1 Super Mario Odyssey

Super Mario Odyssey is a platform game. Players can control Mario to rescue from Bowser while crossing Mario through multiple worlds (called "kingdom") in the hat-shaped ship "Odyssey" Princess Pitch, who plans to forcibly marry her. The kingdom in the game returns to the exploration-based level design in Super Mario 64. It is completely different from the traditional ACT mode. What the player does is not to race against time, but to stroll in the small box court, step on the turtle, and dig out the little secret hidden in the horns, just like us in childhood. This work informs me of The transition between 2d and 3d graphics can make games or animations more interesting.

The book thoroughly explains the creation principles, production rules and performance techniques of Western classic animation represented by Disney.

3 Vinland Saga

Vinland Saga is a Japanese historical manga series written and drawn by manga author Makoto Yukimura. An anime television series adaptation by Wit Studio aired from July to December 2019. This is a story about love and redemption in the context of war killings. The author shows the cruelty of war without reservation, because of this, this work has a more realistic and historical weight. This work informs me story characters cannot be simply measured by good or bad. Each character should have its characteristics so that the audience can have a strong sense of substitution.
