I know the guy that made the book! He's my mom's friend and met him in NYC when he did a gallery show for the book. I got a copy at home there is a two pages spread of the Fortnite bus pretty much
wasnt expecting to hear that hahahah fortnite is not in the movie ahhah
@@Stevem yeah my mom is well connected in the Japanese world in NYC, I will take a photo of the bus and post it somewhere
it's genuinely a beautiful painting and to see it in person was such an honor
@@SanoKei respect the craft haha
4C month has been pretty damn interesting and the studio went in unexpected places
berserk golden age trilogy left then the anthology
I think I myself has find myself overcoming to liking 3D animation, but I think the notion of trying to cling on to 2d aesthetics for the characters I feel like having it being 3D animated is almost unneeded
I've got a children book on this one. A must buy, Especially if you are into a very gorgeous beautiful book to kept in your collection.
Imma be honest, this CGI looks easily better than most anime looks like nowadays
well most anime are 2D TV shows and this is a movie level production so the point is null really, for a movie level production its not blowing me away
@@Stevem uhh most anime includes anime movies though so my point absolutely stands. As you weren't blown away by it's movie production, I was blown away by how much better it looks than most anime out nowadays. Take the final Gintama movie for instance. Very good animation but also pretty underwhelming with it's presentation.
@@swiggydswirl330the majority of anime are tv productions, theatrical original movies are like 10-20% of what comes out a year. "most anime" is a nebulous term, but in terms of production id split them. Believe me if you saw the whole movie i cant say youd be as impressed, but that depends what is "better" too the art direction, colours, the animation etc
I dont watch gintama movies but i really see how they're representation of anime movies as a whole, biggest movies this year are like hathaway and eva 4.0
@@Stevem animation is animation, I don't know why lumping in anime movies with "most anime" is vague since it is still well into the umbrella term of "anime" and makes up for a lot of popularity when compared to many tv anime shows but I digress. Considering that, it still looks far more impressive than most anime out nowadays (imo)
Hi Stevem! I am an independent creator of Animation content from Brazil, and i adore your videos!
Its so great to see a UA-cam channel, that have such a great care about the art of Animation, covering great productions of worldwide! You inspire me so much!
I love the artstyle of Poupelle! I have the chance to watch this Movie in a Japanese Film Festival last year.
The production design is wonderful
(Sorry with my english, i dont speak fluent)
I cant wait to see Lady Nikuko too!
Caraca Retrospecto, vc ainda continua fazendo conteúdo? que massa te ver por aqui
@@Reinaldoshots fiquei um tempo parado, mas tô na ativa haha obrigado pelo comentário!
Reminds me of the works of game developer Level-5. It really looks like video game 3D models from places like Dragon Quest 11 and Fire Emblem 3 Houses.
Couldn't agree more
I was not aware that 4c made another movie after children of the sea, I always assumed it nearly bankrupted them like redline and they were taking a break. Speaking of that though, I once read somewhere that a bunch of people weren't paid, but then after the lawsuit, they were. Both their full salary, and over 2.8 million yen in overtime. I can't seem to find that info anymore though, so I don't know if it was true. Cg anime is blossoming though, and thankfully it appears to want to share the world with 2d. Land of the Lustrous, dorohedoro, tron uprising, and lupin III: the first are all incredible, some even being my favorites. Good cg anime doesn't happen often though I'm afraid.
theyve made two movies since, Redline didnt bankrupt anyone this is not true see my video on it, also we literally covered the lawsuit in yesterdays video see sources for the article in question on the children of the sea video
@@Stevem so a poor choice of words on my part, I should've said "lost significant money" instead. I actually had already watched the video, its where I learned once and for all that Koike wasn't fired or blacklisted. But I was saying that redline likely lead to the ntv buyout, as well as Maruyama leaving. But I just found out where I learned the lawsuit information, it was on Children of the seas Wikipedia page. However, it is not there anymore. This leads me to believe that it likely wasn't true, and the article in question is correct. Either way, 4c still withheld payment.
Have you watched those 4 cg anime though?
@@stheteller7470 lost significant money is also not easy to prove, the only thing proven was that madhouse had a poor quarter in 2010 while producing more stuff then they ever had before, the real cost of redline has never been disclosed but an inside source told me it was less than youd think, redlines producer writer has also said the project was a cult hit a decade later, maruyama states he left because of the size of the company and he left two years after the film was finished. The articles in question were reported by ANN on the childrens of the sea's abuses.
i know the 4 but i cant say i sat down and watched them in full im a busy man lol
@@Stevem Yes, the Ann articles were the ones I was speaking of being correct. Unfortunately, my likely false information from Wikipedia can't be proved to have been there because wayback machine isn't as good as people have told me. If I remember correctly, I believe someone said that redline was around 22 million. So still no Princess kaguya levels of expensive. Those 4 anime though, I highly recommend each of them. Land of the Lustrous and Dorohedoro in particular I think are legitimate masterpieces.
