- Minisode 6: A Short Intro To - The Animation Of Keiichiro Watanabe
For the sixth and final installment of the 'Short Intro To' series, let's discuss the wonderful animation of Keiichiro Watanabe! Watanabe's animation has definitely made me think twice about what I already know about Japanese animation and so in this episode I try my best to make sense of their work from the perspective of timings, 'momentum', 'tempo' and more.
Thank You For Supporting This Mini Series!

12 min - Minisode 5: A Short Intro To - The Animation Of Yoshimichi Kameda
For the fifth part of the 'Short Intro To' series, let's take a look at the animation of popular animator Yoshimichi Kameda! Kameda personally introduced me to a different side of animation that I had hardly experienced before and later down the line led to my fondness of the Kanada-school of animation. Let's talk about style, inspiration and more!
Thank You childish!lino for the review!

10 min - Minisode 4: A Short Intro To - The Animation & Direction of Shingo Yamashita
For the fourth minisode in the Short Intro series, let's look at the amazing animation and direction of none other than Shingo Yamashita! Yamashita opened my eyes to another side of animation and direction that focused on distortion, risk and unconventionality. In this week's episode I want to share what I've learnt from the work of this industry titan.

10 min - Minisode 3: A Short Intro To - The Animation & Direction of Naoya Nakayama
This week, let's look at the animation and direction of Naoya Nakayama! Nakyama's work is very interesting to look at because it is centred mostly around a technical part of anime / film being the 21:9 aspect ratio. In this short episode I'll attempt to break down why exactly I think they're work on it is so great.

In this first minisode of the first ever Get In The Mecha minisode season, let's briefly discuss the amazing action animation of the legendary animator Yutaka Nakamura. Smear, impact frames, cubes and most importantly - what his work has taught me about the anime industry!

8 min - GITM 90: The 4:3 Aspect Ratio & Anime | An Analysis
As you probably already know, I like Aspect Ratios a lot. In this week's episode I want to hone in specifically on the 4:3 aspect ratio and talk about what it does for framing, space and more in the context of anime. This week I'm talking about how 4:3 has accumulated more value over time, how it creates a sense of intimacy or confinement and loads more!
Next episode is the start of the first ever GITM Minisode series! I know it isn't ideal but please look forward to these bitesized discussions about some of my favourite animators / directors in the anime sphere for a few weeks.

29 min - GITM 89: Wonder Egg Priority - Humanity & Adolescence | An Analysis
I've spoken about Wonder Egg Priority's animation quite a lot - let's talk about its narrative this week! WEP goes from commenting on friendship to eventually discussing what it means to be human in the space of twelve epiosdes and the way it gets there was also marvellous to watch each week. This episode will be an attempt to understand these core themes like 'humanity' and 'adolescence' a bit better. What it means to be a teenager, averting oneself from self-destruction and more!

29 min - GITM 88: Evangelion - Death & Rebirth | An Analysis
Recap movies and episodes in anime are a mixed bag. A lot of the time they can be quite mundane and even a pain to get through - but sometimes they aren't. Evangelion - Death & Rebirth is an excellent example of a recap that takes the opportunity to add more value to the content it has at its disposal; this is why I want to look at this more depth. This week I talk about how reorganising information changes how we digest it, the importance of editing and more!

30 min - GITM 87: Why Form Is Important In Anime | An Analysis
I have discussed character-acting and action animation quite extensively on the show (and will continue to do so) but this week I want to go just a bit deeper by looking at the concept of 'form'. How animators interpret the body and give life to it through movement is very important not just for understanding how a character is feeling at a certain point in time, but also what the overarching ideas of a story really are. In this epiosde, I think about realism, distorting features of the human body and more.
