KEIICHIRO WHEN HE WATANABES

K1RO GREATNESSSSSSS

Jeez. I can only imagine how long it took to draw all that. Insane debris and effects work...

K1ro does it again, cant wait to see more of his work throughout the season!

This scene goes pretty fucking hard , as expected of Keiichiro Watanabe .

No me esperaba una secuencia de efectos. Tremendo KIRO

K1R0 never misses holy shit! Immaculate effects. Compositing on the effects is crazy good! Not just that the 3D background is so well incorporated as well. Teppei Ito has improved so much!

are the buildings getting destroyed 2D or 3D? I genuinely can’t tell

Knew it it was Watanabe

K1RO you madman 🙌

All that moving debris seems to be a mix of 2D and 3D. Whatever they did they blended it well.

Alright is that our usual yearly Watanabe meeting lads ? The fuck ???

Might genuinely be my favorite sequence in the entire series so far.

what is that "remake" tag?

This means that the post will be replaced with the BD version. It's used when there's dimming/ghosting

Newbie here, what does "ghosted" mean?

Oh my lord K1ro

idk why the dimming felt natural here.

Dimming(the clips before this we're heavily darkene)

check out frames 17, 18, and 19. See how there's a faint "ghost" image of the frames there? that's usually what it means. It's an anti-seizure measure along with dimming that often affects things broadcast on Japanese TV as they have particularly strict laws surrounding it. (compare to the arm motion at 36-45 for what it "should" look like)

k1ro insanity good god

this is so godly hard hard to animate

Fair to assume heavy corrections on Gojo by Rena Igawa or another AD?

K1RO never disappoints

Ah, thank you.

Volvió my king!!

That's odd, MAPPA has never paka-checked for streaming for as long as I can remember, wonder what changed.

More often than not, the degree of augmentation made to the final product to conform to anti-seizure laws is based on the timeslot the show airs in. My Hero Academia famously has really severe dimming because it airs in MBS' "Nichigo" timeslot. That slot is at 5 pm on a Sunday, so there will be lots of children watching, hence the more severe changes. Anime that airs later at night is less likely to get hit by these changes.

I don't know if JJK changed the timeslot for the second season following the jump in popularity in the wake of season one. The first season ran in the Animeism slot which is a late-night slot, hence the general lack of anti-seizure measures. A change in airing time seems the most likely culprit to me.

The ghosting on 0:23 is insane lol. What's the point of blurring out a dust cloud animation. It's dust!

Favorite cut of the year, TBH. Dude is a living legend.

They did use to differentiate for streaming though. If you checked TV rips of AoT while it was airing they were dimmed while streaming was full brightness.

AFAIK it's an automatic software that picks what ""needs"" correction.

At the moment I saw this cut in the episode I said: this must to be K1RO 100%. Awesome work as always^^

Damn the impact frame at around 0:02 is very slick. A shame the dimming is too much to see it clearly.

I’m kinda new to animation and how the process really works, this isn’t entirely related to the post but when a key animatior does Genga, do they treat it like straight ahead animation but more choppy so the Douga artists can in between them? Or do they treat it like typical western style or pose to pose animation and the in betweeners would animate everything in the middle? curious.

Each animator has their own method, most use a combination of both (this is not unique just to anime btw, its not like western animation use exclusively pose to pose)
also in relation to this pose, K1R0 usually does pretty much everything himself and doesnt leave almost anything to the douga artists

Did Crunchyroll actually release the undimmed/unguosted cuts? They should be uploaded if so.
