Ideon's art is really good, particularly art the character designer has done, but that detracts from the point of the thread. I'll throw in an Ideon pic though

These are from Anne of Green Gables.

Makes me sad when I watch modern stuff and the backgrounds are clearly photos with a filter slapped on.
Truly a lost art.

The vast majority of modern backgrounds are still hand-painted.
But enough about that, this is a retro anime board, not a website to vent your hatred for modern things.

Image Composite Editor does the stitching for you using AI, it saves you a lot of trouble, especially when there's weird things like different layers moving at different paces which makes manual stitching a nightmare.
