It's a pity that animated anthologies never took off in America, because Fantasia was one of the greatest pieces of work ever made. Yet after the 40s they were rarely ever seen.
makes it even worse when Cartoon Network/HBO Max canceled Infinity Train, it had so much potential and hype around it and isn't like any other tv series that's airing right now.
Glad to see some Fantasia love going around
Didn't adult swim have a bunch of stuff like that? the shivering truth for example
Yes, I was just wondering why they don't do the same thing for children's and adult shows (like there's Love, Death, and Robots plus the Animatrix, maybe Billy and Mandy's Wishbones episode and Adventure Time's "Grables," but those are the only ones I can think of). I do wonder how animation history would've changed if not for the Second World War and Fantasia's financial flop.
Love Death And Robots ?
I really enjoy Pokemon's Anthologies. They aren't perfect but it's cool to see classic scenes re-done in both Generations and Evolutions.
Pokemon twilight wings was great OVA that was like anthology
twilight wings and poketoons are much better and have unique stories compared to copy pasted plots of generations/evolutions
@@anonymousracoon they're from the Pokemon games
"They're not waiting for second seasons or plot twists, they just exist." Right on, they're easier to digest and more self-contained than the typical long-running anime and binge-watchable show, which is why I generally prefer watching anthology movies.
What I really like about the pokemon anthologies is how they’re essentially a highlight reel of the games. They can shed the limitations of handheld games and the strict rules of rpgs to breath new life into these moments. They’re truly there for the fans of the series
Indeed. Anthologies = top tier creative freedom + top tier production 🤩
I've only seen the Evangelion stuff from Japan Animator Expo, but even just those showcase the strengths of the anthology format really well. Another Impact, Until you come to me and Neon Genesis Impacts are all such different and interesting takes on Eva that just wouldn't have been made if it wasn't for the JAE project. Khara should do more anthology projects in the future because they if anyone have the money and connections to accomplish it.
As someone recently intrigued by anthologies and one-off OVAs, this video couldn't be better timed!
I think there was a missed opportunity to highlight the Poketoons in the Pokemon Anthologies section because while I do love Generations and Evolutions (and Twilight Wings but I don't believe that counts unless you squint and bend the ruler), they are, at the end of the the day, stuck to game-adjacent stories. Which of course isn't a problem, just the fact of the matter.
The 'toons are (were?) able to tackle more original ideas (both story content and animation wise) while still relating to the established universe. Most if not all also double as a homage to certain animation styles and/or genres, and all while being the "for the kiddies" animation showcase alternative.
Other than that, yeah I'm really coming around to anthologies. I love series for how much I can sink my teeth into them but original anime especially suffer from "we need a season 2/spin-off to complete it" (with exceptions) which can kill something in its home stretch. I wish their was a way for more open-ended anthology seires but as long as brands give them the freedom to actually tell their stories, we could be a lot worst off. Here's hoping to many more.
Robot Carnival will always be the best!
I wish there were more shows in seasonal anthology form like Jojo’s Bizarre Adventure where every part focuses on different characters and drastically different story telling forms but still have an overarching thread.
I'm surprised You didn't mention "Aoi Bungaku" series.
Magnetic Rose is an amazing anthology movie.
As someone aspiring to adapt her short story anthology into a short film anthology, this is a holy guide. Thank you for putting respect on anthologies!!
And oh shit is that THE Thomas Romain supporting you?? His work is sick as all hell
The title should've been "Anthologies are best in animated format".
glad you mentioned flipflappers
Kind of surprised you didn't mention Japan Animator Expo. Talk about an explosion of creative talent.
True! There was just so many anthology series that I wanted to cover that I knew there'd be at least one that slipped my mind.
On the credits part, i've worked remotley for nearly a decade on Disney productions, this Year was the very first time I was credited! and the irony of being credite on the only production where I did next to no Animation! (mostly worked as a TD but was credited as a Shot prep Lead!?!!)
Nah, I really like anthologies but saying that they are better than continues story isn't right. They are just different with their own strengths and weaknesses. But yeah would be cool if there were more anthologies. My biggest problem with Visions, that most episodes wasn't thought out to exist in the universe. And were just stylized in star wars esthetic
Because its non-canon.
The title should've been "Anthologies are best in animated format".
Word
I cant believe you didnt mention Hideki Anno's Animator Expo at all.
Memories was my first one I got that one in VHS back in the day
Rinshi!! Ekodachan is another interesting anthology. It aired with interviews with the directors and seiyuu about how they approached their interpretation, and it's based on manga.
I might check out some of these anthologies
Babe wake up, new Canipa effect video
This is amazing
Twilight Q was one that always struck me, that second episode Mystery Article File 538, threw me through a completely mental loop. Both narratively and visually, I couldn't even explain it to someone tbh.
The production value is eye popping
Please do a Visions only one or the studio maybe? Also is doing one for Marvel's What If an option from an animation standpoint?
