Bro got the jack o latern rizz 💀

Was wondering why the “2d”animation looked different 😂

I like how it embraces the smoothness of 3D animation instead of purposely making it choppy to look like normal anime

It feels like HFR like in a video game, otherwise it's pretty neat.

​@TheGreatCookingLord I mean there is a reason why they do it. This feels way too animated, Team Orange knows what works and what doesnt.

Like Guilty Gear?

​​@@eyywannn8601I wouldn't say that. Guilty Gear (and other 3D arcsys titles like DBFZ) tended towards the smaller framerate generally found in 2D anime, whereas Girls Band Cry is much smoother. It quite literally replicates how 2D anime feels in terms of flow, but it also uses light and shadow in a way that makes it feel natural. That is, using the shading techniques found in 2D anime, having clear regions of light and dark rather than trying to smooth everything out. The problem a lot of 3D anime productions have is their attempt to replicate the flow of 2D anime while also trying to keep the smoother shading of 3D models, which just doesn't tend to work. If we take something like Persona 5 for example, it tends to have smoother shading than 2D anime, so the animation matches that. However, in the 2D cutscenes, they switch to 2D anime practices, with less smoothness and more clear regions of light and dark, as well as lowering the framerate to match. This is why its visual style works so well; it embraces the fact that its art style is different, so it doesn't try to cling on to an element that doesn't match.

I really like how in-tune the animation is with the super active voice acting. something I often dislike about traditional anime is how a character could be shouting with fierce passion yet be stuck on screen with a single frame and some lip-flapping, or with some luck a loop a loop of their head slightly swaying side to side. here everything is both so exaggerated, yet so precise. Every little breath is animated.

Hey it's better than lots of 3D character animation in anime.

Kind of like trigun stampede

Tbf, I believe that lot of the outer parts of Japan same sex attraction is still not looked at fondly or even neutrally?

I think that line would fit more if it's a Japanese person in America; it stands out way more there

@@layonyatsu7203 If you live in the countryside Tokyo may seem like a different world, or any big cities for that matter so it fits.

@@Kumire_921 Indeed. Who hasn't heard of country pumpkins (I do mean that term affectionately btw) in the US going to NY with dreamlike idea about the place, only to have it shattered on arrival? I mean, just the smell in large parts of the city is... "aromatic" Sure, the city is grand, but lot of folk seem to mentally create unrealistic expectations of the place.

@@Elmithian That's exactly how i felt when i went to Paris for the first time, the very first big city i ever visited. The amount of people, the smell, constant noise, the frenetic pace of everything can really be discomforting at first. I still loved it of course but it really was different than how i imagined it lol.

It's super smooth too! Smooth and Sweet!

Strangely reminds me of a really good SFM animation, take that as a compliment

It's a good full 3D animation not like the one ex-arm has.

@@QuantomTripodoh god no

​@@Four_ShadowingPootis Engage

Truly an Angel.

Finally an anime studio figured out that to make 3D anime look smooth you can't just emulate 2D that is only animated in 12-15 fps tops. This anime is animated in 30fps and everything feels amazing! Also the animation themselves are top notch work. The 30fps on top just finally pushed it from that uncanny feeling.

They probably used a tool that made games with story

It looks awful.

@@Username-2 Awful Berserk 2016 and Ex Arm, this is at worst competent. However, it does need more polish on the mouth movement with the jaw and the director needs to take our of his head that he doesnt need such extreme close ups to safe costs redraws, its a 3D render FFS. But out of that, it looks quite well.

@@w21aaaaa Yeah, that shit has always bothered me on the low amount of FPS on CGI anime on this day and age. Like WTF, in 2000-2001 fucking Vandread, which at the time they had wayyyy less computing power to render, the animators figured out that going 30 FPS was the way to do it but it took until 2017 with Houseki no Kuni to remind the industry that "hey... maybe we should not do shitty stop motion with the CGI and actually start doing animation with it"

I will give you an advice... watch houseki no kuni/land of the lustrous is the same quality as this one .. and it was the king of 3d anime until this one show up and i promises you it is an awesome experience you will not regret it trust me :)

I mean.... RWBY has been doing it like this but better for like, 6 years already, but sure.

