       What the fuck is wrong with GoHands? That's like the most ambitious shot I've ever seen in anime, but it's like, overly ambitious

       @coolboymew Also, is that 60 FPS? I generally hate how anime scenes look at 60 FPS, whenever an anime scene that I want to rewatch on JewTube is only available in 60 FPS, I groan.

       @coolboymew yeah that's what I mean, they interpolated the 2d animation frames which probably were drawn over 3d

       @hj maybe, the 2D during the 3D part looks overly smooth, smoother than usual, but it's better than it being choppy

       @coolboymew if the scenes were 2D, too, that’d be very interesting, but they’re obviously CGI.if I were rich I’d pay some autists to hand draw anime/cartoons to be fluid like this, costs be damned. no cgi.

       @coolboymew Man, I was looking forward to this series, and you’re telling me it’s just going to make me motion sick? Bummer. What a wacky shot. I don’t watch many films, but it feels like someone trying to be really artsy with their shot composition and not understanding why long, single take following shots are used. If the series was going to be about visual spectacle and high paced action I could understand it, but this is a slice of life about a girl who forgets her glasses, calm down man!

       @coolboymew No, it’s not. But, it seemed about as visually retarded as that manga section was story-wise retarded (esp. compared to the webcomic).The first season will always be one of the best in anime history. The second season…had its moments, good and bad. Not sure how season 3 will be, but they’d need to fix the story to make it worth doing after they get to the surface fights with the Monster Association and Psykos.

       @Kleagle @coolboymew It’s not that complicated, they’ve just chosen to do more dynamic camera angles than you’d normally expect from a particular high frame sequence (this is also a good example of why that isn’t usually done, when you put this much budget into a sequence you want people to appreciate the detailed movement and not be distracted by bullshit) but the much bigger problem is that there’s a really unpleasant contrast between the 3D rendered environment and the 2D characters. Even though they have made the 3D environment more stylish than the bare bones it still doesn’t look great, but all these wacky angles keep drawing attention to it. A lot of money for a bad idea.

       @coolboymew looks like they wanted to show off their high FOV renders and their ability to cell shade / interpolate on them. That’s at least what it seems like to me, just showing off an effect. Doesn’t look drawn, looks rendered, gives me early 3D fan animation vibes.

       You'd need a computer generated first draft, but otherwise everything else could  be done by hand.

       @rher @coolboymew @lichelordgodfrey Yeah that's what they've done for crazy shots in anime since the 90's. They use the 3D to create background perspective, then still draw the keyframes and inbetweens as usual

       @hj @coolboymew seems like floating models sometimes... Also... Some shots are ambitious but not really good...

       The superman shorts from the 30s did this to an impressive result, but I don't think it would look particularly Japanese.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LUFN1IjK4ww

       @rher @lichelordgodfrey @coolboymew the chika dance scene was rotoscoped; there's a lot of room for interpretation between the film and the final productyoutube.com/watch?v=QDXh9hoYooY

       I generally like it conceptually, but the execution has too many scenes  with a really bad perspective ... it's like trying to do one of those real life 1-take sequences (like from _Children of Men_), but it comes off looking like it was made with A.I. and they didn't bother to go back and fix the weird parts. Also I wonder if there will be a term for things done by real life animators but looks like bad A.I. ...

       I never realized that was Rotoscoped. Whenever I think of Rotoscope, I think of Waking Life and A Scanner Darkly

       @djsumdog @deprecated_ii @rher @coolboymew The technology became better, not worse. The Heavy Metal movie has a lot of rotoscoped stuff, too.

       I thought it was taking normal live action video and using a process to draw over it, making it look animated.

       @deprecated_ii @rher @coolboymew @lichelordgodfrey Modern 3d uses similar technique for motion capture. The only reason OP video looks a bit weird, is because they dont have time to film everyone doing random motions and translating them into models. In the end its just a question of time and budget.

       @moshibar @moshibar @coolboymew The way that the camera tracks is exactly why you are reminded of game CGI animation.They did something cool with this intro to the show, but also failed at executing it in various ways. In some shots, characters are lying down on the ground, standing above the ground, and other oddities. Not enough frames in many shots, especially walking. No textures and overly glossy surfaces. Many problems.Still, it was somewhat enjoyable. It's understandable that a shot like that would require cheap CGI without a multi-million dollar budget and many years of work.

       @coolboymew Watched the episode. The anime feels way too overproduced for the tone of the original work, IMO.Komura was never so worshipfully obsessed with her, and there were none of those ambitious “floaty hair” shots. I’ll watch a few more episodes to see if it settles in, but it just feels super tonally dissonant. It’s a cute little SOL with short, snappy chapters, this (in hindsight) feels like they’re trying to pad the runtime with technical spectacle rather than letting the character designs and cute interactions carry it. They also feel too old, they’re supposed to be middle schoolers, but this type of flowery obsession feels like a HS manga. Part of it is Komura sorting out his (granted, positive) feelings for Mie, and this just leaps to him being Komi-style obsessed with her. Again, I love the manga, so I’ll give it a chance, but I’m afraid it’s going to end up being the opposite of Boku no Kokoro, where I was leery initially but loved it. I want to love this, but it just didn’t hit.
