#im fighting the part of me telling me to just rewatch my comfort eps (asias and labyrinth runners. also ftf a lil bit) bc WE JUST DID THAT

I get the impression that money was a bit tight on clouds on the horizon in general, what with the uneven time put into the lumity kiss vs the hexsquads fight outside blight manner w/ the infamous cha cha slide, plus background details going wonky (like baloony hunter), but my favourite semi-wonky frames are the closeups on Hunters face when he's talking with Luz about him being a grimwalker.

bc the proportions are just. So funny to me. Why is his nose so long. Why are his eyes in the middle of his face. When did his forehead get so big. What's happening. Did I die. Is this purgatory. I unironically love this bc it reminds me that this show was made by people who were trying their best. And sometimes their best looks the Bunter Vs hexsquad fight in thanks to them and other times it looks like this

[ID: a screenshot of a close-up on Hunters face from clouds on the horizon. The placement and proportions of his face are slightly off. End ID]

(although in searching for this image I was informed that a different studio than normal animated clouds on the horizon. Which is probably at least part of the reason why there's so many bungled frames. Also probably why the cha cha slide got animated the way it did. God I love animation)

#ramblings of a lunatic #the owl house #toh #hunter toh #I'm sorry if this post seems mean i promise you I'm trying not to be this is unironically one of my favourite parts of rewatching this ep) #my thoughts on clouds on the horizon are that i like it's individual elements but it struggles to be more than the sum of its partd #*parts #mainly i think that everything is pretty strong minus. literally the ''main'' storyline of amity and her family #i think you need at least one extra scene to communicate to the audience that the relationship between al and odalia- #-is more abusive than we'd previously been led to believe. because as it stands it feels like too much of a leap between previous eps #but like. everything else about this episode is good and works #its that storyline that lets this ep down and makes it feel incongruous to me #i recognise that it's a result of the shortening and I'm not mad about it so i don't make a big stink about it #but its the reason i dont really care too much abt alador as a character. he's good when it lets me explore other characters feelings #(Darius Amity even Willow or Camilla etc) #but other than that he's just kinda there #anyway i think i mostly wanna get to the specials #im fighting the part of me telling me to just rewatch my comfort eps (asias and labyrinth runners. also ftf a lil bit) bc WE JUST DID THAT #IF I KEEP WATCHING THEM TOO MANY TIMES I'M GONNA GET SICK OF IT AND DIE #but like. i really wanna :( #being strong tho /j