The entire time I was watching this I was thinking about making a comment that 18if was a perfect example of the power of anthology because episode 7 was so brilliant despite the series overall cruminess. But since Canipa mentioned it anyway, here's something different: Monday after I watched it my boss at the time asked what I did over the weekend and I said "I watched a cartoon about the Cambodian genocide" and without missing a beat he did a "what the fuck" face and replied "ah to be a young lieutenant without kids"
Why do I have the feeling that if Disney DOES develop a series based on one of the shorts, Canipa will make a follow-up directly from his point about how these shorts are (meant to be) ephemeral?
I think the good thing about LWA and Death Parade is that they ended up still retaining some of their DNA as anthologies by having plenty of independent stories. Not sure there's any that would fit that structure in Visions.
Hi.I subscribed to your channel.Canipa,how do you feel about Star Wars Visions?
Amazing
Something I really appreciated about Visions was the decision to release all episodes at once, as opposed to Disney+'s usual practice of releasing episodes weekly. I understand that public opinion has turned in favor of the weekly release model recently, but I felt like with Visions, the full season drop allowed a viewer to watch the shorts at their own pace, not for water cooler discussion, but to simply appreciate the artistry on display.
specially after every single disney+ (with the exception of mando and wandavision) feel more like extended films than actual tv shows
After Halo Legends, Star Wars Visions made sense to me with how to handle a universe. I have yet to see it but still great it exists for many reasons.
Otherwise many manga anthologies have also been good even for the trashiest of series I've enjoyed the directions each have between each creator.
Always good to have experimentation besides the standard format and being open minded. Some sure are going to be a mess up if visually amazing (using different techniques and technology) or getting other points across I think they do what they set out to do but it's on the audience if they miss the point.
No Pokemon Toons reference, but awesome video.
Can you make a video taking about love death and robot
Can you talk about Kaitou Joker animation?
Where did you get your uncompressed video files for the show? Your clips from Episode 8 look cleaner than Disney+'s own video player, and looking around I can't find anything that looks as clean
I find that they're not a mixed bag, and that as a whole they're far above TV anime. And I also mostly think that comes down to respect for your time. Most anime do not have enough content to fill the time they have, and are doing their damndest to pad it out. With anthologies you see creators struggling to be time efficient. Not that you don't also get amazing visuals regularly, and a lot more animation instead of the stock pan and zoom nonsense.
TV anime is made to make money, that's why they're usually worse.
Well, now I've got to go listen to FLIP FLAP FLIP FLAP again
Wait, Space Dandy is an anthology? How? I thought the ending of it explains every episode being cannon
I refer to both it and 18if as "pseudo-anthologies". It does have an overarching story, but it's still open to having different creators make each episode their own.
@@TheCanipaEffect Fair enough, but I'm surprised you didn't mention Love Death + Robots
I was trying to focus on anime only. Love Death and Robots doesn't have any Japanese studios.
@@TheCanipaEffect Would you consider FLCL to be an anthology?
7 years man
hello nice video
Rumiko Takahashi's "Rumic Theater" Anthology. It's completely unlike every other of her major series. Just everyday normal situations, but some of the voice actors in her shows are in it just to do something different.
do a video about arcane plz, it has super unique and interesting visuals even if its not anime
i feel like movies and ovas (now onas) are better at it, but, we definately need more anthologies
Nice
I feel like I saw a different star wars visions series
Cool
Bro, please just write a list of good/interesting anime anthologies to watch!
YTV should work with the Anime studios.
Huh, interesting.
I know Pokemon Evolutions and Generations was mentioned, but I think Poketoons deserves a mention as well. Poketoons I believe is only found on the Pokémon Kids TV Japan UA-cam channel but oddly enough they have English subs in the each episode. While geared towards children I honestly favor the approach taken by Poketoons more than Evolutions and Generations even as a Pokemon fan. The stories are only limited by the fact they exist in the Pokemon world as opposed to being an adaptation of a pre-existing story.
What are those timestamps?
The soundtrack being played
@@TheCanipaEffect Ohh! Good to know.
I always ramble how Pokemon Journeys (and the entire main Pokemon series) has become repetitive and tiring all of these years after watching Twilight Wings and Hisuian Snow.
I cannot blame the latter two for doing that. It’s just the nature of anthologies that really grabs my attention. They are short yet enough to fit in a story that the writers wanted to tell. They also turn out to be more immersive and engaging than the two-decade-old series. Also, they are more beautifully animated considering how animators have more creative freedom and flexibility than those working in a long-running series.
There is not a single anime anthology that's as good as the original 1981 Heavy Metal movie
What happened to Shuhei Morita?
He was actually back working at YamatoWorks but his film got scrapped.
@@TheCanipaEffect That's honestly a shame tbh
Do You Know What I’m A Fan Of, Disney And Animé (Like Animé In Disney) Fan!
