This is by far my favourite video from you. I heard you mention somewhere that the next upload was going to take a while but i wasnt expecting 4 hours. Thats dedication to the craft man, great job, and great video. Also shout out to your dog bro.
Absolute legend for this dude!!!!!!❤
He’s really pushing that 10 minute mark huh
As an environmental artist, I will love the fuck out of this video. Thank you for taking the time out of your life to make this. Keep up the hard work ma man
@@adamok3811 check out Derek Domnic D'souza. He has an art course the focuses on it. it's pretty good
@@adamok3811 Hi! There are lots of great sources. You can look at ctrl+paint (free lessons on painting), Kalen Chock livestreams on youtube on simplifying and background design, Marco Bucci videos on color and value. Tyler Edlin has some great info too
@@adamok3811I want in! Been doing digital art for close to 20 years but I’ve never managed to grasp environmental art, even though it‘s one of the most fascinating subjects to me
feel this
So you make art out of grass and moss and snakeskin and honeycombs and stuff? That’s pretty badass brotha man
This was so amazing to watch, please keep doing what you do! Like another commenter said, it feels wrong to watch this video for free. I hope everyone can appreciate the amount of research, editing, and passion this took to make ❤
YO! 50!? You insane person! Lol thank you so much the appreciation means a lot!
@@InternetPitstop Bro, this amount of work is worth more than $50, hope you make a ton of moolahhh
It feels so warm and emotional to watch a person praising and complimenting and just genuinely LOVING something almost five hours straight. And all this anime background art and its artists truly deserve it.
The most wholesome and affectionate video I've ever seen, thank you!
Bro, what an achievement, thank you for giving this to the world ❤
you can tell this video took a long period of time and a lot of hard work to make by how IP's hair grows incredibly long in some scenes, and then suddenly goes short in others
@@greyfox4838LMAO i just noticed
Bro got samurai jackified 💀💀💀💀
4 hours? Sigh that’s light work
I’ll take your stuff seriously if it’s 9 hours
@@WhizPill the video itself is 4 hrs long but the making for it took months
@@WhizPilland what 9 hour video have you made 😂
When I tell you how I squealed with joy when my husband said you uploaded, it really made the rest of the day go so quickly. We got home from work, ate our dinner, and immediately ran to the couch to watch this masterpiece. We are at the 2:42:57 mark. Sadly, we'll have to pause to sleep, but excitedly, we'll be able to finish tomorrow night 🥰 we love ya! We appreciate all your hard work and can't wait to finish the rest of this amazing video 🎉
Yo that’s so cool that yall watch my vids together that’s so wholesome haha I’m happy to be your guys comfort watch during that time! Appreciate the love!
As an artist and long time anime lover, what a comforting and informative video on a subject I have _never_ seen someone tackle before. As soon as I saw the title I was like "Holy shit, I've never heard anyone talk about this topic. 5 hours? Sign me up"
Edit: your use of _Skyward_ Sword music combined with your explanation of the castle floating into the sky (1:20:07) was not lost on me. Seeing the love you put into this video and it's narrative, I doubt this was a coincidental choice!
Thank you for catching the thematic music connection lol
The art itself is beautiful, but your commentary adds such a heart evoking appreciation for everything that you come across. You encapsulate some of the feelings one can only experience through how passionate you go into depth over even the smaller things. Especially since you approach things more like someone who's talking to a friend than a textbook essay, in my opinion at least. If anything concerning art catches my interest, you'd be the first person I'd think of to listen to speak about it. Thank you so much for the time you put into these, you're a cool internet dude
I love the fact that you spoke about "Heidi a girl of the alps"!!!
As a german kid growing up this anime was one that almost all kids had seen and the general calmness of the anime as well as the beautiful environments were absolutely beautiful and i'm very sad that we can't have such simply beautiful and calm shows for children anymore
Man... this is amazing. I'm only just getting up to the 2000s and I felt like this was something I shouldn't be watching for free lol. Really appreciate the work you've done here my guy. The passion is felt as always!!! Thank you
Just wanted to say that placed hollow Knight music so well. It fits perfectly, especially with Angel's egg cause it's pretty much city of tears
I'm so happy mushishi was mentioned..it's literally one of my favorite anime and part of the reason was the background art and how it went with the ost to give this surrealistic melancholic vibe, which I appreciate the series for. Thank you for such an insightful video
You madlad. You really did it.
