| Just a quick question. Are the episodes with the pencil drawings and cut out's there on purpose, like they purposely wanted that style of animation, or was it because they didn't have the budget or time to fully animate? I kind of thought it was because they didn't have the time, because their are like 3 recap episodes within all 26 episodes. Thank you! |

ANN said: His and Her Circumstances is a romantic drama manga series by Masami Tsuda. Anno was tasked with directing the series but Tsuda grew displeased with the more comedy-focused adaptation. A lot of Anno's directorial marks were on the adaptation as well, which utilized traffic signals and railroad crossings as symbols. As Tsuda's displeasure grew, the show began resorting to less and less actual animation, at one point replacing characters with literal popsicle stick cut-outs. Anno left his directorial duties and the remaining seven episodes were overseen by Kazuya Tsurumaki. Maybe this can help you to get an idea about the situation behind this. |

PrincessCorgi said: Even during the first episode you can see shots you could call "pencil drawings". Those were made clearly on purpose and worked effectively. Just a quick question. Are the episodes with the pencil drawings and cut out's there on purpose, like they purposely wanted that style of animation, or was it because they didn't have the budget or time to fully animate? I kind of thought it was because they didn't have the time, because their are like 3 recap episodes within all 26 episodes. Thank you! Episode 19 that is the clear oddball with those stick cut-outs as Rei mentioned earlier is at the end of the day some weird experimentation they had the balls to make (due to budget constrains, yes, most likely). Recaps episodes (14, half of 15 and 24) is what is really concerning in a sense, and those are easy to skip. 19 and 25 are "simply" weird episodes (disappointing if you expect the same pace of plot progression as in the beginning of the series though), and 20-24,26 introduce character arcs that won't see completion in the anime. The main problem of this series is ironically starting very well. When it stops being as good it does so in such an obvious fashion it's almost impossible not to be left disappointed. But as far as the visual efforts seen throughout its episodes, well. I can barely compare it with anything else. I find it commendable overall. |