I really like poketunes so far (The newest Pokemon Anthology) So far doesn't follow the plot of the pokemon games and are just set in the world
hey bro i love your videos... i wish that u ignore all reviews and watch scum;s wish with a mature mindset and make a video on it if u are able to understand and appreciate its beauty
highly ignorant of you to not appreciate the works Canipa has done and show for his fellow viewers
@@polrusstomakriss9001 when did i ignore that.. he is fav ytbr afterall

*Best AS Anthology
The title uses the adjective form
Pokémon And Marvel “Why Not That?” Because Their Disney Power!
I'm still unsure what anthology means.. Translated it to my native language only to find out it's basically the same word :')
Basically: A collection of short stories or short films, often by different writers/creators.
@@TheCanipaEffect thank you! I kinda picked it up throughout the video but I still couldn't put it into actual words
If only writing portion of those shows got 10% of the staff's attention the animation does
The point of the video is about anthologies allowing animators to flex their imagination. Animators doesn't equal writers.
There's a whole lot more visual story telling, which is the often ignored point of the medium.
And US companies are finally admitting that all of the animation innovation is basically in Japan, where they don't just redlight everything that isn't a sequel.
Sorry but sound euphonium isnt an anthology so that cant be true
I mean they're good and all, but nobody is saying "that anime had a great story"...when talking about star wars visions of the animatrix. I still think story is what makes anime good, but the animation has to be able to bring out the best in the story and so does the music & voice acting
I strongly disagree. World Record and Beyond are both brilliant stories from the Animatrix and I'd say the same about Lop and Ocho, The Village Bride, and T0-B1 from Star Wars Visions. Just because they're short stories doesn't mean they're not great.
@@TheCanipaEffect then we have different definition of what a great story is, must have good story writing which includes character development and I know that animatrix doesn't have this character development in it therefor it's not a good story to me. Short stories don't really count as good stories in my opinion because it's literally impossible to cover everything a good story requires in a short period of time.
IMO one of the best anthology series isnt animated, the Twilight Zone
Pokémon Is Disney Not Warner Bros Or Whatever And Don’t Lie To Falsley Incorrect Me To Me I Just Love As Pokémon As Disney In My Opinion And My Life And My Desire
whats an anthology
Mythology for ants
a subject in the same realm curated with different artist or other creators to develop their side of the story in their point of view rather more so how we see different animators from twitter on their breakdowns of it like for example a collage of different animators
whats an google
Star wars visions is an example of one. It's a compilation of short stories
A collection of short stories.
I'm surprised you never mentioned Halo Legends
I did.
@@TheCanipaEffect Ah, my mistake. Apologies
I doubt that you think the best animes are anthologies, but tell me if I'm wrong. It is kind of a click-baity title. Why not title it as unique (not best) or something closer to the actual message of the video?
The message of the video is that anime is at its most creative and often has the best production environment when part of an anthology. For me, that means that anime is at its best as an artform.
I Don’t Want To Hear Pokémon And I Don’t Want To Say This Because Pokémon Is Disney, DC Together Because That’s Not Good It’s Bad To Me
POKÉMON And DC Are NOT Same NO No No NO! not The Real Me, The Real Me Is Pokémon As A Disney Power And Animacron Legend
I don't think the overall package of anime is best, but animation wise? Yeah, because studios can focus on 1-2 short form scenarios.
However, there's studios, like Science SARU and MAPPA, that can do a long-form story with great animation.
So Anthologies are the 3D Printers of anime? They allow for rapid prototyping.
I am disappointed by Star Wars Visions. It doesn't matter how cool the animation or action scenes look if it's not grounded in its story, which seems to be Star War's weakness in its Disney era universe
Pssst... Come here, away from the rest... Are we alone? OK. There is something important that you need to know:
The main story of Star Wars has never been really great to begin with. The *lore* of the expanded universe is often great, yes, but Star Wars started as a mix between samurai movies and WW2 films, with the "hero's journey" narrative on top to make it easy to understand. Later movies have had their ups and (extreme) downs in terms of story, but what the franchise consistently excels at is in its general aesthetics and visual effects (after all, few things are more visually striking than a duel in an environment where the light comes from the weapons themselves). The sooner you realize that, the sooner you'll understand why allowing animators to express themselves in that universe is such a great idea.
Oh... Do not worry. Everyone makes mistakes. Let's go back with the others and have a good time enjoying Star Wars for what it is.
@@SystemBD I don't mind if they do their own story, separate from any relation to the main franchise. The issue with the Disney universe Star Wars is that it does not ground its characters. The villains have no justification for their actions, making their characters have no relation to their viewers, and the same can be said with the protagonists. It's pretty much black and white, pure evil vs pure good, but most of our actions and our lives act in the grey. Story comes from the push and pull of moral dilemma and the effects of the choice, and the stories in this anthology offers little of that.
@@Sexynes I'm pretty sure Emperor Palpatin main reason to be evil was because he's the villain.
Star wars vision sucks
