Altair #19: More of Fondo than Cielo

[Previously: At least episode 18 was decently animated. Allow me to throw in this little extra, too, in honour of what could have been.]

Life kinda hit the rock bottom with this episode. I’m somewhat surprised that I didn’t have much of an issue with this episode before, during my first time watching it. I suppose watching to catch up to episode 22 (latest episode at the time) creates a kind of blind spot, compared to watching one episode at one time. Technically speaking, most of the key events and dialogues are present in this episode, including Mah-kun’s attack on the supply train and Chielo’s entrapment of the Imperial army (well, a couple of divisions) in a sea of fire. The episode even has a good set-up to the future predicament of Chielo with the pre-opening-credits scene of citizens from surrendered states, robbed of their food by the Imperial Army. coming to seek refuge at Chielo, the soon-to-be frontier of the Alliance’s stand against the Empire. In terms of the narrative and story-telling, the story line has a symmetrical structure, one that begins with the play introducing the concepts of Fondo and Cielo, stand-ins for damnation and salvation, and ends with the literal hellfire judgement bestowed upon the invaders. So far so good, right? 

I wish it were so. While there was little to complain about the content itself, the slipshod animation and lackadaisical figure drawings negated most that was good. The episode is rife with expressionless faces, misshaped or out-of-proportion figures and stilted movements that really make one ponder the meaning of animation. In the end, the production of this episode added nothing to, if not to say completely dulled out, the genius of Kotono-sensei. While there may exist excuses for storytelling mishaps and oversights in anime, there’s truly none for an anime that does not look pretty, pleasing to the eye or visually arresting.   

Here are some illustrations to prove my point: 

... No one looks like anyone here.

Why the looooong face? 

Shall we call him Giant hand Khalil now?

There’s nothing technically wrong with this shot, I think. But man, can they make a boring shot? It looks like some snapshot from an old game or something.

Yeah, this is how Mah-kun would look if I was to draw him. Not how I expect him to look in the anime. 

They just don’t get poor Pino/Pineau. Like he’s supposed to look stoic, grim and commanding but not too frightening. Instead, he just looks ridiculously stupid (like this shot) or plain right weird most of the time in the anime.

I mean I could go on but those are among the worst offenders. At this point, I am too drained and disappointed to try and find something redeeming in this episode to speak of. I’ll leave you with snapshots of the less painful moments in “The Cage of Paradise”. I’m not sure if this is the intention of those who made this episode but it f***ing felt like hell watching it.

The key definitely got lost somewhere in this episode for sure.

*sigh* You do look the part here, Director Carbajal but I’m really not sure how I feel about his voice actor. Like sometimes it was not bad, like with the play scene at the beginning  but then when he talked to Mah-kun and Erbach.... I’m not so sure. Anyway, I was not sold.

They do NOT look OLD at all. They look like 2 guys wearing Santa Claus’s beard, instead of seasoned military leaders.

Okay, Khalil was sweet and nice, like the way he’s supposed to be. 

Cassandra. Her role will be further expanded in the 23rd episode, which i’m both happy to see but as usual, also feel conflicted about. More on that later.

Frentzen! I love that Toshiyuki Toyonaga voices him! He makes Johan sound a bit like a less grumpier Irie Shoichi (Shou-chan), which is lovely.

The one shot where everyone looks decent.

Mmhmm... before the next episode happens. 

They could have made use of this monstery imagery for the Imperial army much earlier. 

Awkward drawing aside, the spikes of the gate does recall the monster trap that Carbajal talked of earlier.

Carbajal did sound a little regretful here - which is great. I like that Carbajal is not depicted as a saint.

I suppose Mah-kun was reminded of Phoinike. 

LOL. 

He almost looked disapproving, with the weird moustache shadow. 

Until the 20th episode then, minna-san!

10, 000 mil galones de hidrocarburos derramados en el río Loripongo amenazan con llegar al Lago Titicaca

Sergio Eber Carbajal Pérez, alcalde del distrito de Pichacani-Laraqueri, denuncia el derrame de más de 10,000 galones de hidrocarburos en el río Loripongo. El accidente ocurrió hace más de 9 días sin acciones efectivas de las autoridades competentes para contener la contaminación masiva.

El siniestro involucra a la empresa transportista MC Transportes S.R.L. tras la volcadura del camión cisterna de placas VOW-749/VEW-999. El accidente sucedió en el kilómetro 53 de la carretera Puno-Moquegua afectando inicialmente 92 metros cuadrados de suelo agrícola y pastizales naturales.

“La gravedad de esta contaminación es grande“, declaró Carbajal sobre el impacto ambiental. Los hidrocarburos afectan flora, fauna silvestre y animales domésticos que las familias crían a lo largo de la cuenca del río Loripongo que se encuentra totalmente contaminado.

La OEFA dictó medidas correctivas otorgando 15 días para la remediación ambiental. Sin embargo, “no se está trabajando a ese nivel de contaminación” que realmente está ocurriendo según el burgomaestre puneño preocupado por la magnitud del desastre ecológico.

La municipalidad distrital remitió informes de Defensa Civil y el área técnica municipal a OEFA y fiscalía. No obstante, “están tomando pasos muy lentos” sobre este hecho que requiere intervención inmediata para evitar mayor propagación de la contaminación fluvial.

Más de 40 familias resultan directamente afectadas por el derrame que se extiende aguas abajo del río Loripongo. Los hidrocarburos se están trasladando prácticamente hacia otros sectores incluyendo la cuenca del río Ilave según autoridades locales.

El derrame “podría convertirse en problemática regional” al amenazar con llegar al río Ilave y posteriormente al lago Titicaca. La contaminación se extiende sin barreras de control efectivas pese a las medidas dictadas por organismos ambientales competentes.

La empresa responsable implementa acciones bastante minúsculas de remediación según el alcalde. MC Transportes S.R.L. no adopta medidas oportunas para contener el derrame que afecta suelos a lo largo de toda la cuenca del río Loripongo.

Los hidrocarburos contaminan directamente el suelo y cuerpo de agua del río Loripongo extendiéndose sin control hacia otras zonas. El daño afecta prácticamente toda la cuenca requiriendo acciones de remediación efectivas a lo largo del sistema hídrico.

Las autoridades presentaron denuncias contra la transportista por no contener oportunamente el derrame de diésel. La policía investiga la negligencia de la empresa que debe asumir responsabilidad total por el desastre ambiental ocurrido en territorio puneño.

El tramo afectado incluye ríos Yaurajahui, Ilave y Loripongo con riesgo de extenderse hacia el lago Titicaca. La contaminación representa grave amenaza para el ecosistema. Carbajal confirma que “es grande el grado de contaminación” que podría ingresar al lago Titicaca si no se toman medidas drásticas. Las acciones de remediación resultan insuficientes para la magnitud del daño ambiental causado por la empresa transportista irresponsable.

Puno
