GITM 83: Wonder Egg Priority - Why Action Matters | An Analysis

Last time I discussed Wonder Egg Priority (2021), I mentioned that there were two sides to its animation; in episode 80 we talked about character-acting and so this session will focus on action animation! This week I try to figure out who and what makes the anime's action so special to try and understand why it is so vital to its tone and attitude. Background animation, smears, locations and more in this shorter episode!

Staff Mentioned: Shin Wakabayashi, Naoko Yamada, Yusuke Kawakami, Takuya Niinuma, Harumi Yamazaki, Hironori Tanaka.
