The Endless Emotions In A Random Run Cycle
In this music video, a character run cycle is repeated over and over again. Everything else in the frame — the backgrounds, effects, etc. — is completely redesigned each time the run cycle resets. It’s amazing how swapping out these seemingly secondary elements can completely change the emotion of the animation. It’s also a great reminder that EVERY part of the animation process is immensely important!
Note: The song is Transfer, by Livetune, with vocals by Japanese voice actress Nakajima Megumi. The animation was done by Fantasista Utamaro and Kubotabee.

Recommended: Sci-Fi Cartoons
I recently interviewed War of the Worlds: Goliath director — and science fiction fanatic — Joe Pearson for Animation Scoop. (Click here to read.) The intended topic was WofW:G (now available on iTunes!), but as I’m an animation junkie always looking for a fresh fix, I decided to use my last question for purely selfish reasons:
“What SF cartoons would you recommend to animation fans exploring the genre?”
Cartoon Review: gdgd Fairies
gdgd Fairies puts the ‘sweet’ in “Sweet Jesus, what am I watching?!”
My current cartoon obsession, the one that has all but whisked me away from family, friends and my gal, Mishka, is gdgd Fairies. It’s a lo-fi anime series about three young fairies (naive pkpk, troublemaker shrshr and deadpan krkr) with limited magical abilities and lots and lots to say.
I love it. Will you?
I dunno. That really depends on your penchant for surreal silliness and Nth degree meta-humor, not to mention perversely plotted segments linked together using only the flimsiest of premises. Did you like David Cross and Bob Odenkirk’s Mr. Show? Cuz gdgd Fairies is a lot like that. Except where Bob and Dave were working in sketch and stand-up, gdgd creator/animator Sōta Sugaharathe uses anime and YouTube clips.
