Cutting Corners for the Sake of Anime - Determining a Quality Presentation vs. a Slide Show
Thursday, January 28th, 1999Your eyes will bleed when you watch Studio Ghibli’s Mononoke Hime. Slobber will dribble down your chin and pool in your lap as you marvel at the full on CGI three point perspective action scenes. The arid magical forests of ancient Japan flawlessly rendered in the extravagant backgrounds will make you reach out your shaking hand for that world beyond the movie screen. Ghibli can create more emotion and human empathy out of 2D cartoon characters than Oscar has awarded in the last 50 years. Mind-bendingly fluid animation supporting humankind’s most difficult moral battles set in familiar alien worlds is the Studio’s trademark. Every production they release is an instant classic including Naussica, Laputa, Kiki’s Delivery Service, Porco Rosso, My Neighbor Totoro and the aforementioned Mononoke Hime to name a few. This is anime in its purest form. Ghibli is the benchmark that all other feature length anime should be judged.
