Before starting the animation, I want to finalise the character and the be familiar with the 1960's-1970's style. I looked at different anime opening theme song and see what is the common features the characters had at that days.
I would say a lot of the early animation really aimed for kids and very children friendly. Along with the music, the animation shows a lot of similarities with old disney cartoons and there were no doubt that the old Japanese anime adopted a lot from them. I think the first part of my animation is going to be very similar on the styles and content but less cheerful element and more dark than the old Japanese anime because it is going to be a serious topic so I hope to show it through the introduction.
After observation, the anime girl at that time did not have huge eyes like now and do not stress the sexuality of females. The body shape is very normal and usually the characters are slim and healthy looking. Although many of them wear short skirt, there are no sign of being a kind of fans services and I interpret that as cute rather than erotic.The use of colour is very bold and always have red, blue and yellow. I would like to use princess Knight's style more in the animation since it is mentioned in my essay and the style will be more engaging with the essay.
I also like to consider the background as a important part of my animation and more research need to be done on forest background.
