SPECIAL BONUS: Pokémon Sun & Moon Anime Production Settei Art!

[DynamicFusion]

I found some great Sun & Moon Anime Production Settei Art so I thought I would share it here. The Dates on the Production Art (bottom right) for the Sun & Moon Anime give a good reflection on when Production for the Anime began.

While I wasn't the biggest fan of Ash's SM design, I think he looks really nice here! This seems to be a nice mix between XY and final SM design: his face zags aren't as prominent while the lines and features are sharp like in XY, but he still retains a ton of expressiveness that's characteristic of SM while not being over the top.

It's a shame that they settled on an even rounder design when SM first aired. It kind of turned me off at first, but at least by the end of SM, it seems that Ash's design is more close to the initial design in these settei art.

Yeah the Zs on his cheeks are much more smaller here too.

If we assume the above quoted height to be also true in SM, we can deduce that Musashi and Kojiro are 176cm (between 5'9" and 5'10"). I guess their vertebra are shrinking with age now, since they 6ft (or thereabouts) back in Kanto...

So Ash isn't the only one shrinking. LOL.
