Why didn't Takafumi Hori work on more Western cartoons?
>>152793640He only likes Rebecca Sugar and Hazbin Hotel; I doubt he likes other cartoons and animators
>>152793640I think the actual question is why don't more western productions pay Japanese artists to do design, storyboarding, or animation. It might be more expensive, or it might be more of a hassle, but it seems like they'd get more bang for the buck.
>>152793883Mostly do deadlines. Adventure Time, and Steven Universe were the only ones who had "guest animators" from Japan.Amphibia had SmallBu Studios, but those were located within the US. I doubt you can hire someone from Chainsaw Man or Dandadan to do animation on fucking Kiff or Big City Greens.
when it comes to most recent cartoons it just makes me wince, bringing skills for much more advanced designs and motion to rounded blobs meant for rigs. But at least Steven universe had something to work with
>>152793640He would have been great in Molly McGee :(
>>152793640Who would want him mogging the shit out of them? He made Sugar and her crew look like clods.
>>152793640>Meanwhile, American animators:
>>152795858>Storyboarded by Lamar AbramsOf fucking course
>>152795858>>152795957What happened to the majority of the SU board artists? Everyone's kind of banished; we only know one of them works on fucking Baby Shark for Nick Jr.
>>152796905It is what it is in the showbiz gig economy
>>152793640That looks terrible.
>>152793640idk. we did get imaishi on OK KO for the introIf you want a real weird cut, Kuni Tomita who was from Akira worked on Dora the Explorer
>>152793640Mmm Connie's feet
>>152798910Post your work
>>152793640This only happened due to Sugar networking.I'm aware that 'making friends' and 'fostering relationships' is beyond the capacity of most of you, but it does help.
>>152795858la niña negra
>>152796905It's almost like when your show's biggest fault is known for being "gave too much freedom to the board artists so they completely derailed the show's writing and visuals" people don't want to work much with said board artists.
>>152794040I thought SU used koreans mostly
>>152800603It did, the post you're responding to doesn't contradict that. Guest animators aren't the same as the principle animation team.
>>152793640why can't Americans be like Japan and make a good product without identity politics? look at what happened to Noelle Stevenson's Shera, dumped and forgotten
>>152800710Steven Universe is anything but dumped and forgotten
>>152800735fnaf came out at the same time, still has new games, a cinematic universe in cinemas. Steven universe lost
>>152796905>We only know one of them works on fucking Baby Shark for Nick Jr.I only remember Villeco's tantrum when asked why he hasn't done shit like the Gravity Falls crew
>>152793640It seems that Hori only liked Rebecca Sugar's work specially since he did animations for her album. I never saw him doing Gravity Falls, The Owl House, or Amphibia fan animations.
>>152801757How is that a tantrum
>>152796905>>152801757Did you guys just forget that Craig of the Creek was made by a couple of them and they even used an SU episode as a backdoor pilot? ...because honestly I wouldn't blame you, Craig of the Creek was bland as shit and that episode is quite literally the worst in the entire series.
>>152802286Rocknaldo?
>>152793640Takafumi Hori loves Hazbin Hotel for some reason despite the writing being garbage.
>>152803291Onion Gang. Rocknaldo is a close second though.
>>152802286>>152805237Ironically, a Lamar Abrams episode
>>152805471That's not ironic at all, that makes perfect sense and is neither the use of words expressing something other than their literal intention nor an unexpected turnabout in what is perceived to be the expected outcome of a given situation.
>>152805471i forgot they had frisk undertale in the show once
>>152805471I like how even the animation and character designs look significantly worse in this episode. It's so fucking shit.
>>152793640Lol I dunno
>>152805471The ONE (1) episode I would skip should I ever do a full-series rewatch
>>152793853Takafumi-san worked on Vivshit?
>>152805471What was the point of this episode?
>>152809451>"dude muh underturd reference"What was the point of all towny episodes?
>>152809451Show that the character who Steven barely considers a human has feelings
>>152793640I don't particularly like these sorts of odd floaty animations but its neat as a finished bit and there were so few fan animations of the show which helps make it stand out.Still better than tracing 3d models that everyone's doing nowadays.
>>152798910Post something better then.
