An EXCELLENT animation joke here! Please note that all of this has been animated on 1’s(which is to say that each drawing is only being held for 1 frame), where most anime is animated on 3’s(each drawing held for 3 frames). This makes the animation look especially fluid, but is extremely time consuming to do – even classic Disney cartoons tended to animate on 2’s as much as possible!
Also worth noting is the beautiful flow of S to C curves in the long hair – this is another thin that is often heavily simplified in anime.
What’s more, the entire shot is complicating the animation – the low angle with multiple head turns, the way the hand interacts with the hair, and the extreme foreshortening of the hand as it moves towards the camera.
Lovely animation combined with a wonderful awareness of the skills and pitfalls of the industry!
(This clip is sourced from an anime called Joshiraku, and the rest of it appears to be animated in a more traditional anime style)
I cleaned Will’s family’s kitchen because they have fucking mice and a fly problem and the second his mom got home the counter suddenly has a dirty pan, open chips, an open cheese jar, a cheesy lid, a dirty spatula, a big ass plastic bag with arsenic blocks in it, a torn chocolate cake mix packet, and a sauce covered tupperware lid strewn about 🙃
And somehow??? Somehow there is an entire plate just sitting on the floor
How 🙃 does 🙃 she 🙃 live 🙃 like 🙃 this
The mice in this house are going to form an alliance and rise up against us and i am powerless but to watch it happen. I may strike a deal with them when the time comes, become prince of the mice, king of the rodents, and i will rest upon a royal throne made of the fallen food that this family refuses to clean up off of the ground
I am attempting to establish spiritual communication with their people
He
THE ORACLE IS HARD AT WORK
NO!!!!!!!!!!!
You sick fucks wanted me to Ask Later so here you go
The Wise Ones shat all over the last paper so i had to make a new one, and we’ve caught and released about 5 mice since yesterday, so I don’t know how fast they’ll be to answer, but we will see if they grant me their Prophecies
Thus Begins, The Final Consultation
HHNNGG THEY TOOK A PIECE AND CARRIED IT BACK WITH THEM
I’m reading Don Quixote for my world literature class and apparently when it was first published in 1605 it was world-changingly popular, one of the first “popular novels” as we know it today, and there were all sorts of people who were writing and publishing their own unofficial fan-sequels to Don Quixote which was basically the first fan-fiction, and then in 1615 the original author wrote an official sequel in which Don Quixote reads a piece of fanfic about him and sets out on a quest to beat up the author who mischaracterized him
This is one of the many reasons why Don Quixote is and always will be one of my hands down favorite books.
trees like these are the best to sit under and read books or draw or just relax and be alone
or you can climb it and sit up in the foliage waiting for unsuspecting pedestrians to walk by so you can swing down on one of the roots with a Tarzan scream and kick them in the face before running from the traffic cops
Two kinds of people.
can you imagine how many spiders there are in that tree
When I was kid getting put to bed at 9:00 I couldn’t wait until I was a grown up and could stay up until whatever time I wanted. That time is, apparently, 9:00.
Was it for this I uttered prayers, And sobbed and cursed and kicked the stairs, That now, domestic as a plate, I should retire at half-past eight?
