(comment) Having seemingly fallen from the airship, I find myself in an unfamiliar room upon regaining consciousness... The soft pencil lines depict Theta's expression, and I am drawn to each and every one of those images. A small surprise, a languid confusion, and the languorous charm just after waking up. There are two pictures where she holds the Flying Stone in her chest: first, she wakes up and confirms that the pendant is there, then she gets out of bed and, while starting to walk anxiously, gently places her hand there. The way she naturally places her hand shows that the pendant is always the emotional anchor for Sheeta, naturally telling the character's story. This level of completion is already reached at the stage of the corrected rough sketches. Of course, at this size - after going through key animation, in-between animation, cels, and film - how are the subtle expressions of Sheeta that Hayao Miyazaki draws depicted? I checked by watching the footage. ...Honestly, I find myself groaning, pondering deeply... I can't help but feel that Sheeta's emotions at this moment are captured precisely in these corrected rough key animation drawings. This is animation key animation worthy of being called a masterpiece.
