Fave Anime OPs (5/?)— Atashi dake ni Kakete by Omokage Lucky Hole

(From: Natsu no Arashi!)

[despair-to-future-arcs]

Let’s focus!

Yeah, anyway - did anything happen aside from the food stuff?

???: Not much really, I mean aside from all the organizations working together and getting the list of companies that funded Ultimate Despair.

???: I think we can safely say that probably by either the weeks to come or months, things will calm down.

I see, so that means no more dead folks coming here; that's good to hear, hopefully if my kid's broadcast informs the public and things go smoothly, then maybe we can get stuff return to normal, yeah?

Well, normal for the most part - I mean people still died, so we still got a lot of work to do but at least the fight between hope and despair might end sooner...

Ac-Actually... we just discover something really dreadful and I think we need to share it... it's about Future Foundation or at least Hope's Peak Academy...

Discover? Wh-What do you mean... you don't seem to sure...

Well... the thing is that there's arguing still happening with the teacher, it's pretty bad and uh, Mrs. Kimura can I ask you a question since you were Class 76's teacher; did you uh... do anything weird to your students?

Weird? Not that I know of, why do you ask...

Aside from what Masa tear into Class 77-B for how they treated Nagi and Mikan, I don't recall doing anything, why do you ask?

Right I remember your daughters attended Class 75, right? what's going on?

Well... you remember that Miaya girl was working on the Neo World Program, we just learn that she was stalling because she wanted to redeem that horrid cousin of hers who just so happen to be Class 77-B's teacher and was the mother of Monaca Towa.

Wait, their cousins? I mean, we heard a lot of bad stuff she did but it couldn't be that bad, could it?

No, it's far far worse...it's...uh...well...

*SLAM!*

*As then Class 78's door open which a bunch of students flooded out and you hear screaming*

CHISA: Look, I re-really had no idea that was happening! Look, we got no idea what she was doing or-!

???: Bullshit, you had someone like that at your school and do weird shit to my kid, you better explain yourself!

???: Yeah like what the actual fuck just happen you asshole!

???: Exactly, we trusted our kids with so why did you let that person become a teacher?!

Dude, close the door! It's getting really going to shit right now!

*As requested, the others did as Leon close the door; as shouting from angry parents came out*

Oh gosh, that... that was scary...!

Oh god, wh-what in the...? was it really that bad everyone? I only just left to inform Mikako of what she miss out on, bro is everything alright?

Mo-More then you can imagine, the parents they... they were yelling at the Miss. Yukizome for...for...

Now, I'm just...I'm scare, re-really really scare...especially for Makoto right now, since he's working under that women!

Yeah no kiding, especially that bitch...she... she did that, god fucking damnit...

What just happen? I heard a lot of parents shouting in there, did you all discover something really bad?

Ye-Yeah, i-it's really bad and so many of the parents got angry, my parents were freak out realizing they were going to send me to that school when a predator... I think we should wait until Class 77 is done and uh, ask Yukio... but I'm not sure if we should...

Still given he knew and ev-everything, he must know what happen, ri-right?

Indeed but right now, I'm just beyond furious and anger over this, how... how could they let such a person be a teacher? This... this makes no sense!

Something tells me I got a lot of work to do...

Looks like it.

[ciaossu-imagines]

Hello there! For the mini event may you please do gintama with the au avatar the last airbender, thank you!

Hello there, my lovely anon! I definitely can do that - I really couldn't come up with solid ideas, so I admit to taking the lazy way out, so have a pretty comprehensive list on what type of Benders everyone would be in this AU! And guys, there are so many characters in Gintama so I swear it wasn't as easy and lazy as it looks! Thanks for sending in a request and I hope you'll enjoy!

Okay, so we're going into this AU with there being the four major bending types - Earth, Air, Fire and Water. Each bending type is as it is portrayed in Avatar: The Last Airbender, with people possessing different degrees of bending and different skills being present within each bending type.

So, when considering which type of Bender each character would be, I kind of broke it down into personality types and traits and qualities to look for, based on what I figure the 'stereotypical' Bender is for each of the four.

Earth Benders are a little rough around the edges, slow to anger, slow to decide on things, but stubborn once their mind is made up. They can be sensitive and they are often very patient.

Air Benders are gentle souls, respectful and adaptable, changeable. They're fast, both in their movements and in their thoughts.

Water Benders are typically calm and easy-going, flexible enough to adapt to their companions or situations. They're often quite easy to talk to and rather content with their lives.

Fire Benders are often prideful and confident individuals who are loyal, determined and ambitious. They can be very playful and fun but they often also have very short fuses on their tempers, which can be very volatile and explosive.

Keeping that in mind, this is what I figure the characters would be for Benders.

Jujutsu Kaisen Season 2 Animation Talk/Opinion (?)

Don't really have a great grasp on a title, but here's an interaction from Twitter between two JJK S2 animators Vann Oba, and Dorian Coulon. Images for both because since finding the tweet Oba has deleted the thread, and shortly thereafter Coulon removed their response.

