why is religious Christmas imagery all so joyful and pleasant? where is the inherent horror of the birth of Christ? A mother is handed her newborn child, wailing and innocent. Her hands come away sticky. Red. Simply by giving her son life she has already killed him. He is doomed from the beginning. Her love will not save him from suffering. Because the thing cradled in her arms is not a baby, it is a sacrifice: born amongst the other bleating animals whose blood will one day be spilled in the name of what demands it. the night is silent with anticipation. Mary, did you know? That your womb was also a grave?

Oh this is cool. Many of the backgrounds in Sonny Boy were painted by hand. Very unusual for an anime from 2021. The director (Shingo Natsume) said he wanted a certain nuance in the colors you don't get digitally.

The color choices themselves are also really interesting. The art director (Mari Fujino) said she deliberately chose inverse colors to create a sense of anxiety. Check out the tension between the floor and the chalkboard here:

There's a lot of interesting qualities to the art direction (and general direction) of Sonny Boy. It's been fun revisiting it and diving in to some behind the scenes stuff.
