Animation seems like the most depressing creative industry there is. From all the behind the scenes talk I've heard, japanese industry is almost always exploitive or people are working on something they don't care for at all.― Robert Adam Gilmour

i was just watching some videos about minky momo, there are people who say that the episode where she becomes an animator is the bleakest episode in the series, which is impressive given that there's an earlier episode where she gets HIT BY A TRUCK AND KILLED.
i'm increasingly into mirai mizue. "dreamland" is the closest representation i've seen to what the world looks like to me as an autistic/adhd person.

This survivor's reign series is frustratingly both cheap and expensive-looking; really great and uncanny visuals sabotaged by spoken dialogue that conjures voice actors cycling through multiple takes emoting in a booth (though to be fair that's true of most "adult" animation):

Pinchliffe Grand Prix apparently still holds the record for highest box office of all time in Norway; it is shown every Christmas Day. Available via Apple in the UK. All I can say is: Wes Anderson could never.

insisting that yorkshire television made the only good TV ever would be a solid and possibly a sustainable bit (bit tougher with kids TV maybe)

Nice video about Christiane Cegavske (Blood Tea & Red String, Seed In The Sand) and Robert Morgan (Stopmotion) and superhuman patience. It does seem like the only animation I'm interested in now looks like it taken at least 4 years and 2 nervous breakdownshttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JKV3kH6YmLg
