What happened to the 'Animation Styles' page & can we bring it back?

Post by kibasennin » Sat Feb 15, 2020 3:37 am

The title says it all. I was looking for the animation styles page (where differences between all the animator's drawing styles were illustrated) and I found a newly revamped animation section. Which is great, but that specific bit of content and information has disappeared, or if it hasn't, I can find it.

Was it deleted? If so, why? Cuz honestly that was my favorite page on the website.

Cheers for the help.

Yeah, I checked it recently and the specific animator information seemed to have been removed. Though it was a very basic overview.

I am not demanding this from the Kanzenshuu staff, who I'm sure are super busy with life and other things on the site, but in general, I really want a detailed guide to all of the different key animators and their styles, since I still have a hard time telling old-school Hisada from Tate a lot of the time, and I know there's another Key animator at Studio Live who wasn't heavily corrected, as there's another, more angular (but more well drawn than Ebisawa) animator, and I don't know who they are. Anime Ajay started his video analysis on the different animators, but stopped after covering only a few.

I think there are other animators, who were usually heavily corrected, but I don't know anything about the more minor key animators. This is something I'd love to know more about, but the information isn't readily available, and I don't know where to look.

I also liked how the guide delved into the various things like, Uchiyama (I think?) was the artist that people liked the least, Nakatsuru Yamamuro went on to make DBSuper, it was very informative stuff! It wasn't just about the styles but the evolution of the styles themselves. Which I thought was awesome.

I believe they're gone because a lot of them were really wrong and due for an update.

To the best of my knowledge, it's still a WIP, so it'll probably return with accurate representations in the future.

Heath asked me to help out with the guide and I've been spectacularly fucking useless (see: lazy), so I should probably change that at some point.