If it wasn't obvious, this a respectful move between fellow animators for something that got a little heated/opinionated, so it's important to not fault or attack either.

That said, the ideas represented in these tweets feel important and interesting to discuss given the post from kViN just yesterday.

So, allow me to provide an exterior thought process on the opinions of the interaction, even though I'm not in the industry directly.

I think, truthfully the proof is in the pudding. Let me explain. When Coulon says "Sakkan", they mean "Animation Director", the person in charge of making sure everything looks clean and nice and correct. It's a very important role for maintaining the quality of the series and accuracy of character drawings, so a lot of the time you'll see character designers credited as "Chief Animation Director" where they'll oversee the series to keep things on model.

A large number of animation directors does not necessarily mean things are bad, though, so it's important to take a look at your production at a large scale.

So, let's look at the latest episode of Jujutsu Kaisen Season 2- episode 13.

This is what we have for animation directors, and I think immediately, the structure proposed by the list of directors is questionable.

The titles (on the left), are as follows: Chief Animation Director, Assistant Chief Animation Director, Animation Director, Assistant Animation Director.

But lets dig a little deeper and get a little weird. The two staff credit with Chief Animation Direction are Yousuke Yajima and Mitsue Mori. Neither are one of the two lead character designers for the series (Mori is credited as sub-character designer, however).

Getting into Assistant Chief Animation Director though, Sayaka Koiso is credited (they are one of two Character Designers). Interestingly enough though, Souta Yamazaki is credited under the Assistant Chief role, and this is their first time (really) on animation direction for the series. I say that because in the episode (episode 5) that Yamazaki directs, they were also the animation director. Which isn't that uncommon, but I'd say in a time crunched production like this can be a questionable decision. Especially because of Yamazaki's mold breaking tendencies within Jujutsu Kaisen.

Anyways, search and search away, you will not find the second character designer for Jujutsu Kaisen on this list. In fact, you won't find him mentioned anywhere else than Character Designer, in any episode this season.

Again, I really do need to stress that this sort of thing isn't "bad" necessarily, but I believe that within the larger scope of production struggles, having only half of your character designer duo doing animation direction isn't the greatest thing ever.

Now, just to wrap things up on this aspect. Only one character designer appears as an AD (Animation Director), and they're an Assistant Chief rather than actual chief. You have twenty-one animation directors total, the undeniable record for a JJK TV production (JJK 0's movie totals 25 ADs across all positions, which is on the high end for even a movie). You have plenty of people without experience in the role of animation director (not assistant). And it isn't just a one-off issue with the scope of the production.

I know, it's a lot of information, but this next piece really ties a bow on my whole point here.

That is, a lot of second key animators. Now, you might be wondering, "well what does a second key animator do, really?". If I were to summarize it as simply as possible, they are a step between key animator and animation director that is responsible for cleaning things up before it gets to the director. Effectively, a way to fix things here and there so that the director is not entirely overloaded.

Once more, I will stress that this in and of itself isn't always an indication of something necessarily.... but when you see a list that takes up almost the whole screen you can surmise that what the KAs are producing isn't the greatest ever.

So, time to finally pull it together. Episode 13 was a fight for the moments that it gave viewers, and is the most shining example of the incorrectness of Oba's tweet, and the justification of Coulon's.

Why?

Well, imagine this. You're doing LO/KA, you're on a crappy schedule and short on time and resources. You need to squeeze something out the door, so you do. It's not great, it's got issues, but it's done. Issue is, that "not great" isn't up to snuff, so you call in second key animators to deal with it. This batch of "not great" really mustn't have been that good because of how many there were, and how many animation directors remained to correct.

The point of this all is that Coulon's statement is not only correct, but incredibly important in how the industry is being shaped and how things happen.

LOs/KAs should be good. They don't have to be perfect, or even great, but they should be good. The idea (unless you're someone on the level of Yutaka Nakamura) shouldn't be to "provide animation", but rather provide a framework for your cut. Provide something so that you don't need a mountain of 2KAs and a pile of ADs.

But that sentiment only tells a fraction of the story. Not everyone wants to hand in low level work, in fact kViN's post that I talked about the other day references the regret and dismay voiced by many animators due to subpar work they've done due to scheduling and timelines. The whole point is that while it's a dangerous mindest that Oba posted about (and has already deleted), there is still plenty of onus on the approach of the companies that ask for so much from such little time.

So yeah, the Jujutsu Kaisen production is struggling with all its might, and while some may stem from the approaches of individuals such as Oba (though we have no possible way to confirm this is how they choose to approach Layouts), quite a lot is the fault of the framework given to the individuals as it promotes lackluster effort and freelancing.

This contains every blader/non-blader I can think of from Burst, and the Corpse Party variant of a couple of my OCs. It is based on MBTI and Enneagram. Each Corpse Party person is the one that each blader is the closest to (or the same typing as) in these aspects. 44-51 is just based on vibes or something. Some of each verse won't be included.
