There's a good reason why a lot of art teachers discourage students from drawing _just_ anime art, though.

EdgerOG Sure, it's mainly corporatism and xenophobia.
@OGEdger5 жыл бұрын
Soft Boiled It's quite the opposite, though. Art teachers want their students to learn many _different_ artistic styles from around the world. They want students to understand the basics of art before they start distorting it. You know what they say: _You gotta learn the rules before you can break them._
@SoftBoiledArt5 жыл бұрын
EdgerOG You never see teachers correcting someone when they draw American cartoon though, which is ridiculous if they're supposed to teach "realism first". "Rules" can change too, you'd be wrong thinking that American school method is used in China or Russia. And last but not least, it is absurd to teach one very specific school of realism for 4 years to people who is into this because they wanted to draw Kenshin/Naruto or whatever in the first place, and it's something that's managing to make thousands of students quit on a regular basis. It's specially ridiculous when manga schools in Japan start drawing manga and as you can see students are fine.

To be fair some of the animators come up as arrogant. Surely they were young, but getting upset because the director changed your scene is pretty egoistical, specially since the whole project revolves around youngsters LEARNING. It's funny, in retrospect, how Ursula VA was the one motivating them on the auditions. They are all a bunch of Akko's are not? Trust Chariot to cheer them up.
@sakumintsu4 жыл бұрын
Sans Nom I don’t think they were upset about the changes, but more upset by the fact that they messed up. None of the animators really felt arrogant to me while they were working and they all seemed to look up to Yoshinari and accepted the fact that they had mistakes and revised their original drawings based on Yoshinari’s advise and corrections.

The best part is at 51:53 when the narrator (voice actor of the cool teacher) gives the 5 young key animators a little speech on how she hopes they continue on with their lives. It's really beautiful to see these artist go through the ringer in this OVA. It really is a TOP example of how to do anime right. Watching this documentary, I bet these artists got the equivalent training of being key animators for 3 years on various shows from just 6 months on one 24 min special. Their work and perseverance led to this incredible fantasy to turn into a feature length OVA and a two season series afterwards. I imagine that anyone bothering to read this comment has already seen it all, but if you haven't, it's truly astounding how good the animation is in each evolution of this fantasy story. The series runs at about 90% of the quality of the first OVA, but even that is still at least double the quality of the average anime released in 2017, and that holds true through to today. That just speaks to how incredibly well animated and coloured this one OVA is. The second feature length OVA also seems to be at the same super high level of animation, but it's been a few years since I've seen it in its entirety. Full disclosure, I run a very small animation night once a month where I showcase a different work of animation and watch it together online with friends. We hang out a bit before and discuss the movie afterwards and it's fun. About 75% of the films I showcase are from Japan, but there are incredible works from Ireland, France, Spain, America and elsewhere that shine in the 25%. This is the first time I ever mention this community outside of my friend group, but respond here and hit me up if you want to enjoy the beauty of animation with us. I'm located in eastern Canada (location is important, because my friends from western Canada and the UK are +3 hours and -6 hours away respectively, haha). Dang, this documentary is cool. I'm watching it while doing research before I show the October, Halloween edition, of Animation Night. Cheers, friendos.

I want to be able to work like this. Many may see it as "depressing or miserable" which, that is a part of it. But they're doing what they love and that's why they keep going. I want to work on Japanese anime as well. Creatively fulfilling animation in general. My family advise me not to, but if there is a will, there's a way.

After watching this I also went to check out their other works and whether they stuck it out after this (and by extension whether this initiative worked in terms of helping the new talent get integrated into the industry) and if they participated in the following entries in the LWA franchise, and I was actually very pleasantly surprised on all counts! A few of them had a hand in making some of my favorite shows of all time too, even if it was only for like one or two episodes, which was really cool to see! This program was responsible for birthing not only LWA, but also Death Parade in this same year, and it appears to not be the only project that got turned into a full series after that, so it seems like it's generally a really good program in terms of creating interesting anime as well!
