(WIP) [ANIMATION] MIS "Keyframe" (Patreon)

Feast your eyes, my first WIP in months. Because I kept forgetting to do them. This one's gonna be of Misato Katsu Curry, from the hit Japanese anime Neon Genesis Evangelical. In a rare KYDE 'W,' I have actually seen this show. In a more common KYDE 'L,' I really can't stand it. I'm sorry. I know it's like, one of the big boys, a true pillar of anime, I just cannot for the life of me get into it. I've tried twice now. The superfans don't help matters. I had one try to get into an argument with me in public, while we were eating lunch. Who does that? Man, I was just trying to enjoy my chicken sandwich, and you're trying to tell me that the "Congratulations" ending has merit.

Aesthetically it's fucking awesome. I love how the show looks. And I think that that... might be why people love it so much. Looks stellar. The robots needing big extension cords is so unique and cool. It's just the writing I can't get behind. I know it's a big meme about how pathetic Shinji is, but... he just makes the show so hard to watch. He's so clearly damaged, and every adult around him consistently fails him. I dunno, maybe it's just me, but so many parts just feel like miseryporn, watching Shinji get more and more fucked up. I think I messed up by not watching it as a damaged child myself, because now as an adult all I can think is "Someone please get this poor boy some goddamn therapy." And then I get all frustrated by all the adult characters who are all manipulative and shitty. Ugh. I think the movies make it even worse, where he becomes more and more damaged. I know that that's the point of the show, that it's supposed to be a downer, I just don't like watching that stuff. Though, I love Berserk. So... I don't know. I don't know what's wrong with me.

I won't ever finish Evangelion, I'll say that right now. I know I'm probably missing out on something, but I just can't. I like, just recently finished reading Mobile Suit Gundam: The Origin, and Amuro Ray was a similar kind of whiny, broken, insufferable character. Whereas Shinji broke my heart and made me feel bad, Amuro Ray made me feel nothing but rage. I wanted to see him get fed to crocodiles. Worthless character. Throw him away. I think it's kind of like a Chernobyl kinda deal? You know, how you can only visit Chernobyl once or something, because the radiation will kill you if you visit again? It's like that. But, if I read another manga or watch another anime with a useless whiny mech pilot character, I'll keel over and die.

Anyways, Misato is cool. I like her design a lot. Plus I saw a picture of her on Reddit and thought "I should animate her." So here I am. With my recent track record, I bet you thought I was going to make the penguin banging her, right?? NO! Nuh uh! I wasn't! The thought never even crossed my mind. It didn't. This will be more in line with my "normal" animations, so it'll have like, an alternative outfit and all that. Everything I've done lately has been under 20 hours, but I suspect this one will be something like 30-40. My plan is to get this finished before voting on your suggestions.

Speaking of! I've been looking through all of them. There's some good shit. You guys are great. It'll take me a little bit of time to look through them all and reply, but just know. As of right now, I think they're dynamite.

Anyways, that's that. Next up for this is the BASE Animation. I hope y'all like this one. And I'm sorry I don't like Evangelion. I feel like that opinion is the anime equivalent of breaking spaghetti noodles in front of an Italian. I uhh, do like Outlaw Star though. That one's pretty good. Maybe that redeems me.

From, KYDE
