Kokou no Hito Chapter 125 126 127 124 translate

on Tuesday, March 22, 2011

As with the writing, the artistry is at its best when showing characters in space or exterior shots of objects in space. The level of technical detail is exceptional and impressive, making this one of the best of all anime series to date in that regard. Character designs, while always very distinctive and realistically-proportioned, seem just a little flat, as do the color schemes and artistry in general. (And what's up with Ai's maroon-colored eyes?) Background detail is good, however, as is use of CG effects, while the integration with character animation is so flawless that the viewer is unlikely to notice. The frequent use of zero-G environments necessitates a much greater degree of motion by the characters than would normally be seen in a block of episodes with a relatively small amount of true action scenes, but the fluid, consistent animation proves well worthy of the task. The series also gets a lot of mileage out of the animation of facial expressions, though it does not resort to the use of hyper-exaggerated expressions seen in many light-hearted anime series. The opener, which features (and names) the central characters against a backdrop of animated versions of important scenes and people from the history of space exploration, is an artistic winner, while the closer, which features Hachirota progressing on a path toward space as he grows up, is also well-handled.
