\"Hanoka\"<\/p>\n

I was just scrolling through Moon Phase’s list of autumn anime and I came across Hanoka<\/strong><\/a>. The official site doesn’t have much information, but a single line in the promo video on the homepage caught my attention:<\/p>\n

Translation:<\/p>\n

Japan’s First!!
\nTrue Flash<\/strong> TV Animation
\n“HANOKA”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

“Flash TV Animation”. I think the industry has just hit a new low. I can’t find more details anywhere on the site, but the animation in the promo video certainly looks like it was done in Flash. And it’s going to be aired on TV…<\/p>\n

Which begs the question: Why the hell would anyone want to make an anime using Flash!? Anime are all made digitally anyway and I don’t see how using Flash can help lower the production cost. Are the creators aimming for the “new radical idea” angle? Or are they high on crack?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
