except for the story and script, the scene design and breakthrough in this film The style of painting is even more eye-catching.
In "Second Renaissance", Maeda Masahiro’s Buddhist-style reincarnation presentation and Zion’s "Bodhisattva" host feel very strange, and his Studio 4C is also more famous for Animatrix.
Watanabe Shinichiro used gouache wantonly in "Kid's Story". With the distorted face and body of the movement and the swaying of the camera transition, let us experience the agility of gouache animation and the strength of freehand brushwork. In "A Detective Story", he used black and white photos in a sketch style to show off the retro style, and this performance was also very successful.
Compared with other stories, "Beyond" is childlike and fresh. After entering the haunted house, there is a scene where the protagonist stands on a narrow path and looks at the sky above. The ultra-realistic oil painting scene and heavenly light are even more fascinating. Morimoto Kouji once again showed his strength.
Yoshiaki Kawajiri is impressive because of the exaggerated style of long triangle body + thin waist. The seaweed-like hair and the over-shaded face may not be liked by everyone, but this style shows a strong vitality in his "Program" and "World Record" and gets along very well with the surreal style. Rapport.
Although Andy Jones's "Final Fantasy" failed, his 3D work still maintained its due quality, and "Final Fight of Osiris" is also a good work. In contrast, I was very disappointed with "Matriculated" produced by Peter Chung. Regardless of the style and character, the entire production and integration of 2D and 3D is too crude.
Nevertheless, this series has a high artistic standard in animation as a whole, and it suits my taste very well.
