    My inner child is crying in the corner like a scared kitty, my future self is in the 4th dimention (cuz block universe theory and time is non-linear, get it) looking back in time and disappointed in me.

    I observe my memories in 3rd person sometimes and I see that kid, I cry along… poor kid, he went through so much.

    But then again, he did have some happy memories, and I’m also happy for him… but those are short live moments, far in between. Between the yelling at home.

    A rollar coaster of a childhood. The steepest rollar coster ride ever.

    My inner child just cries a whole lot.

    She also wants a pink bicycle and a pretty purple helmet though.

      An anime called Chargeman Ken where “animation” is a generous compliment. Some action shots are three frames long. Most shots are static - with one alternating mouth motion, when characters aren’t just framed, positioned, or turned to avoid animating them at all. But it works. You are watching a clear story take place. It’s not a radio drama or narration. The story is terrible, because these broke fools were animating every first draft that could fill twenty minutes, but events occur onscreen in a sequence that you can follow with your eyeballs.

      And the result is some dramatic presentation. One episode starts with characters watching a Godzilla knockoff. Buildings take time to draw, so you get two frames of an upward angle conveying Cheapogodzilla’s size. When the hero bursts into a room for an accusation, they’re framed at a distance, to avoid animating their face. The show is rife with all this dynamic perspective and foreshortening that even cheap CGI today won’t do, because they think they have to fill the entire frame with someone’s head. Cartoons with budgets get flat presentation because they’re trying to be sitcoms and clearly show off nuance and subtlety. Making absolute garbage for a fraction of the price takes so much more creativity.
