Creative Closing Credits: Difference between revisions

Line 16:

* ''[[Neon Genesis Evangelion|End of Evangelion]]'' has the ending credits in the ''middle'', between the two "episodes" that make up the movie. This was done so the ending could cut to black. The credits also spiral up the screen while spinning.

* The final episode of the OVA series ''[[El-Hazard: The Magnificent World]]'' ends with a series of pastel drawings under the credits, which show selected bits of "what happens after".

* Almost every [[Studio Ghibli]] film.

** In ''[[Spirited Away]]'', ''[[The Wind Rises]]'', ''[[When Marnie Was There]]'', and ''[[The Cat Returns]]'', the ending credits are layered onto still images from the backgrounds of the film. On its own, this is nothing special, but these backgrounds often have more detail than entire paintings, showing how the studio really went the extra mile.

** In ''[[Porco Rosso]]'', and ''[[My Neighbor Totoro]]'', original images are created for the ending credits. The former has a series of sepia drawings regarding the topic of aviation. The latter has drawings of the protagonists, Mei and Satsuki, playing with them and other children, as well as the titular Totoro.

** [[Exaggerated]] in ''[[Kiki's Delivery Service]]'' and ''[[The Borrower Arrietty]]'', where the studio didn't just make the credits creative. They made the credits ''fully animated'', showing epilogues of the characters after the main story is completed. The animation in these sequences absolutely holds up to Ghibli's [[Scenery Porn|rigiorous]] [[Awesome Art (Sugar Wiki)|animation]] standards.

** However, this is averted in some productions like ''[[Princess Mononoke]]'' and ''[[Howl's Moving Castle]]'', which opt for a standard white names on black background approach.
