I heard that Tenga, a company that makes sex toys, wanted to be a sponsor but didn't ask in time. Like, they tweeted it or something. These people also said that their toys can make good tourniquets after the disaster.
That's a shiny new plan all right ._. I would love to be a part of that.
That being said, the ending animation is so full of teh ghei that I'm a little shocked we don't seem to have any sex toy/condom/etc ads in there yet ...
Um. I really don't want to burst bubbles, but having tried to watched Tiger&Bunny... I want say something about the animation: it isn't really high quality.
It's faux quality, since Sunrise uses short-cuts to make it appear that they've gone ahead and went the extra mile. Using blur and effects with the lighting, Sunrise makes it appear that they're producing a high frame rate. Unfortunately, to an animator or someone who is sensitive to movement and light can immediately tell that there are short-cuts.
It's well made, yes. But the animation is standard fair.
I'm not talking about frame rates and whatnot, to be perfectly honest. :) What I'm noticing is body language (especially in the hero suits, which are of course heavily computer animated), attention to detail (Tiger's arm swings a little when he turns, Barnaby's hair bounces when he walks), background (colorful, but more importantly everyone in background scenes has distinctive appearances).
Of course they still have a budget they have to follow, but on the whole the overall quality of the animation is higher: usually as much movement as possible is stripped from scenes that don't need movement, resulting in talking head syndrome, etc etc. In Tiger & Bunny I generally feel as though a lot of attention has been paid to every scene's movement.
Now that being said, I don't know the first thing about animation, so feel free to punch me in the gut with more bad news whenever you read this, haha.
The art itself is good! And that is the art of the characters moving, which means their animation director is paying attention and correcting their in-betweeners. But the actual animation, the art of making those characters move is standard for Japanese animation shown on television, which is three frames per second. For reference, Disney shoots on ones (uses one frame per second). Most animation that people consider good done by hand in America, with the exception of Hanna-Barbara, shoots on twos (uses two frames per second).
I realized my terminology is a bit weird, because that's how I was taught but let me take a minute to explain this so I'm matching up to everyone's standard definition of FPS
( ... )
a;sdlfjas see I didn't fangirl all over you for some strange reason at the con but basically I HAVE BEEN IN LOVE WITH YOU SINCE INCEPTION and, you know. OMG.
Manga is probably a little bit harder to release the same way, but yeah - if manga were to be bought in the US at the same time as it's bought in Japan, and released the same day for consumption in the US, I'd pay money for that!
