yuh can't really blame me for feeling a bit underwhelmed when a good chunk of the series just got the cast talkin & questioning if they friends' doin okay
But hey looking forward to season 5 when I get to it and what they building up to with the Illuminati and the Blue Night Saga
I was round the age of 10-12 when I caught a glimpse of Blue Exorcist when it first aired on Toonami and saw one of the protagonists fighting a plant demon with two handguns and thought that shit was sick!
Skip to now as an adult & I feel kinda falsely advertised
Which there's nothing wrong with, but when you have a series where a character can pull up gunning down demons in the name of the church, while being one of the two sons of Satan-
If you need to partner with AI to get a greenlight on your project, it ain't worth it. I know it's super frustrating out there rn but nothing makes replacing your peers with automated garbo justified. Nothing. We gotta hold the line on this one or we're f*cked.
We employ over 80 artists to carefully work on every single part of the animation and creative process.
You will never get the nuance, complexity and beauty of a Ghibli film without the human hand and their love.
We will never use AI to replace art in our works.
When I was in high school, I became completely obsessed with Dragon Ball Z characters and started drawing every day. We had a small old LED TV at home, much thinner than the really old TVs from brands like Samsung and Sansui. Surprisingly, it supported USBs, so I used to download my favorite DBZ wallpapers and artworks, then ask my brother to put them on the TV so I could trace them directly from the screen.
The screen already had a lot of cracks, and my mother used to scold me all the time for using it like that haha, but I was so passionate about drawing that I just kept practicing anyway. I spent countless hours tracing, studying, and learning until I finally got my own phone after high school.
Over time, I became so familiar with the art style that I could draw DBZ characters directly without tracing. Akira Toriyama and Dragon Ball had a huge influence on me as an artist. Looking back now, those memories feel very nostalgic, and it honestly surprises me how far Iβve come since those days.
Watched the Blade trilogy with some friends over a discord call 1 or 2 years back
The first still probably is my favorite, meanwhile 2 was epic but over all okay
Went in fully aware people said 3 was the worst yet somehow was still disappointed, lol
