it always amazes me how ame and kronii rarely ever collab and they don't have as good of a chemistry as they have w other talents, but the fanart and lore that the fans made for them is so plentiful that we dont even notice it

Plz explain then the travesty that is love and thunder

A trainwreck directed by an egotistical six-year-old in a leech of a man's body who thinks he's a screenwriter and still plays pretend with his uwu self-insert OC.

.... real talk, though, in short:

The real travesty of Love and Thunder is that Thor is already made of love and thunder, and simultaneously Jane is the love to his thunder, and the MCU, through taika wai-feck-off, decided he can be neither of those things, and have no nice things. Thor is the most tragic character in the ENTIRETY of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, and yes, I do think more tragic than Wanda.

He has lost :

his entire home planet

his people

his entire family of four (no hela does not count he was not connected to her and should have been odin's sister)

before which he lost his brother (his platonic soulmate, to boot) a total of 3 times emotionally, two of those physically

he lost his ENTIRE friend group because his half-sister murdered Volstagg, Hogun and Faendral; he never reconnected with Sif

his only good mentor/parental figure (heimdal) was stabbed through the heart in front of him

he lost his dignity, his crown, his birthright (voluntarily and otherwise)

he lost his self-worth, his sense of direction (bc the writers legitimately thought his arc was about stepping down from the crown instead of making it his own and growing into it in his own way, by his own merits, at his own pace and gave it to some literally no-name side character that showed up for one movie and never respected thor in the first place to even earn his title from him smh)

and taika's idea of rectifying any of this .... is to give him some random child he doesn't know, that he doesn't care for, and manipulate him into taking her under his wing not because of the kindness and limitless love of his own heart even after shutting himself down post!endgame, but because jane asked him to as her dying wish — and then say that THAT is his happy ending.

Tell me why Thor, the longest standing of the Big Three, the king of the stars, the hero who is by all respects the embodiment of love, gets no companionship, no friends, no home, no place to belong, when Tony got a hero's send off and Steve got to be with an alt!dimension Peggy.

spiral is such an excellent fucking episode

[notscarsafe]

OKAY SO what with the TWO new Hermits implied by the updated banner I will say that, though the Skizz truthers have me convinced, I now have room to do my own crazy red string monologue and throw my hat in for my choice

1) Mythical J. Sausage (the J is silent) is a multitalented S-tier builder that absolutely deserves to be shoulder to shoulder with the Hermits. The man does buildings, interiors, terraforming, custom trees, and he does them SO WELL.

2) The production values!!! Beautiful replay mod sequences with shifting camera perspectives, shaders, music that sets the tone for each segment that's different from series to series. He already has more than a million followers on YouTube and for good reason!!

3) He has been SO consistent lately. He started a hardcore world about three months ago (about the time you might expect the Hermits to finalize their s10 choices maybe...???) and already has 15 episodes and hasn't gotten involved in any other big content. (He did just start playing a little of the BCG server but from what I understand that's super casual /copium copium copium).

4) That hardcore world is conveniently about to reach a good "pause" point. He started his world on a cherry blossom biome island that he's filled with a medieval village and starter farms, he's said it's almost full and what's left is the castle. I'm guessing the new season will start the first week of February, so if Sausage puts out a video this week building out that Castle and finishing that island it will be MIGHTY CONVENIENT TIMING.

5) This man can GRIND. His Hardcore world hasn't even been going half a year and he's built... So much??? Magnificent! And when he was on the Hermitcraft server he did the Razorcrest for scar AND the player head baby yoda/stormtrooper merch AND the noteblock themesong AND still built in the xmas village and other "diamond of peace" and so many other shenanigans. Did the man even sleep? He can grind with the best of them.

6) He can do redstone, too! Maybe not unique designs, I honestly don't know, but he builds farms for build materials no problem.

7) The DRAMA this man loves his improv and his backstory and trauma lore! For every series he does! Can you imagine if he gets to interact with Ren for an extended period of time, what that would do to them, to us?? Give Martyn a run for his money!!

8) Which brings me to my next point, which is that Sausage is already One of The Gang, because he's been in series with so many of the Hermits already! Empires and the crossover, obviously, but also Pirates with Cleo and Origins with Scar, and he's even done MCC! Joel is the only other player with the same depth of different series but there are other people truthing him already.

9) The EPIC BROMANCE with Pearl. My god the devotion of this man to his sunflower goddess bestie. I would try to do ot justice but y'all have seen floweroflaurelins work, you already know.

10) He's already a PG streamer but with HILARIOUSLY PG-13 tendencies. Imagine him and Cleo cracking each other up at an HHH stream, *grips your shoulders* IMAGINE IT.

