I've been to the pilgrimage sites from Makoto Shinkai's works, and seeing those scenes with my own eyes was truly moving. The boundary between anime and reality became blurred.
Every time I watch the garden in the rain in <i>The Garden of Words</i>, I sigh. Makoto Shinkai's depiction of rain is one of a kind in the industry.
Beautiful scenery combined with a perfect soundtrack = a cleansing of the soul. The forest scenes in <i>Mushishi</i> paired with Toshio Masuda's score provide exactly this experience.
From the perspective of anime pilgrimage: many anime landscapes are drawn based on real-life locations. The feeling of being there in person is even more profound.
Makoto Shinkai, Kyoto Animation, and P.A. Works—these three names represent the three pinnacles of background art in Japanese animation.
I've been using the sunrise over Mt. Fuji from <i>Laid-Back Camp</i> as my wallpaper for two years now. Every time I unlock my phone, I feel a sense of peace.
The backgrounds of 4-koma anime are usually quite simplified, but <i>Laid-Back Camp</i> proves that slice-of-life shows can also have stunning background art.
Adding one more: the close-up shots of transparent raindrops in <i>Weathering with You</i>. Makoto Shinkai's obsession with water has reached a paranoid level.
The background art in animation is one of the most underrated art forms. I hope more people will pay attention to the contributions of background artists.
The lake scene in <i>Violet Evergarden</i>... the lighting and shadow work is simply superhuman. Kyoto Animation's art team is just incredible.
