Art Shift: Difference between revisions

* This happens many times in ''[[Excel Saga (anime)|Excel Saga]]'', most notably in episode 17, where there are so many rapid-fire shifts (from [[Looney Tunes]] to [[Walt Disney|Disney]] to [[The DCU|DC Comics]] to ''[[The Simpsons]]'' and beyond) that it's impossible to keep track of them all.

** And then there are the Puchuus, who suddenly change from [[Ridiculously Cute Critter]] to something ''[[Golgo 13]]''-esque when you kill them. The also utter something mean-spirited/action-movie-ish when it happens (reflecting their true, evil nature). Sometimes it happens without them being killed, if the gag demands the nasty phrase (e.g. in a scene parodying the survival action-movie fad from [[The Nineties]], {{spoiler|a Puchuu cuts Excel's rope and spits out, "Burn in hell."}}).

* Done in episode 5 of ''[[FLCL]]''. When it flashes back to Amarao asking for a "manly" haircut in a hair salon, it's done in the same animation style as ''[[South Park]]''. There's also "manga sequences" in episodes 1 and 6, during which the standard animation style is replaced by pans across (semi-animated, with voice-overs for the dialogue) manga pages. This was incredibly hard to animate, and the second one is brought to an abrupt end by Kamon, who [[No Fourth Wall|breaks the fourth wall]] to point out "Why can't we be a normal anime!? The animators asked us not to do another manga scene."

** There's also the grayscale style used for collisions, which comes up a few times.
