Abe's animations really are the stuff you imagine as a kid in your head, thinking it would be impossible to visualize... and yet this absolute magician brings these type of scenes to life. The compositing team is just goated as always and really brings it all to the next level.
You worded this perfectly
I'm telling you, yuichi terao went godlike in the infinity castle scene in Swordsmith village ep 1. It's insane.
It was beautiful.
And we'll see twitter shit on it cause its cgi hence not good
@Chapri_from _Chapra it's funny because the rumbling also cg yet don't people want to shit on that. 😂
Watched the whole Uppermoon meeting segment,it was fucking gorgeous.
That Akaza sequence at the starting was just 🥶(seriously wtf were those camera movements 💀)
Some parts weren't even manga so much stuff that's added in the first episode.
Yuichi Terao returned with some peak 🛐
And that Uppermoon 1's interaction with Akaza 😭 I was getting full Indian tv serial Vibes
Even though I have watched like half of the episodes I'm just excited to watch it tomorrow.
@@harman4321 bruh Imagine a whole seaon in infinity castle🥵🥵
Sometimes I just like imagining what other veteran animators' works would look like if they worked with Ufotable. Like what would Keiichiro Watanabe's cuts look like if the characters were actually synchronized with the background or what would Nakamura's crazy storyboards and background animation look like with Ufotable compositing. What that insane Norimitsu Suzuki sequence from MHA movie 3 would look like if Ufotable's compositing team got their hands on it.
thats just watanabe's style. the character not synchronising w the background causing the characters to look like theyre floating. but yutapon x ufo's compositing team would be sick.
Whenever I see Ufotable on title i click it faster than tengen 👍
The ink smears are indeed by Abe in episode 6, the Genga for the cut shows them.
Man the heavens feel movies just really were so jaw dropping in terms of animation
You are really good at explain things.Underated asf🙂
asf indeed, especially with the embedded video/concept art snippets. I can only imagine how long it took to find them and edit this. Big thank you from my side.
Great to finally have the long-awaited Nozomu Abe video! Looking forward to part 2.
I'm excited for the second part, you can finally have the Abe video off your "Vids to make list" 😂. Appreciate the reiteration of information at the beginning ( + a little extra), as it's always good to build an idea of the environment where this work is produced and certain factors specific to his projects.
As always, amazing vid 🤙
God, it's finally here.I can't tell how excited I am because I'm watching your videos from the time when you just posted your video about studio ufotable after episode 10 and I accidently discovered it and this without a doubt is one of the video I've been most excited about so THANK YOU and keep up the amazing work.
Dear god How my blood boils when twitter dumbs down Nozumo Abes gorgeous effects in s2 ep 10 to "Flashy lights" and "digital effects"
at the same time licking one piece and bleach boots for doing the same shit
Watch people are going to say Swordsmith village is too misty 😂
@@catlike9444 Can't wait to see Twitter mfs cry about Demon Slayer's god tier "Visuals" and "animation"
S3 episode 1 already slapping, they ain't ready for it.
@@catlike9444 demon slayer is carried by animation, devolved to demon slayer carried by flashy lights will now devolve to demon slayer is carried by smoke
@@chapri_from_chapra5443🥴😵
So trippy
Anyways where are you from(I mean which state?)
Subbed man, I'm really passionate about animation, Your analysis is a fantastic way for me to start diving into these concepts deeper, cant wait to watch more
been waiting for this one. excited!!!!
I can now die in peace. We won. We finally got the Nozomu abe animator spotlight
We finally won 😭
Part 2 coming "this year"
So let's wait for another year 💀
Amazing, each and every one sequence that you show was some of my favorite moments of the shows. And you are telling me that one person consistently produces such impactful moments? Crazy
In fairness, he probably has a team of people helping out, similar to how mangakas work. That's not to downplay Abe's incredible skill, of course
its an amazing day when Manko uploads! lets go baby
Nozomu Abe’s work is honestly made simple by Yuichi Terao. Terao is the biggest reason why everything looks like its sakuga
Hey! Love your content!
