HOUSE OF THE DRAGON 2.05 — Regent

[asgoodeasgold]

I finally managed to get hold of the bluray for Pressure 🥳 (not that I will ever be able to watch it in full 😬😭).

So to celebrate, here is an edit of sweet, gorgeous, tragic Peter Mitchell and a bonus goode smirk in the gif (it's very faint but I can see it!).

I love the bottom left picture, such noble features 🩵.

Checking in to let you know your Mark Strong propaganda on the hot jane austen men poll has convinced me to finally seek out the Beckinsale Emma. I didn't watch it in my first Austen adaptation glom (around 2000/2001) because he looked so *dour* and there was Jeremy Northam and also that hair. In my defense I was young and dumb. But the gif of the smile convinced me. Now to figure out how to watch this darn thing!

Hi!!!

What an honor! *sweats profusely*

I do not intend to make it look like the best adaptation of Emma ever made (though it is my second favorite after 2009), but I do think people in general give it less credit than it deserves -I'm aware a lot of it has to do with directing choices that are shocking and Andy being weird on main with Certain LinesTM.

Mark Strong is a bit of an acquired taste. I didn't like him much on my first watch, but on a rewatch I noticed other things that made me really like his performance, once I got the first "shock" of some scenes over. But I have also always been a fan of his, so.

In any case, 96 also has Olivia Williams' Jane Fairfax, which I think is the best we've ever gotten, hands down, and Samantha Morton is always a treasure. I also really really like this movie's take on John Knightley. He's very little in it, but I love every scene he's in.

As to where to find it... the usual streaming suspects, if you don't buy dvds/blurays would be britbox or uktvplay, or Acorn.

There's a couple low-res versions on YT.

So I finally got to watch the bluray version of this ep... and I'm disappointed. No improvements at all 😔

Not even just the rabona scene. How difficult could it be to change this scene...

(screenshot from the bluray coz I'm too lazy to gif right now)

...to this:

Like, I'm not even asking for much anymore!

The ugly CGI is still there even in the bluray, but I was hoping they’d at least get Bachira’s rabona right 😭

Seriously, the animation they used in the OP is so much more dynamic and hype than the one in the actual episode

A Review on the Animation of Bachira's Super Special Goal in Episode 9

I've covered the romantic aspect of this scene in a previous post, so now I'll talk about the animation of Bachira's entire sequence in general.

I had been looking forward to this sequence so much that the moment Bachira showed up like this:

... I just straight up squealed 🤣.

I couldn't stop myself from grinning but had to compose myself coz my sister was in the room XD

Anyways, this part was just done so well. Bachira's seiyuu, Kaito Tasuku, is really perfect for him. That sudden drop from a high pitch and cheery tone to a deep and serious one--*chefs kiss*

And I gotta say Bachira's seiyuu really carried this whole sequence. Because unfortunately, right after this, the animation quality started being inconsistent.

There were some good parts, like Bachira's roulette spin:

But then the quality would drop in parts where it really mattered. This one, especially, was extremely underwhelming:

Seriously, what the hell was this?

Bachira looks too tiny, and the art is just off. I get they were trying to fit his whole body into the frame, but look at how the manga did it:

In the anime version, Bachira is drawn like a background character when this is supposed to be his most glorious moment. He also looks too stiff.

I also don't like how in the anime there isn't much contrast between Bachira and the three extras behind him. He literally looks like he's one of them 😭

Similar sentiment for this part:

How on earth can a static manga drawing look more dynamic than the animated version 😭😭😭???

The entire scene above, by the way, is only 23 frames in total when imported to Photoshop. This closeup of Bachira tilting his head and smiling looked more fluid at over 80 frames:

And I've noticed that in this episode, the anime is trying to cut corners by just showing us a close-up of their faces instead of animating their whole body. It's probably why we have this right after Bachira passes that ball to Isagi:

It quickly covers up the stiffness of his kick from before.

And then we just have faces until the dribbling starts...

These ones looked off to me:

What did they to you, Isagi???

I don't know if it's just me, but I think his eyes are too close together. The downward lines of his mouth look weird, too. And how is the camera so close to his face??? They had nothing to emphasize here. It's just plain bewilderment. It's not special like these other scenes where the close-up is important:

And here's the manga version:

It's more dynamic. We actually see Isagi moving his whole body to receive that ball, and we see the other players reacting to it as well instead of just being frozen in the background.

And speaking of being frozen...

Can we just talk about the use of CGI in this episode:

They don't last long, but those lack of shadows still make the CGI very noticeable.

I really wonder how much budget Studio 8Bit has for Blue Lock... Bachira's dribbling is harder to animate than Chigiri's speed-running and Kunigami's power kicks. There'll be more of Bachira's insane dribbling in the next arc, and I sure don't want them to resort to CGI for those...

But although I'm not 100% satisfied with the animation this episode, I still gotta thank the animators for at least making the dribbling look as awesome as it should be. This one was very satisfying to watch:

Bachira just making his way downtown, dribbling fast, faces pass..

His face here? Perfect.
