Miyazaki’s visual storytelling thrives on a sense of flatness that doesn’t diminish but rather enriches his worlds. By compressing the layers of his compositions—merging the foreground’s details, middle ground’s action, and background’s context—he crafts images that feel like living illustrations. Take the Warawara swarming with dishes in "The Boy and the Heron" or the jubilant feast scene in "Spirited Away" : both are packed with vibrant details, yet the visual plane feels collapsed, like a tableau unfolding all at once. This "flatness" isn't a flaw but a deliberate technique, pulling us into the frame as if we’re unrolling a scroll of visual wonder. It’s not depth that Miyazaki aims for—it’s a sheer density of storytelling in every frame, a reminder that 2D animation’s strength lies in its ability to immerse without imitating.
Here’s a look at what we could possibly achieve if we shoot beyond our current goal! If you want to help us reach these stretch goals, support our Kickstarter and help spread the word!! Let’s get this show on the road!!
Don't take this too seriously lol

Witch’s Castle - Forest Park, Portland, Oregon. This structure is rumored to be haunted by original Oregon settlers.
You all thought my best oc was Melony or Dardanne ??? WRONG !!! IT'S POLITOED !!!
Politoed (yes, the politoed is named Politoed) is basically Dardanne's dad
Politoed was originally Dardanne's father's ace pokémon.
When Dardanne ran away from home as a teenager and was enrolled in Plasma, Politoed followed him to make sure he was safe and to keep an eye on him. Dardanne became his trainer because Politoed refused to leave him alone.
Dardanne is later selected to accompany N on his journey throught out Unova to gather the badges and defy the league. Dardanne keeps old Politoed out of his pokéball most of the day, following N's ideals fervently. Politoed might look chill and laid-back, but his tongue is sharp and N is unfortunately the only one who can understand it.
Politoed is also very aware of what's going on in Team Plasma, having already quite a lot of prior experiences with abusive trainers (Dardanne's father is an ex-gym leader for a reason after all). As Politoed is unable to drive Dardanne away from what is essentially a cult, he decides to stick by him and do his best to protect him whenever he can.
tl,dr : Politoed ditched his original trainer (Dardanne's dad) and decided Dardanne was his kid now
