It's a feast for the eyes to see the latest episode, and every single picture creates an illusion from which one can get lost. The artistic renderings of the animation are extensively detailed compared to what it means to view an animated series. It uses animated quality to convey the narrative, and it's done to perfection. Something that resonated was the idea of the framing of the animation itself. The overall framing and composition appeared to play a great deal into rendering a lot of rendering. For instance, during more dramatic parts, the frames grew clipped more to box people in and their emotions. During more tranquil moments, the extended frames rendered expansiveness of space to emphasize how small one might feel or how intimate the space might be. The angled renderings and the general zooming in and out of scenes made it as if everything was actually happening almost around you. Something else that was huge was the color wheel. The colors weren't for decoration-or at least, they weren't in the end-but rather they helped with the emotionality of the scene. Where there was more danger, more blood reds and black tones were used. Where softer, calmer scenes existed, viewers experienced light blues and greens. Therefore, warm and cool colors were used deliberately for proper emotional guidance and adjustment. Illumination was crucial as well. Not just for visibility but for depth and strength. When there were fight scenes, strong lighting hit these battles even harder as the strength behind each character with each blow was adequately framed. Whether a harsh spotlight on a character during an unexpected twist or a low, hazy, soft light that froze a character in a pensive, reflective look, the scenes were more about character growth due to the lighting instead. The quality of the animation, in fact, was extraordinarily fluid. Movement, gesture, even facial expressions were rendered in perfect timing. The characters existed and were interactively layered such that even the wind blowing through a character's hair was animated as if it was something the viewer would (and did) notice. Such a level of quality in detail added to the animation's realism and allowed the viewers to become even more invested in the characters. In addition, the animation helped solidify the timing of the episode. For example, when scenes had emotion that required a slower gesture, it rendered in slower quality, a poignant manifestation of meaning; when moments required a faster gesture, it rendered as such, creating the immediacy of action. Either way, every moment that transitioned into another did so effortlessly to ensure the episode retained its momentum. Ultimately, this episode worked beautifully as a film through techniques like hand-drawn animation, color and lighting choices, and the fluidity of movement throughout.
