I Know This Is Related More To Undertale But Let Me Throw My Hat Into The Ring

WE'RE EATING GOOD TODAY, TUMBLR!!!

happy new year! reminder that as of January 1st, 2025, the 1929 animated Disney short "The Skeleton Dance" is now public domain!

Welp Guilty Gear Strive had their 3v3 beta...and I'm not a fan.

It's honestly confusing on how it actually works to the point where it feels unplayable. I wanna play with just me and a friend like how MvC did but nope! I don't see why I need 6 PLAYERS just to play 3v3. In other words, please fix this mode, Arc Sys. It's laggy, it's unplayable and really really disappointing.

I forgot about this place

I need to stop forgetting and actually fucking use it

Oh yeah? Well-

“mom, dad, you don’t have to tell me, I already know I’m adopte-“ “made up of 14 billions spiders, yes … it’s true” “… ex-fucking-cuse me?!”

It's March 10th so let's all worship our god

3 more days until the Vib-Ribbon video!

Hey did you know there's lost media that indicates Vibri was supposed to appear on some Japanese music channel to celebrate new year's?

No?

Well now you do!

Deciding to extend this a bit further so I can get more artist submissions.

Another page setup

It has been...idk months since I made this confession but I need to bring something up.

Guilty Gear Strive has an anime now

From the clips I've seen of the show, it appears to be using a similar style to the game it's based on.

Miraculous has no excuses. This is a real thing now.

Also no spoilers pls I need to actually watch the show

TW: VIDEO LINKS PUT LATER IN THE POST CONTAIN IMAGERY OF SUICIDE AND LOUD SOUNDS! THIS POST CAN BE UNDERSTOOD WITHOUT THEM.

((Post submitted, yet again, by my friend @tanookireviews!))

Transcript: Heya! Tanooki here once again to give you a ted talk and critique the style of Miraculous once again! This time, it's in regards to its animation and how I feel about it.

To put it simply...the animation could be a whole lot better in my opinion. Why is that?

Miraculous's animation tries to hard to combine both 3D and 2D together. Combining those styles is not a problem! In fact, in certain circumstances, it can look amazing when put in the right hands!

Miraculous was never given that treatment.

First and most obvious point here, what the actual fuck are those facial expressions? No really what are they? I'm all for really weird facial expressions but...I dunno. They didn't think the facial expressions through at all.

It's obvious that the facial expressions were made for a more 2D look and from the looks of it, they weren't translated over well. The models do not line up with what they're trying to do. They slapped on the face and called it a day

Another point I have to make is that there are a lot of animation errors. I understand that animation errors are inevitable as we are all human and we all make mistakes...but...

Why are there so goddamn many!?

These are the 4 examples I have. While they're not much, there's a clear thing going on. There's either

Parts of their design completely gone (e.g. eyebrows)

Parts of their design they did not have (e.g. the green bangs)

Parts of their design changed slightly (e.g. hair and eyes)

There's so many of these mistakes here. I don't even know why. Was their animation software bugging out? Were they short for time or budget? Or were they lazy and cutting corners?

I'm not entirely sure...but these bits here prove that this show was better in 2D...

Which brings me to this...Ladybug PV. The early pilot of Miraculous Ladybug that had surfaced online not long ago!

There are expressions that while exaggerated look much better here. Characters designs look so much more interesting and there's a general sense of polish and detail put into this.

So why wasn't this used? Budgeting and keeping track of Ladybug's spots...

Those are some of the worst excuses I've ever heard. You can have 2D animation on low budgets and I can prove it.

I can definitely prove it.

Ladies and gentlemen. Persona 3. A game released in the year of 2006. This game was created by Atlus, around the time they were on the verge of bankruptcy.

I understand that the animation isn't perfect. Some parts are off-model and there's a general lack of shading in some areas however the rest of the animation looks amazing in terms of expressions, tone and designs throughout.

There's clearly a lot of work put into the animation despite everything happening. It goes to show that even on the tightest of budgets, you can give it your all and make something really good out of it.

However, those days are long gone and miraculous went the way of 3D. However, I've come prepared and now have 3 examples of games that combine both 2D and 3D.

Let's begin with

1. Klonoa 2 Lunetea's Veil

Klonoa 2 Lunetea's Veil's character expression, designs and look fit perfectly with the vibe of the game.

Facial expressions are sometimes goofy looking however they fit with the style of the game while also being funny. Even some of the more serious ones look good too!

The game uses a technique called 'cel-shading' or 'toon-shading' if you prefer to call it that. This makes the characters pop a bit more and separates them from background elements that could interfere with their designs.

It also looks good from a 2D/3D mix as well as the style gives off an anime/cartoon style look that helps make the game look a lot better.

This was in 2001 btw.

2. Persona 5/Persona 5 Royal

Persona 5 is an artistically beautiful game along with having a great story all about rebellion and fighting back against societal issues.

Like Klonoa 2, this game also uses cel shading and very much leans into the anime-like style it wants to go for while combining it with the vibes of manga and comic books.

The style not only works but looks beautiful no matter what system the game is played on (even the switch). It also incorporates 2D elements such as character sprites for expressions and other elements to help balance it out just a bit more and make things clearer to the player.

3. Guilty Gear Strive

Oh Guilty Gear Strive...not only are you a brilliant fighting game that has one of the best trans reps ever...but you also have excellent animation and designs.

Like holy shit any screenshots from Guilty Gear Strive looks brilliant and that's because while the characters are rendered in 3D, it does clever tricks with the camera to try and hide that fact and make it look 2D.

It also like the other 2 games uses cel-shading to add even more of a 2D anime vibe to it all. It just works so well because the animators know what the hell they're doing. It's also getting a show soon so that's even more of a testament (get it? Lol) to how good the game actually looks.

So overall, Ladybug's animation is not the worst but could be better.

Thanks once again for coming to my ted talk.

Yeahhhh I was meant to post this back in May 2024, but I was carried away then 🙃 Happy New Year btw!

please block @wizardexismean on youtube. He’s been harassing me as I refuse to befriend him again after he fired me for being away on a predetermined mental health break. Below is the channel link, and everything they’ve said is stretched truth (my friends never called him slurs, that’s a blatant lie. I banned him because of harassment and the bandlab songs are reuploads from years ago). Do not send hate, but block and ignore <3
