SUBMISSION PROPAGANDA:

Sayaka -

"Deadpan, forthright, and unapologetically candid, Kanamori never hesitates to voice her thoughts, no matter how harsh or unvarnished they may be. She is often deemed as impolite, ruthless or severely intimidating (by adults and peers her age alike), and is jokingly compared to the likes of the Yakuza. She’s regarded with a degree of caution, due to her unwavering no-nonsense attitude and the fact that she will stop at nothing to get what she wants, phone camera at the ready to capture any slip up that could potentially be used as blackmail later. Survival is her top priority, looking out for herself and whoever might be left behind unfairly by circumstance. She has a steadfast mind for business and strong work ethic, openly admitting to her desire for monetary compensation (or other favors and methods of payment, such as milk or food) for even the smaller and most mundane of tasks, and won’t shy away from charging fellow members of the club as well.

She firmly holds the belief that friendship is an idealized and glorified notion. To her, individuals referred to as "friends" are often mere products of chance, brought together by shared interests and nothing more. Sayaka adamantly refrains from using the term "friend" and readily corrects anyone who mistakenly categorizes her coworkers or those she spends time with as such. She befittingly conveyed this perspective of hers to Midori on the very day they first crossed paths, and this prompted Midori to freely opt out of using the label entirely as well, instead referring to her closest peers as “comrades” ever since.

Regardless of this, Sayaka prefers to achieve a level of coexistence, as she personally describes it, with those she truly cares about, such as the few other club members. While not explicitly considering the girls as her friends, her actions reveal a deep concern for their well-being. She often watches over them, remains by their side and is ready to defend them and their cause whenever necessary. A significant reason the club came to be in the first place is Sayaka's recognition of her classmates' immense artistic potential. She encouraged them to establish their own independent studio, enabling them to create their animated films, attain recognition, and reap profits from their efforts.

In her role as their producer, she's primarily motivated by financial gain, but as she reviews Midori's and Tsubame's work, she ensures they always have the option to do their job efficiently and avoid overexerting themselves if they ever choose to do so. She’s equally supportive of their goals and will often assure them that their art is more than good enough. She insists that their work is already impressive; therefore, they could forgo so much self-imposed pressure and stop doubting their abilities or attaching undue importance to others' unhelpful criticisms, as these are often incongruent with their own artistic sensibilities and convictions.

Sayaka lacks interest and doesn’t possess much insight about art herself, yet she is more than willing to learn from her team to become a better producer. Aside from having a keen eye for business since her early childhood (despite being bad at math), she also appears to be quite knowledgeable in a wide variety of topics, and will take people by surprise whenever she starts rambling about the ins-and-outs of something that’s relevant at any given moment. One time, someone pointed out that Kanamori wasn’t at all different from Asakusa on this regard, to which Tsubame responded with a simple and knowing “yup”.

She can be seen idly cracking the knuckles of her right hand every now and then, and rarely displays a different emotion as she goes about her day donning a neutral grimace on her face. Kanamori almost only ever smiles when she’s getting paid, when friendly mocking someone, or when she’s in the middle of twisting someone’s arm to hers and the club’s advantage.

I’m going to cut it here, since I realized I have much more to say about Sayaka than any other Eizouken member so far (I thought Midori was going to be the longest but this one was already effortlessly surpassing 700 words and counting. Good god) Please please PLEASE consider voting for her!! she’s an amazing character in general, and I can easily see why she’s Sumito Oowara’s personal favorite of the bunch."

Miku -

"Hatsune Miku is the character/persona created for a voice bank. As such, she has no set personality and can essentially be molded to fit the song’s scenario. She’s basically made to be your little dress up doll except your not dressing her up with clothes you’re dressing her up with your special interests and hyperfixations. She’s like the Barbie of Autism, if you will. As such, she has garnered many fans since her debut because of how relatable she is and how comforting she can be and how you can project your own interests or quirks on her and it’d still fit her because that’s essentially what she was made for!!!

You could consider the songs she sings and brings to life for producers to be her special interest!

As she’s a voice bank, she also can struggle with tone and inflection when speaking or singing, but can also, at times, sound very life like as well! She’s incredibly versatile as a tool to use for songs and as a character! She can do anything and be anything!

Also, all characters under the Vocaloid title usually come with an item that represents them! Miku’s is a leek/spring onion, even her hair has a similar appearance to one and it could be considered a special interest of hers!

I know the whole “she can be anything” seems sorta like flimsy propaganda for her, but I think it can also resemble how some people on the autism spectrum mask our true personalities and try and adapt to who we are talking to! And we can also have many talents and special interests at a single time! At least, that’s how my experience has been with being on the spectrum….

