So what have you been up to lately?

I moved to Los Angeles at the beginning of June to work at Shadow Machine for a while. I’ll probably return home to Toronto once the job finishes. I’m working mainly as an animator, but also designing and directing a short entirely on my own, which is pretty exciting. The job has been a lot of fun so far, but between that and getting settled in a new city I’ve been too busy to post much. I do have a backlog of sketchbook stuff I need to post soon though.
once Zac from ANN was defending literally every other writer's decision to ignore the animation in Idolmaster episode 1 and give it an F or whatever by default for being moe because 'these are veteran reviewers so I'm sure they've seen their share of animation and didn't find it remotely impressive'. I kept saying 'just watch it yourself and you'll see what I mean' so he finally did and then gave it the only positive review on the site. and the only one that mentioned the visuals
I like Zac and Justin’s show. They are usually pretty fair about things.
Yeah that reviewer has no understanding of art. I do agree with him about the dub itself though. The 3rd season of the dub was weaker than the others and featured the most strained, distracting script changes. I always thought it was well-cast and acted, but the further the scripts veered from the originals, the less interested I became.
Ok fine I’ll check out this ANN Shin Chan review
the Shin Chan review was literally posted two days ago. also I defended the new FMA movie by saying "The Girl Who Leapt Through Time had similar instances of detail loss and off model in certain scenes and it was a beautiful movie with amazing art" and the writer responded by saying "well see, I had the same problems with TGWLTT and I would've given a low art score to that one, too". So... at least there's no double standards I guess.
Hmm. Not sure why they were reviewing Shin Chan again, but anyway if they say the Girl Who Leapt Through Time looks bad as well, that’s a sign that you should just stop reading. I can’t believe anybody would say that about TGWLTT.
