part 353 whalers on the moon

[aphanon_meme]

We've been here over a year now! I can hardly believe it! Dreamwidth's been pretty good, I'd say, with almost no downtime to speak of and all that! Anyway... how is your spring going? Or I guess it's almost summer, isn't it? Hopefully it's been well! I've been catching up on work and new movies, all very exciting stuff, I'm sure.

Enjoy part 353!

Eh, the animation has its bad moments but it's not really a dealbreaker. The original anime had lots of crap animation too.

+1!

I'm really not into animation - if they did something with the eyes and made the transformation look less... plastic? at times - I could be, but yeah

it seems nice overall though! I liked usagi better, and her meeting with mamoru was cool too.

But it's based off the manga, which is pretty shoujo?

Though I'm not surprised that it's popular regardless, I mean, this is a show with one heck of a legacy.

That said, it's not my sort of show to begin with, so I was only going to give it a try if I liked the new art and animation. I... kind of hate the new art. Maybe they should've stuck with the old art style and just added more detail to the hair? The old art style has stood up ok over the years, imo, or at least has a kind of retro charm, but the new art looks cheap and the proportions of the faces are really off - it's like the faces from a "how to draw shoujo manga" book that technically fulfilled all the parameters of being a shoujo manga style face but yet completely fails to capture the appeal or cuteness or prettiness.

I don't know why I feel vaguely disappointed and let down about this when I'm not even a fan, but I guess I'd kind of expected them to put more money into a show that has such cash cow potential.
