#but oh the s1 animation....

[xhanisai]

sometimes i forget that in canon, the show is taking place in 2015 and the main casts are my age in that year (I was 14-15) so that means they would have had people dabbing, singing whip nae nae, bopping to PSY and mourning over the death of vine and so on

#miraculous ladybug #we even had chat noir do the gangnam style dance in s1 oh mannnn #i need to animate him doing the GENTLEMAN dance #one day

Hey there! I'm glad to be reading your Zesty meta/analysis posts again and welcome back to this rather quiet fandom ^^ Since you have alot of access to niche/lost Zestiria sources, I was wondering: was it ever clarified/given context exactly when Mikleo told Sorey his True Name? I was under the assumption that this had to have happened when they were children, but nothing seems confirmed. Even the mobages don't say much if I remember clearly. Thank you in advance!

Hello! Thank you for the warm welcome (back)! Taking a bit of a break from the [English side of] the [larger] fandom was rejuvenating, and now that the fandom has calmed down I’m glad to be back too!

And about that, there’s a tiny hint in the novel actually.

スレイは拳を握ると胸にあて、ミクリオの真名を唱えた。 ――幼い頃、真名を持つミクリオを羨ましがり、ジイジを困らせたこともあった。 「ルズローシヴ＝レレイ！」 Sorey clenched his fist and placed it on his chest, chanting Mikleo’s True Name. ――When he was a child, he was envious of Mikleo who had a True Name, and this had troubled Gramps too. “Luzrov Rulay!”

Through this I just assumed that since Sorey was jealous (and probably sad, wondering why he was the only one in the village who was different from the others; he was still just a kid after all, at that time), Mikleo decided to cheer him up perhaps? By sharing his True Name. Now Sorey could have one too! That kind of thing. Because they’ve always been together anyway, and yeah they are competitive towards each other but they’ve always been best friends first, rivals second (in my eyes anyway).

(Though sharing something as intimate as a True Name, something that has been described as a seraph’s essence of life, that allows others to control them... I wonder if Mikleo got told about this by anyone in the village lol.)

Other than that though, nothing that comes up in my mind currently, though I might have forgotten or missed something.

I hope this helps!

#asks #anon #mino talks zesty #oh also just to clarify #in terms of faithfulness to the original game canon #original game > novel >>>> manga >>>>>>>>>> [UNBREAKABLE WALL] >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> x anime lol #i don't consider the x anime anyway i just leave that thing alone when talking about zesty in general #it's already an entirely different thing #s1 was at least supervised by hase but s2? he was not involved there at all lol #even in s1 he was not fully involved in the entire season so #yeah i just don't really consider it much #same with the mobile stuff tbh except for maybe rays

I FORGOT HOW NICE S2 OF II IS TO LOOK AT OMG 😭😭

#seeing clips of it like JAW DROP #s1 has lodged its way into my brain & s3 is well... s3 so i manage to forget most of everything about s2 #but OH MY GOD the animation is so much nicer to look at than s3????????? #like some of the art is a little garish of course but WOW #like i regularly have been like i cant really see why people like iii??? when i forget what came before #maybe i should rewatch s2 idk #its 4am so my babbling probably isnt coherent but whateverrr #ii neg #for those who need it

okay so the bad news is that my wifi is out (in that it is very very slow most of the time rn) and i have very little data and don’t really wanna buy more so that’s why i’ve been less active. the good news (for Me) is that netflix still mostly works so i’ve been watching through the entirety of yugioh duel monsters so like at least i’m not bored and stuck in 144p youtube land. the great news is that i’ve decided that i think it’d be fun to try and make my own trading card game. because all i’ve been doing for the past two days has been watching an anime about a tcg. this is a very good idea with no flaws

#.txt #and that’s what you missed on glee or whatever #i watched ygo as a kid but this is my first time watching it all through start to finish #this tcg idea i have probably isn’t gonna amount to much so i’m more thinking of it as #practice in creature design #and maybe practice drawing animals #which i think will be beneficial to my character designs overall #i don’t make them creechy enough #anyways once i finish ygo on netflix (and hopefully i have proper wifi again by the time i’m done) i’m gonna watch the japanese version #to Conpare #*compare #because the version on netflix is the 4kids dub which is hilarious but from what i’ve seen people Online say #it’s a lot shallower than the original #which does not surprise me #oh i also need to finish season 0.. lettuce head kaiba my boy…. #edit: i have found that they only put s1 of the dub on netflix for some reason #so i guess i have a lot more to watch than i thought #this is very much not a bad thing

[queerbaitesque]

completely forgot the jjk anime exists so i was catching up with it and wow. the animation is truly terrible

#NOT blaming the animators i know they worked in awful conditions #but like the industry is just fucking crazy #jjk is selling so much they literally dont care if the quality is nonexistent cause they know itll sell anyway #its so depressing #they dont even have the filler excuse cause theres no fillers! not even the lil post credit scenes they did in s1 #like those were better animated than the whole of shibuya #they only well animated parts of s2 so far have been the hidden inventory arc and #some sukuna scenes. SOME #oh and the yuji/choso fight but even then.... #just started the yuji/mahito fight btw so idk what the rest of the season will be like

