it's also interesting (..at least for me, idk for others) to see how simple characters designs choice for that anime era too (even the wackier ones like five star stories, where they emphasize shapes over random swirls/segmentation)
...man, for someone born in early 2000s, I sound like a boomer coomer
tldr : I miss those 80s/90s animu art style with their dull + bright color mix, large wacky hairs (and shoulder pads) and violent, camp edgy plot
idk why, I like the edgy camp side of the 80s/90s animu fare (despite the stereotype that 80s/90s ""always"" feature pastel purple aesthetic with sparkly shoujo eyes)
I love the dull and neon combo color palettes too
I wish toei's mononoke got another new season *__*
this one really hits all my taste. I wish I could see more (I've seen the ayakashi horror story episode too)
@MakotoKinnie I really don't get ppl who claims "p2 kaneko fans hates d0i and s0ejima" when I've seen A LOT of them enjoys d0i and s0e's input for the game and love how the team interprets kaneko's artwork without losing his art style. Pretty much a "what if kaneko turns into a 90s anime?"
@MakotoKinnie that's like calling renaissance art "sick and depressed". From what I see. Kaneko felt like he's trying to emulate renaissance art and pulp fiction of the past which fits with the apocalypse/occult theme of SMT and the cyberpunk mood of devil summoner
@BoyAm_I_Thirsty @VelvetiqueG yeaaaaahhh that's even the stranger part. It's just strange to see a guy who's so passionate on making designs (that never made it to SMT) and talking about his faves shows to just disappear like a smoke
when [b]ersona/SMT 1/2 teams had made something like monark/caligula/etc
I don't despise the new direction (I've played p345), but I miss the 80s/90s gritty aesthetic.
That's why even if Kanek0 isn't involved in any 4TLUS project anymore, I would gladly see him making his own works does novel arts like jiken series or making fanarts of his fave shows