11) Sausage comes with his own mascot in the form of interdimensional dog extraordinaire Bubbles, but he's also just an animal lover on general. Mans drinks his "I love Jellie" juice and had her in his world even before the sad news of her loss.

12) Diversity win! No one should be hired just for their gender, race, sexuality etc etc unless it's truly necessary to the job, but we were all happy when more women got added to the server in s8 and I know a lot of people would be happy to see some ethnic diversity added, too.

... That bulletin board had a lot more pins in it than I thought it did but anyway MYTHICALSAUSAGE TRUTHERS/ALL OTHER TRUTHERS RISE UP SPEAK YOUR TRUTH! we'll only get to wildly speculate for a few weeks so we might as well make it everyone else's problem ENJOY IT TO THE FULLEST!!

I think they should let Scooby Doo shows and movies hibernate for a few years.

I'm just saying, when it "died" and came back with Zombie Island, Witch's Ghost, and eventually What's New Scooby Doo, shit was great.

When "Shaggy and Scooby Doo Get A Clue" was bad, eventually the really fun movies like Abracadabra Doo and the series Mystery Inc came out.

Let Velma kill itself for a bit. Let the greedy WB execs fester in the rotting corpse of a show they gave no shits for. Leave it alone for like 5 years or more.

Come back and Scooby Doo has an anime with the most GOATed fight scenes and sakuga tier chase scenes. Some JJBA tier references to old bands. Scooby eats God, mistaking him for a sandwich.

Anyway Velma got greenlit for a second season and I know I didn't watch it. Be apathetic towards the bitch the rest of its miserable run and let the gang come back for the better down the road

[slasherscream]

my girl can wear whatever she wants tiers please for crazy ass boys gang!!!

CRAZY ASS BOYS GANG + MY GIRL CAN WEAR WHATEVER SHE WANTS TIERS

❥ my girl can wear whatever she want cause I can fight ❥

Billy Loomis - When you look particularly good his arm might as well be glued to your waist. He's both possessive and protective. He hates the way everyone's eyes devour you, but can't help how prideful it makes him either. Yeah, you want her. Of course you want her. Everyone does. But only I have her. God help the idiot that's stupid enough to open their mouth and not just look.

Jordan Li - They love watching you put your outfits together. They make suggestions from your bed, glancing up at you every few minutes. They can't help it. Their eyes are drawn to you permanently. No matter how crowded the room they can find you in a second. Whenever there's a party Jordan loves watching everyone try to sneak quick glances at you. They jump like rabbits when they wind up meeting Jordan's eyes and watch that smile that Jordan only wears around you fall back into the usual scowl. No one wants to be caught staring at Jordan's girl.

Arvin Russell - It's not possible for you to feel fear in public when you're with Arvin. You could be wearing straight lingerie in the most dangerous city in the world at 2 am and be safe. He's not just ready to protect you but hungry for it. Every time he proves he'll fight till his knuckles are bloody and bruised over you he watches you walk a little more confidently. Shine a little brighter. Knowing that he's there to protect you has only made you more yourself every day. And Arvin? He's obsessed with the transformation that the safety net of his fierce protection has ignited within you.

Jason Dean/JD - You wish he'd only fight people over what you're wearing. Unfortunately, this is not the case. JD pulls out a gun. Not every time, granted. Just a large majority of the time. In his defense, how is he supposed to act when someone has the audacity to cat call you? Do you expect him to just watch and not care as you experience that brief shiver of fear that runs up your spine when a man whistles at you before following it up with even more salacious words? If you feel fear, he'll make them feel fear. Simple.

Sparrow!Ben Hargreeves - If someone is stupid enough to not recognize him before they say anything to you about what you're wearing they will quickly recognize the tentacle wrapped around their throat. "Apologize." He hisses through gritted teeth, increasing the pressure, knowing just how much strength he can use before it would break their neck. How he ever expects anyone to apologize to you with a giant tentacle wrapped around their wind pipe you don't know. This is the second time this month. You're running out of night clubs you're not banned from.

David Mccall - You walk out of the house with the confidence that only someone who's done 12 tours over seas should have. But no, you just have a boyfriend who is incredibly scary. You've watched him almost break a man's hand for brushing it against yours at a crowded bar while he reached for his drink. You don't even think before you throw on an outfit anymore.

❥ my girl can wear whatever she want because she a hoe and I knew that before we started dating ❥

Josh Washington - Could he fuck someone up if needed? Yes, but he feels no need to. As long as you're not in danger or being disrespected Josh loves the way you express yourself through your look. You're hot and beautiful, of course you wear stuff that's short or tight, or both. If he looked like you he'd do the same thing. People don't usually say anything to you anyways, since he's always pressed to you like a second skin. He's not a jealous guy, but he is a chronic clinger.

