Everyone is affraid of Levi. Fictional or otherwise.

The fact that most Japanese animators are underpaid, understaffed and overworked but still manage to produce masterpieces
Now imagine what they could produce with good pay, enough staff and enough rest. You'd get less animes every year but it would look soooo incredibly good in exchange

Arifumi Imai did his thing as a key animator and it shows
LMAO..underrated comment..
then the scene flash back to said Animator looking at his/her hands because they fell off while you see Levi zooming on their computer scene. lmao.
The animators of Demon Slayer have to be applauded. What a master piece.
You mean Ufotable? Also Demon Slayer isn't even close to Ufotable's beat animated show, that title goes to Fate/Stay Night Heavens Feel, nothing in Demon Slayer even compares to things like Rider Vs Salter or Salter Vs Berserker
Also Demon Slayer is no masterpiece, not even close it's carried hard by animation, the actual story and characters are extremely mediocre

Most people still don't realize the MAPPA took over Attack on Titan cause nobody else wanted to do season 4 in the time frame that was given, that is why MAPPA did cgi titans cause it was less time consuming, not cause they thought it would look better.
Was just about to say this myself lol. For the time they had I think they did a phenomenal job
They do be taking a lot of projects though which is a little bit unfair for their other anime pointing out to Attack on Titan, although they really did a great job and in fact did their best and a lot of people find the 4th season great which is the important thing, still if only they gave it more time we would definitely see something better if not the best.
And now MAPPA is taking leverage with the popularity of Attack on Titan. Their other works are being discover by many and becoming more popular.
also, cgi was used before mappa took over
How much was the time frame that was given?
In my 30 years of life, Kenny vs Levi is the coolest thing I've ever seen
When The Animation is so Good that even The Animators Can't Describe how Good it is.
Mob psycho is probably one of the most imaginative animes ever, they can have like 5 different styles of animation in one episode it's rad
Huh? No no no, you're getting confused. What you see in mob are sakugas. Mob psycho has a ton of sakuga every now and then. This isn't unique to the world of anime, anime from the 1900s till now have had a lot of sakuga implemented in their shows. Essentially a sakuga is a scene that differentiates itself compared to the rest of the scenes in having unique points of view, different artstyle, different animation style and typically more fluid animation than what the anime usually does.
Sure mob's animation is very good but you must also pay attention to the art style which has a lot to do with how they handle the animation style. Mob Psycho's art style is very well made and unique and it's super artistic full of talented artists.
So mob psycho is probably one of the most uniquely made animation style due to its artstyle and amount of sakuga they have.
Also something else i wanna say is that sakuga are usually made by one specific talented artist that either works for the company or is one for hire which is always being asked to complete jobs from many different anime. That also explains why sakuga has a bit of a different art style in general, it's cause it's a specific artist's art style.
@@g_g... yeah mob psycho is a sakoog show
It’s just like Cowboy Bepop and Akira, they are SAKUGA 【作画】
Guys I ain't talking about the sakuga, I mean the show has traditional, sakuga, CG, paint on glass animation and more in single episodes
Why is no one talking about Naruto.....
The levi chase scene is one of the best piece of animation work I have ever seen
When the trailer dropped originally, it blew me away. It's so cool!
Love that scene but it doesn’t touch some of the best scenes from the fate series
@@emielminderhoud8951 The chase scene surpasses those of Fate lol wdym
meh
Jojo bizarre adventure
My favorite perspective shot in AOT is when Armin is helping Eren climb out of the underground crystal ceremony catacombs. Armin is above ground and reaches down to grab Eren’s arm. He looks gigantic in this split second which I totally believe it’s foreshadowing him to become the Colossal Titan.
Let's appreciate the camera man who track Levi during that chase scene
We have to remember that the animators in mappa had less than a year to animate the entire season, we have to give those workers respect
yea im pretty sure it was like 6 months
@@PaleWhiteSkinGamer It was a little bit more, if I'm not wrong the 6 months gap was the time between the animation staff find out about the release date for the series and the release of it
@The Killcode Yeah, the people with the rights of the manga for pushing so hard for the realease date and the MAPPA executives for accepting that job knowing damn well the animators were going to suffer have all the blame of what happened with this season. There are some amazing shots, but it could have been even better with a proper shedule
mappa still shitty for accepting. aot anime production committee is already evil for creating devilish deadlines and schedule and WIT studio declined because it would hurt them and many other studio declined because of the same reason. If MAPPA didn't accept them, they would accept their mistake and elongate the deadline and schedule.
so yes we should shit on mappa because they accepted, but thank animators for their work. if you guys lick their ass and justify everything they do, you'd ruin every anime.
I'm personally not a fan of the 3d titans, because it just looks worse but I understand the whole time/budget restraints and in all fairness, it isn't bad 3D so still easily watchable. Overlord is a series where the 3d animations are just pure pain to watch, like the normal animation is great and probably where all the budget went but those 3D models definitely takes you out of the show.
One Punch Man: Saitama vs Boros!
PLEASE
Saitama vs Genos too
The live action remake of that scene on CZcams is incredible. I want Corridor to break it down one day. The CGI is arguably better than any video they're done.
Yes
It is very good.
AOT actually had 3D environments with 2D characters for ODM scenes all the way to the first time. Before they released season 1 they already had that technique established, it was a decision they made instead of full 3D scenes.
The Levi scene was far from the first time.
Exactly
Exactly (2)
Exactly (3)
Exactly (4)
Exactly (5)
10:12 In here, Eren transformed for the second time in a row after he sealed the wall. Transformation consumes a lot of energy and when he does, his titan form gets smaller. They actually mentioned it on the show before. Idk if the animators thought of that, but it might be the reason.
It doesn’t work like that, titans are the same every time
true but in the fight he literally shape-shifted mid scene so I doubt that was the reason
@@albertow9123 Episode 38 (S3E1) 4:25 into the episode Levi says Erens transformation is only 10 meters tall that time. Sub and Dub are both consistent on that fact too.
The colossal titan is also weirdly proportioned where his legs are huge and thick compared to his head and body which also makes wren look smaller
Thats not true
Violet Evergarden has some of the most beautiful and realistic animations in it with how some of the perspectives are. It's just pure eye candy to watch.
It's also a audio orgasm persecond a visual orgasm per frame ect
I think they mix cg and art, and they do it so seamlessly well too
Yeah
i knew i would find this comment
Realistic like when they walk on water?
Mob Psycho 100.
The way the drawing style changes as Mob loses more control is totally something else.
The way Mob's manifestations are drawn are so full of power, especially the ???%
Mob psycho has a lot of different kinds of animation, all fantastic, it's a must
I agree. There's no comparison of Mob Psycho 100's animation
There are just so many details in mob psycho that every minute i can feel the passion of the people behind the animation.
The moment where shimizaki vs everyone for me is the best
Something that really hit me was the way they did eyes in Violet Evergarden during the more emotion felt moments. You could actually see the emotion in their eyes and I feel as though capturing something like that is so hard for animators and artists to do.
It actually took me ages to realize the titans had actually become CGI. if only they used the same stuff for the berserk anime instead of the horrible butchering they did.
I’m still haunted by the berserk anime till this day
Luckily I stopped at the opening scene in ep1
The titans being CG was like the first change I've noticed. They feel a lot "lighter" if that makes sense. Their movements are a lot faster and they don't feel as massive as they felt the 3 previous seasons.
Honestly the berserk anime was the final straw that took me to the realization that if I wanted to experience berserk, I had to read the manga

