Experimental stuff like this can be fun but when the novelty wears off, well, who remembers Blue Submarine #6?  Still, someone has to be first.

I remember Blue Sub 6. Whether its CG is seen as a milestone or the first example of GONZO being shit at it, that soundtrack is fire.

Netflix.

Why do they have to aim to be first??

I thought humans couldn't even really see in 4K.  It's just a BS gimmick to sell more expensive crap.

Again.  Needless push in technology.  If humans cannot see it, why even do it?  It's like some videos being rendered in 120 frames per second now!

It's not about "seeing in 4K," it's about the pixel density of the device you're looking at. A huge 80-inch TV viewed from a few feet away is absolutely noticeable, but the same can't be said for a dinky little 5-inch phone screen.

Well we have a name and a making of feature...in Japanese.

Behold, Sol Levante.  The first 4K hand draw anime.

This is a con.

It exists, it isn’t giving the money to talentless clods for CalArts stuff, and it has a set release date.  How is it a con?

[Guest Alien_Nation]

Levante?

Like, the Muslims?

Pass.

We get it bucket, you are scared of brown people.

Where the fuck does Calarts factor into any of this?

Con usually means “money went towards something it wasn’t supposed to” (Crunchyroll’s eternal black eye High Guardian Spice) or “promising something not delivered”.  Neither happened here.

Yes I did.  He called it a con and I bought up that none of the usual reasons for calling it that applied here.

...which obviously means streaming is an absolutely relevant medium to try it out on. 🙄

Streaming may have gotten much better, but it still can't hold a candle to cable/satellite just yet.

I asked why Calarts has anything to do with this.

[PokeNirvash]

It's a meme, Elfie, let's leave it at that.

[The1gairon]

Well it's a disrespectful meme because Calarts has been hit with years of harassment over a "house style" that doesn't exist.

[PokeNirvash]

So all those bean mouths are just coincidence then?

See this is why I hate that meme. It's bullshit. There is NO Calarts style, it became popular to say because some dumbfuck of a pedo Nicktoon creator was bent out of shape and he was famous at the time. Look at that. Steven Universe is part of that image and Rebecca Sugar never even WENT to Calarts!! Neither did the creators of Gumball, they went to school in an entirely different country! Plus, don't a ton of acclaimed Disney feature animation directors go to Calarts!!? Would you say that's the same kind of animation too!?

Sometimes I feel like I need to remind people that I have a background in fine arts and animation.

ITT we remind people that nearly all anime characters have big eyes because Mickey Mouse had big eyes.

Holy shit.

Can't un-see.

I'm a huge fan of hand drawn anime.  I hope it's good.
