Welcome to The Return (帰る日)
- Rhory's animated films and shows graphic blog. Here you will find gifs and edits made by me but also some reblogged creations from dear fellow tumblr users. To sort out my own graphics from others, please use the list of tags.

The current layout and theme is created by starious and customized by kaeruhi.

I do not appreciate nor consider it flattering to find fellow tumblr users that have copied this blog's header/colours, reposted rather than reblogged my graphics and blogs that have reposted edited versions of my gifs, especially in a black and white colour scheme.

DISCLAIMER: This blog is in no way affiliated with, for example, Studio Ghibli Inc or its franchise. The tumblr is fan run, for the fans. Most of the original text and graphics belong to me, but all pictures, videos, music, qoutes etc. are copyright to the people who produced and own the media. All the reblogs is not my business, contact the original source to complain.

Anonymous: studio-ghibli-animations just stole your latest Spirited Away gif and edited out the watermark so no one would know it's yours. You should report them, Tumblr will delete it ~_~

Ah, thank you so much for telling me. I just can’t understand why anyone would bother going through all the trouble editing the graphics in order to gain followers or whatever reason that blog has. Found both of my gifs, here, here and many of my older ones as well. I’ve never reported anyone though, so I don’t know how I’ll do that, but I’ll try to look it up. 

Therefore I have a favour to ask you my dear followers, do not reblog nor follow that person, who’s a plain lazy arsed thief and please let ‘Nova’ create his own graphic. Thank you kindly.

buri-buri: Wow, hello. Your blog is perfect. I can't see the rest of your description because my screen is too small but your theme is great :D

Good evening! Thank you so much for dropping by and leaving such a kind comment! Too sweet! Oh? You just confirmed one of my latest fears when it comes to this blog’s layout. I’m really sorry for the inconvenience! I’ll try to take a look at it and maybe move the information around a bit. (̿▀̿ ̿Ĺ̯̿̿▀̿ ̿)̄ 

bittersweetlove-ff: Hi! So I wanted to ask, how do you keep your gifs in such amazing quality? Mine go all blurry when I save them. |:

Hello! I have some golden rules when it comes to creating gifs:

  1. Try to gif moments from videos with the highest quality as possible. My own graphics comes from 720p/1080p HD blue-ray rips and they take up around 5-10 GB each but it’s totally worth it in the end!
  2. Always start with lowering your FPS (frames per second) when you’re opening a video. I use photoshop to do that and it works much better than manually delete the unnecessary frames by hand. Here’s one tutorial, and I really recommend using that technique. 
  3. Things that doesn’t move in the original video shouldn’t move in your gifs either! Try to freeze the parts of the screen that isn’t important or eye-catching, for example the background. There are tons of tutorials how to do this and here’s one of them. It’s much easier to do this with animated videos since everything is drawn or computer made so the creators try to save as much time as possible by freezing parts of the animation almost in every scene. That way they don’t have to put so much effort into animating less important object and such right?

That’s about it but since you mentioned that your gifs go all blurry I suggest that you should also be looking at different sharpening options? There are a lot of different methods to use but what I do is that I open the raw cropped out scene in photoshop, resize, duplicate the animation layer, sharpen the source and put the copied layer to 34% Fill. By doing that you can still keep the sharpness of the video but it won’t look TOO sharp either. I’m not a fan of too sharp edges but that’s my personal option.

Ah, maybe I should just try to make my own tutorial… but there are so many gif tutorials on tumblr already (✧≖‿ゝ≖) Oh well, please ask if you want me to explain anything with more details! 

arcanesirens: everything on here is perfect perfect perfect <3

And you’re way too kind kind kind (ღˇ◡ˇ) Thank you!

teaus: ALL YOUR SPIRITED AWAY GIFS MAKE ME SO HAPPY.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH! I’ll try to create some more then! (「ఠωఠ)「❤

apinkdot: hi! I've been a fan of hayao miyazaki's movies for a long time now and I've watched every single one of them. c: I really love your blog. the pictures are so high quality and mesmerizing! thank you for creating such an amazing blog. :D please keep it up!

Hello! I’m really sorry for the late reply, it makes me look so ungrateful after receiving such a sweet comment! (っ◞‸◟c) Nevertheless, hearing that my blog makes even the most devoted fans happy is unimaginable and now I’m all giddy with joy. (๑´▿`๑)♫•*¨ Thank you so SO much! I’ll try my best to improve my graphic even more!

namidazora: Your Ponyo set is so lovely <3

Ah! Really? I’m glad! ❤ I worked so hard editing and bringing out the pretty colours but tumblr kept giving me the ‘Error uploading photo.’ sign, so I had to reduce the quality more than I wanted to in the end. (◞‸◟ㆀ) It’s annoying trying to please tumblr’s strange uploading rules.

realitystolemyunicorn: OMG i found the perfect blog!!!! omg it's beautiful! keep it up ° u °

P-perfect? Really? How flattering, thank you! I’ll try my best even if I’m really hard on myself and posts only 10% of what I create (✧≖‿ゝ≖)
