Nah WTF.... This animation from a Chinese game looks straight out of a Ghibli film… the world, the colors, the atmosphere… it’s hard not to see the influence
@PPDPPL_art In early Japanese illustrations, Wukong's everyday attire is yellow, which is related to his Buddhist beliefs(P1\P2).
Two possible of red:
1. Graphic novelist 刘继卣 's illustration for "大闹天宫" in 1951 (P3).
2. A Japanese television drama produced in 1978(P4).
I hope this tweet can reach people in Japan and China so they can explain this to me. Seeing adaptations of Journey to the West ( 西游记 / 西遊記 ), it seems Monkey is shown in yellow in China, but red in Japan. Is that real, or am I mistaken?
