Astroboy
I watched the anime of Astroboy. I was
quite surprised that an anime (limited animation) made such a long time ago, is
so high in quality and well made in animation. Also, I think Astroboy is in
various aspects quite different from some anime that are being made today.
Some anime took advantage of limited
animation to a great extent. They move the
characters just enough for the story to carry on, but Astroboy isn't always
like that. This piece uses a fair amount of gestures and body movements for the
lip sync for more sufficient depiction of the emotion of the characters in the
story.
The style is of a
typical “Osamu Tezuka” style, with big eyes and roundish-looking body-type
characters. There is also a lot of shape variation with different characters in
the anime.
Astroboy reminds me of Pinnochio in a lot
of ways. Theay are both about a father wanting their creation to become a real
boy and a son. Both stories focus on originally lifeless and inanimate objects
coming to life, and have souls and human emotions, and were capable of love and
compassion.
