Off-Model: Difference between revisions

* Like most [[Toei Animation]] long-running series, ''[[Digimon]]'' has a bit of a problem with this trope. The extent varies drastically depending on the series in question; ''[[Digimon Savers]]'' is the most notorious for it, with wildly different art styles, the Digimon regularly but not consistently depicted with thicker outlines, and with the girls literally spontaneously [[Gag Boobs|going up a few cup sizes]] in some of the worst-animated episodes. Also, ''[[Digimon Tamers]]'' has the misfortune of having been whacked with the Off-Model hammer for its final episode, resulting in Dukemon in particular having some pretty ridiculous proportions at times in what otherwise is a fantastic climax.

** And in ''[[Digimon Xros Wars]]'', by the time of the Death Generals arc, they start combining this with [[Art Shift]]. It's so bad it hurts to watch.

* ''[[Persona 4]]: The Animation'' is of generally good quality, except where background characters not meant to be viewed closely are concerned. In one case, Yosuke's entire face is drawn very badly; in another Chie is in the background making a face that looks to be taken directly from Hiimdaisy's famous parody comic.

** Near the end of episode 13 during the summer vacation watermelon eating scene, look at Chie. She's sitting outside on the deck with Nanako and the Protagonist... [http://29.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lxcjyaNvrz1qlo9bgo1_500.png and she's sitting inside next to Rise.]

** Also, the show itself switched to Flash, leading to a large-scale shift in animation.

* A frequent problem with shows produced by [[Filmation]] in the 1970s. A specific example: many of the musical scenes from ''[[The Brady Kids]]'', on account of the heavy use of [[wikipedia:Rotoscoping|rotoscoping]] to save time and money on animation. Note especially the clip to "I Believe in You," where close-ups of Jan's face make it appear as though [[Nightmare Fuel|her right eye has caved in!]] Their microscopic budgets should have come as a warning.

** It even happened in their later works, as several of them were sent to many different studios (Tom and Jerry Kids, for example, was farmed to [[Wang Film Productions]], Fil-Cartoons, and Mr. Big Cartoons).

* The short-lived ''[[Gravedale High]]'' sometimes looked this way. In "Frankenjockey", Hoover, the horse that escaped in the episode, switches between white (his actual color) and brown. In "Fear of Flying", Max Schneider is wearing a lab coat, but in the first act, the animation switches between the lab coat and his usual beige jacket.