[mooncactus]

naru/nephrite really changed something in all of us huh

#watching the subbed classic anime for the first time and like….. oh this permanently changed my brain chemistry as a 5 yr old didn’t it #also I fucking love naru and I’m so mad she’s only significant in s1 #and that she’s shackled to UMINO OF ALL PEOPLE #idk why but I remembered him crushing on her so seeing him instead be completely into usagi and ignore her was a slap in the face #naru finds nephrite again in neotokyo when she’s like 26 idgf!!!! #sailor moon

Do you know smtg about why the character design for k&7 stories different from K S1, KMK, and K S2? It's so hard to watch it TT. I like the story but at the same time the design make me sad. Somehow it look hilarious. I need the elegant design back.

I feel you anon, the 7 Stories art style makes me sad too -_- I blame GoHands for this one, the more rounded style seems to be the 'house style' that they're going for and honestly I don't think it works at all (I watched Project Scard and the animation had the same issues, I'm told Handshakers was even worse). My general feeling is that GoHands wants to be known for the cool, slick style that the first season of K had...but that's expensive, so they didn't want to do that and thus have been slowly working their way towards basically 'budget K.' You can kinda tell watching the series how even in season one the budget seems to be decreasing a but towards the end but they mostly manage to cover it well enough using tricks that are common in anime – the big battle between S4 and Homra at the school, for example, is largely done via panning still shots of people fighting rather than actual movement, and there's some re-used animation with Fushimi and Yata fighting that was taken from episode 5 but it's not hugely noticeable. Missing Kings as a movie seems to have gotten a bit more budget but there's still some reused animation there, most notably I distinctly remember Yata falling off his skateboard and then doing the breakdance move to get back up which was taken from episode 5. ROK is where they start to go a bit more on the cheap, the look isn't quite as bad as 7S but everyone's eyes I think are a little bigger and their faces a bit rounder, and there's a lot more obvious reused animation to the point that for me it dd occasionally detract from the episode – specifically in episode 12 and the S4 Big Damn Heroes moment, having the alphabet squad rush in with animation that we just saw back in episode one I think really made that moment a little less of a 'hell yeah' than it should have been.

Then in 7S we basically get the final form of unfortunate animation, where everyone has giant anime eyes and the designs look a little flatter and some of the backgrounds look really off. I couldn't get through more than one episode of Handshakers but I've been told that series had a particularly bad habit of having characters standing on computer generated backgrounds where they didn't look quite on the same plane as the places they were supposed to be occupying and while I don't think 7S is terrible on this some of the backgrounds are just mystifying. Fushimi's house in LSW in particular is coming to mind here, there's a shot of Fushimi talking with Kisa and behind them are these absolutely gigantic arching doorways that are like doors for elephants and like I know they're rich but why does it look like they live in a museum (Scard also does this with the weird backgrounds and it's even worse, because it's supposed to take place in this lawless rundown area and the main character is supposed to be scrambling to survive but apparently he lives in an IKEA catalog. The cafe also has these really weird shelves and just a general nonsensical layout that honestly made me appreciate the look of Bar Homra even more). I don't think there was any real intentional change in style in the sense of 'we think this looks better,' I really think the change was just GoHands being cheap and trying to ape the much more successful style of S1 but without any of the budget behind it.

#k project #Talking K #S1 was so good I miss S1 art style #honestly I think GoHands is just either cheap or poor or both #and they're trying to mimic the very successful cool look of K S1 but with none of the care behind it #Scard was so cheap looking I'm sorry people who liked it but it was #it was noticeable immediately to me how every outdoor scene has no people for miles bc GoHands didn't want to animate crowds #and they reused so much K animation it was literally distracting to me #maybe other studios do this but I have never watched another series and gone 'oh I know where you took that from; #and I've watched a lot of anime #please come back S1 style everyone looked the best there

this was supposed to go as a tag essay with the sulemio and jeturk bros fan-art i reblogged just now but the artist is japanese and i do not want to subject them to an en-community practice without an explanation lol but

it's just funny how i once thought of gundam witch from mercury as just fun and very engaging despite the fact that it has two brothers with a tragic backstory in it. like me, a brodinsons lover who has written some 20k words for them (a midget to my gargantuan 100k+ gladnis and matchablossom fics, I know, but stay with me here). and I put myself in the vicinity of a golden child who is loved and admired by his half-brother and almost-twin who is also satisfied with the status quo, not knowing that their abusive father hits his golden child behind the scenes? and I thought I could be immune to the jeturk bropaganda? past present and future me would laugh. how soon did I forget my past.

#liv is typing #g witch #marvel #kind of funny that this time my favorite character is the yang older sibling and not the yin younger sibling #but like i have never seen anyone fall from grace with such a flair and his ass up and it was beautiful #me: ha rando asshole got his ass served just like that good for him #me: oh it's him again #me: DUDE ITS HIM AGAIN #me: wait he's relevant to the narrative???? #me after s1: oh of course he'd be relevant to the narrative they wouldn't give just anyone funky hair like that in anime world

[perereiii]
