Otaku Evolution Episode 247 – Sailor Moon SuperS: The Movie

Much like the previous two Sailor Moon movies, there’s not a whole lot to Sailor Moon SuperS: The Movie. It’s a short trifle of a feature, only about an hour long, with no room for development for its characters. But that’s no different than a lot of anime movies based on long-running franchises. The problem with this one is that, while charming, it doesn’t quite have the charm of the previous two, just like the second one didn’t have the charm of the first. So I guess SM movies are diminishing returns, whereas, say, the first 13 DBZ movies were all over the place, in terms of quality (and yet also never quite made it out of “charming but pointless”). Still, you have to love that “Three O’ Clock Fairy” song. read more

Otaku Evolution Episode 129 – Sailor Moon S: The Movie

This year’s Christmas episode, subtitled A Hastily Prepared Otaku Evolution Christmas, is well-named, because I didn’t get the chance to do a lot of the wrap-around atmosphere-setting like in the past years. The best I could do was the usual zoom into Penguinopolis. But I did create a whole new background, a comfy, Christmas-tinged setting from which to anchor my sprite avatar between clips, and I’m deeply satisfied with how it turned out. Yeah, I probably could have gone through the trouble of animating the fire in the fireplace, but it’s such a small detail (just pretend it was a fake fire, a light bulb shaped like a fire for the set… besides which, Penguinopolis probably wouldn’t have chimneys) and if you’re eagle-eyed, you’ll notice how appropriate that painting is for the decor. read more
