Bluring this background to give focus to the characters is a normal thing to do.

It's not "normal", but it it's certainly a good idea.

Because your audience is too retarded to focus on the first plane?

Sasuga GodAni.

it's just a show for little girls, nobody watching it is going to care

>>149857175
What a retarded thing to complain about. The backgrounds style looks in harmony with the rest of the elements on screen and the layout is good.

You're just jealous of KinoAni

>>149857175
So? It looks good.

I'm pretty sure KyoAni paints their backgrounds digitally using photo reference, they don't just filter that shit.

>>149858925
If you knew anything, you wouldn't write meaningless shit like someone who doesn't know anything but desperately wants to look like they do.

Cinematography must not be one of your strong suits.
Hell, I wouldn't consider it mine either but even I know that scene focus is a pretty important aspect

>>149859113
Good, keep going. This way you don't have to talk about the arguments in front of you.

>>149859228
Go back to your blog.

>>149859255
Sending the other to a blog, reddit or another board. A classic for those without arguments. Go on.

>>149858271
Not your audience, but their eyes. Seriously, having everything in the image be in focus is fucking retarded and looks like shit.
