BLAQUE LINE Series Ident: A Katana Cut Drawn in Code

A series needs a sting that tells you what show you're watching before the first car moves. This is the one for BLAQUE LINE.

I drew three concepts as style frames before animating anything. A is a katana cut, B is a tail-light trail on a night road, C is a stamped iron plate with sparks and torn paper. A won because it says samurai and speed in one stroke.

Draft A, animated. 4.75 seconds at 24 fps, 114 frames, delivered vertical for Reels, Shorts and TikTok.

0 to 0.5 s. Black and smoke, a red glint creeps along the blade path. 0.5 s. The slash lands, the black splits along the cut and the wordmark bleeds out in ink with splatter. 1.0 to 1.5 s. The red mark paints in behind BLAQUE. 1.4 to 1.9 s. The credit wipes in and the 黒線 seal stamps down. 1.9 s to the end. Hold on the logo with a slow push in.

Every frame is drawn in Python with NumPy and Pillow. No stock, no image model. The BLAQUE LINE wordmark is an original blade-cut alphabet drawn as polygons, no font. The credit type is Barlow Condensed and Oswald, and the seal is Noto Sans JP, all under the SIL Open Font License. The sound tag is being rebuilt from fully synthesized layers, so the version here is silent.
