That's true. But I'll at least give the guy credit, at the end of the video loaders are punished by being forced to stay next to the cannon when it fires, yet the officer does it without a hint of fear or injury. Unnecessary and dangerously pointless as he is, he's got balls for standing in that blast radius at the very least.

His lack of expression, stiff robotic movement and adherence to ceremony likely conveys a sense of bureaucracy burden, along with a 'useful idiot' vibe, for me at least. To me, he's the uber patriot locked into the motions no matter how useless or unnecessary, and to the system that elevated him to that position, he's expendable and just an overdressed tool.

@@DocHellfish people **wish** they would **stop** doing things...

Eh, personally I'd say it feels more steampunk, but I guess it depends on whether you'd consider the WW1 aesthetic to be steampunk or dieselpunk. Personally, I think dieselpunk would be based more on the 30's or 40's, while this has more of a late 1910's aesthetic.

​@lolmeme69_ I think the core aesthetics of whatever "punk" is the feeling of alternate history that advanced far more than the technology they have, and somehow, they achieved advanced techs with their limited assets. So that a supercomputer made of supermassive differential engines is steampunk, and by extension, overcomplicated and overwhelming usage of gears without proper transmissions, chains, or other advanced power transfer mechanisms is also steampunk; it suggests they hadn't developed more powerful combustion engines which need such mechanisms. By my perspective, this is not steampunk since they obviously have petroleum tech. This can be dieselpunk tho, since they have no better techs than early 20th century petroleum tech, but somehow made such colossal thing without any magical advanced techs.

@@HOSAS_Gaming That's not just true, I'm pretty sure that's the textbook definition of the "punk" aesthetic. I'd still consider it steampunk, as it has the hallmarks of steampunk technology and primarily use Industrial Revolution style weaponry. You don't have the semiauto rifles and heavy bombers of the 40's, you have something more akin to WW1. Dieselpunk contains steam technology and even may have primitive computers, but that doesn't change it. Fallout may have computers but it's still atompunk, not cyberpunk. It's about what technology is most prominent, and back in WW1, despite having some early planes, it was still very steam-centric. I'm really not sure how this uses petroleum technology, this seems pretty steam-y to me. There's a certain brute brutality to steampunk machines compared to the more sleek look of dieselpunk, and that stereotype implies steam technology.

@@lolmeme69_trenchpunk? If that exists?

No, this is clearly artillery punk.

Probably why he is seemingly very well compensated.

I am sure there are alot of burns on site. Its mention in there they use steam pressure to move that thing around so you know its like a furnace in there.

Sailors weren't even allowed on deck when the Iowa's 16" cannon were fired due to risk of physical trauma, I can't imagine what this would do. That looks like maybe 2m bore given the people standing by the shells?

Always assumed the sickliness stemmed from gluttony. All the hard dangerous and dirty work done before he arrives, even to such a degree that they have to evacuate not ot be in his pressence when he makes a big deal of pulling the tiny string to fire. Which seems like an apt metaphor for army command. Get the medals, food and prestige on the back of the people working themselves sick for him.

Apparently there is small zone around a firering Canon where there is no sound at all, as reported from napoleon's time.

Oh, if you were there, you knew it was. Growing up with stuff animated like this makes you see right though all the cheap tricks and lack of skill and talent in A LOT of modern day productions. I'm not hating on newer stuff. There's a plenty of great works. But a lot of stuff these days is animated like garbage.

​@🗡️The Missing Link🗡️ To be fair, technology has evolved a fairly large amount since then. As a result, the skill ceiling has been vastly lowered, and I do find that a lot of anime do look the same. Then you have fucking Chainsaw Man, which is probably one of the best animated series since stuff along the lines of Spriggan, with that famous little unloading a handgun scene running around on Shorts.

@@OrificeHorus Well Chainsaw Man is certainly one of the examples, but there are many anime and non-anime series that lately have almost excellent qualities at least in the technical sector, One Piece himself after years and years of mediocrity (2005 to 2019), is now having certain episodes which are technically outstanding. Speaking of commercial productions, this spring season of anime has series like Heavenly Delusion and Oshi no Ko. Or in that last autumn season we had in addition to Chainsaw Man , two jewels like Mob Pscyho and Bocchi the Rock .

Honestly I don't agree with the second sentence, there are many animation works, especially niche ones, that are unique. Even speaking of more popular things, to say almost all the works of the 4°C studio are worthy, such as "Children of the sea". The point is that unlike in the past , now a lot more stuff comes out and many times the most mediocre stuff obscures the rest , and even the public itself sometimes doesn't like the most unique stuff , I won't forget the criticisms that there have been at the episode 6 ( if I'm not mistaken ) or another ep of season 3 of Mob Psycho , saying it was a "low budget" episode because the lines of the characters weren't clean or because sometimes you couldn't see the face etc...

I’d just like to say I 100% agree. Though there are works today that come close, nothing has really topped the technical prowess of late 80s and 90s 2D animation. It really was the peak. Akira, The Thief and the Cobbler, Evangelion, Cowboy Bebop, The Iron Giant. So many beautiful animated masterpieces You’d think computers would have made it easier for beautiful 2D animation to be created, but it seems like studios used computers to save money rather than push the medium further. Colors look so flat and plastic compared to watercolors on cel animation, though they seem to be slowly fixing that in anime like One Piece

I suspect it's based in Imperial Japanese Navy protocols. Or at least they do that exact same pattern of command and response in the films featuring them I've seen. Likely intentional. Or rather, they're evoking that sort of mien.

My job employs a lot of veterans and while it’s not necessarily high stress, I think they search for veterans not only to support veterans, but also because soldiers are very organized and do their jobs well.

