I know that most anime is still penciled out by by hand before being scanned and colored on computers, but didn't phrase it that well when I meant the entire process was done without the aid of a computer, so it should be "traditional" or "pre-digital" rather than "hand-drawn." I didn't know that about Arpeggio of Blue Steel or Knights of Sidonia, though, and do find that aspect of their production interesting, even though I'm curmudgeonly and don't want anime to be completely CG-ed.Katherine Hansonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00209832803059188448noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1970063565985184238.post-27152536722324545642014-03-17T05:15:19.789-07:002014-03-17T05:15:19.789-07:00Great retro-review!

I really need to sit down and watch more of this series.<br /><br />"The fact that this series was animated in the days of hand-drawn animation"<br /><br />Just a minor complaint--most anime these days is *still* mostly hand-drawn, in pencils, the same way as the pre-digital era. The only difference is that anime before 1999 mostly used painted cels for the final coloring of the cleaned-up pencils (which were photocopied onto the acetate cels). These days, instead of photocopying pencils onto clear cels for painting, we now scan them and they are colored by the colorists on a computer in a manner not dissimilar to painting, but more forgiving for human error (undo button!) and without the required drying time. <br /><br />So the process overall has not changed that much, although there is an increasing use of CG modelwork in anime (sometimes retraced to hide the fact when more front and center, but frequently relied on more for inanimate objects like machines and musical instruments, and for background crowds and such) that will likely continue until it can replace the hand-drawn character work outright in a mostly convincing manner, as it has in stuff like Arpeggio of Blue Steel and the upcoming Knights of Sidonia. Only time will tell if fans will call foul on this or not. <br /><br />But for now CG anime is the exception to the rule...most character art is still "hand-drawn". If anything, the advent of HDTV has pushed for less skimping on character linework detail, and the digital coloring has allowed for the exploration of color palettes and gradients not very plausible in painted cel work.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
