Is it spoiler[the girl from The Trip by Kihachiro Kawamoto]?
The work is mostly animated, but isn't this image from a portion made up of photographic images of real people? Is it acceptable to use non-animated images from a mixed-media work like this? |

Yes, you're right, Calathan.
As for your query, sorry if you're thinking the image offends the spirit of the game. Obviously this animation is itself experimental; pushing the envelope of what's allowed in the game was not my intention, however! (I will admit that reading a recent post about anime and style had me itching to choose something I knew that was clearly not "anime style".) I don't know much about terminology, but as far as I know "animation" is used to describe things that include stop-motion live-action photography of real people as well as of puppets and drawings. And also animation commonly includes non-moving shots. And what I was intending was to choose something a bit amusing and unexpected rather than trick anyone. In any reference resource guessers might check, surely spoiler[Tabi] will be described as a work of "animation" (or "collage animation"). If I can put in a plug for spoiler[Tabi,] do watch it if you haven't. It's only painful the first time. 
Edit: @Past I see your point. I don't know if she's an anime character. But she's definitely a a character from an anime. And I wonder whether your reasoning might end up ruling out one-off experimental anime altogether, which wouldn't be desirable. |

Personally, I would say characters from stop motion animation using dolls or puppets or things like that is fine, but I think images of actual people shouldn't be used (even if they are from a work that is mostly anime).
Anyway, here is the next character:

I actually really liked the image that ailbletyn used and don't feel it at all falls outside the spirit of the game. I feel like it's akin to using a still from the "drawn in crayon" moments that a few series have had, etc. As long as the overall film (or whatever this would be classed as) was mostly anime, then I'd say it's fine. That being said, if the majority of film is live action with just a short scene being animated (ala Kill Bill 2), then I would say that falls outside the scope of the game.
I know I've seen a few anime that have done stuff like this, at least during the credits, although I can no longer think of specific examples. I was surprised the image was from the 70s though--every time I looked at it, it made me think of Honey and Clover (probably due to the stop motion OP). |

P.S. If anyone wants to check out the (12 minute) anime from which my image was drawn to make up their minds about the issues raised above, it's up on YouTube (search spoiler[The Trip - Kihachiro Kawamoto]). And it's included on the KINO DVD spoiler[The Exquisite Short Films of Kihachiro Kawamoto]).
No idea on the current image. |