I just discovered you, when you said you were working on this longer video. I have nothing but appreciation for you, for seeing it through. Your content is such a "hidden" gem here on youtube. Thank you!
Hello Jesse Pinkman
3 days later and I’ve finally finished this video, and that ending saying goodbye to Shichiro Kobayashi and him saying we can meet him in the worlds he’s created god damn.
You’ve done something special here man. I know it’s been said a hundred times already but congrats on finishing this beast of a video, and you should be super proud of what you put together 🫶🏼
Thank you man I worked super hard on weaving his story to get to that ending so I really appreciate you pointing that out!
@@InternetPitstop it worked like a fucking charm man! And hit me like a tonne of bricks.
Makes me want to start writing some videos from a hard hitting ending point and work backwards
Usually i finish these in the exact time as the vid, but i got old, late teens, but its not what it used to be
this video was like a curated tour through anime's history.
hearing someone talk about stuff i care about so passionately, and so many new recommendations is dope.
I've barely touched stuff from before the 90's besides ghibli so I'm happy to add so much stuff to my watch list.
I've been working in animation, both anime and western stuff, for a while, and knowing the non-industry audience can care so much about this sort of stuff is genuinely pretty inspiring.
I know the lineage of animators fairly well, but next to nothing about background artists aside from the most well known examples like Kazuo Oga. Really cool to learn about these artists.
Great video, and Laputa is also my favorite ghibli movie.
As an artist I really appreciate this video because I’m trying to get into doing background art myself, and this video really helped me figure out what style I would like to do in the future and what amazing artist I can learn from to achieve the goal. Even though this video did take me two days to finish😅it was worth it.✨💖💖
See, videos like this and content creators like you, THAT'S what CZcams should be about! There is so much trash on this platform but this channel is a damn gem shining through all of it!
Im sayinnnn real work not this 6min videos. I need to grab some food from the mall teriyaki chicken and white rice and chill inside watching this
It's wild, I was *just* thinking about this topic yesterday. Some 90's anime will have a budget of ¥27 and a coughdrop, yet they always hit it out of the park when it comes to backgrounds.
And then you have the opposite end of the spectrum, like Akira, which if the entire film was just two hours of backgrounds, it would still be a must-watch.
I have been bed ridden with covid and i probably watched this video 6 times, what a banger absolute masterpiece 💯, you're blessing us every time with incredible work and creativity 💓
get well soon
Your music choices are a huge part of how invested I feel watching this video, you have PHENOMENAL taste
This is also just an incredibly thorough and well researched/documented chronology of sick anime, plenty that I’d never even heard of before too - fantastic job dude:) Animation is such an evocative medium and it’s so cool to see someone else talk about how much the vibes impact them
So glad to see people appreciating Castle in the Sky. It's my favorite ghibli movie, and I honestly think it has some of the most profound visuals. It made me into who I am today and had such an effect on my love for ancient cities, architecture, and nature.
Will save this gem for later! I can't fathom how long this took, hence, on the behalf of the community.. Thank you for putting out these bangers, they are truly something special in this day and age thats riddled with low quality short form content
Much respect for helping our bro
You earned my respect
Same
I didn’t know how much my soul needed this video. As an artist I needed to see this video. Several moments gave me chills and you described the artwork as you showed it. Truly a one of a kind video experience my friend!
I was so happy when you mentioned the anime "Future Boy Conan". This anime is loved by many in the middle east, like it was THE anime that I used to watch with my family. Everyone knows it and everyone loves it and therefore I was yearning the whole time for you to mention it, because it truly deserve its place here. Its an interesting anime with an amazing story that i will never stop loving. It truly was ahead of its time !!!
man, as much as I love animation, I'm so happy someone is as interested to make a 4 hour essay on just the subject of background. Thank you for respecting the work of all of these animators and the Animation medium
Your goal of making the most aesthetically pleasing chill video was achieved. You also gave me and the rest of the viewers some AWESOME recommendations! Impeccable work IP 👏🏻💖🙏🏻
Thank you!
