(comment) It feels like this is a truly precious item. There are still a few Douga of the same cut still in existence, even if they're just a few frames with some movement in between. The Douga paper is already becoming animation vintage. In this cut, Sheeta stumbles and falls while escaping from pirates in Slug Valley, and just when you think she's getting back on her feet, her disguise hat flies off, revealing Sheeta. It's a cute panicked Sheeta, but also a very dangerous situation. Every gesture and expression is adorable! To capture this action in a single shot, the filming method used was a technique called panning. This filming method, along with the Douga paper, is now disappearing. This is Douga, but the key animation was done by the renowned animator Yoshinori Kanada. In his later years, he seems to have worked in the game industry, but he was a famous animator who taught us the possibilities of free expression that animation offers through his many works.