(Anywhosies I hope this helps! Miku has been important to me and many others for a long time and it’d be a shame for her to lose due to lack of propaganda 😔)."

came to me in a dream. obsessed with whatever brand of character this is fr

[hesitationss]

i love comics about music. it's like sports anime catered to me specifically. someth like blue period or others featuring artists like keep your hands off eizouken hits too close to home since i went to art school and am an artist and such... i don't really want to interrogate or witness those struggles and joys since i'll start spiralling myself, but seeing parallel creative endeavours fills me w so much fire and emotion. i don't play any instruments aside from shitty ukelele, shitty harmonica, and kazoo lol, but i love music and i love the experience of going to live shows and feeling your soul leave your body, it's like the ultimate feeling. just like how plays, ballet, musicals can also take you to another world, just like comics take you to another world. to me all of that is the same but completely different experiences... it also helps that since music is so easily accessible in comparison to the others and a part of daily life, the 'legendary' or 'icon' status is recognized culturally and by the masses. so i'm rly enjoying reading shiori experience, i want to reread and finish beck at some point too!

This AMV is so fucking important to me.

Daicon IV is iconic and Keep You Hands Off Eizouken is my favorite anime. The two go together naturally, so someone making an Eizouken AMV set to ELO's Twilight was something that was bound to happen and this person blew it out of the fucking water.

this post has been getting a steady stream of reblogs for more than a week now. i don't really get it, does tumblr give you notifications for downstream reblogs even if you're not the OP now? if not, why are so many people reblogging it direct from me? so strange...

here's a couple more anno-cdotes though. (I'm not sorry).

when Daicon Film - a group of young otaku trying to make a short film to play at the beginning of their scifi convention - was first assembling, the organisers heard of a young prodigy animator from a local art college - Hideaki Anno. Yasuhiro Takeda met with Anno and his classmate Hiroyuki Yamaga at a scifi café called Solaris; the story goes that Anno drew an animation of a robot on napkins, blowing his mind. there's a dramatisation of this near the beginning of SteveM's astonishingly detailed retrospective of Anno:

(don't be misled by the title, that's just how he titles all his retrospective videos for some reason! it's actually very even-handed and positive lmao)

The sources I have differ a bit on what it was that Anno drew. In that clip (based on Notenki Memoirs by Yasuhiro Takeda) he's shown drawing a robot run cycle, but I've also heard that it was a transformation sequence, or a prototype of one of the scenes in the Daicon III film. In any case, Anno got involved in the project; the Daicon III film led to the incredibly technically ambitious Daicon IV film, and off the back of that, Daicon Film became Gainax.

anyway if you want more Anno scenes from Blue Blazes (based on an autobiographical manga whose author Kazuhiko Shimamoto went to school with Anno), here he is reacting to Hayao Miyazaki's animation:

and Zimmerit has a collection of Anno's drawings from this period.

Anno was apparently just as bombastic in real life as he is portrayed in this show. From here, Yoshiyuki Sadamoto talks about meeting Anno while he worked on Macross at Artland alongside Ichirō Itano:

Takekuma: At that time, he didn’t give off a sense that you could approach him very easily, right? Sadamoto: I didn’t approach him. Anno-san, he was always talking to himself in a loud voice. You could understand what he was saying even from far away. You would hear this loud voice from the other side of the hallway: “I’ve got it! The timing of Itano’s explosions-!” (laughing loudly) Sato: That’s the same as he is now. Sadamoto: He would say “I’ve got it!” and suddenly begin drawing, and go to (Shojo) Kawamori-san, or some other director - my own immediate [supervising] director was Fumihiko Takayama-san - he would go to Takayama-san and explain the drawing in minute detail, saying how many frames it should take, and how things were to be arranged, and how it would disappear. So, when, seeing his intensity, I wondered who he was, Mahiro Maeda told me “That’s Anno-san; he worked on Daicon III.” “Ah, I see,” I thought. “He loves to draw mecha.”

As impressive as the above scenes are, the most iconic Anno scenes have gotta be the God Warrior scene in Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind (1984)...

...and the rocket takeoff scene in Royal Space Force: The Wings of Honneamise (1987)...

which is unquestionably some of the most impressive mechanical animation ever drawn. (When Midori geeks out over the attention to detail need to 'act' something like a rocket launch in Eizouken, you can bet they had this sequence in mind.)