Stu Macher - Is probably the person wolf whistling you in the first place. Points at you from across the room when you're talking to other people and says, "That's my girl right there. She's smoking, right?" He will always be smug he pulled you and NEVER shut up about it. The more wild you dress the more smug he gets. People can look all they want. But you only want him. What's there not to brag about?

Kevin Khatchadourian - Kevin above anyone else would thoroughly understand your psyche before dating you. He's involved with you because, somehow, you intrigued him against all odds. He already expected and predicted with near perfect accuracy every step of the relationship. Skimpy outfits are not throwing him. Can he fight? Yes. But, frankly, if someone pisses him off by hitting on you swinging on them is not gonna satisfy him. He's more of a "put their fingerprints at a crime scene so their life is ruined" type of get back. If he decides not to kill them.

Sebastian Valmont - Sebastian is the one buying you more hoe clothes. He loves your style and is not insecure. If either of you wanted someone else, you could go get them. But you two were practically made for each other. He wants to show you off. Is never going to be the type to try and dull your shine. He wants to walk into a room with you and have jaws drop from the deadly combination of the way you look together. He thrives off of seeing how much people want you. Knowing how futile it is. How hopeless. He pulls you tight into his side and grins like the devil himself (also, and this knowledge is of utmost importance, he cannot fight for shit.)

❥ my girl can wear whatever she want cus I’m scared of her ❥

Nathan Prescott - Is possessive, jealous and insecure enough to absolutely want you to change what you're wearing. With anyone else he'd even be bold enough to tell them to change. You are not anyone else, though. You are you. Considering every other behavior you tolerate from Nathan on a monthly, weekly, daily, and hourly basis you would snap on him like a twig if he tried to bring one more red flag on board. He knows this. You know this. When you slide on your low rise jeans and the tiniest crop top known to man, you make eye contact with one another in the mirror. He looks away first. You go back to peacefully fixing up your hair. Upside, no one is crazy enough to actually hit on you when you're at parties held on campus together. Which means Nathan won't have the cops called on him. Hooray!

Summary: Meeting your parents <3

˚₊‧꒰აTokyo Revengers.

𓍢ִ໋🌷͙֒ Fluff/Crush/Warning.

character : Sanzu, Chifuyu, Izana, Mikey, Emma,

Sanzu (Bonten)⋆｡° ✮

Sanzu is the number 2 of Bonten he's super duper famous and number one warning for the people. Sanzu is a man who slept with any ladies he lay his eyes on, he was the boogie man. Every parents worst nightmare in short.

Sanzu knows how strict your parents are from the way you dress around them. He doesn't like that his princess was listening to someone who isn't him.

He used to sneak into your room from open window when you're out, just to surprise you and steal something important to you of course.

The first time your parents see you two together... It was chaos, Sanzu was trying to flirt with you his hand on your thigh caressing it which lift your skirt up a bit, you were sitting on a concrete wall Sanzu inbetween your leg with an eye full of lust for your love. That's when your parents met him.

Your father bravely walk towards Sanzu thinking he was harassing you and punch him. Of course Sanzu was pissed off and pull out a gun and point it at your father, you stand infront of the gun and that when he found out this guy was your father.

Your mother would pull you by the arm as she was trying to drag you away since she was scared for your life. But Sanzu would yank you back into his arms as he hold you tightly one arm still holding the gun, at this point there was no escape for you, your father nor your mother. You guys were surrounded.

You somehow saved your whole family by literally saying that you'll date him, man... Your father is so ready to punch the soul out of Sanzu but if he does that you and your mother might die.

Ever since you dated Sanzu your life was bad and good to. Coming to your house whenever he please, making out and sex without any shame on how loud he was. Your father and mother hate this man with their whole soul.

Your house was protected 24/7 by gang members, Sanzu only wants you and if your parents show any big sign of disagreeing. To the basement they go, he's keeping them captive inorder to keep you in check and so that you'll never think of any other man but him.

Your parents are disappointed in themselves, their baby have to sacrifice inorder to keep them safe. There is sometimes when the whole family + Sanzu get along... It was on Christmas because Sanzu is always too busy to celebrate it with you... The only time they forget to hate him was when he was gone.

Your younger sibling/s love's Sanzu as well, Sanzu isn't the best person to be in a relationship with but the privilege this mother fucker can give you is... God tier privilege. Bonten control the police since y'know, no one is messing with non of your family since if you wanna live a normal life don't fuck with the number 2 of the most dangerous gang family. Your younger sibling/s would toy around with your man without a problem, Sanzu doesn't actually care that your sibling/s is using him as a prop for their shitty magic show, used him to test the kid makeup, he's up for tea party since Senju used to force him to have one and asking him for anything no matter the price.

