I am not the world’s biggest Anime fan.
But I’m not going to sit here and tell you that the art form is devoid of good things. I just don’t like all the squeaky voices and crying girls. The many, many, many crying girls.
But before I turn this into a “WTF, Japan?” rant, allow me to share a very short “Anime” animation that I have just mashed together on the website Go!Animate. All this was done entirely for free, and I made the story up as I went along. I used only a small fraction of the functionality available for making animations too, so if I had wanted to spend more than a couple of hours learning and making these animations, they would have turned out a lot more polished.
There are more characters and sets available for free and way more options available if you pay. I’m really intrigued by the possibilities of this right now, and I can’t say enough good things about the website’s interface. It’s extremely well-designed and easy to learn and use. And of course, I’m digging the female robot voices.
UPDATE (October 27, 2019)
GoAnimate got bought by some other company or something, and they took all their old hosted content down. Well, I have my stuff saved, so here is “Natsumi and Aimi: Cyberfem Agents” in all its clunky, goofy glory!
