That's not Paperman.
I might be a little biased tho.

No, most if not all western productions have fully transitioned to flash and CG workflows.
Japan mostly uses a Paper sketch, digital colouring, compositing, and then mastering.
BGs are often also painted by hand.
Man, isn't that part of why some of us stick to anime? Though it does make it feel like Japan's more a last bastion holding out than anything else.
Madoka Magica Episode 6
I was wondering what the catch to all of this was... or part of the catch anyway.
Also I think I've finally seen every part of the show used to
make a .gif of Kyubey being thrown in front of a truck. Really, that was what got my attention for this series.
I wouldn't be interested in slave labour either.

Just as 2D gaming is still somewhat alive, traditional animation will live on in some form. Also anime kind of has stock in a certain look and unless studios can perfectly emulate that look, I dont think they can successfully do it.

ANN did a 2 hour podcast about KLK, for anyone so inclined... lol
I'm on the case.

We'll dance in your blood in your honour.
You need sleep.
I need anime!
You need a tranquilizer shot.
But I'm not talking about art, I'm talking about general entertainment. The artists can resist, but the direction of an industry is determined by people in ties. They hold all the money after all. As an artform anything continue to exist, that doesn't mean it's really "alive" as an industry.

They should make one with a wider front end so we can have a Hidamari Sketch version.
I'm only like forty-five mintues in, but the ANN Kill la Kill podcast isn't very interesting.
Panel is:
Zac
His girlfriend
Some guy who doesn't watch much anime but watched Kill la Kill four times
Some girl who doesn't watch anime
They don't really have a lot to say about it. For the two people who don't watch much anime it's their favorite show in the last ten years. Everyone on the panel thought it was fun and not very deep. Zac seemed dissapointed, because he clearly wants to start a fight with anyone who reads into the other themes the show never delivers on. He'll probably do that when they get to Twitter questions.
They had universal praise for the production and aesthetic of the show. They poop on Gurren Lagann for being too serious (even though one of them only watched the first and last episode of it). The only part that bordered on humorous was when one lady went off about how shonen shows always vilify individualism. Actually I lied, I probably almost laughed when Zac complimented the show's pacing. There was an offhanded joke made mocking "Space Anime 2159", but I don't think the guy who made the joke even knows what a Yamato is. It's...pretty much just what I expected. Kill la Kill is the perfect anime for people who are uninformed, and now you can listen to some lady bragging about how she doesn't even know if the studio is named Trigger.

...what? Even if you only watched one episode, how can someone think that? TTGL is a good story because it takes simple themes and builds the entire plot around those themes and the symbolism attached to it. The whole show is about punching robots and overcoming adversity. Even with this panel of experts, that just sounds unbelievably stupid.

I'd buy one.
I think TTGL takes itself far more seriously than Kill la Kill does, even if they're both over the top. It's one of the biggest differentiators in tone between the two series. I am increasingly convinced that the audience for Kill la Kill is very different from Gurren Lagann. The other KlK podcast I listened to took a similarly dismissive tone to TTGL because it has mechs.

Handpicked by Zac.
Well, most things take themselves more seriously than Kill la Kill. Inferno Cop takes itself more seriously than Kill la Kill. The writer certainly didn't take Kill la Kill seriously.
People in ties have to sell stuff and they won't sell if they don't cater to the tastes of people, especially if those sales depend on a very small group of people with very specific tastes.
For example, if Sidonia doesn't sell Blu-Rays, won't people in ties read that is not the right direction to go?
My personal feeling, as little valuable as it can be, is that if 3D is going to replace 2D, it will need to be much better than Sidonia to do so.

