@Kardamom That one is almost atypically calm in its pacing.
The eye design has been traced back to Disney, of all places (specifically, Carl Barks). Osamu Tezuka, the undisputed Father of Manga, was a big fan of the work of Disney’s animators, and borrowed some stylistic elements for use in his own work. Everything (art-wise, anyway) since has been more or less derived from his stuff. That said, The Lion King was a complete ripoff of Tezuka’s Kimba The White Lion.
@ragingloli Well, if we’re going to bring anime into the mix, I raise you Muon, Madobe Nite, for its more frenetic pace and a tendency to generally sound more dramatic.
@podwarp I suspect that it has at least a little to do with keeping the wandering part of my attention distracted. For that, “too much” is better.
