They know how much style plays into their ultimate attacks and want to capture that

[@dawe964]

They are the best when it comes to visual style. I wish they would improve their focus on gameplay and mechanics variability

[@mpo48]

i just wish they were not forced to do garbage shonen anime arena fighters, i really wish they could continue their original series like .hack

stylized station ability to compliment the videos topic with the editing is just.... *chefs kiss 🤌

[@RandOmdudeon]

never heard a truer statement

[@Silmerano]

It's wild how I've watched anime for over 20 years and something like smearing was right in front of my eye but I never consciously processed it until this video explained it to me. Now I can't unsee it.

[@KoAkaiTengami]

My favorite thing about smearing in 3D animation (my best friend doe 3D animation so I sometimes watch them work) is that all those smears are actual 3D objects and put in frame by frame. So you got this character model with a ton of smears inside their body hidden until needed.

[@SylverZ]

I thought I was on the wrong channel with this intro lol. Great topic to discuss and explain. I think Anime look and cel shading shaders are really hard to achieve without looking "bad". Love how a lot of studios start to add hand drawn impact frames and other visual trick to get the anime look.

[@Smabverse]

Dude this fighting game is SOOO flashy and it indeed really looks like the anime, which is why I like it so much

[@ChilMemez]

Then you should play Naruto ninja storm

[@Kiyuja]

I feel similar things about Naruto Shinobi Strikers. I picked it up again 2 days ago after 3 years and my god the effects and texture work makes all Storm games look like Play-Dough with bad shading. Outlines are a strong tool to make a game look more cartoony and the multi coloured rough textures alongside smooth animations rly make me appreciate the game visually. Really wish we'd get more single player games like that

[@hinatsu4095]

you are right... animations and particles effects have that anime feeling, but i think those shaders used for coloring the shadows in characters were not implemented correctly. and also the environment elements could be better.

[@CallMeVidd]

His editing was always good but ever since his last video it has leveled up immensely

[@H_3_R_0-]

I really hope more anime games use similar techniques seen in hinokami chronicles. The game is gorgeous to look at and I was immediately interested after seeing the first reveal for the game. I vividly remember thinking "wow, this looks just like the actual anime."

[@roundtabledetails3307]

How did they get a 3D game to look like the anime? THE ANIME ALREADY USED THAT SAME 3D EFFECT

[@marquisshepherd]

exactly in the show most of that is entirely in CG already. probably just said hand over the .FBX files :D

[@patoastral2118]

​@@marquisshepherdnop it wasnt 3d

[@13SummerLane]

@@patoastral2118 it is 3D just hand drawn and animated in 3D, things like blenders grease pencil is a good reference

[@jakejohnson718]

The same way geats made itself look like an anime despite being live action, *GODLIKE PHACKING EFFECTS TEAM*

[@damasake]

Did they draw the realistic fire in the background in that one episode of S2?

[@idk83153]

summary: the game was made with passion, that's why

[@MajaStudios]

Its always a treat getting a new video. This one was really cool.🙂

[@VoltitanDev]

I wonder if the flipbook effects are done through a transparent plane or another shape in the 3d environment.

[@shim2822]

There's 2D layer called "canvas" that is in front of the camera

[@reezwave]

Cyberconnect2 never fails when it comes to visuals

[@KidBowsur]

Yeah even companies with more money and tech don't have anime visuals down nearly as well

[@Rising_07-k7d]

Hello , great video by the way. I’d like to ask what the ending song name is ?

[@chyra451]

What's the anime at 3:10? (For the future, I would add title cards in the bottom left of the screen)

[@BrandonNguyen-p7r]

May i have the source material for the fight scene at 1:30 in the video?

[@Abdullah-mn6sw]

Song name: Hoshifuru Yoruni

[@tiacool7978]

Thanks, was looking for it mentioned anywhere in the video/description.

[@Daniel33276]

Hey Stylized Station, love the videos I've got a question about the course, Does the course have any texture workflows and optimization videos? I'm curious about material instances in unreal vs substance painter/designer, and when to use dynamic textures vs trim sheets

[@MakotoFiraga]

Most likely they use sequecer to create this kind of finishing Skill VFX. So it more easy and can be more dynamic with more control, since is a comp. but there are a few trick you can use to create those. If you use are in the game dev for long enough you may know how~

[@Gurem]

globku has a video showing a breakdown of how they did it by moving the in game camera away from its intended angle. It gives a deeper insight into the tricks used to composite the shot. May be useful for a pt2.

[@mathieu499]

i wonder if epileptic people actually survived this video because god damn it looks as good as it blinded me XD

Question, with the Demon Slayer special attacks are they pre-rendered cutscenes or was it within the engine itself with a dynamic camera angle?

They have to be real time, otherwise the game would be absolutely bloated with pre-rendered videos that have to account for every single character and map combination

[@VoltitanDev]

@@ArceusDX I wonder how that could be accomplished with the Godot engine.

although on hinokami chronicles the animation, effects and style are amazing i still dont like the fact that its basically any 3d anime game ever made (like Naruto Shinobi Storm 4 for example), but in artistic terms i could see why they took so long, also i was awaiting the game since 2020 but ended up just not buying it due to that... and the fact it was 60 bucks

[@zechariahcaraballo8765]

My only problem is that these anime games are arena fighters (a sub genre of 3d fighting games) instead of ANIME FIGHTERS (a sub genre of 2d fighting games that are usually more fastnpaced with longer combos and lots of movement and usually kinda hard to play but it does not have to be hard to play, some examples are blazblue, guilty gear, and dragon ball fighterZ) im just tired of anime games being arena fighters cause they feel like ultra watered down 3d fighting games (gameplay wise) and whqts worst about this is the company making thse arena foghters is bandai namco creatwrs of 2 of the greatest fighting games of all time being soil calibur and teklen, but they are either just being cheap or goven a small budget and told to make these, but I dont get qrena fighters, they dont feel fun or reqarding to play and traditional fighters are objectively more anime lol, dont get me wrong Im not saying we should abondon arena fighters all together, I just wish shonen or whoever would make a traditional fighter instead lf arena fighters, or even q platform figbter would be awesome, movement is just sl much more free and awesome in traditional and platform fighters compared to arena fighters, unfortunately arena foghtera are cheaper and will get more or less the same amount of buyers
