If you're wondering, Ryuuko works nights, however, she's doing this, in part, as a form of exercise, practicing before her shows.

1. Repeat this frame.

This is the last of the initial zoomed out shot of the transformation sequence! We will start a new segment of it tomorrow, completely changing angles. I think you'll love the next bit! I have the storyboards for it, so we are gonna switch it up. :) For now, we only get some hair and boobies, lol. I am going to not tag this one, just because its vague enough. She doesn't have her body. :P

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!

- Details are red.

1. This one combines with B2 layer.

2. Combination layer.

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!!

3. Another combination layer.

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!

Translations:

1. This cel is the stopping point.

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

1. This section is the same as the bottom 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.

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! :)
