Inspired and original settings

Animeby L_Flaine

Very few stories can craft a setting that leaves a memorable impression, in fantasy fiction creators tend to fall back on safe and familiar settings which to me is always a missed opportunity in a story. These are anime that go above and beyond to envision and breathe life into unique and inspired worlds. A significant artistic effort is put into the locations, technology, vehicles, clothing, props, and architecture of these anime and have been masterfully crafted to facilitate these stories.

Essential Sci-Fi Anime: Technological Utopias & Dystopias

Animeby MordredEX

In the dawn of the digital age, many creators have expressed their hopes and fears about technology and its influence on human society through science fiction anime, creating many interesting interepretations of what our future could be (or even what our present is) with regards to the ever accelerating integration of technology into our lives.

Some of these anime may explore technological revolution in a military or political context, some others in intimate personal dramas. Some are hard, realistic, grounded sci-fi with a lo of genuine scientific backing and others are bordering in fantasy. Some of these are true cyberpunk, and others are entirely opposed to it. Some of these works are pessimistic and fearful about tecnhology, whereas others present hopeful and idealistic possibilities, and some others simply present a grey future with as many advantages as disadvantages. But the main connecting aspect here is the exploration of sci-fi as a fundamental theme and the exploration of te philosophical, sociopolitical and/or psychological consequences of technology whether directly or indirectly, seriously or lightheartedly.

Common tropes & themes: artificial intelligence & meaning of being human, technological implants/bodily enhancements, virtual/augmented reality, social media & deep internet, space travel & space war, extreme capitalism and urbanism in the digital age, personal relationships between humans and androids, discrimination and opression between humans and androids, psychological/physical deterioration due to use of experimental technology

Notes:
- For Blame! read the manga instead
- For The Animatrix, watch The Matrix movies first
- For Blade Runner: Black Out 2022, watch the Blade Runner movies first

3DCG/CGI Analyses

Animeby EmiliaHoarfrost

An Interest Stack whose goal is to analyze the use of 3DCG in various anime, as well as to advocate for how it represents a technological riches for anime as a whole. Shows will include works that I feel can teach us all interesting things.
3DCG, short for three-dimensional computer graphics, is also known in animation as CGI, or computer-generated imagery. Since Japanese animation has throughout the history of the artform been associated with 2D limited animation, there is undeserved prejudice toward shows that primarily or conspicuously make use of 3DCG — something that anime studios themselves are aware of. French animator Benjamin Faure, working at MAPPA, worked on 3D Western animation before making it into the Japanese anime industry, where 3D skills are still helping him.
3DCG requires the use of modern softwares and computers for 3D modeling (done in the preproduction stage of the pipeline), rigging (like the facial rigging popularized by VTubers), 3D animation (which only comes after the rigging), renders (allowing for interesting camerawork or textures), shaders (relative to the lighting, like cel-shading, which reduces the photorealism for more simplicity)...
Because the computer crunches the numbers for animators, 3DCG allows for a more consistent anatomy, and assets only have to be modelized a single time. Going with a 3DCG style thus allows studios to dedicate less resources on key and in-between animations as well as on corrections and coloring, saving costs in the process.
An artistic advantage of going with 3DCG can be to use more ambitious camerawork, to render environments with a consistent architecture, or to even go more crazy with visual effects and shaders.
While consistent anatomy can be perceived to take away from the intentional deformation that anime often uses, thus going off-model for an over-the-top impact, if used with sagacity an animator will be able to make use of the camera and perspective to deform the character. This is seen in Love Live!'s recent dances. The ability to render interesting textures and a consistent anatomy can be a strength for mecha characters or props.
All in all, 3DCG is a part of anime that doesn't get enough recognition, though it has accompanied anime in its history and is an obvious part of its future, especially at a time where the production committees are risk-adverse and used to capping the budget, and with 2D animation losing in momentum.

Anime Aired On The Buzz Channel Spain (1/3)

Animeby bolakabuto666

Buzz was a Spanish subscription television channel produced by AMC Networks International Iberia. Its programming focused on horror content, both in current series and movies.

Despite not being Spanish, I have managed to appreciate the content that this channel transmitted along with several of its dubbings into Castilian Spanish, which, from my point of view, are mostly worth it.

Anime Aired On Animax Spain (1/2)

Animeby bolakabuto666

Animax was a Spanish subscription television channel of Japanese origin, distributed by Sony Pictures Entertainment under the international Animax brand. It was launched as a channel on April 12, 2008.

On December 4, 2013, it was confirmed that the channel definitively ceased its broadcasts on December 31, 2013, due to its abandonment in recent months.

Animax Spain broadcast popular series and movies and, in some cases, I dare say that it had better programming than the Latin American version.