4 hours? Sigh that’s light work
I’ll take your stuff seriously if it’s 9 hours
@@WhizPillgood for you buddy
I’ve finally made my full way through this masterpiece of a video (I’ve been watching a little bit day by day) thank you IP for all the work you put into this. It’s a really special video and labor of love
I listened to this while making scenario sprites for my next indie game. I peeked at the video a lot, too. So inspiring! I also love when someone talks about Lodoss War, because I like it so much, and so few people know about it.
When I was little, I had yet to discover anime but I remember being obsessed with the backgrounds of my favorite animated kid's shows. Backgrounds are surprisingly involved. Take a character's bedroom for instance. What can we tell about them from the mess (or lack of mess) in the room? What are their toys like? Their books? I can't think of Cardcaptor Sakura's house without thinking about her cute alarm clock or her stuffed animal collection. As a kid, I would draw highly detailed backgrounds to give my characters all the things they would need to be comfortable. It sounds strange, but I wanted my backgrounds to nurture my characters. I still cannot watch a show or play a video game without taking a moment simply to appreciate the environment.
4 HOUR VIDEO LETS GOOOO
What is fascinating for me is that, as someone who grew up in Austria, out of all the Animation depicting the Alps, and just the rough area I grew up in, Heidi does it the best. Hells, I grew up on the series. It is fascinating that someone living on the other side of the planet, in a completey disconnected culture, can grasp what the Alps mean, the Heart of them, and put them to screen better than any animation before or after it.
VOICES OF A DISTANT STAR!!!! I saw this when I was young and forgot the name of it, years ago I tried looking it up online but got no results so I gave up and forgot about it UNTIL YOU SHOWED THOSE BACKGROUNDS it all came back. Memory unlocked bro thank you so so somuch! 😭
as an italian i have to say that Marco absolutely nails 1800s Genoa, it's clearly based on the descriptions in the novel and the research is amazing. I believe this experience was also very important to myazaki for the making of Porco Rosso, where, even without the same accuracy in the architecture and landscapes because of his onirical style, he's able to immortalize the general vibe perfectly
THIS IS GONNA BE THE BEST VIDEO EVER omg i cannot wait to stew on this and see where this 4 hour journey is gonna take me!
this is KILLER effort and patience dude, inspiring as hell. i also want to say, THANK YOU thank you so much for using music from Okamiden specifically 😭❤
that game does NOT get enough love, seems like most ppl either pretend it doesnt exist, or just dont know about it. Yakushi Village esp fit so well where u used it, that game's ost absolutely belongs here. okami fans rejoice!!
EDIT ok actual mention of a background... if i dont see the Inuyasha outro bg with Sesshomaru looking into the distance where his father's armor stands... dang that would be a tragic miss
thank you so much! And awww im sorry I actually tried to avoid using bgs from openings and endings for the most part sorry about that
@@InternetPitstop bro with the awwws lol thats my thing from like 2010
Wow... It is pretty wild how quickly anime started to set itself apart and get super creative with the scenary... Really impresive realy... Wow
After a couple of weeks I have to say this is one of the best CZcams videos I've ever seen, this is what CZcams should always be and have been. Just passion about a topic, you can feel all the work behind the making of this, all the research. In the middle of all the reaction channels and the low effort content this shines as light of hope and true passion for CZcams. A very high quality content.
I watch anime since I was a toddler, I'm 29 now and watching this I learned a lot about the series and movies that I have seen along those years in a way I didn't expect, thanks for giving tribute to the people behind anime, thanks for make me apreciate anime in a new way.
Thanks bro.
