So , first off , I have a really important question for the creator of this anime : what pushed them to do this ? what were their motivations for starting this project ? when did you decide to start it ? , and to be fair I have a Hypothesis on the answer , and if it is what I think it is then this is absolutely mind-blowing, like my jaw would drop to the fricking floor , like did you do that for the sake of making a yuri anime?
I mean they do advertise it that way , so I have my reasons
...
to think so , because that would be some absolute sheer dedication , like I thought me going through a 6 months process to take over a 10k subreddit to turn it into Yuri was something but this is on a whole other f*** ing level , I don't know how much time it took you , months ? years ?
either way , and no matter what happens I'll always think highly of your work , because imagine making an anime but you're the only person making it (or at least most of it if you don't count the voices , the music , the sound design etc..) , most people wouldn't be capable of doing such an effort and time-consuming task , which is all the more impressive when you consider the technical skills involved ,
yeah sure some plans and shots are still images and shortcuts are taken like loops and stuff , but all of it is excused when you look at the bigger picture and the circumstances , just know that I was more entertained watching 30 minutes of this than watching 5 episodes of strawberry panic , that means they definitely achieved something here
now I want to go a bit more in-depth about my perspective as the viewer , I thought giving some feedback would be helpful to you , although it is strictly from an amateur's point of view , so these words are to be taken with a grain of salt , I'm not trying to tell how to do stuff and I'm in no position to say that , even if constructive criticism can sound a little harsh but I'm learning art myself and I believe that sometimes receiving tough criticism is actually the most helpful , I am in no way trying to say it's bad or anything like I said I think highly of it, I'm only picking on the things I want to point out :
first I felt like a bit lost from time to time on the development of the story , well you can argue that I'm a bit braindead but I feel like there's a lack of contextualization and characterisation , and yes sometimes it's intentional but here I feel like it's not well adjusted , I'm acknowledging the fact that there's a chapter 2 coming out eventually but you have to anticipate that this is a movie and chapter 2 is currently being funded , so it should have its stand-alone kind of thing going on , even a little bit would be nice just to not have this "throw that in , now figure it out" kind of feeling , like I'm wondering about , fire of life ? interdimensional thing ? what/where exactly am I looking at ? pilots ? apocalypse ? gods/divinity ? shrine maiden ? etc... , all of those things are valid but feels like it lacks some setting up ,
and maybe the animation itself adds to the confusion (but like I said that's not your fault , you're like the only person making the visuals)
and lastly, when you have a close-up on the feet when someone is running like at 1:41, why are the legs so T H I C C ? (nah ok I was joking a bit there)
