This reminds me of that Doctor Who fan anime I saw a while ago. I'd watch this though. lol

well that looks better than all of the prequels and weird cartoons associated with them combined.

Oh is that the same guy? I always hated that picture lol. Even if I agree with the sentiment that anime shading overall seems to have decreased in quality.

Fantastic. It makes me so happy to see great technical 2D animation. We're running so short of people talented enough to do it well.
EDIT: Oh it's that guy. Well I think he misses the point a bit with that infograph, and this short kind of exacerbates that, but it's still incredible regardless.

Nice job, but for all that work, why not create your own IP?

I remember that two min demo he put out a while back. It looks really nice, and the mechanical designs/animation look really good, but his character animation looks really janky; they look almost rotoscoped and just really awkward when he has to do full body stuff like the officer on the bridge of the star destroyers.

I swear I saw Yazan Gable in there.
That short was good.I love that style of shading in animation. It's most likely not profitable nowadays but I'd love to see it return.

Otaking has come a long way since this.
I always felt like Western animation traditionally always emphasized the "animation" aspect more whereas for Anime it's the character designs and general art style that were more important

Looks good, but the music really does not fit.

Disney should can all their bullshit plans, hire this guy, and let him do the lord's work. Best stars wars related thing I've seen since Empire.
If the new eternal batch of Star Wars films gives us even one Empire centric flick, I can die happy.*
*As long as the lead doesn't become a Rebel at the end

While there is some truth to this statement, it did also cost a lot of additional money back then to add multiple layers of shadows to celluloid. Each shadow would requite its own animation cell that would overlap on top of each other. All those cells of animation would drive up cost. But these days it is irrelevant with ink and paint being done digitally.
Pretty neat animation though.

Should have used Daft Punk music.

So his Stand is to fly a space craft and win? Not bad.

LATIN, MATRIPEDICABUS, DO YOU SPEAK IT
The old clip that most people have seen uses KOTOR music in the backdrop.
he's comparing high quality, expensive-to-produce OAVs to television series lol

Pretty impressive. Two issues I have with it, one minor one major.
1. Based on the craft shown, I assume this is around the time of Return of the Jedi (there are TIE Interceptors and Bombers), if that's the case, where the fuck are the A- and B-wings on the Rebel side? Even if you ignore the EU (where A-Wings were in use as early as the Battle of Yavin) they were still used around this same time.
2. The music. Oh good God, why does "Star Wars" mean "late 80's hair metal/mid 90s JRPG soundtrack music" to these people? Sorry but the only music that should accompany anything Star Wars EVER needs to be orchestral. It just really looked out of place.
