8 anime · avg brightness 0.456 · bright opening

2007 is a landmark year for visual ambition. Gurren Lagann's spiral energy in warm oranges and hot magentas; Lucky Star's flat-lit pastel comedy; Clannad's tender autumn palette. The flat brightness arc of the year's aggregate reflects this diversity: there is no single tone, just the industry discovering that every register is available simultaneously.
