From the first episode of Gundam SEED. Probably about the most innocent motive we can ascribe is that dark colouring was avoided for aesthetic reasons.
Perhaps more curious than the choice of material for the basis of the shot, the decision to recolour the characters, and the inability of animators to draw a small band without a photographic reference, is how anyone actually found the source image… Truly the image analysis powers of 2ch are impressive.
They say art imitates life…
So if people come to a point where they bash other people for “Simmonizing” photographs, then what’s an artist to do?
Imagination can’t be the basis of everything.
I know that place! It’s right at the entrance of Yoyogi park! I used to go there every Sunday and watch the Goths ;D
what, they don’t like puttin black people in anime.
racist bastards
盗作だ、人種差別だ、とか騒ぐ前に
アニメを楽しみたまえ。楽しくなければ見るな。
日本人より
日本人じゃねだろ？
楽しくなければ、騒ぎましょう。面白いですから。
I doubt it was really anything racial. It seems like they wanted to make a pretense of originality. But you never know.
