Kill Bill 1s screenplay has a very detailed action scene in it. This is important because most screenwriters write out the very bare minimum of their fights. Compare that to any of the Star Wars prequel screenplays where its super simple.

Theres a lot of interesting stuff you can talk about tbh. Id love to help after Im done with work tonight

Whatre your interests? I can find a movie script pretty quick.

But if you wanna analyze one thing, I HIGHLY recommend Hercules, because it is so clearly made with the basic tenants of screenwriting in mind.

If you want something not super complex, I could get Fullmetal Jacket. Good middle of the road script.

If you want something that, like, really messes around with stuff, maybe a Coen Bros movie script. Or, like, Inception, but I never read the script for that.

If you want some I reached potential, try the original World War Z script. And compare it to the movie. The differences are staggering.

Or even something like Bright. Compare the original draft to the final copy that was rewritten by David Ayer. Bright got FUCKED over in the rewrite, but thats because there wasnt an actual screenwriter looking over the changes.

Maybe throw in a Game of Thrones script in there. But thats much less interesting on a technical level. Still, seeing a TV screenplay when everyone else is probably gonna bring movie screenplays will show you the differences in crafting either one, and maybe you can argue into why a lot of television writers kinda suck at writing features, and vice versa.

Ren and Stimpy was freaking gross

But it was gross stuff animated VERY well

And I take no pride is saying this, because Ren and Stimpys creator is infamous for... not being a very great guy. He groomed children for himself to fuck, and he kinda had a massive hardon for 20s era animation and thought every other style was shit. But hes a masterclass for inventive western cartoons

Really, I think this general attitude towards animation explains why people LOVE Castlevanias anime. Much work wasnt put into the action sequences, and if you REALLY pay attention, you can see dropped frames and very choppy animation all over the place. Its because the character designs are SO highly detailed, you can pause the screen at almost any moment, screen cap it, and then show it to any of your friends or your mom or something and say this show was beautifully made.

I dont think it is.

It saddens me that the new season of Pokmon, or the very fluid style of Steven Universe gets shafted all the time because people want their anime to look like anime, and think THAT is good animation, when actual animation has smear frames and squash and stretch all over the place.

Oh well, guess Ill be in the minority of people who actually like the work being put into newer cartoons. Or even fucking Ren and Stimpy, which famously had VERY varied facial expressions. But whatever.

But thats literally not what animation is. I dont understand your confusion here. You can have a very detailed design, but animating that design is a very different story because you have to draw that design over and over again for however many frames you need. OG Thundercats used comparatively few frames compared to Kill la Kill, which was super fun and inventive with its animation.

Get this man institutionalized. The first Nui fight looked like some South Park tier shit.

Can you imagine not understanding a joke? Nui was literally toying with everyone, so its supposed to look low effort. Compare that fight to Ryuko vs Satsuki choreography and animation and tell me that Nuis whole deal when she first showed up wasnt intentional.

Its difficult to have a show that has a detailed art style (OG Thundercats, Castlevania anime, etc...) because animating such highly detailed character designs takes a LOT of work. Theres a reason acclaimed studios like UFOtable went and simplified the clothing on Tales of Zestirias characters.

Moreover, shows with simpler designs like Sun and Moon/Steven Universe/Konosuba have a LOT aid leeway when it comes to creative movement, and it always ups the comedy elements.

Art style

Detailed art style

Animation is, yknow, movement. Dynamic movement.

Art style covers things like the standard Disney style, or the gritty and realistic style of stuff like Flapjack.

Take a look at some of Hulus shows, like Fugget About It or The Awesomes, and I bring them up not because Ive seen the entirety of both shows and can offer a nice, lengthy criticism of both, but because Ive seen their posters and watched, like, 3 minutes of each show, and came away wondering how any business could ever allow anything so lazily animated to air internationally.

Im sure none of these artists want to draw this shit, and Im definitely sure nobody wants to see them, so why did either of these shows go on for more than one season. Why are we limiting ourselves to mediocre animation and subpar, tepid humor, when I can just go on YouTube, click on literally any amateur comedy writers channel that has subpar lighting/staging/costuming/whatever, and STILL agent a chuckle out because theres more effort put into their $10 budget production than a several thousand dollar show that has a staffed writers room, several editors, and actual, trained script supervisors who are supposed to slap these lame ass screenplays out of the writers hands, and then slap the writer and laugh them out of the room.

Why do any of these things get funded when we have shit like Bojack Horseman, which continuously raises the bar when it comes to pure storytelling skill?

Why are people going on about how its the best thing ever? Is it because they really wanted to see Castlevania get an anime? Or because its bloody and gorey, and thats still supposed to be cool when youre in your mid-20s?

Its not animated very well. The fights are super choppy when youre actually looking at them. I guess people just like seeing super stylized designs, even if the animation is crap.

and the music is... I dunno. Im just saying, I havent even played Castlevania and even I know how great the music is. They couldve, like, actually played a song other than Bloody Tears one time.

Hm... let me think

1) Emperors New Groove- a sure pick. I cant say I enjoy another Disney movie more.
2) Lilo and Stitch- The family parts. All of the alien stuff outside of Gumba and Pleakley kinda suck.
3) Mulan- WE ARE MEEEEEENNNNN!
4) Lion King- Okay, so this is where it gets complicated. LK is more consistently good than Lilo and Mulan, but both films also have better highs, but also have aspects that I feel are superfluous and add nothing good. Lion King is just good all the way through and doesnt have any parts that suck (except maybe that one song near the beginning that nobody remembers)

See, Moana is kinda tied with Beauty and the Best for 5. Moana has a better story but less great songs, Beauty has better songs but the story is... maybe slightly above average, buffed SIGNIFICANTLY by Gaston. Both are really beautifully animated too.

Maybe Moana barely takes it, but only because I like Moana more than Belle.