@@stheteller7470 nopeeee redline did not cost that much theres no cited source for the official cost, ive removed uncited budgets from its wiki page before, 22 million would make it almost as expensive as steamboy which at time was one of the most expensive anime movies ever made, madhouse were infamous for keeping costs down because they had very talented salary staff to rely on and while redline was in production for 7 years only three were actually staffed with animators (inhouse)
Nice job! This anime is difficult to critique straight forward since the artist is a Japanese comedian who draw the book and asked Studio 4°C to make anime. It is not clear who was responsible for what aspect of anime...
CG looks good on this one I may watch it
As always, a thoughtful analysis.
Have you watched this Fall's short series from Naoko Yamada, Heike Monogatari? I know TV anime isn't usually your focus, but I think you'd find a lot to love in it. It's also interesting because it's a historical work (similar to Tale of Genji) that Isao Takahata wanted to adapt himself for decades.
i don't watch airing shows i have no time lol
@@Stevem Me Neither.
When a 2D animate studio goes 3D.
Thanks again for covering this.
3D (Anime) animation is fine for kids animation, but for anyone over that age it's just too much uncanny valley. There's just no subtlety.
Amazing job doing so much work over the Xmas break, your work is really appreciated 👍
EDITED : I'm referring to cheap 3D use in Anime.
I think I have to disagree my friend, even in western animation studios like spider verse and even soul it has resonated so much with adults as well, I worked in Netflix and Dreamworks and let me tell u , ur gonna love 3D. Trust me we are catching on for more mature stories
Also Gantz: O looks pretty good, final fantasy 7 advent children still holds up visual wise even if it’s not really an anime
nothing wrong with 3d animation when done right, im not really a fan of these projects where 3d pretends to be 2d anime, seems like kneecapping the design work
@@mree.9794 I should have mentioned I was specifically referring to its use in Anime.
@@edwardfletcher7790 trust me, even in 3D animated films in Japan they’re out there
the 3D in Dorohedoro blows me away
Unrelated to the video topic specifically, but with all this talk of 3d animation in anime I would really like to hear your perspective on Kengan Ashura as it's a show I've enjoyed watching quite a bit. I feel that its usage of 3d really serves to elevate the show and adds a level of dynamism and intensity to the fight scenes that would be very difficult for traditional animation to achieve without the likes of Masaaki Yuasa.
havent seen it im afraid
I wish I could watch this movie. Can’t find it anywhere
Hi new here, can you explain more about/give us a short introduction about Studio 4C, I've know nothing about the studio so the topic kind of alien to me, or maybe you've already made a video about it?
ive been working on a whole series this month as stated at the end of the video theres a playlist here - ua-cam.com/play/PLyhSewr7iiMSlXYKBEH1o7kXHwGSElNnb.html
The gantz 3d movie was the best 3d anime for me
Where did you watch it? Can't find any subtitled versions anywhere
high seas
I hope 3D anime becomes better. I can't wait.
Really recomend any work done by studio Orange, they really are one of the best 3d studios not only in Japan but in the world
💥👹3D BAD, 2D GOOD🎃💥
2d is timeless
A good alternative title would be : when 4C goes 3D
i dont stake 4c's name having that good of a draw for people who dont know who they are
I think this is the only 4°C movie I din't watched. Didn't even knew it was so recent. When I saw some imgaes of it I tought it was a older movie from them.
Where you watched Utopa? I can't find it
This is coming to my theater in a week , I was wondering if I should go this is disheartening
meh i wouldn't personally recommend seeing this over some other movie really
😎
The likes have reached 696 shall we reach for 6969?
never heard of this one
Yeah first time i am hearing of this one too, must be from the last 2 years or so.
While the backgrounds and setting are really well done, I just dont find CGI anime characters all that compelling. Now the work on Netflix's Arcane was amazing and set a new bar for CGI characters with a hand drawn look.
Check out Klaus on Netflix too
@@JTR_3 Klaus is actually Hand Drawn animation... Not really CGI
I think Arcane’s characters work because they aren’t trying to be as animated as 2D characters usual are. They’re going for more of a “living painting” look.
@@MalakaiXed the lighting engine is cgi its an interesting mix because it using several layers of post processing including auto masking , texture filters and then a 3d lighting system
For anime Studio Orange really sold me with Houseki no Kuni and Beastars, and while It's a game, the last 2 Guilty Gear show what a 3d model with 2d aestheric can achieve.
If you haven't checked them out i really recomend all, even more Guilty Gear Strive that looks gorgeous and while yes, a lor of the budget went in the models and battle animation (where It should Go as a fighting game) the story mode is quite cool.
Personally I think they should stick to 2D animation I don't know why but CGI anime always look so bad
im not a fan of it either, but it is a cheaper way of doing animation unfortunately
@@Zeroantagonist88 not really cheaper money-wise, but definitely takes less time once the models are done.
jonathan It’s only cheap when a studio doesn’t put enough work into it. Lupin III: the First is a good example of an excellent CGI anime. Other studios just aren’t willing to put in that much effort, or they just don’t understand how to animate CGI very well.
@@DABUNGINATOR Still doesn't look as good as Ninja Scroll. Hand-drawn 2D is *muah.*
@@DABUNGINATOR i disagree.. i think objectivly, it does look good.. its different style than lupin
