I'm glad the AE artists are getting work. At least, I hope that's the case.

Image is from a new anime, Metallic Rouge.

Amy 5* for reference.

that looks cool! do you think it was influenced by Amy's Another Eden? Amy herself looks heavily influenced by FF7's Tifa :-)

but you're right, her color scheme and especially her pose has a strong resemblance to Amy's 5 star art.

the character designer for Metallic Rouge, Toshihiro Kawamoto, also did character design for Cowboy Bebop. do you think he plays Another Eden? if so, that's a great homage and compliment!

if you see the trailer video on their website, i see some influences of Neon Genesis Evangelion too in her transformed form.

Amy as a nod to Tifa is definitely in the realm of homage, and I'm guessing intentional. My point here was more about the composition (it's a slightly modified mirror flip).

That said, as you point out, this could also be an homage moment. I know mangaka and anime makers see "borrowing" very differently than litigious North American media companies, so I would figure this is that.

Also, I want to believe Kawamoto-san plays AE.

ok yea, i think i was grasping at words in my previous post, but i agree. its not just the pose but the uncanny similarity in overall composition (e.g., the way her coat blows in the wind) which looks like an homage. its like when someone draws an overhead view of someone walking up to a motorcycle and if you know the reference, you know it's an homage (or parody) to Akira.

Oh man, such a good scene. I mean, Akira was a great movie, incredible manga, and just so so good.

That is so weird - I cannot upvote any other comments except niantre's top-level one. Instead it goes to a separate page that just says "Error". Even for niantre's reply to beithioch. I can un-upvote and re-upvote the top-level comment, just not anything at all below that. Must be another glitch in the ~~~Matrix~~~ Fediverse:-P.

well that's weird. guess there are some bugs to be ironed out.

at least you can still comment!

[–] OpenStars@kbin.social 1 points 2 years ago

And...now I can upvote as well! Yup, just a temporary thing. These things apparently still need to be ironed out.:-)