⁠@@the-NightStarnah, this is way better than rwby.

​@@the-NightStarbro needs to see his optometrist, hasn't gotten a prescription update since the bees took his eyes out

​@@the-NightStaryou're saying that RWBY's animation better than this? Dawg.. use your eyes..

Considering the studio behind this is TOEI Animation, i am not surprised it's this good.

RWBY updated their animation style after volume 3, it's definitely been at this level for a while now!

@@viidesu not even RWBY animation is as good as Land of The Lustrous and that anime has worse animation than this. You can see every detail from the subtle animation to the lipsync, even the shadows are potrayed correctly. Honestly RWBY animation needs more weight and impact to improve, even after V9 the animation still a bit floaty.

@@viidesu RWBY had passable fight scenes that became worse as time went on. The animation itself is complete ass otherwise.

​@@afilthyweeb8684ok no way, rwby fights are more than just passable, they're good.

i would def give it a watch today cus just wow

It's almost as if making high quality 3d models and not cutting the framerate in half to pretend it's not 3d would lead to a better show. But seriously, jokes aside, the animators here are treating 3d right. They're clearly putting a lot of effort in and really working to get the timing, set design, lighting and expressions nailed. Going to have to keep an eye on this studio.

Yeah, way better than whatever Mappa uses in their shitty shounen CGI lol.

I've only watched one anime from studio Orange (Trigun Stampede) and immediatly noticed it was them. Their 3D animation is just by far the best i've seen in anime. Also that short clip will probably get me to watch this one lol

@@nessa-parmentierGirls Band Cry is animated by Toei Animation.

If the bullying theory is real then this is probably a " omg here they are so casual about it ?" , at least that's how i interpreted it rewatching it

​@@damascar3639 The bullying theory? Not sure what that is but in this case it's probably more like it's a relatively rare thing so it's normal to presume that everyone is straight because you are almost certainly correct to presume everyone you meet is probably straight.

Her reaction is probably average, the Tokyo comment is hilarious though. lol

Girls Band Cry

Agree. 2D is justice, but the future for 3D simulacra is looking bright.

We already have a ton of stuff. The problem is getting back the money used. That is why titan a.e. the movie killed Don bluth studios. It was revolutionary at the time but the money made like 30% back it's production cost. At the end of the day you get something that will be cancelled in 6-8 episodes and remembered for what it could have been.

The only reason we didn't get better looking 3D anime before was because for some reason studios were obsessed with choppy framerate and lazy animations with barely any creativity involved, these tools have existed for a while, we just needed someone who's actually trying to nail the expressiveness of anime.

Digital frontier does some great work with their 3d animation, and it's always smooth and not made choppy, infini-T force looked so good with great fights, even their appleseed movies from mid 2000's looked pretty good Polygon pictures used to be good with ajin and levius having great animation, but they sure didn't look the best, but now their shows/movies look great but have the choppy animation, wish they would mix the old animation and new look, that would be fantastic

@@Kasum_ish Yeah lowering your 3D animation's framerate doesn't mean good 'imitation' 2D. (AHEM BERSERK 2016)

I swear this is fully 30fps. Even studio Orange (Beastars and Houseki no Kuni) are still animating more mundane moments in lower FPS (12-15) to emulate 2D animation, and those scenes felt "laggy". Meanwhile this one looks absolutely amazing.

This is 24fps, but without any animating on 2s or 3s. Most animes will draw characters in 2s or 3s (effectively 12fps & 8fps respectively) and leave camera pans and or special effects in 24fps. Also no modern anime are animated in 30fps. The only anime I know of that was animated in 30fps was the 1st season of Inital D, and that's only for the CGI, character cels are still 8-12fps.

@@ASEM-1123 i wasn't sure of the framerate of the normal 3d animation (character models etc) that gives it that "jittery" feeling. good info.

​​​​​@@disgustof-riley8338 It doesn't have to fill in those gaps, but these studios would rather go for a smoother animation that's cheaper and quicker to produce than something more stylized with more key frames and less in-between frames.
