Some of these, if your old enough, you might remember, and if your not, they might be good to check out just to see what this era was about. Some o...
Expand postSo many iconic cartoons, Daniel Husbands! I'd love to see a new "Flintstones" movie (animated or live-action).
I've been feeling very creative lately given the amount of content that is able to be generated with AI. I've used just a few turnarounds alongside some dramatic statements to create an "internet-rich" ;evel trailer. See how the plot thickens as each short phrase is paired with imagery.

Always a good sign when films like this get made. What do they have to lose by investing in animation right now especially if it has an anime hybrid style to it. The west's reaction to the more mature styles and themes had been shamefully slow.
Take for example Gobelins in France. They've been teac...

Take your time. These are videos that show, rather that tell the sorts of repeated standards and anomalies that I found in repeated use in anime.

Expand postThanks for posting. I love me some Anime fight scenes. Will check these all out later. Dying to do my own anime fight scene soon.
Fight scenes have their own style and flair, and it's always interesting to see how their going to turn out. Will have to check this out Terence Daniels
I hope you don't mind the mistakes and repeats in there. I was looking at a lot of footage but mostly the best from other bests. The terminology is one word meant to convey an overarching idea concern...
