That ain’t how it works, chief.
It used to be called japanimation as a way to distinguish it from western animation, and it was eventually shortened to anime using the Japanese word for animation. Anime still means Japanese animation no matter how badly western matketing teams try to cling to it. Besides, anime doesn’t have a set “style”, and even if it did, this short looks like The Boondocks with higher contrast, because it was very clearly drawn by animators that only have experience with calarts.
the animation and cinematic teams carrying wow on their poor backs as always.
Shadow Hunters confirmed
I’m glad this explains the new look.

the 80’s style cartoon is what really makes this for me. well done.
Liked it, though a little disappointed that Alleria’s new armour was due to her just wanting a new look.
Blizzard,
You guys should seriously consider a TV (streaming?) series with this art form. It’s kind of a classic animation style, and its badass!
Thank you.
