Theres A Lot Of Scooby Doo Stuff On Netflix

There’s a lot of Scooby Doo stuff on Netflix

Loving the collar design here, it reminds me of those big collared Zeon ones. Also like how organic it looks, like teeth or an oystershell, or exposed flesh cells.

Question; would the shield eye be static? Or would it move around like a bubble?

I like the little dress caps as well. Did you have a certain scene in mind for this (Sabina’s expression seems purposeful to me)?

My favourite page from the Complete Character Book <3 (no duh!) I love Ito Yu's art a whole bunch, and even though the art style and character designs were what got me to check the show out in the first place, I don't think Chiba's anime adaptation fully does it justice. That's because the anime has a very rigid, hard-shaded look, while Ito's art has this soft, voluminous three-dimensionality to it. Especially when it comes to hair and cavernous clothing that seems to engulf the characters. It's so unique. I also like her preference for a more stocky build with her characters, gives some variety from your typical noodle anime silhouette. Plus the endless variety of facial features on display. Her rough drafts for the show are a display of incredible skill and talent all on their own. Here's some interesting notes on the page:

Shino's particularly wide shoulders are to differentiate him from Akihiro, who is wide and sturdy all over, and from Orga, who is slim and narrow like a straight line.

Akihiro is built like a judoka, he always tucks his shirt in.

Shino is built like an olympic swimmer or a basketball player.

His shoulders are really wide.

Further notes on Shino: Both ears pierced, cheerful, muscular, short hair, Latino appearance.

The crying Shino sketch is from when he's mourning Denji, the quote above says: "Didn't you say that, Danji?"

When Yamagi's hair is lifted it reveals his beautiful face with japanese features.

Yamagi is beautiful but he's also strong.

Yamagi has small, short eyebrows and a shallow nose bridge.

He's quiet and unobtrusive but he likes being with everyone else.

Tekkadan uniform was designed by Juuki Maejima, Ito Yu's husband. Jackets and pants are a common feature, underneath are random t-shirts and tank tops. Yu's comment on Shino: "Initially he had short dreadlocks*. To be honest I thought he was going to be a very minor character, kind of a small fry (lol). It was a great surprise to see him become such an active participant. I didn't expect it to be an ensemble drama which gave spotlight to so many characters, I thought the other Tekkadan members were rather minor characters at first. They've all become important people." Yu's comment on Yamagi: "My impression of him was someone of asian descent, so I was surprised to see that he ended up blonde. His hairstyle seems to reflect the director's image of an introvert. It's only when Shino caressed his head that both his eyes were revealed, and I think that's why grown-up Yamagi in the last episode decided to lift his bangs and show both his eyes. Grownup Yamagi wasn't something included in my proposal, I was very impressed with the artistic skill of showing his whole heart at a glance with just a single image." *I have also seen it mentionned on twitter that Shino initially also had a lot darker skin. As a result of several edits he gradually ended up looking more like Asian/Latino mix. The reason why his design was changed were never given, but my take is that dreads were deemed too difficult to animate for someone they thought would be a minor character.

i think gacha is an inherently harmful format for basically anything but it's really funny to find one that's based on an IP that can't sustain a gacha pace without reaching really really really deep into it's forgotten corners for new content.

There's a gundam gacha i play once in a blue moon in part due to it needing to go to extreme lengths for banners. we're talking mechs that literally only appeared in one magazine for one page back in the 80s, stuff from mangas nobody has ever heard of, a dude that was in the background of an anime 30 years ago for 0.3 seconds. all hyped up as the coolest new thing to gamble on.

I feel like someone could write a 2 hour video essay about the similarities of the Zero System from Gundam Wing and the Gund Format from G Witch.
