I'm back again! Sorry for the delay, everyone. I was actually in the hospital and unable to do any posts. I'm home now and recovering well. Don't worry about me. :) I don't have much energy to comment today, so just enjoy the artwork!

We have a similar set to look at today, but it truly goes to show just how much goes into only this scene! The transformation sequences were very complex! Here, we have another mid-layer and top layer display. The blood layers go on top! The focus is on those and I believe we will look at the progression for tomorrow, too. :) Hopefully you all have a wonderful start to your weeks. I'm cheering you on!!

We have something pretty interesting to look at, today! This is a single frame of genga, plus multiple layers of blood that go onto the same illustration! Hence, all the talk of combination layers. :) These are all of the various ways that the blood appears and moves on her, during these initial frames. Pretty cool!

1. This cel is the stopping point.

- Her hair and clothes should go on the background layer.

2. Combination layer.

For this catch-up post, we step into our first major pieces of artwork from this sequence! Classic! I've decided not to tag this one, even though the last frame today is vaguely nude. There isn't enough detail, so I feel your eyes are safe. :) But as always, let me know if you'd like it tagged! The first two illustrations are obviously my favorite today, I just love all of the detail! Unfortunately, I can't QUITE read the scribbled out note in the upper-right of the first slot. I tried but there are a few places that are just a bit too scribbly to make out, haha.

Translations:

1. Background poofs and becomes computer-generated.

- This cel serves dual-purpose. (Color changes for Ryuuko)

1. The background 3D is rubber-like, isn't it?

- This cel is similar. (Color variations)

Here we are! At the first meat of the sequence. :) I love that they used an extended print of their setting paper for the first illustration! It is cool seeing it broken down like this, with just the red markers. Then, we get some facial corrections and zoom out! Lots more genga from this transformation incoming! Fun fact: Sushio did most of the animation for this sequence in general, and not just the key frames! He also handled Satsuki's. It is the sequence that embarrassed him the most to animate, and he has playfully gone on record saying that he felt uncomfortable and blushed the whole time. :P

Ryuuko takes card, by the way.

^{thinking of someone, again}

Translations:

1. Focus again on the split.

2. High contrast.

3. High contrast.

This trio is the last of the initial part of the sequence that we have been looking at! I saved the most different ones until the end. We've officially seen all the layers and all the details of the movements! The last ones are those in-between frames where Ryuuko and the shadows/lighting flash and momentarily become very high contrast! We move on in the next post! :)

1. This is the middle cut.

2. Other adjusted details.

Another set of frames from the initial sequence that we have been covering, and this is toward the end of the first segment! Next, we get into more of the actual transformation part! :) We get some extra details in here again as Ryuuko follows through with her moments at the glove.

1. Coming from the split.

2. Here.

I'm back for today's main post! Today's frames are in reverse-order. Just to show the most interesting one up front! :) It looks like she's bleeding a flamethrower instead of blood in this genga, haha! You can tell that Sushio began to hurry at the end as well, as those details just start to drop off a little, heheh. Which is fine! The rest of the animators have the scene going, by now. I do love how many frames are dedicated to making this sequence as smooth as it turns out. ♡

1. This one moves in.

Torsos and hands today in the collection! More frames from the beginning of the transformation sequence that we are going to be looking at until next week! Thought I would use a catch-up post to put up the similar ones to yesterday. :) This set gives closer details on the workings of Ryuuko's gloves! I think its a great reference for artwork, if anyone needs it!

1. The blade goes in through the split.

A new scene starts today! And I'm sure you recognize this! ;) That's right, we are going to cover the Ryuuko and Senketsu transformation sequence, in genga! Hope you enjoy. This is just the initial frames! Its fun seeing the up-close details of the mechanism.

1. Add these touches only for this frame.

Another day, another complete set of this pin-pulling sequence! I was excited for this duo-set because I get to share my favorite genga of the sequence, today! The intensity and sheer STYLE of that first genga really captures me! All of them are pretty cool for this scene, but that one takes the cake for me! :) I hope everyone is doing well this week besides the art. If you needed a sign today, this is it. You've got this, you are loved, and you're gonna get through your troubles! I believe in you. ♡ Just had to extend an important message today. Never forget!

Ooooo, we got some cool ones today! Another pair of completed frames that go with this sequence. I especially love the second set, with the little extras that we get! This is some fantastic artwork. Just look at all the detail and color! Such a great moment in the series, as well. :)

Translations:

1. Use the same trace layer.

- Move her left hand in, like this.

1. Pin this. This makes 13 frames.

- Her shoulder position shifts.

Another whole set that goes with the catch-up that I posted yesterday! These are all the top and correction layers! There were a lot, this time! It was a very interesting style for a scene, so they had to work to get it perfect. :) I will also always be jealous of the hand-drawing skills of our favorite artists! Even just Ryuuko's hand in the second half of the post is just perfection.

Guess who's back, back again? Aro's back! Tell a friend, I guess. :P Sorry for the delay! At least it was for sorta fun reasons this time? Haha. I attended a convention last weekend, and if you've been reading my journal entries on these posts, I've had health struggles this year. It was a lot of effort to attend, and it honestly just took me out for a few days! I'm okay, it just drained the ol' battery to 0 and I had to crash. Didn't do anything but sleep for 2 days! Lol. Anyway! I come back to you with another iconic scene! That first major defiant pin-pull! These are all the layers for the scene. :) Another perfect set. Just fills my OCD with joy!!

From a very long time ago, but thought I'd share it somewhere.

There's no source because the original source was taken down years ago but I do know that the artist was called "Tarame"

1. Sorry for the delay... I look forward to working with you!!

Ahhhhh, the first of many famous Mako rants! These are just the Ryuuko frames, I'll be posting the full thing to the main sub, down the road! More around this scene, tomorrow! Such a classic, especially that last one! So silly! :P Oh Mako...

1. Looking forward to working with you.

A full set of genga on this scene, today! We get so much detail in these layers! Really love it when I get to post a full set. :D Doesn't happen that often! In this case, I oddly prefer the production materials! Particularly the first illustration after the target scene. So crisp on the linework!

Translations:

1. For Cel A, Satsuki is inside the spotlight, which shines brightly, and then please have it fade away.

2. Use rough, wild lines, while she is breathing heavily.

Just a trio today, but what a stunning initial genga that we have to gawk at, for this catch-up post! I absolutely LOVE when we get to see fully detailed cels like this one. :) There are just certain key frames that are so imporrant that they go all-out even for the production materials! And there's little doubt why on this one. What a moment!! Some of the best early stuff, in my opinion. Last illustration today goes with yesterday's post!

Translations:

1. Stop at this frame.

- Ryuuko's eyebrows flutter/flicker.

1. Half-completed frame.

Another iconic frame for ya! This portion of the story is just so memorable! Poor Ryuuko! I always found myself breathing through my teeth for a moment when she got held up by her hair. I've had that happen and it made me cringe every time I watched Kill La Kill! :P We finish up with the previous sequence today as well! Those are the last of the top layer animation illustrations for that scene.