Anno went into direction in part because he felt he'd done everything he could in animation. He debuted as a director with the OVA series Gunbuster/トップをねらえ! (1988). Which was, fittingly, a mecha series in large part framed as a tribute to Dezaki's Aim for the Ace! that gradually turns into grand time dilation cosmic horror (with a side of yuri). He became truly world famous with Eva, and Eva certainly deserves all its accolades, but it would be a shame for that to eclipse his animation ^^

Metal Skin Panic MADOX-01 (1987) Dir. By Shinji Aramaki Animated By: Hideaki Anno & Kōji Akimoto

Legendary Neon Genesis Evangelion creator Hideaki Anno was only in his mid to late 20s and Kōji Akimoto being only 14 when he helped designed and animated Metal Skin Panic a mecha cyberpunk anime film.

So your arguments just like there are worse looking shows so people shouldn't be critical of clone highs designs? No offense that's stupid you can criticise differant things at the same time. And honestly even when people are just criticizing clone highs new designs and ignoring these sorts of shows that's fine. Nobody gives a shit about Paradise Pd but people care about clone high. That's literally the only reason. The people who watch paradise pd or whatever probably don't care enough to be critical of the designs. You're also acting like character design and art style are the same which they aren't. Art style can Influence character design but they're still seperate. Cause honestly even though hoops looks bad as a show. I don't hate the character designs.

I mean yeah nothing special. But it's fitting of the tone and setting. honestly these look like people you'd see in a high school for the most part. Obviously very tick and Morty inspired but you can also see some Bobs burgers influence. Calling it straight up knockoff Rick and Morty is pushing it. The way they draw eyebrows is weird and unusual, they draw teeth flat unlike Rick and Morty which draws them curved. These are kinda mino thing but they come together to form something. I'm not saying there's not truth in the artstyle being a little unoriginal. It definitely took a lot from Rick and Morty (probably because they shared some artists but idk). Also "objectively terrible character design" is just kinda not true. This is a creative field and every thing is inherently subjective. I think clone highs new character designs look better than hoops do. But emphasis on the word think. I can't say fur certain it's all personal taste.

Also you're generalizing adult animation A LOT here. The current time is the best time for adult animation objectively speaking. You're nitpicking shows that looks bad and nobody will defend for your argument. Yeah there are shows that look worse than clone high but they're are also a lot that have (subjectively) better character designs.

Primal has some great designs for both human and inhuman characters.

Keep your hands off eizouken also has great and unique character designs. It's also able to break the curse of anime having somewhat samey designs while still having realistic looking people.

Lastly I wanna use the Simpsons as an example. Generally speaking Simpsons has side characters who have more iconic designs then a lot of shows main characters. This show is obviously a lot older than most of the shows I used as referance so far but I have reasoning. The shows you used as examples of bad animation are Simpsons inspired wether they realize it or not. The Simpsons started this trend of rigid sitcom animation. Hoops is obviously trying to imitate the Rick and Morty look. But they don't really capture that fluidity and sketchiness. The Simpsons itself was very much Hannah Barbera inspired with these sort of simple movements. I'm mostly bringing up this history to add context to why these shows look the way they do because Clone High is similar with these sorts of simple movements l. Which usually aren't a choice and are more of a consequence of the budget. Both Clone High season 2, Hoops, and Paradise Pd have their reasons for looking the way they do and neither looks objectively worse than the other. One can argue that paradise pd looks like dogshit regardless. One can also argue the new clone high designs look too complicated for the tone they're going for (especially this season).

Tldr: neither hoops clone high season 2 or paradise pd looks objectively bad. But one can make a pretty convincing argument they do. Someone can do the same with clone high season 2.

Hey, maybe instead of redesigning Clone High characters, you guys should redesign characters from animated sitcoms that have objectively terrible designs?

Seriously, I dunno how anyone can look at Hoops or Paradise PD and unironically say that Clone High Season 2 has bad character designs.

I mean, look at this shit.

It’s a straight up knockoff of the Rick and Morty style, with no originality or subtle differences. 

And Paradise PD is even worse. Because it’s just the Brickleberry cast but they’re cops instead of park rangers. And Brickleberry already had some pretty lazy character designs to begin with, so taking something that was already shit and making it look a billion times worse is quite the accomplishment.

The clones in Clone High aren’t meant to be exact replicas of historical figures, they’re meant to be parodies of the characters from shows like 90210 or Dawson’s Creek, i.e. Thirty year olds playing teenagers.

Like I said before, it’s weird seeing people complain about Clone High designs in an era where the majority of animated sitcoms look like Rick and Morty.
