Finally someone made a video on this

I like your presentation abilities and appreciate the character chart especially. In mono dialoguing as I watched I felt that it was a lack of thematic feeling that was missed in this video. Thematic feeling, which is more importantly feeling but also the theme! The part about Canute was (ironically) very static, it didn't match breadth of how these characters were presented to us. So in terms of theme, when we finally get to the point of being introduced to the royalty, we as an audience were meant to feel that importance, be it with expectation or detractive assumption. When we meet Canute he is nothing like those of the world of Vinland Saga which turns out to be a contrast to Thorfinn but through Thors. Thors is introduced and presented as having attained a warrior's wisdom with a subtlety that always says more than he does; this video's perspective to connect that we as an audience only just start to share our reception of Thors with Thorfinn. What Thorfinn perceives of his father and why he gathers himself to this monomaniac form of self is only just ROUNDED to that he killed his father but why is it that we don't find the depth of Thors within his son? Noting about the likely audience is that as men, the feelings we're allowed to have are only few that being Happy Angry and rarely Upset (not sad). This isn't a talk about masculinity but a step in understanding HOW the audience begins to receive the content from this show. This is the exact same contrast with Canute, except while the show plays it out as a similar comparison to his father, the King, the Thors/Thorfinn contrast here is actually Canute/Canute. Canute wasn't just a child with a heavy impression, he already had a large part of understanding and the world. He's definitely more dynamic as you had on the chart, but farther apart to Thorfinn simply by experience. It's these exact measures of theme and feeling that make Vinland Saga so valuable to not just immerse in but sink into, like having a a literal presence within a simpler literature. One last note about Canute and his "transformation layer" (firstly I'd wager that most people felt the same way about his baby face stopping a drugged fighting maniac, as I did) is that even this layer of dynamic had smaller ripples within. Unlike Thorfinn, Canute was already experienced and could therefore interact with his knowledge after his character change. Similar again to the false King/Prince side story, the story uses this moment to represent the difference of not ability but character through a character... almost like a 4th wall break (mostly from how obnoxious this interaction is): Canute considers that his intended face and demeaner aren't of a build that the warrior would fight and so two personally contrasted demeaners met here. It's a small and short scene but it's the first display of Canute's intention that he later expands upon in that scene's dialogue. He's similar to characters like Kurapika imo. I think it's also valuable to consider that if this show did not start with and kill Thors, Askellad would not have been as appealing.

For the One Piece fans: Yutaka Nakamura has actually animated one scene in One Piece.

Ill tell you what. Ive never cried during American cartoons/ Anime. But Japanese Manga/Anime i cry quite often. Yes, Im a dude, but get really into the anime. Asain movies have caused more tear shedding than any American production. Japan/Korea/China really know how to make emotional movies as well as them being really good.

I watched the first few episodes as they were coming out, but i quit because of annoying ecchi and it is almost the only thing i remember about the show lol. Does is get good? Should i give it another chance?

There is literally no difference. Still looks terrible wtf

I was so mad when I saw Sukuna and Mahoraga fight. Well, now it makes sense why it turned out so bad...

great and interesting video. i know im like a year late to this video but isnt golden bat from 1967 the origin since being one of the first animated shows ever i think or just in that early era and still having at least one or two impact frames that follow a structure of what you defined as an impact frame more closely then he man. maybe it has more impact frames but i only saw some clips on youtube and already saw one or two so maybe worth checking out

i gotta thank you for repeating gil's enuma elish attack again after showing it once, man i love the sfx so much, i just genuinely listen to sfx every once in a while gaming cuz why not

There is absolutely no way you just said conditioning in a fight is a new concept here.. Sasuke vs Danzo, Luffy vs Katakuri.... basically any fight where one combatant has an abstract, hard to figure out ability. most of Hxh.... I see what you're saying though. It takes a very literal form here. great video btw.

I could be wrong, but I was always under the impression that Yoshinori Kanada was the inventor of the impact frame.

