Dandadan is very pretty, but Redline uses no effects or CGI. It was one of the last animated movies to be completely hand drawn using traditional animation. The reason it looks like “cheap effects” is because over 100,000 hand-drawn frames were made for it over a seven year production period to push the animation to the absolute limit. Please reconsider.
I guess I'll have another stab at it with fresh new eyes, but I doubt I can shake off the initial impression already burned into my mind.
Edit: I just watched the intro sequence linked above, and though I can appreciate the heavy layering of multiple elements in beautifully crafted scenes... I can't shake off the feeling that they're just animated static paintings, with lots of closeups to distort the action, but very little change in background - except maybe a short stint in that boost scene where the perspective lines beautifully converge. It's top-tier out of this world art, but I wouldn't say it's good animation.
Edit2: I'm guessing it's mostly just a personal preference of what good animation is. I'm likely going to receive many downvotes for this edit, but consider this fight scene between Madara and the Shinobi Alliance (specifically the 10 second segment between 1:43 and 1:57). The art is piss poor, anyone can see that by simply watching an episode of Naruto. But the sheer dynamism, perspective shift, and pacing, really communicate how devastating an earth-shattering force Madara is, even with piss poor art. To me, that is good animation. The motion transcends the art.
what you like is sakuga lol, I like it in short doses, look up hobbes sakuga, mute and play your favorite music, I caught hella ppl that dont like anime or were initially hating on it for being on just staring st the screen for minutes. (Would use their vid as visuals while we played music off our speakers in college)
Woah, solid recommendation! Thanks for this