Your videos helps me constantly inspire me and helps me do animation!!!! ❤
Waiting Abe's animation spotlight part.2 more than actual Abe's animation in the following episodes
Issa good day when manko uploads
(this year) lmao.
But jokes aside. Great video as usual man. Your great explainations makes the topic very easier to understand than usual. Really thanks for the hard work. Keep it up❤️👍
That "Maximum Satisfaction for the viewers" part IS 💯% TRUE!!!!
I fell so satisfied seeing all the works he has done😍
Brother you gained a new subscriber! Amazing analysis
And thank you for these details❤
Thank you very much for the video I learned a lot
Finally! And i thought this day would never come
Imagine if abe and imai collab together for a fight or a project
Nahh best duo Abe+Kunihiro. Araki+ Imai is great however.
20:20 I believe Nozomu Abe has actually been using those kind of inky lines for a bit now. I remember seeing them in Lancers first Gae Bolg from the UBW series.
20:20
Abe actually used that "ink smears" before. Two examples i remember are his Gae Bolg on Fate UBW (the lancer vs archer ep) and one from Haifuri (the girl slicing the watermelon)
Great video btw. Really nice to see some Abe animation spotlight
Bro i love your animation analysis/breakdown videos please upload your reaction and analysis of Swordsmith village arc
can say he really did a lot of research about it as my did research back a lot about animators my fav one is hiroyuki okuira the realist genius
Honestly that zenitsu scene is what sucked me into demon slayer.
That and ep 19 are too iconic.
I really did not like the episode before S2's climax that much at first because of Sotozaki lol. So much slow mo and talking. Also imo the best Directors of Photography are definitely Terao and Funamoto from KyoAni.
Who was the director of photography on dragon maid s2? because i always liked its compositing.
love ur shit keep it up
Not Manko changing locations mid video 😂😂
2:48 lmao same rxn as mine after finding out the nominations
EDIT: love the breakdown for the first part will wait for part 2 specially for Abe's heaven feel scenes
Heaven's Feel trilogy have some jaw dropping visuals and animation
@@harman4321 yeh considering they were also working on DS during HL part 3 which for me was their peak performance
@@userK894Yeah I guess that's why S1 of DS wasn't their high priority show,they were clearly focusing on HF.
Also can you recommend me some good rom-com,slice of life or some weird ass show,Idk I'm tired of watching action shounen, shitty power fantasies and Isekai(already watched all the good ones so yeah 😔
@@harman4321 i don't watch romcom much except for the popular ones (I'm more of a psy/mystery watcher) but u can watch oregairu
For weird shows u can watch akiba maid war,idaten deities, prison school and caution hero (last two r more of a comedy show)
Next ep of SMV will have a half minute long abe cut.
I wonder what he do in Swordsmith village. I know he do that one sun breathing from like in the op but what about mist and love breathing 🤔
PART 2!!
I’m watching it again
S03 ep 1 reaction?
Just wondering, do the animators that are mentioned anime that entire section by themselves, or do they lead a group of animators for that section?
There are 2 main types of "animation". If you look at the bottom left of the scenes where I'm talking about a particular animator, you'll see that I've written "KA". This stands for key animation (Genga). This maps out the movement, timing, poses etc and is the most important work. After this comes in-betweening animation (douga). This is very rarely done by the key animators themselves. Usually it is outsourced to other studios. The douga artists trace the key frames and then fill in the blanks using the notes left by the key animators to make the scene complete.
So when I point out a scene and mention the name of an animator, it means that that animator did animate the whole scene, but technically not alone since the finished product is in-betweened by other people.
Awesome! Thankyou!
Nozomu Abe: I'm the Ufotable
Can you make a similar video for yuichiro hayashi
I think he is one of the best director in anime industry
Once AOT is finished.
@@-MankoMan makes sense 😶🌫️
Can you make a video on Akihiro Ota?
Is there any chance that you can talk about Akihori Ota and Vincent Chansard animation style ?
It's in my to do list. Both of them are industry leading action animators able to make highlights on their own with extraordinary background animation. One piece staff is blessed.
