animation

Description

Animation is the art of breathing life into still images, seducing audiences into blissful reality denial. However, that seduction is forged in the hell of endless frame tweaks by its creators. Fans binge heroes and catgirl antics while dissecting every color slip and timing lapse. Ultimately, it is an impenetrable excuse engine: any flaw can be chalked up as “artistic intent.”

Definitions

A device that delivers both escapism and accumulating fatigue through continuous playback of moving pictures.
An art form that creates one second of drama with just 24 frames, grinding the creator’s bones into powder.
The ultimate viewer manipulation that compels audiences to share someone’s fantasies as a collective delusion.
A deceptive technology that defies physical laws of reality, allowing cats to hover in mid-air indefinitely.
A stage where the creator’s screams hidden between frames are unknowingly embraced by the audience.
A black hole that consumes time and budget the more one pursues smooth motion.
A lie that finally deceives human ears only when voice actors and sound effects are layered on.
A bias enabled by slapping genre labels on any result to guarantee a certain level of appraisal.
An emotion machine that manipulates viewers, blurring the lines between laughter and tears.
A clever hook that forces rewatching and repeat monetization by inserting a “next episode preview” at the end.

Examples

“Another key animation fail? That’s just the creator’s unique flair.”
“60 frames per second? That’s just viewers’ unrealistic fantasy.”
“That scene’s movement? The voice actor just got too excited.”
“Motion capture? It’s the tech that captures human exhaustion.”
“A perfect one-hit kill? A miracle born from runaway cut counts.”

“Mixing in 3D CG? An adventurous fusion of the unknown.”
“Another comedy episode? Staff needed a breather, clearly.”
“A moving title logo? Instant mystical magic.”
“Lazy background? It only highlights the characters more.”
“Too many cuts by the director? Just extra fan service.”
“This season’s trend? Infinite sword fights.”
“Broadcast delay? The staff needed rest.”
“Murdering the source material? That’s the thrill of remakes.”
“Opening theme? If it doesn’t get stuck in your head, it failed.”
“Lavish end credits? A rally of contributors’ souls.”
