Creation: Handmade, B2 pencil.

Time: ~40 minutes.

Commentary: I scanned it from my agenda, thereby I intentionally left the holes visible on the left side. I never make the drawing to look like the original, I always make a difference trying to have my style, and not emulate a greater artist than me, which would be pointless. I made her breasts bigger. :smile: Inspiration: this work was inspired by Kouta Hirano (平野耕太, Hirano Kōta)'s work Hellsing.

Creation: Handmade, B2 pencil.

Time: ~90 minutes.

Commentary: The left eye is over the hair on purpose. All the focus was on the blood coming out Alucard's mouth, and the sense of thickness, I tryed to play with the black being more than black.

Inspiration: this work was inspired by Kouta Hirano (平野耕太, Hirano Kōta)'s work Hellsing.

Animation [8] /10

The style and the realisation are audacious. Before this 1998 GONZO story there were very few studios who actually got into the 3D GCI at this level. They tried, at least I can give them that. Blue Submarine n.6 is what I call an experiment. In fact, many things inside it resemble what will be the GONZO masterpiece Last Exile, both the characters (especially the female one) and the animation. The 3D is not a good technical achievement, but surely is a good start. The CGI does not fuse homogeneously with the drawings, and the designer noticed it. But then the director said it was OK, as people would get used to it.

In fact, after a while you DO get used to it, if you are not too picky, but the very fact that there are only 6 OVA makes the attempt utterly futile, because the animation becomes familiar when the anime is about to finish...

I do have to thank them in any case, because it is thanks to this anime that we have been blessed with Last Exile.