"Chiyo! Chiyo! Tea party with me now!" Your sibling/s begged him as they were totally ready to have a tantrums if the rosy pink hair man say no. "Anything for my princess/prince" the rosy pink hair make reply jokingly, "Let's go! Sis! You better marry Chiyo!" The younger kid would yell as Sanzu would have the most smug smile ever. Your father is just standing there trying to make a plan to get rid of Sanzu.

Sanzu tried to win over your mother first, buying your mother a bouquet of flowers for valentine's day. Killing the lady who gossip about your mother since you're in a relationship with Sanzu, listening to gossip and talking shit with your mother together, hiring a maid for your mother since Sanzu doesn't want his Mother to stress herself. Sanzu actually treat your mother like how he treat his mother, any harsh word or if she ever get physical and hit him he'll take it without a single problem.

Your father still hate him no matter what, but he's at more ease knowing his little girl is gonna be in the hand of someone who could take care of them. He's trying so hard to be positive about you but everytime he thinks about it, he realised that Sanzu body count is too high and he's low-key hoping you don't catch a disease from Sanzu.

"Princess, stay for a while..." The Rosy pink hair male said as he wrap his arm around you as you sigh, "Haru... My sibling/s need to be wake up since my parents are out" you told him as a light chuckled escape from his mouth, "I know you two are in love but atleast have some shame around me" the little voice said that is definitely your sibling/s, "what the hell are you doing here?" Your eyes wide open from shock, your little sister/brother was sleeping beside Sanzu, "Got a nightmare last night... I tried to wake you up but Chiyo told me not to" your sibling/s told you as you start to realise Sanzu isn't that bad.

Chufuyu⋆｡° ✮

He's standing infront of the door of your house trembling and about one minute away from an anxiety attack. A bouquet of flowers in his hand as his cheek were tinted red.

As soon as your mother open the door the poor boy confidence leave your body completely. Politely gives the bouquet to your mother and asked to come inside, he's even more nervous to meet your father, the cold glance coming from your father was totally crushing Chifuyu dream of marrying you.

Since you weren't home Chifuyu was having a hard time trying to start a conversation, your little sibling/s asking the most absurd questions known to men kind, it felt like even your sibling/s was trying to break you two up by asking the most complected or embarrassing question, Fuyu would answer the most of the question without sounding rude.

"Why do you like My sister?" The little kid ask as Fuyu feel like this question could ruin his entire dream of marrying you. "Well... She's the only girl that makes me want to live forever with her" Fuyu reply with a nervous smile "Could been better" your sibling/s reply with the most bored look on their face as Fuyu blood left his body.

Your mother likes Chifuyu since she have saw his Fuyu treated you, he was respectful, protective and cute... Making sure you were okay and checking up on you anytime he wish, she's trying her best to convince your father that Fuyu is a good guy.

Your father doesn't like Fuyu for some reason the biggest being Fuyu is a delinquent. "So you're a delinquent...?" Your father ask him as he glare at the nervous boy "Yes..." Fuyu reply the poor boy soul was trembling inside... "Darling, Chifuyu is a good kid, he treat our Y/n like a princess" your mother whisper into your father ears with a wide smile. Fuyu thought your mother was literally taking shit about him.

When you finally arrived home you were soo happy to see the blonde boy in your house. You properly introduce him to your parents, praise and complement about the boy only seem to come out your mouth which make the nervous boy blush.

Chifuyu is the type of guy who is only soft around you and even in your own house he doesn't want to kiss you. Not because he's ashamed of you, it's that your father piercing cold glare at him make it harder to even breath your way.

Izana⋆｡° ✮

It's either it went horrible or the opposite.

Under the table Izana hand remain squeezing your thigh as he talk to your parents with the sweetest smile. Izana was good at looking pure and innocent, when ever Izana look at you to see you blushing he'll just have this sweet smile knowing that you were nervous but his hand would try to calm you down.

Izana would told them about how his mother out him at a foster home since she couldn't take care of him. Just telling him the most sad story of his to gain sympathy, he would purposely call your mother 'mom' and Apologise just for your mother to tell him it's fine. Guilt tripping is his speciality.

"Well my mother put me at foster home since she couldn't take care of me and my sister..." Izana told them as your mother eyes were full of pity and actually feeling bad for him. "Oh dear... I'm so sorry for you" your mother say as she look like she's about to cry "It's ok mom-" "I didn't mean to call you that miss... Just that you treat me like your son" Izana told as your mother took a deep sigh "You can call me mom to, I would love that dear" your mother was already accepting Izana as his son.

