most anime in the late eighties to the early 1990's had a style similiar to this, everything was far more detailed to a point of near ridiculousness. Some examples include the guys that did the Macross Do you remember love movie and stuff that Yoshiaki Kawajiri, the guy that made Ninja Scroll and the second Vampire Hunter D did. Its only recently that anime art design has regressed to oversimplified styles, I'm glad that it seems like they are going back to the late 80's 1990's OVA style. |
Let me clarify, it's bleeding edge in terms of animation techniques. I'll agree it's a retro style, but it's made with modern techniques. Kind of reminiscent of Casshern Sins, but on a whole 'nother level. Regardless, I have seen plenty of old anime and that is NOT the style it uses. It does have a similar level of detail (at times, old anime can vary greatly in quality depending on how much animation is necessary), but that doesn't make their styles similar. Facial structure, shading, etc. are all reminiscent of American comics, not old anime.
