This is a kind of anime plot that makes me wish I could give a score higher than 5 out of 5 points. While I can think of some anime sequences, these are more visually impressive than episode 5 City animationno complete animation works is more keen on the medium than these 28-minute series. I know that calling creative work perfect is reductive, but even adjectives disturbingly describe the episode’s joyful and exquisite animation.
Starting from where the previous episode ends, Nagumo transports it to the Tanabe building via a limousine and invites into the hotel tower of the mansion. Here, Nagumo can enjoy a luxury life as a reward for grabbing Tanabe’s umbrella in the last episode, although she can only escape once she finishes Death Game– Every level of the tower faces challenges! After meeting a good guy from the previous plot, Nagumo is inexplicably dragged in their escape attempt to escape the tower!
Additionally, the Tenab Mansion and Hotel Tower are a true example, and almost all the exterior shots of the mansion are filled with animation in the images or videos of this diorama. There is no reason to let these people be Kyoto Animation Have trouble creating a mansion model and using stop motion animation to show off the appearance of a mansion, but they do it! I can’t even imagine how much work it is, but someone in the animation staff obviously loves creating such models, their passion shines in this episode and further retouches the passion of a lifetime, which perseveres in every episode of every episode City.
As Nagumo and Co. worked along the tower, the owners on each floor were funny or evacuated through surprising developments, such as the Magician, whose birds attacked him until he realized he was abused or had to have three passes when his arm broke before he arrived and couldn’t fight. As this progresses, there are some other things in the city City animation Taken in Nagumo’s story. The plot is invited into the tower, and Nagumo’s landlord is infiltrated so that she can collect rent from the young woman.
Also, when I say this happens at the same time, I mean these events are playing on the screen at the same time. By dividing the screen into more and more picture windows, we see all these stories at the same time, and intermittently jump between the audio between the focus of each window. again, Kyoto Animation There is no need to work so hard, it is possible to express all these events with easier, more direct means, but they put in more effort, and the result is a more simultaneous animation that happens on the screen than any other seasonal anime I’ve ever seen.
The plot is with Nagumo and the company escaping the hotel tower and pouring in other A series of animations simultaneously on-screen, blending into large gatherings outside the Tanabe mansion. This sequence beautifully captures the charm, scope and community of creation City animation It’s so happy every week that I don’t know how the next episode will bring this episode to the top. Especially considering the end of the episode, we learn that Niikura’s small box does contain the first photo she took of Nagumo, which is as completely adorable and queer-coded as I hoped.
Finally, don’t skip the final credits of this episode! We don’t have the usual ending sequence, but rather a stylized montage of a painting of a man considered to be a manse ancestor, embodying the hospitality spirit that the family will be famous for. Also, it turns out that a tired Buddha statue actually made a treat tower, which is strange, very unexpected and very interesting.
