Although I've seen some anime animations before, I never really paid attention to the strong details, the shadows, and the overall beautiful drawings. I love how the animation had a fantasy like feel to it. It made me feel like I was in a different world. Also, everything included in the video had some type of detail, no matter how small or irrelevant. For example, in the beginning, the character was struggling to get safely down the stairs. When I looked closely, you can see every grain and splinter in the wood. Also, I loved how much emotion was in this scene. You can see in her face and her body movements that the poor girl was frightened and cautious.
Another detail I thought was great is the use of shadows. Every step and movement the character made was followed by a realistic shadow. Also, there were constant highlights and shadows on her clothes and body depending on where she was. Although I did not understand the story-line as much, I felt really sorry for the main character even though it was unrealistic. I also loved the creativity of the story.
Lastly, another detail I noticed was the water. Rather than showing every detail, they used parts of it to show the flow of the water. The put highlights and strips of color to make it look like it was pouring out of the bath and like a foam detail at the top. Also, I loved the rain throughout the middle of the scene. I was watching how he did it, hoping to gain some tips :). It was so simple, yet really powerful. Each drop had a small puddle but it created so much emphasis. I really enjoyed this film and find I have more appreciation and respect for anime and animation as a whole!
