They blow up my favourite Crow.
This bait post isn't about the crow, but the amount of background details Science SARU is giving. We saw chickens freaking out during the car scene (episode 9) as well.
Loved the "Sugi-baby"
Squirrels at episode 1.
Beetles.
Cockroaches.
Rats.
Pigeons .
Even that kid drawing face garbage guy from episode 2 re appeared at episode 8.
The "footage" at the end was mentioned this episode by the characters as well. Great addition to the lifestyle making it more lively.
I think episode 9 is unfinished, in the sense of unfinished corrections. I understand the hard schedule of the animators. It felt like they didn't have enough time.
Example : The talking scenes should be handed over to the people who are great at character acting. Many scenes are like watching 😮🙁😮🙁. While some key animations are well done.
ANOTHER EXAMPLE : the bridge landscape from episode 2 are used twice here at episode 9.
The long shots are just character moving mouth, while the dialogues are intense. Kinda felt weird.
My earlier complaint about those static long shot where characters walk in the same place, it was longer, it was weird to watch.(check out the image above and watch that scene again)
One final walking shot of motoko, which is a throwback to episode 1.
Even the bgms made comeback from episode 1.
The pre-court scene where Aramaki and Motoko were walking looked like the characters were dragged with some Capcut key frames with some pre defined walking animation.
(Example : Imagine like I made a walking animation, but I don't know make the walking animation through a corridor, so I use keyframe and drag it to the end)
Loved the character acting of the news reporter.
Fantastic cinematography and philosophy.
Great animation, city life, people, background characters, especially SUGII BABYYY