It's the same ancient ai autigenerated tech used to create stuff today just without the filter I bet. Same as black an white films an photos. Ai today is showing 2 things : ai isn't allowed to exist. But it's artifical ignorance replacement can recreate earth in a second.

Every fine single detail was drawn in the building and on the people

The style for the characters looks like Dr Seuss but with a bleak and grim setting instead.

The whole Memories compilation, and Neo-Tokyo, and Daicon-IV

From what I remember of this movie, the gunner is ceremonial and dies every time the cannon is fired. It's never the same guy firing it. It's why all the workers leave the operating area every time the cannon is fired. I seem to remember a scene where they are cleaning up the pieces of the last guy's body.

I felt like they tried their best. I noticed a short cut was taken with closing the breach.

This is the first thing you see when you look up Redcon on wikipedia: Redcon - Strike Commander (styled as REDCON) is a 2016 real-time strategy video game developed by Hexage. It is inspired by the Japanese anime film Memories - Episode 3 : "CANNON FODDER"

This is literally what inspired redcon. It even refrence this very gun in the animation

Fun fact: 1750mm is the same as 1,75m!

Except the dude firing the cannon right next to the damn thing would probably instantly die due to the collosal shockwave such guns generate.

@@necrosteel5013 That's why he's protected with a thick layer of shock absorbing blubber. Obviously the result of some form of multi-generational selective breeding system.

Песня ни о чём жалко

@@gnom8668 в этой песне любой здравомыслящий человек поймёт смысл

Lmao.

That probably has more to do with the shortness of the barrel meaning you're closer to the muzzle and thus closer to the blast. With this long barreled gun it's not as bad so long as you don't stand near the muzzle. There's several ww2 footage videos showing sailors standing on deck or at the railings of battleships as the guns were firing over the side and being fine. If the guns were to be fired over the deck and they were standing underneath the muzzle they'd be killed guarenteed. You can even see this with normal 105/122mm howitzers of the us, if you're behind them its fine but if you were right underneath the muzzle the blast would kill you or at least very much harm you

I thought it was a different officer each time...a "sacrificial" role. The stoic ceremonial motion, full regalia, the only one on the cannon floor, walking past the condemned, etc. showed that it was his "last action" in service to the "war." They look similar, but so do the countless workers.

you can look for the 220mm( i think, maybe little bit bigger) arty made by the soviet and still use nowday( both russian and ukrainian use them in the war) its has a long barrel so its fine

But it as nothing to do with W40K 😂 Even if I totally understand where you come, for said that 😉

I was thinking more WW2 but I can see how WW1 tech can be seen

The gasmasks are because the gunpowder they use in the lore of this video is extremely toxic. In the setting, they show people protesting, demanding the government use non-toxic gunpowder. It's meant to be a tribute to how dangerous the job is of the man who fires the gun is, and why that man is shaking so much as he's next to the gun as it fires. The entire point of this is that his child wants to be the next person who fires the gun, thus dooming himself to poisoning.

3:50 is done by animating different 'layers', in the physical sense. By shifting them over top of eachother (and possibly by angling the capture camera towards the left over the duration) you get that 3D looking turning motion on the visuals.

Yeah it looks like they didn't draw each frame of the canon at 3:50 but slightly deformed the whole canon and moved its parts on separate layers to give a 3D feel (like in 2D rigging animation). But knowing it was made in 1995, I am not sure there were a lot of software already able to do this.

@@Heide_Knight I doubt this is done with any computer use; This has all the hallmarks of classic animation. It's essentially literal physical layers of plastic with partial drawings on them. It was widely used by Disney since the 30s(?). If you search for it on YT you'll find some fantastic videos on it, and how the techique got more intricate and complex with the movies' progressing.

@@Heide_KnightWas probably as simple as just pushing/moving the celluloid layers frame by frame

@@aniquinstark4347 Its an old anime trilogy the whole release of Memories. This is the last story of all three, althought they are not connected.

I watched it about 5 years ago so i dont remember everything.

The enemy nukes the city in the end

The end of the Movie kind of led me to believe that this was an allegory for Civilian life in WW2 Imperial Japan. Told the Enemy was near defeat, never seeing the enemy- Then *SPOILER* Nuked at the end.

Given the way most of these short videos are themed, that is really likely.

That was my assumption. They've been 'at war' for so many generations, none remember who they fight, if they still live, or anything other than make shells, load shells, fire shells, live another day, repeat. They are cogs in a perpetual war machine that exists to keep existing. None question why things are the way they are, or why they do what they do. They make the shells, load the shells, fire the shells and get to live another day, for the glory of the State. That was my impression anyway.

Maybe it is the only time a commadant of such rank is there to fire the great cannon (special occasion?). The workers on the other hand have to work there every day. It is for their saftey over time that they evacuate the hangar. Alteast that is what i think. In any case, the films are ment to show off the animators artistical prowess, more then story. The stories are there for the visuels.

I think it's one of those things that you decide for yourself. Ultimately, these works are meant to be interpreted. If the authors wanted to communicate a precise idea, they would've picked different methods.

The anime industry’s quality has been declining for 15 years now (probably longer, but the peak was certainly the mid 90s). Sad that they’ve focused more and more on fanservice instead of purposeful art

Who cares dude, like what you like

The purpose is different, throught is the same type of art. Otomo is a more reflexive art, it's what we call (with some arrogance, is true) "high culture", it's art with a social purpose. Demon Slayer, Spy x Family and similars are entertainment, it's still art, but it's other purpose and it's not realistic to expect they have the same spread. It's like to expect that Tchaikovsky is more listened than Lady Gaga or Kubrick is more watched than Scary Movie series. And no, you are not better than anyone for consuming "high culture", you're just consuming a different kind of art.