After dinner Izana would sit on your bed as you were still nervous, his eyes was only on you with a smug smile, "Princess, why are you so nervous?" His voice was low and calm as you look at him "Just that... My father is hard to get along with" you told him, Izana lightly pat your bed telling you to sit next to him and you did. He would suddenly pin you to the bed as his leg was inbetween yours, "Eh?! Wh-what are you doing...?" You ask him blushing red "Y'know sex is used to release stress, plus it'll be our first time".

In the morning you'll wake up fresh and way more better than yesterday, Izana was not in bed as you take a shower and went downstairs. Izana was cooking food by himself and it seem like no one is awake yet, he'll give you a kiss on the lip and offer you the food he cook.

Izana is very careful around your parents as well, he doesn't want his gang life to destroy such privilege he get from your parents. Shooting anyone who he thinks will rat out on him, Izana isn't afraid to kill anyone who gets in the way of his plan, it's either kaku kill them or Izana handle it himself.

Izana is a very busy man but always have time for you, he would take your sibling/s with him to gang meeting he only take them to the one where nothing would happen. He's spoiling your sibling/s and teaching them some fighting skill, but mostly Kaku would take care of them since he's the most calm and have common sense.

You're literally known as 'Tenjiku princess' you have no idea but you're under protection 24/7.

Izana treat your father with respect even tho sometimes he get pissed off by him, on the other hand he loved your mother and even call her mom most the time. If one approves the other one doesn't matter that's how Izana think.

Mikey⋆｡° ✮

Your whole family gonna have a new favourite when he come over.

Your mother treated him like his favourite son while your father treated him like how you'll treat a dumb kid. Mikey wouldn't shut up and publicly told everything your parents ask without any hesitation, he was being honest to which make your mother like him even more than before.

Of course your sibling/s knows about the 'invisible mikey' but they had no idea you were his girlfriend. They totally freak out and stay inside their room thinking about the worst scenario while texting their friends about it.

Whenever your mother goes out she'll always bring home a dorayaki pack them in a cute box and told you to give it to your boyfriend. She really didn't even buy you one and told you not to eat it unless Mikey told you to.

Every family outing your parents would ask Mikey to come as well since he's apart of the family... They're really hoping you marry him, for Mikey your family was a second family of his where he can enjoy life with his parents. Since his father and mother are never in his life he sees your parents as a mother and father figure, he's always eager to be around your family.

The whole Sano family and yours celebrate Christmas and Thanksgiving together. It was really fun as well, Emma and you talking while Mikey and your sibling/s were doing their things.

"Baby... Your mother doesn't allow me to eat too much can you pursue her to get rid of that rule, please?" Mikey would ask you with a puppy eyes as you look at him shock "Mikey... When did you start listening to someone about your eating habits... Especially about your dorayaki addiction?" You ask him as lazily roll around your soft bed and groan. Mikey won't even listen to you if it's about his dorayaki addiction and for him to listen to your mom was insane, they have known eachother for one month only mean while you've known him for years...

Whenever he eat, your mother would put a flag on his food so he would eat it and if she forgets your father would put his favourite football/soccer team flag instead. Your mother would buy little flag for each food cause it's aesthetic, for rice she'll put Japan flag, for desert he'll put a dorayaki flag which she specifically ordered for, etc.

Mikey actually is very good at controlling his impulse around you and your family.

The whole neighborhood never mess with your family again cause their son (daughter boyfriend) is Mikey. Every parents with children around the age of 10-18 knows how scary this kid is, Mikey was always the main topic of gossip no matter the subject. But, not even thief that steal from everyone just skip your house since that's Mikey territory.

Emma⋆｡° ✮

She would wear the most appropriate and cutest dress/outfit she could find or go shopping. She doesn't want your parents to view her as a whore and she just think first impression is important.

Your mother and father adore her as she was super nice and soft towards you, Emma would hold your hand the entire time not to tight or loose. It was as she was ready to hold you tightly if you ever fly upwards towards the heaven.

Your sibling/s being a bitch would hate Emma at first since a white haired man told him that she had almost fuck a guy. They felt as though that Emma was using you to lose her virginity as she wish, at first they would lock themselves in their room and think of a plan to broke you two and make you hate Emma.

Whenever Emma come over your sibling/s would lock themselves up in the room and listen to the conversation between you and Emma sometimes. Your mother thought it was weird but she pay no attention to such small details.

One time you find a condom in her bag by accident and your heart almost sink to the bottom of your heart. But, it was weird since you have gone through her bag before today and it wasn't that long since Emma ask for you to give her a lipstick. So, how did a condom magically spond out of nowhere, and you realise your sibling/s. It's good to say someone got beaten up by mom.

