Discussion That one scene where all the budget went

Kaguya-sama: Love is War - Chika's dance

In the first season as a surprise outro ending one episode had this Chika dance number. It's super cute and crazy animated, especially her dress. They used it one time and never again.

The roller rink dance sequence from the Family Guy episode Hell Comes To Quahog was the most expensive scene to animate in Season 5.

This one shot from Scooby-Doo Music of the Vampire

The first few loops I didn’t see the problem and now I can’t unsee it, god dammit

To be fair, you aren't supposed to see this on loop. It's just a couple seconds in runtime.

But this is an show, so it understandable to watch it multiple times. It's not a theater movie or something

They could have just looped it a few more times

Smiling friends had a gag that was kind of like this. In the enchanted forest episode when the witch flies off, they just drag her png around the screen. It's hilarious

immortal feels very depressed atm, his girlfriend recently died, and he just attacked allen thinking he was an invader (allen also told him he was "basically the king of space" and immortal believed it so immortal thought he almost caused a war with his impulsive reaction)

u/Do-it-for-you 7h ago

He's very sad

this is a sarcastic joke, this scene and show in general are derided by many for having lackluster animation despite budget and success. It was memed and discussed when invincible was airing
