Topic: Progressive anime


  
  Progressive animation - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Progressive Animation is a term that was first coined by Brian C. Wilkinson of the Hayao Miyazaki Mailing List (A discussion group mainly focused on the films of Hayao Miyazaki and Isao Takahata) back in the early 1990s.
Progressive animation is very closely related to alternative comics, in that both are works in their respected medium that go against traditional views of their mediums.
Progressive animation artists want to do something vastly different than what is commonly accepted as animation experimenting in genres and visual styles that were thought inappropriate for the medium.

Like the broader term progressive animation, progressive anime refers to anime that truly breaks boundaries and goes in the face of cliches in the medium.

 The Ultimate Anime Dog Breeds Information Guide and Reference   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
Anime (アニメ) is Japanese animation, often characterized by stylized colorful images depicting vibrant characters in a variety of different settings and storylines, aimed at a variety of different audiences.
Anime is often an explicitly commercial art form; producers and marketers aim for very specific audiences, with focused categories for shōnen (boys) and shōjo (girls) genres, as well as for teenagers and adults.
Anime studios have since perfected techniques to draw as little new animation as possible, using scrolling or repeating backgrounds, still shots of characters sliding across the screen, and dialogue which involves only animating the mouths while the rest of the screen remains absolutely still, a technique not wholly unfamiliar to Western animation.

 Anime on DVD
Anime shows (even TV series) are actually made on film or similarly to film - there are certain, fixed frames that are actually produced - and would be best suited to progressive presentation, but by the time anime gets to a DVD it is normally coming from a video master, not film.
Hopefully, in the future, anime masters will be made directly from the original frames in digital format, and then we might get perfect-quality progressive video even for TV shows.
