Sakuga Highlights: Week 8
This week I ended up disregarding the plans I had for this column almost entirely in lieu of interesting anime craft developments. Good news I suppose! Let’s get to it.
This week I ended up disregarding the plans I had for this column almost entirely in lieu of interesting anime craft developments. Good news I suppose! Let’s get to it.
Mob Psycho’s current arc continues to focus more on a character journey over action setpieces, and the anime adaptation pulls it off just fine.
When Mob Psycho has an episode with very few animation highlights, the staff still makes sure it stands out when compared to regular TV anime through other means.
I dared to keep Tachikawa away from this column for one week, and now he’s pissed off and back to reclaim his rightful throne. You know which series I have to start with this time.
Mob Psycho has switched between multiple animation styles, so it’s only logical that it would do so again for the main action episode so far. It’s webgen‘s turn to shine!
TV anime episodes handled by a single key animator are a rarity nowadays. When it comes to latenight series, only a few shows with balanced schedules or short length can afford them. And with this episode, Mob Psycho joins their ranks.
Let me tell you about a fascinating, lovingly crafted series. You might have heard of this one before, it’s called Mob Psycho.
What happens when an unconventional artist known for his loose drawing style does animation direction for a TV anime episode? We get a masterpiece like this, apparently.
Episode two of Mob Psycho 100 was unsurprisingly less filled with outstanding pieces of animation than the premiere. Is the show already losing steam? Is it a letdown? Is everything over?! Hell no!
It’s time for the weekly highlights, slightly earlier than usual since the Mob Psycho post will be delayed and we wanted to make up for it. Fans of digital animation and those who want to learn more about it: get ready, this one’s for you.