I can't wait to see the next abe work in demon slayer
You think he animated mist or love breathing.
@@catlike9444 Both
What do think about the changes of director on mushoku tensei will it be bad?
It won't definitely be bad
It will have mediocre animation ig ?
It will have mediocre animation ig ?
5:42 can someone write name of the anime? I couldn't find it based on name i heard in video.
Ikki Tousen
Please maka a part 2 too
masayuki kunihiro in my opinion its ib of yoh yoshinari he use the same slow fast pace and he is veteran too since gainax and his smoke effect is very diffrent
Omg its happening😱😱
while rewatching DS did ya count how many times characters were CGI?
24:58 lmao can you share link of this Anya mouse?! Lmao🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Now do one on Hiromatsu Shuu or Zo Hasosong😭. He's fuking incredible. There's also other Chinese animator who works for Nice Boat animation who is as good as Abe . Or just Tam Lu who drops bombs left and right.
Can you talk about Mushoku Tensei S1 Sakuga
Fujimoto spotlight next?!
hes a mangaka😂
jk
@@chapri_from_chapra5443Kouki Fujimoto (I guess?)
@@harman4321 jk = just kidding
@@chapri_from_chapra5443 I'm blind in my left eye and 69 percent blind in my right eye 💀
Jk
@@harman4321 ok get will seen 🤗🤗
Are you gonna continue reacting to season 3 demon slayer ?? that would be amazing
No time to make reaction videos anymore. Sorry :(
Are you of Indian origins?
After this video, MankoMan will never upload for 5 years.
Mankoman is being consistent?
Don't jinx it
They also gonna do the gensin impact anime, i don't play the game but I'll watch the anime.
Bro do one piece wano animation breakdown. Majority of the wano episodes are superb.
Unfortunately he doesn't watch One Piece (I guess)
@@harman4321 but he can criticize and explains the animation, no story required
@@strawhat6009 yeah wano also does great effects from the scenes I have seen
Lmao, thanks for bringing attention to the joke that was the 2023 Crunchyroll awards around the 3 minute mark. Seriously, I love spy family, but how the hell did it win best comedy in a year with Kaguya sama? HOW DID DEMON SLAYER WIN BEST FANTASY WHEN ITS COMPETITION WAS MUSHOKU TENSEI AND RANKING OF KINGS WHAT THE FU-
The funny thing is demon slayer overall is not fantasy. In fact it's more supernatural then anything else and it takes place in the tashiro era of Japan which is early 1904 in our world, like lol fantasy is supposed to take place in a completely different world 😅😂🤣 and this is coming from a demon slayer fan.
@@catlike9444 EXACTLY! I have no clue how it was nominated, let alone won. Half of the wind in the awards went to the same couple shows anyways so why didn’t they show stuff like ousama ranking some love? Complete joke imo
Tweet from the beginning: Demon slayer has and will have the the best animation in all of anime existence.
Heaven's Feel Trilogy: Hold my Excalibur
Heaven's feel is Ufotable's best work, but even then it's not even close to being the best animation, even put against movies from 20 years ago.
@@-MankoMan I agree. I wasn't being serious and I didn't think about other anime movies from the past that have great animation. What are some old anime movies you think have great animation?
@@milkshrekpasta Spriggan, Akira, Ghost in the shell, Ghibli movies, Redline just to name a few. Plus there's Blood: the last vampire released in the year 2000 that I have to specifically mention because not only is it incredible with its animation, but it also has digital compositing that's on par with the best movies released today.
loop
I thought Abe was a freelancer and Kunihiro as the ace🥲. Since he worked on many things outside Ufotable.
yeah he is a freelancer lastly i think he did lycoris recoil
He a freelance but he will always do ufotable work. Like how arifumi is to wit despite being a freelance
@@catlike9444 not quite right. While Abe gets involved in all of Ufotable anime, Imai does not. And also Imai works as CAD, Action Animation director for other studios. It's how Hironori Tanaka and Keichiro Watanabe are for Mappa.
@@simplyrohith2163 oh okay
Oh I'm late to this video BUT abe is In-house for ufotable since mugen train.
