    Basically what you're saying is that this is the edgy, forgotten child of Alita Battle Angel and Ghost in the Shell.

    2009-2013 was my anime dark age. I had stopped watching and buying manga and didn't come back to it until 2014. I know these movies by name and some of the stuff in it but never gave it a chance, might watch them later.

    Nice vid. That's a pity to hear the manga (or did I mishear and it was supposed to be a TV series?) didn't work out. I love Range Murata's designs and deliciously unique and natural smooth, organic lines. I don't know anyone else with that "smooth" art style.
    These backdrops are nice, but the character designs and animation are pretty mid, circa 2000s+ "spiky", and lack consistent detail and realism, like, unfortunately, Production IG's work on GitS:SAC. The cyber-noir dark+glow color palette and holo-mouse thing is really neat, though. That needs to be stolen-dapted into something else.

    • @CulturedCrusader

      It was supposed to be an OVA but Gonzo actually wanted it to be a tv series since those tended to make more money than OVAs. It certainly would've been interesting to see.

Made In Abyss being the only serious anime with high quality _animation_ and being well illustrated show I've seen since.

    • @CulturedCrusader
      @CulturedCrusader  Před měsícem +3

      They tried in the early 2000s but they would've had to censor so much to get it on TV. That's why they decided to make it an OVA instead, but mainstream TV anime make more money than OVAs (generally), so they cancelled it. A new studio brought it back in movie form but I don't think it made enough money to justify making anything beyond these three films.