The music you are choosing to pair up with each anime is 10/10. I especially loved the use of Pokemon Colloseum for Trigun
I just wanted to say I recently starting working for a studio. Your video has inspired me and sparked an admiration for something I have never been able to put to words. The energy that comes from these spaces with the music scope that you have created is absolutely beautiful. It's funny that you have made so many different works of art seem like just a stop on a long and ongoing narrative that feels so human and so expressive. The video may be 5 hours, but it still doesn't feel long enough. I just want to linger in these spaces, sitting for just a moment until I am ready to come back up for air. Thank you, you've inspired me to continue learning and probably taking some art classes to try and recreate these works.
That’s awesome man! Keep it up!
Can't we just like a video twice? There should be a super like or something for this kind of video
Im still in the middle of watching this, but I just want to show my appreciation to you for showing off all these gorgeous anime backgrounds and giving a little trivia here and there! I'm super into the 80's/90's anime style and it's fun to learn about the earlier decades and the styles evolving 💜 I love your videos! You're so chill yet super passionate about the topics you talk about, it's really nice to see!
I‘ve been anticipating this moment and I‘m going to enjoy every second of it
An almost 5 hour long documentary on anime backgrounds starting with Nujabes is most def gonna be good
Absolutely insane video. Just wild stuff man. This rules, and I’m so glad more and more people have been finding your channel.
I work 2 jobs and don't have alot of time my hands, it took me 6 days to finish this and it was well worth it. I appreciate your dedication and passion for what you bring to us.
Mr. Pitstopperson, it took me a couple days to finish this video, but my god, it was well worth it. This video fully encapsulates the EXACT type of passion and vibe that built CZcams from the ground up, and you should be proud to have this as part of your body of work! Thank you for shining a light on an oft forgotten--but very necessary!--part of the art we love to watch. Cheers, mate! I'm excited to see what you upload next 😁
(Also ur music choices here keep making my nostalgia ascend, so thank you as well for the quality bg soundtrack lol)
Dude I’m like 30 mins in and can feel the passion, I’ve been considering making content on my own and this inspired me. I thank you my bro
Genuinely proud of myself that, like Lain, I managed to watch this video all the way through to 3 AM. I don’t regret a minute of it because it was so lovely and engaging, and I love IP so much - his humor and passion and god tier anime takes are so great.
And now I’m off to sleep, so thank you for the forehead kiss and the extremely in depth look at all the brilliant background art brodie.
1:16:00, Porco imprinted on me. I just love how it tells a proper story without taking itself too seriously. The color choices slay me every time. The fact that the mc is a mustachioed pig that flies planes is just the cherry on top. :D Thank you for making such a cool video.
Half-way through. Loving it so far. Your thoughts on the anime and what the backgrounds mean and all the little story bits you put in is enchanting. I really am taking my time with this one. Looking up people you mention and always rewinding to rehear your musings.
I love how this video tries to imbue a specific atmosphere and vibe for each decade being talked about. I'm watching this video in chunks and every time I return it feels like I'm in a different era and taking a rest in this very cozy room. You're living up to your channel name.
Love you, Internet Pitstop. Every time you upload is a joy, your edits are so inspiring, and you are a legend. Thanks for everything, the world is lucky to have you.
I'm literally working in animation right now and our background teams never get enough credit for the amazing work they do. I'm sure they would appreciate the spotlight like this.
The influence that many of these backgrounds and aesthetics had on live-action cinema is really cool too. Probably my favorite example is how Cowboy Bebop was largely inspired by Blade Runner, but then went on to have its art direction be influential to Blade Runner's reboot, and then finally coming full circle and having Shinichiro Watanabe (Bebop's director) truly get his flowers by directing first an OVA and then a full anime series set in the blade runner universe.
Tight transitions and pacing that gave everything adequate room in our minds.... A perfectly curated auditory landscape that sent chills down my spine (not to mention using songs whose titles thematically fit?)... An analysis of each work based solely on it's background art and how the story is told through that art is such a raw and unique video topic. It demonstrates a real love for the art form, represents niche works combined with the more popular, and discusses them in a way that makes me not only want to watch every show on this list, but makes me confront the love and talent behind the plot and characters. You've got such a keen eye for varied aesthetics and present them in such a cozy way. No criticism as is the nature in the video essay DNA, just love and admiration. You've seriously made me think differently about art. Every one of your uploads is great, but this has got to be your best work. Incredibly well done. Now time to go watch some anime!
