Misleading blog post topic aside, one advantage of computer-assisted/generated techniques in animation is that we no longer are at the mercy of the artist at the canvas. Life is no longer an image, but a set of vectors and rules governing motion. It means two things.

Fireworks that no longer looks like moving neon lights.

No longer being able to call out on cheap animation when a manzai comedy anime take place entirely within the same setting, with the same characters.

I’m squarely in the camp of embracing my future overlords today.
