   @lain God I had to double check that that was an accurate version of the re-animated intro because I forgot how awful it looks. Marge's dead face and lack of expression, the detail-less background, the stiff animation, slicing the scene in half to include a side-character that barely shows up, all signs of America's greatest cultural export going down the tubes

     @0orpheus especially the expressionless marge is just strange to watch. like she isn't even there.

     @0orpheus The sound of the Gion Shōja bells echoes the impermanence of all things; the color of the sāla flowers reveals the truth that the prosperous must decline. The proud do not endure, they are like a dream on a spring night; the mighty fall at last, they are as dust before the wind.

     @lain Because she's essentially not, she's a background detail. She has the same level of animation detail as the bag they put Maggie in: just look at how her neck swivel goes from a whole body motion showing concern for her baby to a single neck rotation. It's lower quality than an animated GIF from 2003.

     The whole intro is basically just an excuse to go "hey remember this character?" or "hah callback to something 20 years ago" and everything is cut down to make room for all the references
