Studio Bones

Studio Bones is well known for producing anime such as Mob Psycho 100, Eureka Seven, Fullmetal Alchemist, My Hero Academia, and many more fan-favorites. Studio Bones was founded in October of 1998 by former Sunrise Inc. members Masahiko Minami, Hiroshi Osaka, and Toshihiro Kawamoto. They left in hopes of making their own studio, and have had great success.

Within Studio Bones, there are five studios, labeled Studio A through E. They each specialize in the different anime they're working on. For instance, Studio C is led by Yoshihiro Oyabu and is known for currently only working on My Hero Academia.

Studio Bones has produced anime adaptations of manga. This includes Fullmetal Alchemist originally by Hiromu Arakawa, Soul Eater by Atsushi Okubo, and several others.

Manga - Anime

The greatest thing about Studio Bones is the fluidity in their work. Whether it's their original work or an anime adaptation of a manga, this consistency is prominent in all of their works. Anime such as Eureka Seven, Mob Psycho 100, Space Dandy, and Dragon Pilot have certain styles that make them unique and recognizable. Studio Bones' animations are always of the highest quality and showcase the strengths of the studio. They truly know how to make their drawings come to life.

Indice 50

Indice 50 is a short film by ESMA. The story follows a family on their beach day which gets interrupted by a mosquito. The reason I chose this short animation is because I really liked the style of it. The drawing style reminded me of Pixar and all of the details were really well drawn. Although the film was an animation, it appeared quite realistic. I also really enjoyed the use of the difference in scaling between the characters and objects. For example, the dads character was purposely drawn to be big, so it was interesting to watch him holding objects that are significantly smaller than him. I also loved the transition where the story shifts to the mosquito's point of view, because it adds more to the story and was really interesting to watch. I think this is a great animation short. I recommend that everyone view this film.

Hair love

This is a short film about a African American father who had to do his daughters hair for the first time. It is an Oscar-Winning short animated film from Matthew A. Cherry.
The project was a collaboration with Sony Pictures Animation that was created as a Kickstarter campaign back in 2017 with a fundraiser goal of $75,000. Strong support promote collected almost $300,000, making it the most funded short film in Kickstarter history.
I picked this film because I liked the topic of  it being about hair. Little African American girls sometimes experience having to deal with hair problems or shall I say a parent unable to do their hair at some point. I like the color contrast, layout and the topic. I really enjoyed this short film.

Hope you enjoy...
