The other day my mom said something that i found really insulting to
the 2d animation movies, she said that they stopped doing those because
they were no longer appealing to the audience and that they were
supposed to be discontinued, and i just thought how bullshit of an
argument that is.
Comparing 2d animation with 3d and saying one is
superior is like saying that digital art is better than traditional
art, better than the fucking Mona Lisa, The creation of Adam, in fact,
is a pretty ignorant comparation to do because one does not suprass the
other, but new techniques are getting invented and we invest in those
more.
Is just another way of animation, in fact, the shitty move
all those studios did by closing their 2d animation studios eas
pointless and it´s gonna cost them greatly, because someday people are
gonna want to go back to the 2d animation and studios like Disney or
Dreamworks will be too scared to do that, that will be the day that
other studios will take upon them and give us what we want.
2D animation has the most beautiful animation i´ve ever seen, there´s something in it that i can´t explain that makes a big difference from watching cgi, and what i think would make a great combination is the great amount of details that you see in CGI and 3D movies into 2D techniques so you could expect to see shit like this
Atlantis (2001)
Treasure Planet (2002)
Sinbad (2003)
5 centimeters per second (2007)
The princess and the frog (2009)
Children who lost their Voices (2011)
Beyond the boundary (2015)
Your name (2016)
So whoever dares to say 2d animation is dead is wrong and also a bitch
I love 2d animation. The beauty, the expressiveness, the artistry. There is no way it could ever be replaced or replicated. While all forms of art have their charm, there is something special about the way that 2d animation can break so freely from reality while simultaneously cutting straight to your heart. What will happen if the big studios stop doing it is that smaller ones will step in, and the proliferation of ways of distributing material means you don’t need a multi-billion dollar marketing team for people to see your art these days anyway.
I just….I honestly cannot. Roy Mustang has always been my favorite character in FMA and this scene is the one that made me start crying.
Roy had to pay a toll even though he never CHOSE to go through the Portal of Truth, he was forced. Truth does not discriminate between the innocent and the sinners; that’s a lesson not only Ed but we ALL learned in this scene.
And THAT is why this show is so powerful. Because that’s real: equivalent exchange is bullshit. It is not a life philosophy to live by. Shit happens to good people, to bad people, to everyone. You may be able to chose the path you go on in life and the things that happen to you have to do with that BUT when someone gets sick, when someone gets in an accident? It’s not because of what they’ve done, it’s because shit HAPPENS. Things are taken away from you even if you don’t get given something in return.
But something that Brotherhood and the manga do that I think is so important is that even with this fact, it doesn’t mean you can’t be happy. It doesn’t mean your life is over. Ed and Al moved on and pulled through their entire journey with their disabilities. Roy is seen studying Ishvalan facts in his hospital bed, knowing he’d never get his eyesight back before Marcoh arrived. Izumi Curtis took two kids into her care, two kids WITHOUT parents, and taught them everything she knew.
Shit happens, but life doesn’t have to stop because of it.
I also think this scene is powerful because this is when Roy finally realized just how much Ed and Al had to go through at such a young age. Throughout the series, he knew how much shit they went through, but then he actually experienced it… well, part of it. And I think he was just like, “Wow, okay, fuck… this is scary.”
I’m not good with words, I hope you guys understand what I’m trying to point out.
This is the perfect pet for people who want to keep a small container of water with something pretty in it. Even though it’s a plant and not a fish, it’s way cuter than a sad, cramped betta- and less maintenance, too. A marimo is perfect for that pretty aesthetic or your college dorm room. Want a mason jar aquarium? A marimo will be perfectly happy in there. Want a fishbowl with pretty rocks? Get a marimo, or even a few of them! I can’t overstate how wonderful and cute marimo are.
