[@HM-rz8nv]

@@ajikoko8905 It's such a shame. There was once a time when Japanese cartoonist had a wide range of different styles. few animators back then cared about conforming to a specific set of aneurysm-inducing tropes. and what's more they actually put incredibly more effort into the quality of the animation itself. There is just a fundamental difference in the nuance of details and quality, when each frame is being drawn manually one-by-one by trained artist and animators, which is EXACTLY what makes them expensive. It is baffling that a defense of modern anime is founded on precisely the fact that this talent is getting scrapped for people who are are less artistically inclined, but can use computer tools. Increasingly, the more 3D animation gets, ironically the worse their detail and visual quality becomes across the whole industry, Because all of the gritty details that could show up when drawing every frame one-by-one totally disappears when you just tell 3D models to move parts of their body from point A to point B. No love, no care for subtle frame-by-frame details, no striking artwork, nothing, just slap some textures and animations on a character model and call it a day. 3D Models are literally an outright excuse to be lazy, and yet even animations that are still 2D still manage to suck because of all of the other irritating tropes brought up. I don't think things will improve unless the whole industry just implodes on itself one day, and through the ashes could creativity and truly quality work reemerge.

Imagine training your whole military career just to be knocked out by a guy who stinks. Like seriously, this dude is a goddamn SCP.

[@theohvist128]

Easily a Euclid-Class SCP, bordering on Safe. Remember people, SCP Classifications don't indicate how dangerous an SCP is, rather its how difficult it is to contain the SCP. A dimwitted Japanese Salaryman with a lethal smell coming from his body that can be contained by an American-made airtight spacesuit is just a Safe-Class Anomaly. One that can just as easily be captured and contained by MTFs Beta-7 ("The Maz Hatters") or Tau-5 ("Samsara").

[@Savrollo]

@@theohvist128 He's a solid Euclid. Not Safe at all. Safe means "it" can be contained with no danger of contingency breach. The more stress the anomaly endures, the stronger the effects of the cloud are and can potentially disrupt the functioning of hardware or electronics intended for its containment. If you haven't seen the whole short story. even after this salary man is contained within a sealed suit, he got out of it at the end of the story just to salute the Prime Minister and the Japanese Self Defense Army's General. This -as stupid that may be-, he has the capability to breach containment and thus be cataloged as an Euclid entity. And yes, Maz Hatters will be the best MTF to deal with an anomaly such as this one but I have to say that calling out Samsara to deal with it will be way overkill and I don't think the O5 will dispatch them for this... again, Samsara are basically the Power Rangers made out of a dead god's flesh and bones. Way too overkill.

For context, Japan operates Type 74, Type 90, and Type 10 tanks. If you really want to tell them apart, look at the turret and find the gunner's sight. The early Leopard 2s, namely the 2A4 (which is what the Type 90 closely resembles) has its gunner's sight partly "inside" the right turret cheek (left side if you're looking at its front) while the Type 90's is on top of the turret and on the left side of the turret (right side if you're looking at its front). The M2 .50 caliber machine gun is also a dead giveaway if present. The front of the hulls of the aforementioned tanks are also noticeably different and so are the smoke grenade launchers.

The thing that gets me is how AMAZING the gas masks and chemical gear in general here looks. I'm a collector of gas masks and the like, not super familiar with Japanese gear (honestly not much is known about Japanese gas masks, due to language barriers and the like) but I do know the basics of their stuff. General stuff, the voices sound appropriately muffled, from what I can tell anyway. Not overly muffled (like the TF2 pyro) or crystal clear, just right. Now, onto the masks on display. First off, most of the troops have Type 4 masks, details look really damn good, absolutely no complaints. The commander and some of the troops have the Type 3 mask, which from the few pictures of these things I've seen, is completely perfect, even the hood seen on the mask is replicated very well, maybe a bit too much of the mask exposed, but I can cut them some slack on that. The tank crewmen have what appears to be the US M25 tank crewman mask. I have no idea if that's correct, never seen any evidence of Japan using those masks, or making their own indigenous clone, but considering everything else is correct, yeah, probably right. The mask the grandmother is the worst looking, not detailed enough, on par with other well animated gas masks I've seen. Not sure if it's a real mask, again, Japanese gas masks are not my forte. Not bad by any means, just a slight letdown considering everything else on display here. I've saved the absolute best for last, the Type 2 mask that the chopper sniper has. The mask looks great, but the thing that made my jaw drop is that the exhale valve on the front is actually animated, it opens to let out air as the guy talks. That is something I have NEVER seen animated before, such a small, but spectacular detail. This short film easily gets a 11/10 for me in terms of animation, just, great work.

[@robbobbrah8953]

Excellent attention to detail. I didn't even notice that, it's giving me goosebumps. I can't believe such talent was wasted on such an absurd story.

I feel like the gasmask used by the grandma is a respirator made for civilian use. It looks like a gasmask from the japanese company KOKEN LTD. (興研) they named "Koken 133949 Dust Mask Sakai Type 1821H-02 " I've seen it being used during the cleaning of Fukushima after the tsunami of 2011, it just doesn't have the part to cover the mouth.

