Midnight Crystal Run

[@ironheart6984]

The level of technical detail they've animated here is insane. 1980s anime was really something else.

[@Augustunes420AD]

So true. Modern anime has awful animation.

[@wilhelmschmidt7240]

The 80's is where all the best shit comes from, like me 😂😂😂

[@RingworldTyrant]

A lot of the guys doing animation on this sort of thing studied as Industrial Designers and Draftsmen first, meaning they had at least the practical training for sketching (by hand, I'll add) mechanical and electrical designs. A lot of this design we see is not feasible due to material or power restrictions, but these guys knew how industry devices functioned and could represent it on the drawn page. Watch how that turbine spins up or how the mechanical linkages in the foot fire and move, how the barrells of the minigun rotate. It's fantastical but the physical interfaces are accurate. That's the eye of someone at least trained as a skilled draftsman.

[@erikdeusenberry5307]

The 80s was the time of experimental anime basically if you dream it and it sounds cool they made it as a OVA .

[@isekaiexpress9450]

It was a time of prosperity and anime could become art, not the another 3d render harem 12-episode fantasy isekai slop to fill the air. And yeah, I'm aware of my nick.

[@sanguineskull]

Hand-drawn animation is becoming a lost art, for real.

[@mausvr7752]

They already lost it. The process and even some colors from Akira is lost forever

[@ender8759]

People that animated It could be real engineers easily.

[@Alfa1313131313]

Old times, old dreams, old ideas - compare it to novadays: not needed - too expensive, profit is everything and another awful stuff.

[@hourglassesandphatasses]

all nerds, all talented, all waaaay ahead of their time. This level of illustration and animation is just absolutely mindblowing for its time. Even for today!

[@RingworldTyrant]

Most of them were originally trained as Industrial Draftsmen, check out the history of Kow Yokohama if interested as an example.

[@Gillymonster18]

@@Alfa1313131313 it’s a pity. So much untapped potential. “Too complex, too expensive, unnecessary.” People used to think the same way about steam locomotives, airplanes, jet engines… Imagine what we could achieve if we had a time of unbridled development. A new Industrial Revolution.

@@Alfa1313131313man what are you even talking about this is still advanced by todays standards where do you see mobile suits running around at hypersonic speeds no where in sight were barely catching rocket boosters in reverse from the edge of the atmosphere

The 1980 was a time of experimental anime basically if you dream it and it was cool sounding it became a awesome OVA and let me tell you those dreamers had skills to bring those dreams to life.

[@G1SUNPLANT]
