Hi there! My name is PolyRedProductions or just PolyRed for short, if you don't know who I am, I'm an animator, artist, and sound designer. I have my fair share of being in animation collabs such as Sonic Shorts: Volume 1000, https://www.newgrounds.com/portal/view/935913

and the Pickle Collab: https://www.newgrounds.com/portal/view/941048

So now I want to do mine own as well!

SO WHAT ARE WE REANIMATING AGAIN?

I'm planning to host a reanimation of the opening to Kare Kano: His and Her Circumstances! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-Hym2-PDJ9A

The purpose of this collab is to warm myself up to host a bigger reanimated collab. There is 17 parts each with part 12 and 17 being the most complex in terms of animation, but some might ask...

WHAT THE HELL IS KARE KANO ANYWAY?

Kare Kano is a shojo romcom anime based on the manga with the same name and was produced by Gainax (and J.C Staff) and was directed by Hideaki Anno (yes THAT Hideaki Anno) before "leaving the project" It ran for 26 episodes before ending abruptly. You can watch the series in its English dub here: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLrrh84y760v9bv-2r2DBiH39oxlKq0OoD So now that information is out of the way, let's talk about...

GUIDELINES AND HOW TO APPLY:

You may use any animation software you please but NO AI! If you're caught using AI, you WILL lose your part, so just don't do it. It's okay if you're a beginner animator/artist or expert one, just make sure to put effort in to your scene. It's okay to add some of your own flair to your scene but try to resemble it from the original.

PROJECT REQUIREMENTS:

Stage Size: 1440x1080

FPS: 12 frames per second OR HIGHER

File Format: MP4 and MOV

HOW TO APPLY:

You can PM here on Newgrounds with links to your work/portfolio and I will answer in 3 days, If you're accepted, I will send you a link to the discord server we will be working on.

Another way to apply is to PM me from my username on discord "polyredstuff" From there, you can show your examples. P.S. You will have to provide your Newgrounds username so I can invite you once the collab is finished.

HOW TO SUBMIT YOUR SCENE:

After you're done with your scene, send it with a google drive link (or any other service) to the #finished submissions channel in the discord.

Finished scene file name example:

Newgrounds name_scene

RESOURCES

There's a google drive folder containing all of the parts and a sheet documenting of the progress, this will be in the discord once you join. And one last thing...

WILL THIS COLLAB ON YOUTUBE AS WELL?

Short answer: Nah. I feel like for short collabs like this, I think it would make sense to just post this here on Newgrounds.

And remember...

DEADLINE IS JUNE 23 2025

I will be posting the collab on Newgrounds the day after. After all that I've said, have fun signing up!
