Another question, I'm curious how heavily the 2D VFX was integrated and how much was done in 3D. The biggest spot I noticed was the final explosion in the what it sounds like climax as gwima gets exploded, but were the eye sparkles that happened in Rumi's eyes at big moments done in 2D too? (Big fan of the sparkles btw lol, very anime in the best way possible)

I'm studying 2D anim and curious how this new era of hybrid 2D/3D animation works from a production standpoint

there was quite a lot of mixed 2D/3D effects! that final climax shot of gwima getting stomped was animated by Xin Ju, who drew quite a lot of 2D effects that ended up making it into the final film! in some cases, lighting just used his original drawings, but for that final climax shot, he did rough drawings and then the fx department did their own pass with a mix of 2D and 3D.

gwima himself was also a mix of 2D and 3D effects. we animated him with rough 3D geometry, then a 2D artist went over our animation with a 2D pass and then the 3D folks did some more effects on top of that.

the eye sparkles were done using a tool created for spiderverse, that let the animators create publishable custom shapes that can be used by lighting.

i love this because it's just another way to see the hand of the artist in these shots because those shapes don't exist in the rig and were added by the animators.

lots of folks also used 2D to block their shots. probably something like 80% of the fight scenes in the movie were roughed out by Ryusuke Furuya, who is an absolute BEAST when it comes to action and fighting! he did a lot of 2D/3D hybrid blocking using blender

Has there been any noticeable correlation between bad reviews and Covid? I do wonder if people’s sense of smell is permanently “off”. Mine hasn’t gone back to normal, the most noticeable problem being that Lime flavor is now somehow cranked to 200%, making for some fascinatingly powerful candies and desserts.

i'd love to see some stats on this! i've definitely noticed reviews from after 2020 where someone will gush about how much they love a scent, then come back a while later and complain that it smells completely different and horrible now. some of them attribute it to covid, some of them have no idea why their bottle smells different now.

ironically, this did also make me reconsider something... i got a nice lovely coconut perfume i can't remember the name of back in around 2019. i remember going back to it in the summer of 2021 (after i got covid for the first time) and noticed that it now smelled like rancid pee. i assumed that the bottle went off at one point, but now i wonder if it's from the covid exposure.

very interesting!

As someone who doesn't know a thing about perfumes, reading what you have to say about them is so unbelievably cool!

If I may ask something, what would a magical girl use, but not the pink main one, maybe the orange/yellow one?

ive been sitting with this for a little bit rotating it in my head... this will be a long one

so im putting my answers into two different categories:

one is for the Orange Magical Girl Archetype, which is how i was thinking of the first one. in my head, the orange ones are usually sporty, energetic, and have a sun or fire theme going on, while still maintaining a lot of that youthful sparkly fun vibe. (i also personally associate them with citrus, because, well, orange) so i was thinking of that. this will be my first category of answers.

olympea solar by rabanne - yummy! white florals and mandarin orange.

h&m sunray - golden warmth by h&m - straight up smells like summer. sunscreen, coconut, slightly floral?

orange ice cream by colornoise - i have no idea if this one is good or not to be honest. but it looks like it should fit. i trust it. i believe in it.

dr. botica poção da criatividade by o boticário - ok pause. i have never seen this mentioned before by anyone and found it by accident. what is this. this is ridiculously cute. how do i get my hands on it? the bottle is so cute! it has a star for god's sake

sundrunk by imaginary authors - "oh noo it's so linear" "it doesn't smell like a city on fire or bull's blood" i don't care. smells like artificial orange flavoring followed by neroli. yummy

...so this was my first thought.

then i started thinking: what about the actual orange magical girls from things i've watched? what do i associate with them?

and then i realized: WHERE ARE ALL THE ORANGE MAGICAL GIRLS?? i can think of, like, 5 total! all of them have completely different personalities! everyone's always like "ohh toei hates making green magical girls, we're starving, please feed us more green magical girls please" as if there is not currently a CRISIS of MAGICAL GIRLS WHO WEAR ORANGE in their series even greater than this...

