What Anime Looks Like in my Head

The anime that plays in the background of another anime.

[@saltymcsalt5241]

This looks more like an early 2000s cartoon parody of anime than an actual produced anime and that amazes me

[@danielludwig647]

That first shot with the still bodies + lip flaps. Giving me “How to Draw Manga” vibes.

[@SpectrumAssociates]

Imagine one drawn by John K. Oh wait.

[@Soul93Taker]

I assume this is Nora's spiritual successor.

[@inendlesspain4724]

Well, it has slightly more fluid animation.

[@DraptorRonin]

I really feel bad for the staff who worked on this anime (Lost Universe). Like, their studio allegedly caught fire early on into the show's production, damaging a bunch of the animation cells and equipment, so they had to basically redraw, animate, etc. everything for the first few episodes just to make their deadlines. That's why in, like, episode 4, there's scenes that go back-and-forth where one is a hand-drawn, cell shaded angle of the cast talking, followed by a scene that's clearly been digitally colored (looks way more crisp and clean compared to the scene just before it), and then go back to re-using the scene before that was cell-shaded.

[@tomhsia4354]

Some episodes of this looked rather good, IMO. The music was good, too.

[@Chobittsu]

Yea, you can see the exact moment that their problems happened

[@weridplusho]

If Slayers had a bootleg but official.

[@opjm8664]

"Should we mix the music quieter so everything else is easier to hear?" "No, just make everything as loud as possible."

[@sammorin254]

This looks like it was made by one of those "learn to draw anime" book artists

[@aino-kaisav5504]

Actually it's set in the same universe as "Slayers" a really iconic fantasy anime. The "learn to draw anime" style was often heavily inspired by what was popular at the time.

[@sammorin254]

@@aino-kaisav5504 I know Slayers. Can't believe this is related lol

[@CornishCreamtea07]

Those books, at least when I last saw one, use character designs typical of the late 90s. Which seems to be around the time this was made.

[@NegaHumanX]

I watched the whole English dub of this voluntarily. It was physically and mentally taxing.

[@cuddly-toy7646]

Link?

[@NegaHumanX]

[@napasenseigaming]

I hated the dub at first but it grew on me

[@samtepal3892]

I refuse to believe this is not a hentai whose sex scenes accidentally got deleted in a copy paste incident where the editor accidentally pressed Ctrl+D instead of Ctrl+C.

[@napasenseigaming]

Nah this is the anime lost universe and the early episodes had the animation lost in a fire so the studio scrambled to reanimate a lot of scenes to meet deadlines

[@EricTalwin]

Ahhhh Lost Universe the best anime with shocking low quality production. The humor, writing, and voice acting (original japanese) just where gold and the rest of it really seemed a rush Job. It was like watching a bunch of formula 1 drivers in a tricycle race.

[@SingularMechanicalCitrusFruit]

This makes me believe I can animate, thanks Kenny

[@rosskwolfe]

I only watch anime on original Tiger Electronics handheld devices.

Damn i didn't know there was an anime adaptation of dork diaries

[@CartoonTriper]

2000's anime parodies be like

[@Grayheart]

Oh yeah I remember this. I think it was EP 4 of Lost Universe.

[@SlapstickGenius23]

Episode 4 of Lost Universe was awfully nuts!

[@ianfinrir8724]

[@GregReavis]

Nice PowerPoint presentation.

[@skeetsmcgrew3282]

Somehow the most inexcusable part of this is that weird video screen having absolutely nothing on it. Couldnt even be bothered to show a still image for her to point to

[@awkwardcultism]

"90's Anime was so much better!" 90's Anime:

[@obotprime339]

This makes Twinkle Nora look like a Ghibli film

[@pentelegomenon1175]

0:52 how they picture their audience, especially the guy in the upper right corner

[@tremendous2464]

I have a similar thing when I am imagining "what if I were a professional wrestler" 🤔 Your too funny to not be monetized Kenny, best of luck!

[@jasonlumpkin4732]

So this is what an anime is like when the animators are on drugs.

[@Pheonixco]

Well that's one way to get crabs.

[@termitesc.aardwolf3644]

I need context for the coconut crab clip.

[@hrrawr]

This is the minimum frames per second and/or amount of visual detail per 'camera shot' possible to still be Anime. o.o A for efficiency, I suppose!

[@O___P]

If you use manga to make a flipbook.

[@LicencetoMeme]

He' the animator (again)

[@retrofraction]

Dang those animators are the hero

[@LCrum20th]

Lost Universe😂

[@Dollibet]

neko sugar girls with slightly more budget

[@linkyblinky]

All the effort was put into character dialogues. Can that be verified?

[@RolandTheJabberwocky]

You need to get some ram and a card for your brain dude, get that FPS up.

[@soundlesspeal]

this anime probably played in the background of gekigangar lol

[@CornishCreamtea07]

When you only animate use key-frames.

[@MrSonicTeam]

everyone touch crab

[@Pratchettgaiman]

Animation worthy of Kyoto Animation or Ufotable

This is the unfinished version of episode 4 that aired, isn't it?

[@napasenseigaming]

Yep

*sip* Just like how I 'membered it...

[@soapsatellite]

I've seen hentai from the 90s with better animation

[@yamataichul]

Oh goodness YES

[@Hayamaneko]

So are you doing a full video on this episode or what?

[@X_Blake]

Wow

[@dbensdrawinvids8390]

Years ago I bought the boxed set of this, sight unseen. Oddly not the biggest waste of my money on anime.

[@tomhsia4354]

Did they fix this in the boxed set? I don't remember the animation in this being THAT bad.

[@dbensdrawinvids8390]

@@tomhsia4354 pretty sure they did, yeah

[@oldfan4049]

Why it's so bad? Budget cut or something? 'Cause Slayers was PERFECT and I refuse to believe that the same people just made this clunky fuckin' mess... 0o

[@ElectroPotato]

The show was completely reworked for home media releases, this is the broadcast version, that had a lot of production issues, including a fire.
