MANGA — ANIME — SPEED LINES

VISUAL STYLE: Manga panel composition translated into animation. High-contrast black and white inking with flat colour fills. Speed lines, impact frames, emotion icons. The visual vocabulary that communicates kinetic energy, emotional intensity, and physical force.

COLOUR PALETTE: Black (#000000) and white (#FFFFFF) as the primary system — strong ink work in the manga tradition. Flat spot colour for key elements: vivid blue (#0044CC) for technology and calm, vivid orange (#FF6600) for energy and determination, deep red (#CC0000) for intensity and danger. Screen tone grey (#AAAAAA) in dot or line patterns for mid-tone areas.

SPEED LINES: Radial lines emanating from an impact point. Horizontal lines behind a moving figure. The lines are the motion — they make still panels feel kinetic.

IMPACT FRAMES: At moments of peak action, the panel fills with a starburst of converging lines, a shatter pattern, or a full bleed colour — the visual representation of impact that cannot be shown as continuous motion.

PANEL STRUCTURE: Panels that break their own borders at moments of peak intensity. Close-up eyes showing determination or shock. Wide panels for establishing scale — a figure small against a vast opponent or environment.

EMOTION ICONS: Visual shorthand for interior states — sweat drops, vein marks, sparkle eyes. The language of internal experience expressed as external graphic symbols.

No photographs. No photorealism. Only ink line, flat colour, and the kinetic grammar of the form throughout.