with that said: the 5 magical girls i can think of who are primarily orange all have completely different associations for me, so i figured it'd be fun to pick a perfume or two for each of them.

cure soleil from star twinkle precure - i think they technically classify her as yellow so she might not even count. that's stupid. she's orange. being blonde does not change the color of her outfit.

for her, i pick aqua allegoria nettare di sole by guerlain. it has solar notes, which are critical for her IMO, along with beautiful white florals, which i think matches with her association with flowers.

hazuki from ojamajo doremi - ah, i'm struggling with this a bit.. she's very shy, naive, and studious, with an interest in things like violin and ballet. i was hoping i could find something with maybe a light varnish accord, but no luck. instead, i looked for things with an old book/paper smell without being overly dark or old, and i'm stuck between these 2...

gion by fantome - powdery rose tea with honey and books. light and cute.

morning room by solstice scents - you thought i was gonna do a recommendation post without mentioning solstice scents huh? huh?? *beats you up* this is another powdery and light floral, this time mostly based on violet instead of rose. and, of course, there's a paper note in here.

cure sunny from smile precure - i'm realizing that, in my head, she is the prototypical orange magical girl. i may be biased because she's also my favorite. i want to find something that evokes fire without being overly smoky or autumnal.

beach bonfire by alchemic muse - a firey gourmand with a little bit of nice sandalwood and amber, nice!

fire opal (orange 2; natural) by dsh perfumes - planning on getting a sample of this. bitter orange that people are complaining is "too masculine"

sailor venus from sailor moon - oh god. is she orange? anyways, i think i'd associate her with like, makeup accords, like the way lipstick smells. but fun and silly. it'd be cool if i could find a light and fun fragrance with a hot iron accord because she has a chain attack and all that, but no such thing seems to exist

iris crush by jimmy choo - powdery floral lipstick. yay!

nagisa momoe from puella magi madoka magica - is this even a question?

cheesecake by arcana wildcraft.

anyways, to be transparent, a lot of the time i don't answer fandom/character requests because it's always things i've never watched/read/played/etc. before. but mahou shoujo... well i've heard of it

[comicaurora]

You can tell us fans are going through various stages of comic withdrawal by how much you post the questions on when the next part is coming out. XD That being said, take the time you need, I'm still on my hiatus re-read. XD

[askoverkill]

okay. obviously the fighter's not gonna tell you his dream job if you ask him outright. but maybe if you ask him what job he'd want if he wasn't a bodyguard?

transcript below:

Hi, Mister Fighter man!

Uh... hi?

Hm?

Oh, my flower crown. Lulu was nice enough to make me one.

That's uh. Not what. Uh.

...Ah, yeah, I'm sopping wet. Haha.

...Not that... either?

(Why else is he looking at you like that?)

(HUAUGH???) (LUPUS IS SMELLING YOU?!!)

Hm, you don't SMELL gross. You smell wet. So, that's not it.

Uh... Siffrin... who is this child?

Ah, that makes sense. This is Lupus, my child.

Hello! I am Lupus, the loopy patootie!

HWAHH? WHA? HUH?!!!??!

(...OH. THAT'S RIGHT.) (THAT'S NEWS TO HIM!)

WHAT! DO YOU DOUBT MY PATOOTIENESS?!

N-No! Never! I'm just, shocked?!??

Ah, Sifferent never told nobody about me cause I'm the secret and powerful Lulu of darkness.

To tell anyone of me is to condemn them to a fate of the deepest and darkest darkness there ever was.

What? That's a new one.

I know, I'm testing it out.

dont tag bible stuff as mythology God isnt mythology

hi hello how are you. most if not all story-based religions are in fact considered mythology by definition including the abrahamic religions. god is in fact abrahamic mythos whether you think he’s real or not. im sorry if that upsets you but im assuming this is regarding the post i just reblogged and i have to say im surprised the part you’re upset about is me tagging biblicalia as mythology and not the entire discussion on who tops in jesus/judas ship discourse
