So you're saying it looks rotoscoped in the important parts? Poor BahiJD :(

Thread need more examples of his work.


If they were going to do this, they shouldn't have half-assed it. Give him tits or make him 300 lbs, but don't just hide his washboard abs. That's extraordinarily lazy.

It's not about what's seen on screen, it's what is left out that is truly important!

Asks questions so Ezalc doesn't have to
because its easier.

True enough. :/

Scaling back the number of productions would lead to some companies having to close due to lack of work.

Anyway, we've seen that better animation doesn't translate into better sales.

This is also sadly true enough. :/

My take on it is that, between otaku having very limited attention spans, the desire by production companies to promote new LN/manga, and the fact that most of them probably need the work to eat for that season, most animation studios probably don't have that luxury. I don't think it's as simple as: "Don't make anime for a season, have more money", especially for studios with multiple branches. They're paid to make the anime, after all.

Yeah, I know. I just feel bad for the talented animators who work tirelessly for pennies. Er... yen. :/

I'm doing my part to support good anime (these just arrived from Amazon).

I lack your .gif powers.

It's fairly easy! There's a good youtube tutorial on making gifs with VirtualDub/VirtualDubMod that had me giffing in minutes. I'll try to find it for you.

Regarding that character, I can't be the only who noticed how
toned down his antics were compared to last weeks episode. Last week he was channelling Haru-levels of over the top energy, moment and general ludicrousnesses. This week he was still noticeably flamboyant, but it was rather more realistic.

Yes, this change was very noticeable, and the episode was so much better for it.
Simply turning down his exuberance did wonders for making his character more believable.

On a related note, his fang seemed less prominent this episode, but that could just be an alteration in my perception caused by my not dwelling as much on the negative characteristics of his personality.

Living in the shadow of Amaz
Lupin the Third - Mine Fujiko to Iu Onna 8

I'm not gonna lie: I'll need to rewatch this episode to make any sense out of it... Although I'm almost certain it won't make sense even then.

The whole Shitoto Chandler thing simply went over my head. What was that lithograph thing?
And he was naming the death days of persons Lupin had stolen from to "test his worth" as a potential man for Fujiko... What? I'm guessing the Count Owl guy is behind this, but how does killing those persons test Lupin?
Somebody please explain this stuff to me, hahaha.

The episode itself wasn't a mess like the previous one, though, despite the fact that once again Fujiko was just an useless secondary character that showed up in the end because of reasons. Hm... Or maybe it's exactly because of how she didn't get much screen time that this episode wasn't that much of a mess.


*Shudders*

So this Count Owl guy is part of the overarching plot of the series, huh? Oh, nevermind that: there is an overarching plot in this series. That is the big news here.

They need to do an episode with the entire crew or a Lupin + Goemon team up soon. Come on.

This is a good question, when does the lead technically have a harem, is it when he's got more than 1 girl in reserves, or is it when it exceeds a love triangle?

We've already discussed this very topic at some point earlier in extreme depth. As you'd expect from this kind of thread.

I really can't remember the specifics though because I don't care.

Top tier. This guy should be doing way more than just animation grunt work.

It's not about what's seen on screen, it's what is left out that is truly important!

So the more that SHAFT excludes from a scene, the more important the content of that scene becomes? No wonder half of Bakemonogatari is a series of blank slides with text.

Really nice. so thats who created those Gifs I see everywhere? Always liked these.

True enough. :/

These are the 9 cuts in Apollon #7 which Bahi JD handled all the layouts for: http://imgur.com/a/pqlTX

The first 3 cuts there are the ones he personally animated - all key animation and in-betweening. We have a gif of the first 2 cuts, but not the third one, which I requested from Mad Pierrot already. Hopefully he comes through for us. :)

Got it! (I think)

So, what do you think about MAPPA using him for Kids on the Slope. Is it just a one-off thing because of his talents or does it point to something else?

Where's the toilet and sink?
Toilets go in toilet rooms, not bathrooms.
Putting a toilet in the bathroom would mean the bathroom could wind up smelly when you want to take a bath, and would make it difficult for people to use the toilet when someone's soaking in the bath.
Not to mention the bathroom floor will frequently be wet from the overspill from the tub, so you don't really want to walk in there when you're not going to bathe.

I hear there do exist some weird foreign cultures where they put toilets in bathrooms, though.

BahiJD does a lot of gifs but I don't see them in many places. Maybe you've seen other gif animations by Japanese people who may be professional animators now!

The webkey generation is spreading to the West!!

Maybe you should clean your toilet. They shouldn't smell.

At least we aren't staining the front-page of Off-Topic anymore, which is surely why this whole sub-board was created.

Clearly, we need to create separate OTs for each show airing next season regardless of "mainstream" interest. I mean, a bunch of threads for niche series that no one outside of AnimeGAF would ever watch is surely preferable to a single catch-all thread, right?

Nobody posts in OT single show threads. the excitement and fun is all in THIS thread.
The OT show threads get buried anyway.
Poor things.

This is change I can believe in.

Thanks Mad Pierrot! <3

I think he has a lot of potential to work in the industry. He has said that he does plan on moving to Japan after he finishes university. For now I think at best he can take on one-off gigs like this, because it would probably be a bit of a hassle to have a major role in animating a series and not being in the same country or offices as the studio itself.
