In my opinion, the cause of “the burden of animation” is being underpaid and overworked. If there were better laws that can address these issues, we wouldn’t need to resort to AI.
But for in-betweening, I assume you’re referring to something like CACANI but that’s a bit different from generative AI I think. It behaves more like 3DCG because the lines are vectors.
The clip is from a documentary where Miyazaki works on a 3DCG short film (something completely unheard of). You can watch the documentary here. I do like the point he makes:
(Suzuki) “So, what’s your goal?”
(Guy) “Well, we would like to build a machine that can draw pictures like humans do.”
(Miyazaki) “We humans are losing faith in ourselves.”
Could you send an email to help@ani.social so I can take a look? Thanks!
Good luck! Let us know how your pulls go!
I should clarify that NLnet is probably not a commercial company like Skeb is. I know translation exists but all the Lemmy support chatrooms are in English.
Reddit was (and still is) seen as foreign/overseas social media. Other social media platforms are much more diverse than Reddit. Twitter, TikTok, and Insta for example. YouTube and Facebook too.
Most people here in Lemmy come from Reddit. Reddit is very popular in the Western world. It’s not popular outside of it.
In the context of the larger Fediverse, I think Misskey is an interesting case study. It’s created and designed by Japanese people. The docs are in Japanese. It’s sponsored by a Japanese company. Resources and support are also in Japanese. Therefore it has a strong Japanese userbase.
On the other hand, Lemmy is created and designed by Western people. The docs are in English. It’s sponsored by a Western company. Resources and support are in English. Therefore it has a strong Western userbase.
Also I should point out that other than Twitter, Instagram, etc. there are some platforms operated by non-Western companies. China has a lot of those like Bilibili, Weibo, Baidu, etc. Korea has Katalk and Line, etc etc. They aren’t popular outside of the region.
edit: I should probably clarify. It’s not like we don’t use Reddit. It’s just not as popular.
Monogatari Series
Thanks. I pulled a bit. Got Chevy C2, Iansan C1. I think that’s enough for now. Gonna save the rest for Mualani maybe.
Here are my pulls:
Finally got Chevreuse! Iansan too. I guess Varesa is nice but I pulled mainly because of Chevy and Iansan. I don’t know if I should try pulling for their constellations.
Pyro region Natlan is out (and concluded recently I think). So new characters, weapons, artifacts, etc. The Natlan characters have this gimmick that allows you to traverse terrain in different ways.
There’s a new mode called Imaginarium Theater which is like Spiral Abyss but instead of having only 2 teams, you’re given a pool of (mostly your own) characters that you can pick to build a team out of per chamber. The enemies are much easier though.
Other than that, mostly limited time events. Summer, Lunar New Year, and other events I couldn’t remember anymore lol
Oh boy I (finally) finished Angel Beats! You know, it’s a terrible idea to watch this in the library. It’s hard to hold back those tears when there are people around.
During the graduation scene, I realized that maybe the reason why I enjoy watching anime a lot lately is because it often focuses on people in their last years of high school. The Coronavirus pandemic kind of took that away from me, so I didn’t get to experience a graduation like most people have.
At the time, I didn’t really think about it. I thought it didn’t matter much but maybe it does.
Anyway, there are worse things in the world so I don’t want to dwell on it too much. Maybe it’s just media’s fault for romanticizing high school life :P I tend to guard myself from thoughts like that but alas, I too have emotions.
The end credits scene made a lot more sense to me now, and I really like that feeling of anticipation on whether Otonashi decided to stay or not. I think Hiroshi Kamiya’s delivery of the line “Kanade!!!” will forever be ingrained in my head.
By the way, the ending reminded me of this video. It’s way too accurate lol
Anyway, this week I’m watching Genius Party and Ghost in the Shell.
Thanks for the tips! I have her C6 but haven’t really built her yet.
Done! Good luck on rebuilding this community!
Thanks for the ping! o7
Yeah it does seem like the mod is inactive. Someone took over one of the communities they moderate so I’m open to having this one being taken over by anyone who wishes to build the community too.
It’s always nice to see these two together
It was 8mb then 25mb then 10mb now (for non-Nitro users)
Close Quarter Combat/Battle
Didn’t they have like an Evangelion event before? lol
