Did Arcane fall under those requirements? Its been a long time since I saw something animated and styled so beautifully.
Before that, I was usually impressed by Ufotables quality (Garden of sinners, Fate Stay / Night stuff).
- urthor 5y agoArcane is 3D animation (vectors and polygons) over painted backgrounds for 100% of it I believe. Anime is computer edited 2D cells drawn on tablets for foreground and background and layered. The 3D work is limited to certain scenes. 3D animation can be scaled up and down, but it's not hand drawn and converted to raster images like the 2D cells necessarily. I imagine with anime they just agree on a resolution for all the rasters and plug away at it, because they're under insane time/budget pressure. The painted backgrounds who knows.
- TheRealNGenius 5y agoJust to add, Arcana also makes use of 2d effects animation. You can notice this when there is fire for instance, and in many of the explosions as well. Impact frames are also likely hand drawn.
- urthor 5y agoI imagine the 2D effects animation is also done in vectors like the 3D. Maybe a better way of phrasing my answer is that Arcane was done in vector shapes. Whilst anime is sometimes done "quick and dirty" by agreeing on a raster resolution and mastering everything in raster.