Thank you so much! And yes I spent a lot of damn time finding songs to thematically fit the series lol
Straight up, I’m just commenting to help out the algorithm. Been following you for a while now brother, and everything you produce is made with such care and love. I hope you feel proud for the monument you created, and know that I’ll be doing my small part to help share it with the world. You’re a beast my guy ❤
I know I'm kinda late. But I absolutely love the music connections you do in the whole video. Connections to games, other media, it all connects so beautifully, that you are bound to notice. Hollow Knight is one of my favourite games, and your inclusion of it's music is magical. The toxic jungle section in Nausica pairing up with the fungal wastes is so impactful. Of course, Angel's Egg is obvious, but you still made it so impactful. Ya'harguls music in Berserk's eclipse is so so good. True respect, it shows not only your commitment to your passion, but the vast way you're able to express yourself. That's art.
Almost 5h long doesn't matter when it comes to the impact that this video had on me. This whole legacy of anime backgrounds is so inspiring. Also I can't belive that you were able to find unique way to explain backgrounds of all these titles without constantly repeating yourself. Huge thanks for this video. Keep it up
Your videos always bring me back to the pure passion and admiration I've had ever since first starting to get into the medium around 10 years ago when I was 11-12yo and still in primary school. That absolute joy and wonder that I had experienced throughout highschool by getting deeper and deeper into everything that manga and anime had to offer. Thank you.
Fellow Laputa lad here ✋ Man… this video is Outstanding, love that you talk about each chapter with such passion. Keep up the good and obvious time consuming work ❤
I've rarely seen a 4hr+ video and not only committed to watching it, but watched it for multiple days, and when I reached the end it made me not only tear up a little, but made me re-evaluate what I'm doing with my life
i just wanna say this video is the reason i passed finals. the whole time i was working on essays and i was watching this i kept thinking “if you can put your heart and soul into this than i can write one essay” i hope you know this video isn’t lost on us at all. thank you pitstop ❤
The care you put into this video is insane. Not only do you provide such thorough analysis, but your editing as well deserves its own praise. You could have easily just kept the green screen cut out in the corner, but you moved it to fit the context of certain backgrounds and even put a BUBBLE OVER YOUR HEAD when you were underwater. Your passion for creating videos is evident.
Also got to mention your music choices. Such an amazing selection from a variety of media, and you paired each anime with background music that pair perfectly with the themes you discuss.
Like I already said, your passion is evident. Keep up the incredible work!
You wouldn't believe how many times I've checked your channel to make sure Papa CZcams didn't forget to notify me when you dropped this masterpiece. No lie, I checked on Friday and here we are on Sunday and it's finally arrived! Congrats on the accomplishment and i can't wait for more in the future, keep doing what you're doing bro you're great 😩👌💕
Ok ok! So as someone who grew up with Heidi and spent some time in Scandinavia and Italy, both Heidi and 3000 Leagues are just phenomenal when it comes to capturing the feeling of those respective locales.
3000 Leagues, specifically. Does such a wonderful job of capturing coastal Italy. Holy cow. The way the towns climb the hills toward the skyline. The way the alleys twist and turn and you can almost smell the mustiness of the darkened corners that have existed in shadow for centuries. What really got me was that one shot of the hanging laundry. But it wasn’t the laundry that caught my attention (and my nostalgia). It was the building in the background. That combination. Of cracked, stuccoed building with salt-worn green shutters. That’s so quintessential Italian coast to me. Ghibli did an incredible job on the details in 3000 Leagues especially.
(I’m very blessed to have been able to spend such time in such beautiful locations, and have such happy memories of it.)
I didn't know I needed a video like this, but I'm glad you've brought this to life. Niche shit like this gives me life
I’ve never felt such a sense of nostalgia as heavy as when I watched this young men’s videos. You deserve like three mil subscribers not just because I like you, but because of the way that you’ve made me feel as a man from the 90s, I know almost all of us feel this way.
