Thoughts<\/b>: <\/span>Otherside Picnic <\/span><\/i>follows two young adult women, Sorawo and Toriko, as they explore the world of the Otherside \u2014 another dimension that manifests many of the creepypasta stories that crawl around the internet. Additionally, feelings start to develop between the two girls.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

An exploration of scary internet myths, exploration of a supernatural world, <\/span>and <\/span><\/i>a lesbian love story? I couldn\u2019t have jumped faster at the opportunity. Unfortunately, the anime<\/a> completely falters from all angles and simply did not do the original source material justice \u2014 a well-praised novel series<\/a>.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

From the very first episode, the anime pulled a weird trick where it would change to CGI when the two girls walked, but it would immedia<\/a>tely go back to 2D animation for closeups. CGI as a whole is a bit of a contentious topic in the anime community, but there are legitimate reasons for using it. It\u2019s used to animate things like monsters to specifically emphasize how non-human and different the monsters are from the rest. CGI is also used to animate complex scenes that contain panning shots of crowds, like the concert in <\/span>Given<\/span><\/i>. However, CGI has always had a purpose in storytelling, whether it is to make the monsters stand out or to blend in the heavy animation. In <\/span>Otherside Picnic<\/span><\/i>, the CGI only gets utilized for strolling, and it stands out in all the wrong ways.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
