Main Name	technical aspects (t6151)
Family Tree	technical aspectsIt may sometimes be useful to know about technical aspects of a show, such as information about its broadcasting or censorship. Such information can be found here. · 3D CG closingThe closing sequence is 3D CG animated. · adapted into other mediaThis anime is a new original work, and it has been adapted into other media formats. In exceedingly rare instances, a specific episode of a new original work anime can also be adapted. · alternating animation styleThe animation style in this show may change between scenes, usually making the anime experimental in a way. This may be a form of artistic visualisation. · awardsno description set · based on real eventsContains content based on real-life events. Depending on the creators` wishes those events may have been altered. In the most substantial cases, expect many things to have been changed from the original events. · black and whiteSome or all of this anime is in black and white, typical of older anime made before ~1960. Some modern anime may intentionally shift to black and white for certain scenes or episodes as an artistic effect. · broadcast cropped to 4-3Although this anime was created in 16:9 (widescreen) aspect ratio, its Japanese TV broadcasts were all cropped to 4:3 (fullscreen). It was only made available in 16:9 upon its DVD/BD release. Note: This tag does NOT apply to series that had initial broadcasts in 4:3 and 16:9 broadcasts several weeks later, such as Clannad, Asu no Yoichi, K-On!, etc. For those, use "Delayed 16-9 broadcast". · bundled episodesBundled episodes are where an OVA or music video with multiple (otherwise unrelated) full-length episodes are consolidated into a single episode video track. Not to be confused with long episodes (a single episode that exceeds a standard 25-30 minute full-length segment) or multi-segment episodes (split into several short segments (parts), usually with separate titles and independent storylines). · cel-shaded animationCel shading (often misspelled as `cell shading`) or toon shading is a type of non-photorealistic rendering designed to make 3-D computer graphics appear to be flat. Cel-shading is often used to mimic the style of a comic book or cartoon. It is somewhat recent, appearing from around the beginning of the twenty-first century. The name comes from cels (short for celluloid), the clear sheets of acetate which are painted on for use in traditional 2D animation. · censored uncensored versionEven the DVD and Blu-ray releases do not let you see everything you were expecting to. That normally applies to fan service, but may also apply to gore and violence. A very common example is characters without nipples; in other cases, something such as steam or foam stays in the camera`s way. In some shows, the censorship in the disk releases is even stronger than in the TV version. This does not apply to censorship of what Japanese pornography laws still require to be censored. · CGIComputer-generated imagery (CGI) or computer animation is the art of creating moving images via the use of computers. Increasingly it is created by means of 3D computer graphics, though 2D computer graphics are still widely used for stylistic, low bandwidth, and faster real-time rendering needs. · chibi EDSome or all of the endings feature chibi versions of the characters. · claymationShort for clay animation. · commercialThis title is used to sell and/or promote a real-life product or service. Not to be confused with "product placement" or "subliminal advertising" — this features direct promotion for such element. Depending on the setting, some could even be considered as "animated infomercials". · crowdfundedThis anime was funded, at least partially, through a campaign on a crowdfunding website. · cutout animationCutout animation is a form of stop-motion animation using flat characters, props and backgrounds cut from materials such as paper, card, stiff fabric or even photographs. · delayed 16-9 broadcastThis anime was created with an aspect ratio of 16:9 (widescreen), but its initial Japanese TV broadcasts were cropped to 4:3 (fullscreen). At some point (usually 2-4 weeks) down the line, it was rebroadcast in 16:9. Note: This tag does NOT apply to series created in 16:9, but only broadcast in 4:3 and not made available in 16:9 until their DVD/BD release. For those, use "Broadcast cropped to 4-3". · detailed landscapesAn amazing view of nature, of artificially sculpted landscapes (i.e. gardens), or of a cityscape. · discontinuedThis anime plot was supposed to run on more episodes, but it was prematurely discontinued before reaching the end. Generally, we can only reasonably observe that a show is discontinued after the fact. As such, this tag should not be added to an anime until at least 5 years have ed since the anime airing has ended. · ED varietySeveral ED sequences in this anime have either a different song or different animation, maybe even to the point of having a unique ED for each episode. · experimental animationThis anime uses distinct, alternative animation — much unlike other contemporary anime — either throughout or in individual episodes/sequences. · fictional languageFictional languages are intended to be the languages of a fictional world and are often designed with the intent of giving more depth and an appearance of plausibility to the fictional worlds with which they are associated, and to have their characters communicate in a fashion which is both alien and dislocated. · first person viewThe events in this anime are shown from the perspective of one or several characters, as if you watch the scenes through their eyes. · flash animationMade in Adobe Flash (formerly known as Macromedia Flash), a software package for rich multimedia and Web animations and applications. Very popular on amateur fanproductions (like the ones found in places such as YouTube) · footage reuseFootage reuse is the employment of a sequence of frames many times, generally as a side effect of a constrained anime production budget. This can happen by using the same footage once at a time, but many times over the course of the show, or by directly looping it. Types of scenes that tend to get reused include transformations, attacks, and any kind of action that involves repeating the same movement. This tag does not apply if the footage changes significantly between iterations. · fulldome videoAn anime produced as fulldome video is primarily designed to be displayed on a fulldome projector, for example in a planetarium, as opposed to conventional rectangular screens. · half-length episodesHalf-length episodes are regular episodes that are somewhat shorter than the standard length. This includes episodes that are 11 to 20 minutes in length; shows with episodes up to and including 10 minutes are short episodes instead. · improvised dialogueno description set · live-action imageryThis anime incorporates still images and/or video footage of real-world objects and locations into the animation. · long episodesLong episodes are regular episodes that are much longer than the standard 25-30 minutes, usually 45-60 minutes. Not to be used if a show has occasional 45-60 minute specials. Also not to be confused with an OVA or music video with multiple (otherwise unrelated) full-length bundled episodes consolidated into a single episode video track. · merchandising showThe bane of the parent`s wallet; this show usually has only a single reason for existence; to the toy line it is based upon to the intended target audience. · multi-anime projectsMany anime are created as part of larger projects encoming many shows without direct relation to one another. Normally, there is a specific idea in mind: for example, the Young Animator Training Project aims to stimulate the on-the-job training of next-generation professionals of the anime industry, whereas the World Masterpiece Theatre aims to animate classical stories from all over the world. · multi-segment episodesMulti-segment episodes are split into several short segments (parts), usually with separate titles and independent storylines. Not to be confused with short episodes, which are regular episodes that are much shorter than the standard length (up to and including 10 minutes). Also not to be confused with an OVA or music video with multiple (otherwise unrelated) full-length bundled episodes consolidated into a single episode video track. · no dialogueThe anime either has no spoken dialogue or no dialogue at all. · off-model animationAnime shows tend to most often run on an already tight budget; some have even tighter ones. Thus, over the years it became a norm to invest more time and money into the first and last episode, leaving many episodes in the middle to stand severe budget restrictions. This sometimes results in episodes which particularly stand out due to the drop in artwork or animation quality; bar some basic framework, they often have little in common with the rest of the series. · OP varietySeveral OP sequences in this anime have either a different song or different animation, maybe even to the point of having a unique OP for each episode. · original in EnglishThe anime was originally released with an all or almost all English voice cast. · s that require pausings that require pausing are image or text s that interrupt regular animation and flash by so quickly that the viewer cannot recognize the image or read the text fast enough while playing at regular speed; they require pausing the video, or at least viewing it at a lower speed. Given the short screen time these s are given, they are usually not relevant to the plot. · photographic backgroundsReal-life backgrounds, with the possible addition of a few 2D elements are shown / used in the anime.
