Comment on Atelier Meruru Cutest Atelier Ever by HouseLife:

A lot of it is how the colors interact yes, but it’s more of how they interact in a dreamlike fashion. The characters almost appear self-illuminated, like they’re more celestial than the world they inhabit, and to a degree I believe that’s intentional. They don’t have lighting as their friend when it comes to cell shading usually. Lighting becomes rather difficult to integrate when it’s limited like that, so this is apparently sort of a simultaneous solution to making the characters that much more ‘dreamy’ and making it unnecessary to worry about shadows too much.

I’m sure some scenes will work better than others. It’s basically like they’re in perpetual sunlight. When they’re not in sunlight, it’ll probably look a bit odd.

All I know is Rorona was just an all-around extremely enjoyable experience, and I was never distracted by the art. All I hope is Totori gets here soon, and this soon to follow.

It’s part of their genetic makeup in general. The proportion of their …

  The worst part is after the information about social gaming surpassing Nintendo, they’re not really doing anything evil or stupid considering their financial woes. Something that I can’t even begin to wrap my head around is happening and it’s scaring me like the older person I’m becoming. For the first time in my life I can understand the past generations when they can only shake their heads in incredulity at the younger generations, because it just quite simply does not compute in our …