Emma would buy fruits and flowers for you and your mother would put those flowers in a jar full of water, set it up in her small garden of flowers and whenever you miss Emma you'll sit next to those flowers.

Ping-Pong The Animation: eps 1-3

So Masaaki Yuasa [AN12, AN28, AN150] can do no wrong, right? OK, well, I'll admit Ride Your Wave was kinda mid, and Devilman Crybaby goes hard as hell at the beginning and end but sorta treads water in the middle, but... generally speaking! No-one does it like Yuasa.

For reasons I don't really remember, I didn't get very far watching Ping-Pong The Animation some years ago. It should be entirely my shit: Yuasa pulling in a gang of wildly creative animators to put their unique spin on something. However, the first episode didn't entirely hook me, and I never got round to trying the second before something else punted 'watching Ping Pong' out of my brain. ADHD, y'know.

This is a shame because even the very next episode seriously goes, as does the one after that. But also this anime isn't entirely what I was expecting (crazy sakugafest full of Yuasa weirdness). Not to say it doesn't do a lot of really unique stuff with its cinematography and animation, but these first episodes at least are more about like... dissociation! ennui!

But more on that in a mo. First I wanna continue the thread of 'how do you animate sports'.

So, ping-pong, or table tennis. Not a sport I know much about, I'll be honest. (To be fair I don't know a lot about sports in general outside of some very specific niches. The sports I've pursued so far are rather eclectic: swimming, fencing, tai chi chuan, and roller derby; I never got particularly far in any and it's been years since I've done them.)

I'll inevitably be drawing a lot of comparisons to The First Slam Dunk, the other sports anime I've watched recently. I do think it's a productive comparison though! Both of them bring something of the visual language of manga into their presentation in unique ways. I have not yet read the Ping Pong manga, but it's by Taiyō Matsumoto, otherwise known for scifi manga like Tekkonkinkreet (god tier movie, still need to read the manga) and Number Five. So that's a pretty impressive track record!

If you go take a look at some scans of Ping Pong, what will immediately jump out is the shaky, rough line style and unusual camera angles and compositions.

The stylisation is also very different from a lot of manga. Noses are fully drawn, eyes are realistically small, and in contrast, lips and mouths tend to get the emphasis - as well as hands.

Knowing this makes a lot of the creative choices in the anime make sense! It also adopts a shaky lineart style, and makes use of heavy line weights and spotting blacks to add definition. It also has a lot of crazy closeups and layouts, and it loves a visual metaphor. But most of all, the most striking element of this anime is how often it loves to split the picture up into little panels...

...which [eli]'s subs do a really good job of typesetting, incidentally, moving the dialogue to fit naturally into the split composition. And while this shot with 7 smaller shots is perhaps on the extreme end, splits of three or more are pretty frequent. It's a really interesting way to evoke the effect of seeing a whole page of manga

So, as you proooobably know, ping-pong is a game of bouncing balls off a little table and directing them into places the opponent will find it hard to hit them back. From watching this anime I picked up that there are a number of styles of holding the racket (e.g. 'penhold grip' and 'shakehand') and approaches to hitting the ball (e.g. 'chopping'). A lot of this pretty much went over my head, but honestly it didn't matter, since the narrative significance was pretty much always evident.

Compared to basketball, though, ping-pong is a pretty tricky sport to make visually interesting! Sure, you have the players running to and fro, and that can lead to some interesting poses, but how do you get the drama and tension into this?

Ping-pong additionally is all 2D, it doesn't have the sort of resources that Toei could throw at making the best looking 3DCG basketball game ever. It is limited to a TV-feasible drawing count. So it has to make use of clever limited-animation tricks to get the most impact out of fewest drawings.

Let's take an example sequence from episode 3. A minor character is about to get his ass kicked by Tsukimoto. Tsukimoto is something of a pingpong prodigy, and yet he is very emotionally closed-off and even standoffish; he doesn't particularly seem to like the game very much, and doesn't particularly feel inclined to flex on other players and get into the status games. But other players, like Wenge, have heard about him and want to see what he's got.

First we have the setup. Other characters are observing and discussing the game. Since ping-pong tends to involve very rapid exchanges, it can follow the classic shōnen model where there's a lot of talking, flashy fight sequence, more talking...

The cut happens in two steps, maintaining the vertical dividing line. This approach to cutting is used a lot in Ping-Pong, and it's quite a creative way to keep visual interest when it's using a lot of largely static shots. The panel on the right is more animated than the panel on the left, a naturalistic depiction of bouncing the ball off the table.

Things start moving faster here. A rapid pan on the image on the left disguises the fact that this anticipation pose is actually not moving at all. This then goes into a rapid, explosive moment as this guy serves.

