Real talk here. Working on this made me appreciate comic book artists even more, just based off of the speed-to-quality ratio. Mangaka are crazy, it's an insane amount of work.

Every time I watch an anime that has great art and animation I can never help but just think about how much effort actually goes into actually achieving it.

I’m just there in awe like, “Someone is actually hand-drawing each frame. And the high budget stuff can have upwards of 20,000 of them”.

I know they have different teams that work on different ‘layers’ and ‘keys’ and stuff - but holy hell I cannot imagine just how much work a single animator does - especially with how small the animation teams actually are most of the time.

Arcane, is probably the most beautifully animated piece I'd seen in years. I got that feeling super often during lulls in the story :)