I remember when the show had nice, small arcs like that!
Not that I care about IntSaimoe, of course.
I've lost count of how many times I've watched that video. Her VA's delivery is superb and I can't imagine anyone else having the role now. As for ToX, she sounds like this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vKdge5zhDt4
Yeah, her theme is one of my favourites from the DAL OST. Probably my 3rd favourite of the non-vocal tracks behind Mission of AST and the orchestral version of the OP theme. Her VA's song (16bit Girl) is also my favourite of the individual songs.
I don't understand that first table, it must be some kind of alien message that is indecipherable for me
Thanks for the links! She sounds nice, but different of course, I was wondering if the made her put a "Kurumi voice" but I realized that Xillia came before DAL after all. I wonder how that process goes in terms of voice direction.
Your other links made me realize that DAL has a really great soundtrack, it´s part of the enjoyment of the show for me.
Come on, that was even too fast! It was almost anticlimactic.
Of course, I would like a faster pace now, at this point the rest of the series looks a far, far, memory relatively to Chimera arc.
Why is it even a factor if a work of fiction takes itself seriously or not? a proper fictional world has its own set of rules and ideas that make complete sense in the context of itself and if it chooses to either joker around with those ideas or to play it straight, as long as its done competently I dont see why it should matter to those guys or anyone.
Neon Genesis Evangelion Ep. 5
Finally getting around to watching this, im already getting the sense that this show will invoke massive feels in me. I can see all the Gainax eccentricities just in the first couple of episodes.
Should I watch the movies after the show, or go right to the 3 OVAs?

I want to slap everyone that isn't a main character in this show ... is it a side effect of the cliché writing ?
Maybe i'm part of the 10% because i have no idea what this means.
It's a great choice. But the anime is far behind because the writter write at a very fast pace. so be warned that you have a lot of material to read. The 2 season of index cover 14 books after all.
If you want a good fun and crazy adventure i recommand reading high school dxd..it's not as perverted as you'd think given the franchise but it's very entertaining.
I just want so 2D too , in the mix.
2D still lives in my heart !
Only movie you should be watching is End of Evangelion once you finish the tv series.

If you use your imagination, the Ant Arc is actually three arcs!
("queen and Kaito in NGL" part, "training, comeback and infiltration" part, "final showdown" part)Yeah. Not just somewhat alive, but thriving nowadays with an avalanche of humble sprites and pixels garnering the 'big' publishers support.
Absolutely true. This medium's entertainment as it is consumed right now would probably never be the same. Concurrently, many on the Japanese animation industry talk about the decline of animators capable in certain subsets of skills not that necessary or important nowadays... for example, as it was said recently by people like Takashi Hashimoto (during The Wind Rises production), or Yō Yoshinari. I truly agree!
And you know, maybe I give to much importance to the future role of now hobbyists as incoming "full-fledged" independent animators, which hone their skills through tools that every passing day are more broadly available, and more powerful to boot. Sharing, comparing and perfecting them on this wide web. Schooling themselves in that art, although not just to make 'art' but something that can take the form of anything and everything. Creating collaborative works and boutique enterprises that treasure such traditional ways...
... but I'm 'naïve', yeah, there are little profits to gain from that and the industry is really "dying" in the aspect you mention. If the money (TV stations and production companies walled reigns) flings this way, I'll be cool with that as long as the workers can adapt to the changing situation properly and the works keep being fair projects I find entertaining. There is always something of worth and respect in the efforts of anyone.
My brother lent me:
-You Are (Not) Alone
-You Can (Not) Advance
-You Can (Not) Redo
(Those all sound really emo?)
-Death and Rebirth
-The End of Evangelion
And the TV series.
I was thinking TV series->Movies->OVAs
TVshow --> End of Evangelion --> Rebuildmovies
TV series ---> End of Evangelion. Didn't watch Death & Rebirth but I think it's mostly retelling of TV show, not mandatory. Then, if you still have enough sanity left, the Rebuild (Not) movies.
Watch the TV series, End of Eva, then the three movies. Death and Rebirth is just a recap movie. Some people also say to watch End before the last two episodes of the show. I didn't do that but it's an option.
Theres a certain look to anime in 2D that will be hard to replicate. If they can make 3D look "right" Im alright with it. If it looks stupid or final Fantasy-like I think a lot of people will just ditch it altogether.
It was kind of like a middle-finger to the audience in some ways lol. Not stupid, but different.
Like death threats to Anno happened afterwards. Good times.
