Key Characteristics of Kagenashi

Simplified Details: The style often involves removing complex shadows and intricate details, relying on bold silhouettes and solid blocks of color.

Enhanced Emotional Expressions: The absence of shading allows animators to draw more attention to the characters faces and overall performance, conveying strong emotions more directly.

Increased Fluidity and time animating: By reducing the amount of details, animators can animate more frames, leading to smoother and faster-paced action sequences.

Focus on Silhouette and Movement: The strong defined outlines created by the lack of shadows help emphasize a characters movement and overall form