Thank you for this video! Background art is so beautiful and goats like Shichiro Kobayashi should be household names in animation so thank you for sharing your appreciation for his work :)
1:42:50 -> thank you so much for using the Pyrite's theme! (Pokemon Colosseum)!
A true fella of culture ;)
I'm so freaking proud of you I've been here since the beginning and watching this video for the past 4 days straight as I either wake up or go to sleep has been a joy going through a difficult time again I needed this so much information and knowledge that you possess do your constant studying once I find a job I'm sure to donate to your patreon keep up the good work for the people that need this like Oxygen please keep up the research and studying and making cool videos and your co-host was perfect.
This has actually been one of your best videos yet. It’s just truly phenomenal & so serene at times, the background music matches the visuals on screen so well it’s mesmerizing, honestly I don’t know how to put how much I appreciate this one into words. It’s just perfect fr. Keep doing what you’re doing IP, much love from all of us
I really hope this video pops off for you. You deserve it after putting in this much work I cannot imagine the hours you put in😂
I literally gasped when I saw this was an almost 5 hour video about anime backgrounds. That's an instant subscribe. I'm only like an hour in and I can't believe there's so much more. This is like going to a dinner expecting a cup of grocery store pudding and getting creme brulée instead. This is the yummy dessert of CZcams videos. Thank you so much. Also it's Spirited Away
Holy fuck im not even a kanye listener but using Lights Flashing for the Akira intro was such a cool move. Also ever since i was 8 and saw the video for Feel Good Inc i have also made that connection to Castle in the Sky!! Ive never heard anyone else say that before so that was awesome.
So I finally finished after 2 days and I have to say it was such a lovely journey all the way from the 60s to present times. It felt long in a good way, like I love how much time you took on each decade and even shed light on the amazing people behind all these timeless backgrounds in anime. I enjoyed every minute of this, so much that when it ended I felt kinda empty. I was very invested in this it seems😂😂😂😂. Anyways, I'm very grateful for all the effort and passion you put into this. I think we could tell how much it took a toll on you. 4, pretty much 5 hours is no joke. The research, filming and editing must've taken more out of you than we can imagine. But you did an extremely good job. I hope you know that. You sincerely were a relaxing pitstop in the corner of the internet.
Spirited away was one of the first anime I saw as a child and it really stuck with me
The vast variety of the backgrounds and the vibes they eminent has always helped me visual writing scenes. Whether it be chill city vibes & serene forests to abstract desolate urbanscapes or oppressively dark landscapes
This video had made me appreciate background art so much more than I have before.
You really pulled the Mizuho theme from tales of Symphonia out of nowhere, it really took me off guard. One of my favorite games of all time
Thank you so much for making this video. Im 1 hour and 50 minutes in, and this video gives me such a warm and cozy feeling. This is truly a love letter to anime and animation in general
Edit: This is easily going into my “Comfort Videos” playlist
I'm still only halfway through because I really want to pay attention to every bit, but I can safely say this will be a comfort rewatch for me in the future. Amazing work!!
I was fangirling over him fangirling over the Yu Yu Hakusho sunset scene. This is honestly my favourite CZcams video ever as an artist who loves anime
Spirited Away is literally the movie that got me into anime as a little kid. It holds a very very special place in my heart, the story is just so amazing and I can't help but get lost in the world. I watched it during a very dark time in my childhood and I remember wishing I could get lost in that world like the mc.
I always found anime backgrpunds hugely fascinating (especially in '80s and '90s anime). And this topic really deserves attention because when you think about it backgrounds are mostly what you're seeing on screen literally the entire time...
IP, i don’t know how you do it or what exactly it is about your videos, but almost all of them manage to bring tears to my eyes… i just want to say thank you, i’m still going through the most fucked up breakup i’ve ever had, i feel like shit and almost don’t see the point of living anymore. but the stuff you make is something i can always go to to get at least a little bit better. thank you with all of my heart.