The final pose is held for a couple of seconds while the voiceover line discussing his intended move finishes. This sort of elasticity of time is a very Osamu Dezaki type of move - it's something that Hayao Miyazaki and Isao Takahata actually really disliked.

A sound effect hits as Tsukimoto appears on the right in silhouette, anticipating his reaction, and setting up the next shot which leaves the split picture and hides the background for just a moment, as if to put us in Tsukimoto's shoes: he only sees the ball.

Tsukimoto follows through and holds this pose - the ball is the only thing moving here. The ball moves mainly on 2s while Tsukimoto moves on 3s and 2s, and he and the ball move on alternating frames. He holds the pose as the ball zips off to the right (bouncing off the corner of the table), with a speed lines-like effect. At the end of the shot, the ball freezes in the air for the moment while the sound echoes.

The actual table-tennis round lasts just seconds, and the drawing count involved is pretty minimal, but it does a lot with those drawings.

We go back to voiceovers and reactions in the next few shots, returning to the split video as Tsukimoto's opponent thinks about how he'd really rather be at the beach...

Often, these comic-like compositions will change one panel at a time, and while one panel is animated another panel will be still, naturally moving your eyes across the screen. It is an approach similar to some experiments I've seen in 'animated comics' viewed in a web browser, where the panels do not appear all at once, but enter with some animation.

So this is the sort of animation technique that Ping Pong uses. It's effective! Elsewhere the cuts are used in a less direct, continuity-editing way and more in a juxtaposition/montage way. For example, Wenge's desire to return to China is symbolised by match cutting/fading to shots of an aeroplane.

And there is a recurring image, which I'm sure will be expanded on, of Tsukimoto hiding in a cupboard and wishing for a tokusatsu hero to come save him from his isolation. As Tsukimoto's feelings about himself change, the toku hero is replaced by a robot. At this points it starts to feel like an outright Ikuhara anime.

There is occasionally a little bit of CG, mainly when Tsukimoto uses a different type of racket surface, and the way the ball and racket make contact is the crucial thing that the shot is trying to convey...

It gets the job done, but I'm glad they stuck with 2D for most of it.

So I went in the first time expecting like, crazy elaborate sakuga - and to be fair, the OP, animated by none other than Shinya Ohira, delivers on that front - but if anything what I've seen so far in Ping-Pong is actually a triumph of storyboarding and limited animation techniques. I think back then I didn't have the eyes to appreciate it in the same way.

OK, that's the film nerd stuff, but what about the story? Ping Pong follows two school friends, Makoto Tsukimoto aka "Smile" (right), and Yutaka Hoshino aka "Peco" (left). Smile is defined by a flat affect and a standoffish persona. He's just going through the motions. He's very good at ping-pong, but to him it's just a way to pass time, and he's scornful about the idea of caring all that much about it. Much like Shinji with his casette player, Tsukimoto is pretty much always staring at a handheld games console rather than make eye contact with anyone.

Peco on the other hand is the more childish one - playful, kinda arrogant, very much an 'emotions on his sleeve' kinda guy. He sulks when he loses and gloats when he wins, and is constantly seen with bubblegum or other kinds of candy. He provides a lot of our commentary when he chats with the other players.

日本語上手 readers probably noticed the tsuki (moon) vs hoshi (star) symbolism thing they've got going on here!

High-school table tennis in this story seems to be a rather 'tough love' kinda world. Most of these players tend to look down on those who can't meet their level. Going easy on someone is seen as weakness, or cultivating bad habits, by almost everyone. Tsukimoto doesn't play at his full potential because he isn't as invested in winning as all these weirdos, but it seems that might be starting to change...

The coach is interesting. He's an old man and fairly disdainful of the club at large, and prone to speaking English randomly with a heavy accent. But he gets excited at the prospect of getting Tsukimoto to unleash his full potential, in terms that are repeatedly metaphorically compared to romance/marriage.

And when Tsukimoto gets sick of it, he challenges him to a game, with the stakes as...

Cue Makima/Beatrice images here I guess.

Tsukimoto de facto wins when the coach collapses, but this episode marks a change of heart. He starts to think of himself as a robot - the affect of a robot replacing the affect of the toku hero in his fantasy. And in this way he does what people seem to want and plays ping pong with mechanical precision, expressed once again in visual metaphor (shot here from a cool transformation sequence)...

What if I just dissociate harder? This is gonna end well.

So it really is one of those kind of like 'ennui of being a teenager' kind of stories - c.f. say FLCL. 'Boy with complicated emotional landscape' is Yuasa bread and butter, but the particular variant here seems a little unusual for him - they tend to be a little more earnest. I'm curious to see how Tsukimoto develops.

