No.5：GOD EATER
出典 : Amazon.co.jp
GOD EATER, based on a game by Bandai Namco, aired from July 2015 to episode 9, and in March 2016, episodes 10 to 13 were broadcast as the Meteorite version.
The area of focus in this film is the overall expression of the work. Instead of the traditional “one color for skin, one color for shadows” color scheme, the animation incorporates the proof technology of live action films to express a world that is devastated yet beautiful.
The drawings are also characterized by a hand-painted, hand-drawn feel, and the keystone of the story, the “Divine Machine,” is all hand-drawn and conveys a sense of power.
No.4：Tales of Zestiria the X
Based on the game “Tales of Zestiria” by Namco Bandai, this is a completely new film based on the game and was created to celebrate the 20th anniversary of the “Tales of” series.
One of the points of the game is the magnificent landscape drawings that match the magnificent worldview. The grandness of the worldview of the Tales of series draws you in, but in this game, the worldview is even more powerful.
The battle scenes are also important. The beauty of the scenes may vary depending on the amount of detail, and the powerful battle scenes are a true work of art by ufotable.
No.3：The Garden of sinners
出典 : ⓒ奈須きのこ／講談社・アニプレックス・ノーツ・ufotable ⓒ奈須きのこ／星海社・アニプレックス・講談社・ノーツ・ufotable : 劇場版 空の境界
The popular novel by TYPE-MOON’s Nasu Kinoko, the original author of the novel, was made into an anime film with 7 chapters, which was then re-edited and broadcasted as a TV anime in 2013.
The great thing about this work is that it faithfully reproduces the difficult and beautiful world of the original work, not to mention its visual beauty. There are some grotesque scenes in the work, but ufotable has done a great job of reproducing them beautifully.
This is a work that combines the beauty of ufotable’s drawings with the brilliance of TYPE-MOON’s story at the same time.
No.2：Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba
出典 : Amazon.co.jp
The anime aired in 2019 and became one of ufotable’s most popular works, along with the Garden of sinners and the Fate series.
The original work is a biographical romance drawn by Yohseharu Agoge in Weekly Shonen Jump, and was a hit with a total of 2.5 million copies sold worldwide before the anime adaptation, but as of October 2019 it has sold over 12 million copies due to the influence of the anime adaptation, and its momentum shows no signs of waning.
The highlight of this work is still the battle scenes.
It’s not just about “the amazing drawings”, “the slippery movements” and “the flashy effects are fascinating”, but the camera work, which makes full use of zooms and slows to create intonation and composition, is a masterpiece.
In the 19th episode “Hinokami”, which was particularly well-received as a divine episode, the drastic staging of the scene in which the awakened Sumijiro unleashes the Hinokami Kagura (Shinto music and dance) in one of the most passionate scenes in the series, with the gentle ballad “Hear Hear Heard Sumijiro’s Song” deliberately played, has won tremendous support from anime fans.
No.1：Fate series
出典：fate-zero.jp
The popular “Fate” series is being produced by ufotable with “Fate/Zero” and “Fate/stay night [Unlimited Blade Works]”. ufotable is the name of the “Fate” series, and many people may think of the “Fate” series.
Fate/Zero is a spin-off that takes place ten years before the main series, and Fate/stay night [Unlimited Blade Works] is a newly reworked version of the one created by Studio Dean.
It has already been said many times, but the artwork is still stunning, and despite being a TV anime, the quality of the work looks like it could have been done in a theatre.
Although the Fate series has many battle scenes, the action and gimmickry of the series is powerful and enjoyable.
Also, original scenes were added with the audience in mind, and both the visuals and the storyline are representative of what ufotable is all about.
Summary
What did you think?
After all, the beauty of the images and drawings can be said to be the same in all the works. All the works are highly rated and you can feel the attention to detail of ufoteble.
Both Fate and Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba are series that will continue to develop in the future, so we can’t take our eyes off of them yet!
