Hello! I'm a writer and an occasional musician.

I like exploring different genres of anime, but nowadays I'm most consistently impressed by abstract shorts with interesting use of shapes and colours. Dementia stuff can be interesting too, but I don't shy away from mainstream anime.

My scores are pretty low because I've watched so many short videos which may not be that great, but hey, at least it only took 2 minutes of my life. Also, if a series is entertaining but like sugary fluff, nice to binge but which didn't touch me on a deeper level, then I'll score it 6. That goes for a lot of popular anime on this site. It means I did still enjoy it. I don't like most comedy, I just don't get the Japanese sense of humour that well.

I'm currently a secretary in the Stop-Motion Appreciation Society club. Here is our club spreadsheet.

Favourite shorts and music videos in this stack.

I only accept friend requests when there's at least a note attached or we've exchanged a few words.

The actual rows are added through an automated script and should not be removed. We are only manually editing a couple of the columns for the MAL pages, archival status, and video quality.

e.g. for Paprika, those actually link to two different NHK pages:
https://www.nhk.or.jp/minna/songs/MIN201908_03/
https://www.nhk.or.jp/minna/songs/MIN201908_05/
However, they are both for the same video, so we link to only one MAL entry.

There are multiple older examples, e.g. Koinu no Plue, which had the same video rebroadcast with a different singer performing the song. We can add credits for both versions and try to keep track of sources individually, but it would only receive one MAL entry since there is no new animation.

Kwanthemaster Oct 13, 10:40 AM

Correct, it has been fixed now, thanks!

Kwanthemaster Sep 23, 10:46 AM

The same rules apply to every university. The industry role requirement is a bit loose though - it can be anything from key animation in a series, to a commercial, music video, ect. If they've won an award somewhere (it's unclear exactly which ones or what level of award MAL recognizes though), or if it's featured on a paid streaming service (e.g. U-NEXT) that will also allow it to be added. There is also discussion that at some point they may allow all works which have received official physical releases, which would allow a lot of the Geidai films to qualify, since DVD compilations exist for some of the years (e.g. https://www.amazon.co.jp/dp/4904049233)

I agree though that it is unfortunate that all of them do not qualify. If I had it my way, there would be no doujin rules, or at least try make it more inclusive over time, as I do recognize that there are lots of schools out there with decades' worth of student films, so that opens up quite a lot.

Added.

Kwanthemaster Sep 20, 10:54 AM

Thanks, added! I had the other ones from Inaba, so I'm not sure why I missed that one.

LMAOOO THE FISH XD

Yeah, thank goodness staff involved in the production are credited in newer MVs making it easier to find staff to be added in the DB. I also submitted some staff for other MVs before but they got denied because MAL only has few positions unlike in AniList. So for ZUTOMAYO MVs, I just check AniList for staff since they list more people.

I agree. Sometimes, some stop-motion animations look dull and boring to me. But whenever I see the behind-the-scenes, I appreciate the labor and process as well as get a new perspective...

I actually found the filters used in both YOASOBI MVs pleasant. I wouldn't be able to identify them as stop-motion if you didn't tell me. Because most stop-motion animations don't use those kinds of filters or lightings. I noticed in the credits that they have a colorists. Well, kudos to that staff!

IridescentJaune Sep 11, 9:39 AM

Ah, I guess I should move my reply there as well...

IridescentJaune Sep 11, 9:04 AM

Hmm, so if we can prove that there's a segment/s of the MV with actual stop-motion then the MV can be added to the club?

But then Taiyo Kikaku's official site doesn't really detail everything (like if they used stop-motion, etc.). Just the company's role in the production of their works.
https://www.taiyokikaku.com/works/mv/heart-beat?en
https://www.taiyokikaku.com/works/mv/yoasobi-blue?en

This is the first time I checked their site and found that they've been involved in several titles that are already in the DB. But anime pages don't list them on the sidebars or staff tabs.
https://www.taiyokikaku.com/en/

Wish there are some behind-the-scenes so we could confirm the techniques used. Dwarf has several BTS of their works. Maybe checking sites/blogs of artists/staff could give us some clue but that'd be tedious.

IridescentJaune Sep 10, 4:55 PM

Alright. I just added Heart Beat (2023) to the stack citing the involvement of TECARAT (production designer and assistant production designer).

Those were cutouts? The MV doesn't look like stop-motion because of the nice filter used.

I'm thinking of adding Gunjou to one of my stop-motion-related stacks but it's not in the club relations. Uhm, so it's not stop-motion? It looks more stop-motion to me but I'm not really well-versed in the medium and its techniques... With today's technology, it's getting harder and harder to tell which are really stop-motion and just made to look like stop-motion at first glance.

Potato-Chhan Aug 16, 9:57 AM

Yesss! I also love to think about how much time it took the creator to create the stop-motion. I always have a huge respect towards them, no matter if the short is good or not. And like you said, the humor. Its really nice to giggle while watching something that's supposed to be scary. Not the route I was going, but still amusing!

Kwanthemaster Aug 7, 4:13 PM

That's a nice update, thank you! I'll provide some feedback when I make the time to look through it more thoroughly, but I really appreciate your work compiling all of this.

Potato-Chhan Aug 7, 9:35 AM

Thank you so much for the horror stop motion interest stalk! I was looking for exactly that yesterday and pouf, today someone made it! I can't believe my luck XD

abystoma2 Aug 6, 12:49 AM

Thanks.

Funny thing is, I have two monitors and one of them is positioned vertically, so I can fuly enjoy those even without a phone.

Cleome Jun 25, 9:09 AM

Thanks Feorg for letting me know about the available film and also thanks for updating me on new stop-motion submissions. Lately, I haven't ha a lot of time on my hands to do anything much related to anime :( So this means a lot to me, thank you so much friend <3