I am definitely enjoying the arrogant Chinese player Kong Wenge. Dude's got a lot of screen presence, and while I'm sure he'll get shown up sooner or later, he makes for a very fun antagonist of sorts.

In comparison to Slam Dunk... one thing that's significantly different about table tennis is that it's an individual rather than a team sport, which means it's harder to have an ensemble cast all contributing to the protagonists' eventual victory - instead it's about a lot of individual arcs interweaving with each other, individual duels. Besides that, it does seem like it will be following a similar arc of a character in an emotional hole (grief for Ryota, depression for Tsukimoto) finding new meaning and purpose through sports - though I can't be sure how things are gonna go for Tsukimoto here!

The tone however is quite different. Even when it's silly, I feel like Slam Dunk is a very sincere story. There's little detachment or irony, or false consciousness - with perhaps the major exception of Ryota's mother, who lets her own grief and trauma get in the way of understanding her son. But ultimately 'why would you care this much about basketball' is not a question that anyone would ask in Slam Dunk. Even the judo guy in the manga who's trying to recruit Sakuragi is just as hot-blooded about his own sport of choice.

There's a difference in like, general affect about the players as well, which has something to do with the sport itself. Yeah, Sakuragi's superpower is his 'genius' ability to predict rebounds, and there is plenty of strategising in Slam Dunk - but basketball is still a sport that very much emphasises physical power, and as much as Slam Dunk will work hard to sell you on a clever trick pass, the visuals are also emphasising the speed that players are dashing, the height they're jumping, their physique. Table tennis by contrast seems to be a sport that's more about prediction and mind games.

That said it is equally just like Matsumoto's style being different from Inoue's. Now I know it's by the guy who wrote Tekkonkinkreet, a lot about this series falls into place! There's a sense of tension here, of being fundamentally at odds with the world. The autismfeels. This is reflected also in the drawings - the characters don't entirely seem comfortable in their embodiment.

So if that's what I'm getting from just three eps, I'm very excited to see what the remaining 8 have to offer. This series is probably too long to cram into Animation Night format, but we'll see...

Listing fucked up shit that happened in BoBoiBoy, purely from memory (so details maybe fuzzy or I'm over-exaggerating):

1. At the start of the series, he literally got his powers at the age of like, 10. HE'S A BABY

2. The Second Tiers manifestations:

2.A. Halilintar got manifested after being seperated from the other elements and getting tortured via balloon poppings.

2.A.1. The fact that Adudu practically brainwashed him into joining his side after the fact.

2.A.2. Additionally, the fact that the massive drawback to BoBoiBoy's elemental split is the fact that he slowly loses his memories and gets amnesia? Fucked. Up.

2.B. Angin got upgraded to Taufan by getting DRUGGED via potion(?) enhanced cookies. Bro literally got into an acid trip and almost destroyed his town as he's promoting those cookies

2.C. Gempa manifested after having watched all of his friends NEARLY DIE and feeling helpless about the situation because he wasn't strong enough. DUDE–

3. The fact that Fire manifested as a STRESS COPING MECHANISM. OMG

4. Getting back to the getting drugged part, yeah, remember that episode when the gang got zapped by an emotion amplifier ray gun? It pretty much works the same way as the potion thing that happened Taufan

5. ONTO THE MOVIE, OH MY GOD THE MOVIE

5.A. Honestly, because of that, if there ever was like, a subplot, where Ochobot asks BoBoiBoy to take a rest and he refuses because of his crippling hero complex. I would get 'Nam flashbacks

6. To be honest I don't remember much about the movie actually, though I do vaguely remember that he got blasted into space and nearly froze to death? Or was that BBB Galaxy? Or both?

7. Fuck, wasn't he forced to fight Fang because of Kaizo and nearly died in the series finale?

8. For BBBG S1, I don't actually remember much aside from the season finale

9. Oh, but that timeloop episode got me tripped up like crazy. That is my NIGHTMARE scenario

10. And fuck, don't get me started on episode 14. Watching Hali show up again after so long was like watching an angel descend from heaven.

11. But the fact that he was flickering from his normal form to Hali in blinks and flashes, seeing him pushing himself to his absolute limit felt heartbreaking

12. Onto, BBB Movie 2

13. AAAAHHHHHH, THEY GOT SUCKED AWAY

14. BRO, WHEN I SAW SOLAR DISINTEGRATING INTO DUST I GOT SO WORRIED. LIKE WHAT WOULD HAPPEN TO THE REST OF THEM, HE'S PART OF BOBOIBOY HIMSELF, WHAT DO YOU MEAN HE'S NOW GONE????

15. Near death counter gets added several times here, like it isn't high enough already

And this is where I'll stop, since I haven't started on BBB Galaxy S2 yet (the comics or the now animated BBB Sori)