I appreciate the love man and I hope you feel better and get better from the breakup
@@InternetPitstopi appreciate that. thank you
The editing in this is top tier. From the CT timeline to the (consistent) use of the DS message SFX for the info tooltips, including the mask effect for the titles of all the series featured.
I finally finished the video (I couldn't do anything else while watching because I didn't want to miss anything so it took some time) and now I find myself tearing up over a name I didn't know about four days ago. Your goal of making people appreciate anime backgrounds and the names behind them is undoubtedly reached. Before this video, out of the main people you talked about, the only name I knew was Oga and that's only because I was lucky enough to visit a Studio Ghibli exhibition nine years ago. I'm lost for words to express what this video made me feel. Thank you for spending so much time making it. I wouldn't be surprised if it inspires people into becoming background artists.
Bro I love the call out for not watching a movie but geeking out on work day long, obscure anime vids 😂 this is what we want & need, uncut rants doin your own thing (and loving the grown out hair btw, curly hair gang)
Thank you fam!
I have to say again your music selection is phenomenal for your videos. Scott Martin, The Witcher, Chrono Trigger, WoWetc. makes the video so much better
2:14:22 do you know the song :(
Cats on Mars - SEATBELTS (from Cowboy Bebop)@@sourlab
Bro low-key intimidated me with this video. Here I am, thinking I know anything about anything, and then here he comes knowing 1000x more (about anime at least)
3:31:20 The combo of hearing you say Summer Wars immediately followed by Twinleaf Town was so surreal; two of my favorite things together in harmony!
We truly are blessed to be in a period when anime is truly westernized to a point where we can look at archives and to be astonished like our first time seeing the world. Thanks ip for showing us the beauty of color, setting and time of anime backgrounds. You pumped blood into this side of youtube man
arrietty was definitely the ghibli film that imprinted on me not just on my style but my view of the world, my appreciation of the world. then it was furthered much more when i watched laputa and naussica when i was older
I've been watching this video for like three weeks now, hell maybe more. Just one or two projects at a time.
The way it all unfolded and your skill at telling this story through all these stories was REALLY a journey man, it's gonna be odd not having this vid in my tabs anymore, shit was becoming routine lmaoo.
Fr tho, thank you for this, and all the other goated shit you do holmes, I genuinely feel a greater appreciation for bg artists now than I did prior to watching this.
Peace
(Also the bg music in this video was flames, loved the nujabes / twilight princess ost)
So I have watched this entire video. I didn’t think I would but internet pitstop’s personality, creativity and analysis keeps you drawn in and engaged throughout! And yes, you are loved! Thank you for putting in so much work!😊
As a concept artist that love doing environments, this video is amazing and inspirational! Thank you so much for your efforts!
This video gives me all the right feelings, and I'm only an hour in. Dude really, it's giving comfort, inspiration, humor, insight, awe. Thank you so so so much for your efforts in creating this gem of a video!
Didn't think it was possible to find someone who loves ICO (RUINS, MAN) as much as I do. Love you and all the work you do, but especially on this video. I can't imagine the hours spent researching, scripting, recording, and editing such a love letter to a part of anime I never appreciated before. You've absolutely achieved what you set out to do in helping people appreciate the artform and get to know some of the amazing artists in the anime world.
Excellent work as always, IP. I know this video was probably super tiring, but I think the results were definitely worth it. I never realized how much backgrounds are its own art that has its own studios, and you also highlighted a lot of films/series I never saw or heard of that I want to go see now.
Keep being awesome. Love and smooches.
I'm not really an active Anime fan, but was when I was a kid. I'm about halfway through this video and you've done a great job. You nailed a certain nostalgia I've had for this kind of landscape, especially from the 90s. Always enjoy catching your content, great work.
Goddamn it, the mad lad actually got the video out!! Let's go!!
THANK YOU for this video I can't tell you how much Sailor Moon backgrounds have influenced my aesthetic every smart phone I've ever owned has had a Sailor Moon background screenshot as my wallpaper lol I'm only half through the video but I already can''t thank you enough for this gift of a video. I got lots more shows/movies to check out thanks to you dude, shoutout to Milo too