​@@SamS.7598Speaking as a fan of military media: GATE:JSDF is a disappointing case of an interesting idea suffering for god awful execution The series suffers from the JSDF being a stu army that faces no actual challenge at any point in the series, it neuters the supposedly high fantasy magic of the magic world that would have been an interesting challenge to work around, it treats the Imperialist expansion and taking of foreign lands of other sovereign nations (the magical world) as not only a good thing but the right of Japan, it doesn't give any realistic depiction of military tactics or force capabilities of other modern nations who I might add have more experience in fighting wars abroad in the contemporary age like the US Army and Russia... Heck even treats Japans own ally, the US: like an enemy and has JSDF letting Rory Mercury kill those allies to no international incident like it would be realistic to expect. And that's not even touching on how the series holds no respect for women in its narrative treating them as either background props, rape/murder victims and or some flavor of idiot/incompetent and the only female characters shown to have any combat compliance are Rory Mercury (who is a combat fetishist kink demigod of dubious morality), the one badass JSDF soldier girl (who is sadly a one dimensional hardass that constantly rags on the Main character... Even if that MC has the personality of military issue tofu), and the Dark Elf girl who while badass has this weird hang up on insisting on being the MC slave. The elf girl and Mage girl are both interesting on paper but are criminally underutilized and Mage girl supposedly is user of powerful high fantasy magic and yet scarcely actually uses it: heck the magic in the setting itself is supposedly supposedly to see a lot of common use but aside from being mentioned: it barely gets used when it should and never actually gets utilized against the JSDF to give the JSDF any actual challenge to contend with. The series sucks by squandering an otherwise good idea and its written by an incompetent and deluded far right Japanese ultranationalist who is more concerned with writing pro-imperialism propaganda than he does an actually good and compelling story.

that guy is just a weapon of mass destruction

And, after identifying the source of the gas, not one person thought to tell him to stay put? Let him know that he's endangering lives by getting too close? It doesn't look like this guy wants to hurt others in the first place.

[@pathfinder5737]

They did try with his grandmother, but I think the point was that the guy was delusional or something along those lines because he keeps going towards people despite being in a position where he should have realized what was going on.

[@trebuchet8568]

Then it wouldnt be funi

[@avixka7751]

I mean the stink goblin did noticed the troops were afraid of the cloud. dude was absolutely delusional.

[@alanyang18]

The point was Japanese salarymen are incapable of thinking themselves after receiving order from superiors.

He was smart enough to go to university, and get a job in a pharmacrutical company's research division...and can't put 1 and 1 together... And about him being dilusional, sure fine, at some point maybe. But even in the beginning when he wakes up he's just utterly "on purpose" stupid. But the funniest thing was how all em hightech solutions failed, even "dumb" weaponry just failed...because. Oh well, it's just artistic license, the makers wanted to tell a story and for the sake of it, stuff had to be as stupid as they were...I mean the entire pemise is already just stupid and a joke in itself...nothing to gain from overthinking it * shrugs shoulders *

[@guillaumealbin8477]

Just to remind you of a crazy little fun fact : At the end of WW2, a US researcher actually obtained credits to develop the ultimate stink bomb to end the war by demoralising the japanese soldiers. The stink was created, but never used. Maybe the story of this manga was inspired from it. Who knows ?

[@NK-qn6pq]

I think it wasn't used because of a different "bomb"......

[@antonkrieg3708]

Learned something new. Nice tidbit there.

[@inigobantok1579]

It was based on the case of Gloria Ramirez who was dubbed the toxic lady

[@nikson3720]

I have a headcannon that no matter how much of this manufactured stink they have, its still not as bad as real stink in disgusting public toilets. I think NileRed made some in his vids lol

[@karolinakuc4783]

Perhaps. In WW2 gas was only used by German to fight against Polish Underground State. It is because wind is unpredictible and therefore in WW1 it often happened that you ended up poisoning your own troops

[@geronimo5537]

All three of these one hour movies in memories are special in their own way. Each leaves me wanting to see more about the story. The drawing and detail is just something we will not see again in animation. Back when animation was about making things look as real as possible.

[@trevorveillette8415]

It's been done better than this in modern times though. Go watch violet evergarden. Or garden of words. There's plenty of modern animation that is completely ludicrous with the amount of detail.

[@lunaticbseker]

@@trevorveillette8415 its possible for any modern or old anime to look stunning if animators given adequate time and reasonable workload that still give them enough space and time, to express their passion and put in details into their work.

@@lunaticbseker Agreed!

[@KIWI-un8fs]

@@trevorveillette8415 dude you are talking about exceptions, still the characters in garden of words looks like standard anime character, not like real persons with flaws, ugliness..etc its another over-idealized esthetic, its really really far away from being realist, also the colours, the anime looks more like a painting exam than a real anime, with a real fking story that tells you something important about life.

[@zachmortimer2469]

@@KIWI-un8fs you can't seriously be saying that this anime DOESN'T have typical anime designs? like it definitely does a good job on portraying the characters in a semi-realistic way, but we can't act like it's something that wasn't done before and especially not done after. There are tons of newer anime that portray a similar or even greater sense of realism than this anime while still staying true to what makes anime, anime. The coloring/animation definitely isn't something that's unique either, there are series' like the eva rebuilds, ghibli movies, etc. that portray the same level of quality (or even greater) in the visuals department. I don't think I even need to make a point about the story, how the hell is a story about a man who's a walking McDonalds bathroom any better or 'real' than something like Violet Evergarden, Code Geass, or Fullmetal Alchemist.