In my opinion, western animation is better because it has better writing. Sometimes when I watch anime I just can’t tell what’s going on till one of characters explains what’s going on through dialogue. Just my opinion. Also, western animation feels more like an actual television show or movie. It’s made more for you to watch it than walk off once it’s done like “wow what a great movie”. Eastern tries more to make you feel like your inside of the world in which your show takes place in by giving you observations on the surrounding environment trying to get you emotionally tied to it, almost like rewriting reality into a fictional world. Western animation is animation over art Eastern animation is art over animation In general, western animation has smoother animation but less appealing art while Japanese anime is usually the opposite. So yeah US animates while Japan tries to be visual appealing. Oh and the icing on the cake, western animation in general has much more fun characters that can vary from animal humanoids to actual animals or to funny looking people. Anime just usually stays with the human style only changing hair color and size lol. But yeah I also love eastern animation so much it has so much talent put into it. 🇺🇸🤝🇯🇵

No one cares about appreciation if people don't pay. Be honest, do you still buy blu ray? Would you stick to Crunchyroll if it suddenly became 200 % more expensive? Would you stop pirating because of this video? For 99 % the answer is no. So let us ditch the hypocrisy - all of us - and stop complaining about anime becoming worse or good anime having terrible working conditions.

bro this video is so insane

yo big dawg ..... you got my sub. this playlist was fun to listen and watch. Can't wait for you to do season 3 of fire force. keep up the good work

Basically western animation is basically much better in showing evil and ugliness of life

Shoulda put the crimson moon scene from fire force in here

I would guess people started doing impact frames sometime in the golden age, which was the 30's

Wolverine is more real then Jesus

WHAT ABOUT THE ZORO VS KING FIGHT 😭 (great video though)

Nice choice of typeface 😎

JJk s2 animation jus looks like ass🥲DRAGON BALL SUPER has MUCH BETTER fights with high frame rate

why not make a video on in depth game design on anime games, its rarely talked about just like impact frames. (ofcourse depends if you have the time and energy for it 🙏)

One of the greatest video productions ever made on the anime and animation/writing situation going on in the world at the moment. You are doing God's work. Thank you and you are doing great.

"how many references do you wanna include?" "yes"

Imagne all the mappa animators quit and make there own animation studio that would be fire ngl I mean a studio full of people who work for there passion free of the constraint of mappa.

Damn this video is so helpful thank you so much 👍💪

Epic video man I really appreciate the deep dive !

Bro, I regret missing this video. Thank you for your work in gathering so many sound clips to share. I think your video deserves more views. Thanks again for your video.

Its been debunked

its james baxter, of course its going to be amazing

Actually the very impact frames, while being pretty mediocore have their roots in western comics, like you know those old "POW" "SHAZAM!!!" things in dc comics. That would eventually find its way in like the old batman and robin shows then over time other people started doing it then it became ike really cool, so while those cant really be attributed for how cool they are today, those are the orgins.

Reminds me of the good old transformers

Pretty good video

ah yes the fabled particle speedrun glitch

Over a year and people on tiktok still won't stfu about impact frames.

I love how niche this is its so awesome

Actually it wasn't... czcams.com/video/vj8DzA9y8ls/video.htmlsi=vcQyapF23mK52Xhr

Ok

Finally got time to watch this and oh boy did you suffer for not including “season 1” in the title. I enjoyed listening to your takes and I can understand where you’re coming from especially with Canute, but I think the title killed a lot of the good discussion that this video could have had. Which is a bummer considering how reasonable and respectful your criticisms were.

One of the best animation breakdown videos I've ever seen. Incredible

The fact that only 30% was aired but it was STILL fucking GODLY

One pice have the best impact frames in the want arc

Violet Evergarden's first battle scene has much better sound effects than anything in here.

1:24 this is still funny. Its even funnier when you add the caption "But it just turned out terrifying"
