Let's be honest the characters are very cliched, to the point that you sort of know everything they're going to say before it happens.

The main reason to watch Birdy is to actually watch Birdy and the fights.

It's pretty straightforward my man. There's the OVA series from the 90's and then there's Decode which is two cours split into season 1 and 2.

Most of the Birdy webm material you see comes from Decode but defo peep the OVAs if you're looking to get into birdy.

All characters are based on archetypes. It's the execution that matters. I haven't seen a show that's done a friendship theme as well as Birdy has. The relationship between her and Tsutomu was a a rare platonic friendship between a male and female MC and was one of the most meaningful relationships I've seen in any media.

Posting some pasta from another OST thread:

I have yet to hear anything that tops Yugo Kanno's soundtrack for Birdy The Mighty. The orchestral pieces are majestic, sweeping, and absolutely gripping. The rock/electronic pieces combine thrashing guitars with forceful drum 'n' bass beats to emphasize urgency. And finally, there are peaceful, poppy tracks which combine live instruments with electronica to create this warm, urban sound.

Yet another reason why Birdy was such an under-appreciated series.

SIDE Birdy is just fantastic. The piano opening, then the upbeat electronic and string sections kick in, then back to the piano and DAT SWEET SAX.

I don't have the best vocabulary when describing music, but it has this sense of heart-racing adventure, yet there's something familiar about it. You'd think the saxaphone would make it sound dated, but it doesn't. It just sounds so vibrant and exciting and it fits in perfectly. And it's just so idio syncratic with the show. I can't imagine Birdy jumping around Tokyo to any other piece of music, just like I can't imagine Superman without John Williams' signature theme.

SIDE Tsutomu is very heavy on the brass section, and when it almost sounds like it belongs in a 90's playstation RPG, but that makes perfect sense when you consider his role in the series. He's the young, naive protagonist about to embark on a grand adventure with his mysterious new friend. It's a little more understated than Birdy's theme, but that's appropriate too. Birdy is the flashy, bombastic one of the pair (with her more somber side as signified by the piano), but Tsutomu is the one being introduced to this grand universe.

Found DL links for Decode's OSt, but you have to download each song individually.

Only because he killed chances of those otaku fucks self inserting and denying them their Birdy waifu. The jap fans are the real problem. They're the ones who keep the studios from making good things. Otherwise we'd have had A third season of Birdy as well as following seasons of Moribito.

OVA is a whole different beast based on a completely different incarnation of the manga with the only similarities being the first two villains and how Birdy/Tsutomu get stuck with each other.

It's not just the finale but rather the animators were given a lot of freedom to draw as they liked.

>Nakaya: Generally speaking, I think it's neccessary to have unity on a 30 minute film. However, it was terrific to watch Part B. It made me re-think my stance a bit, like “if it’s interesting, maybe anything goes”.... but that’s just me. What do you think, as the character designer?
>Ryochimo: Of course, I understood that this might cause some controversy. But once you actually step foot on the production floor, you come to realize how important it is for the animators to be motivated. I wanted the audience to be able to feel the animators' energy. Naturally, all kinds of people watches the show, so I’m fully aware that the extent to which that gets through to the viewers will depend largely on their own standards.
>>
>>138988410
>>138988539
And some thoughts about the animation from the director himself.
http://www.pelleas.net/forum/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=711

>As I work with young animators such as Ryochimo, I feel that we reaffirmed the underlying power held by animation. For people like Ryochimo, (Shingo) Yamashita, and others, --whom they call themselves as Web generation, but I see them as Dojinshi generation who became professional through amateur works-- I thought I should let them work freely as possible without forcing one method. Then, I brought in veteran animators like (Norio) Matsumoto and (Takahiro) Kishida, whom I completely trust. I wanted young animators to absorb something from them by watching their works. Furthermore, by giving that kind of enviroment, I thought it would be nice if audience could see creators' energy reflected on the film. That's why I tried the challenge.

Basically, the show's looks are a result of the animator freedom and not a lack of budget.
>>
>>138988539
>>138988626

Ok at least I understand their reasoning, it's just that, I don't know, I wanted it to look better or something.

It was too free for my tastes. I still liked the show though.
>>
>>138988909
It's not uncommon to see the works of the "web-generation" animators being criticised for being flashy without having some draftsmanship fundamentals, but generally these young animators bring a very cool style to the table. Anyway, the youngsters who worked on Birdy are experienced now and there's a whole new generation out there. The last show with a lot of loose animation from young web-gen animators were Yozakura Quartet and Yoru no Yatterman, but I don't think people find the animation there to be as controversial as Birdy's.
>>
>>138989131
Yozakura? I believe you mean Tsuki no Naku right? If that's so then yeah I believe that part.

>but I don't think people find the animation there to be as controversial as Birdy's.
Yeah I thought Yozakura's was fine in it's own way. It didn't look "too free".
>>
>>138989273
From Hoshi no Umi onwards. The director for the series was actually animation supervisor for Birdy, and Shingo Yamashita who did>>138977019 and >>138977220 was episode director. The main animators on Yozakura are a new generation of young animators with different influences, though they still exhibit the typical flashy animation styles associated with web-gen animators.

The earlier web-gen animators who worked on Birdy like Shingo Yamashita and Kenichi Kutsuna had the likes of Norio Matsumoto and Satoru Utsunomiya as inspiration and even as mentor for the the latter with Kutsuna under him.

Yeah after rechecking Hoshi you're right. I think it was obviously more prominent in Tsuki that's why I forgot to mention Hoshi.

Like I said, I understand how they wanted the action scenes to flow and by just looking at the framework and imagining it wholly, it looks great.

I actually can't comprehend how people see this as bad. I mean sure you can argue that its QUALITY but I honestly think the style at work here compliments this scene so well. Birdy fucking LOSES HER MIND, her whole world is falling apart. The grittiness and rawness of the animation really brings that home. This isn't supposed to be cool or sleek, its supposed to be heartbreaking. You can feel her emotions in the animation, and I think that's really novel way of animating. This scene is a masterpiece.

Before I give Birdy Decoded another try and watch season 2 I need to know.


Does she end up wanting the D of the guy she's inside of or does he at least in some way stop being such a beta and start kicking ass on his own?

Picture unrelated

>>139005371
They don't fall for each other. their relationship is entirely platonic. Tsutomu never fights anybody, but he becomes more assertive and stands up for Birdy/provides emotional support.
>>
>>139005371
>Does she end up wanting the D of the guy she's inside of

Nope. She develops more of a big sister kind of role with him I think.

>does he at least in some way stop being such a beta and start kicking ass on his own?

I wouldn't go so far as to say he kicks ass, but there are moments where he mans the fuck up.

Ahh, soo I was right in thinking it was deliberate.

Personally, as someone who is an amateur animator and draws frequently, I really appreciated the artistic liberties taken in Decode. I can see why people would be turned off by it, but I think it really adds a certain feel to the animation, it just looks nice aesthetically while adding actual emotion to fight scenes without any dialogue.

Protects all of her major organs while providing maximum mobility. My favorite part of her body armor, other than the main piece that resembles a leotard, is the choker/glove combo.
