Ueno might argue back that they did put some effort into making the girls pretty, which is why the special rendering of eye close-ups is achieved through the combination of microphotography of gemstones. He's so normal

The way it channels both the protagonist's insensitization but also her desire not to put too much of a show with what that means wrt visual violence, the increasing chapter numbers becoming rising dread, the ending that makes it feel like another day at the office for her... what a show

On that line, it's hard not to see the choice to abstract characters into lineless forms for nearly every shot as part of that dehumanization of the participants. Obviously it's a stylistic preference (and it lets them bypass their lack of 2D polish), but this feels like a very Ueno train of thought

What if they made a show about how capitalism doesn't just cause harm, but relishes the opportunity to kill, making a spectacle of it for a cruel ruling class? What if it was directed by the biggest arthouse weirdo who has risen within the industry recently?
What if Souta Ueno's Shiboyugi was real?

Wrote about how Chainsaw Man: Reze Arc mixes the irreverent spirit of TV animation with insane bombast, making it a representative work of anime's current paradigm but with limiters off. Between that & its addictive tragedy, it has become the movie of the moment blog.sakugabooru.com/2026/01/06/c...

Anyway, the real question wasn't "how are they going to adapt 11 volumes of Ikoku Nikki", it was "are they going to keep the Justin Bieber song".
The answer is not really, but the editing made it funnier

The flair is left up to special sequences like the opening and ending. The former was led by Kotomi Deai, fellow Omori disciple and someone whom Oshiro has worked with on many occasions. She even helped her out for Skip & Loafer's first episode, so it feels right to get payback before its sequel

The thing about rooting the adaptation so much into their physical realities is that you stray from the more fantastical side of the manga. Director Miyuki Oshiro rolls with that perfectly, making keeping the transitions in & out of reality very "physical", like an empty diary shifting into a desert

Depicted a lived-in space through tactile cel is a challenge, because that's the type of skill that animators are no longer really prepared for. Ikoku Nikki not only clears that with the delightful mess, but even manages to make it feel like one very specific (very messy, one of us) person's life

Even with its mindfulness of screentime, it understands something important: you can't present a story about cohabitation without painting a specific picture of daily lives. The clutter, the quirks of the routines that can generate friction, you *need* these moments and they're captured very well

Knew Ikoku Nikki was going to be good because the source material rules and the staff's good, but goddamn what an amazing first episode. So far brilliant structure to bypass pacing issues, direction that really understands the core of the series, and waaaay better animation than it'll get credit for

いよいよ折返しとなりました。
メインの鏡を使った連作は画集でやりたかったのですが難しく、それなら個展でやろう！となり実現する事が出来ました。なのでこれが完成形です。
ぜひ実物をご覧頂ければと思います。本日も銀座SIX蔦屋書店でお待ちしております！

Wrote about how Apocalypse Hotel, through a bumpy creative process, accumulated many artistic lineages & viewpoints.

Hyakuemu's acclaim reminded me of the Uoto interview asking about anime influences where they went "idk I don't watch much, but I love Eupho & Shirobako so much they gotta be influential for me". Wanted to rant so much about Kumiko and Myaamoru it split off into a separate blurb. Truly based author
Came across an itw with Chi's author where they confess to not watching much anime but LOVING Eupho and Shirobako. Their only request to the anime team was to get Kensuke Ushio, whose music they first heard in Ping Pong and fell in love with through Koe & Liz and the Blue Bird. We were meant to be
Caught up with Chi / Orb. Ep #03 is outsourced and its technical execution falters a bit, but it's nicely directed. Everything Shimizu's boards & Masato Miyoshi's processing attempt is fundamentally sound and furthers previous themes to conclude that human curiosity is inescapable. Fun twist too!
