Join Me in Hell: Electric Boogaloo
I got better screencaps of the relevant OVAs.
(I know OVA6 looks worse but it's not in dim car lighting so it's not so tinted yellow which is better for my purposes)
I also did what I said I'd do before and put everything in chronological order. There might be errors in this but I think it's roughly accurate.
Numbers for episodes, M for movies, O for OVAs, S for Specials. All the specials from 2 on were lumped together since they all seem to have the same color palette.
So a few more observations from this:
- "Green Suit Era" lasted way longer than I realized when you bunch them all together like this. Naka wore green exclusively until episode 515, which is probably why I see it as his main color. (Especially since I tend to focus on older stuff.)
- I think I do finally have an answer for why Ginzo's color palette feels like such a mess compared to other characters, and that it slams all over the place at random. "Grey/brown suit Era" is pretty consistent in the show, but it's broken up by the first Special being way different, and then the rest of the specials which are different from that, and the Magic Kaito 1412 being different from that. His colors change super suddenly.
- His hair gets lighter over time?? I think this is actually because I color-picked his hair at its lightest point, for the most part. The show got more contrasty with his hair over time to make it look more shiny, so his highlights got brighter if that makes any sense.
- It's still wild to me that it took until Nakamori's most recent episode for them to settle on his Movie color palette, I'll still never get over that.