Mob psycho is literally a masterclass amalgamation of several talented young artists celebrating their medium
A ground breaking anime is demon slayer in the sense that it can blend 2d and 3d anime seamlessly. An example is the chase down with Tanjiro and Rui in episode 19 as well as the first episode where Tanjiro is running through the forest
Demon Slayer was made by ufotable which also used the cgi blending with the fate series way before demon slayer.
Demon slayer has good animation, but it's definitely not groundbreaking. Do some research first.
@@wonderfulpaperz1761 Exactly, if ufotable didn't animate demon slayer, it wouldn't be nearly as popular. Carried by animation and only that
ya whatever. that anime is trash. was only carried by its animation and its animation "ALONE".
@@orav7951 nah demon slayer has better story depth than fate series . fate series will never be as popular as DS .
Violet Evergarden, or anything made by the studio Kyoto Animation. They went through some heartbreaking stuff after what happened to their studio and deserve some love.
THIS, but also like the Timelapse sequences in it would also be a great talking point
YESSS PLEASE!
I also agree with Violet Evergarden cause the animation techniques they did where so interesting. They used 3d modeling for the background's and objects and then animate over everything and insert the characters into the scenes after.
I agree with basically anything made by Kyoto Animation. In my opinion, the performance by Kitauji in season 2, episode 5 of Hibike! Euphonium is one of the best animated scenes ever made.
Please VE for the eyes drawing
I love this guy. He's super excited about everything animation, like a kid watching morning cartoons, but at the same time being super knowledgable about everything going on, and being able to appreciate all the minor things happening on screen. Would love more of this!
You mean Alex?
@@3dguy299 Yeah
Just warms my heart when a grown man nerds out about something he loves and knows a lot about. I hope i find something that gives me that kind of happiness :)
And I appreciate him for knowing what he's talking about
Yeah let's get him back. Instant fan
I think the noticable part of cg in aot season 4 is the hard shadows on their Bodies, it really stands out😅
Houseki no Kuni/Land of the Lustrous must be one of the groundbreaking anime. I don't know much about CGI, but that's one of the most unique drawing and a complete masterpiece. I think they integrate a lot of CGI with drawings, but-- I just want to hear more from professional animators standpoint!
I think it's all CGI
Mob psycho is worth a react video, it’s visuals are stunning, the foil effect on the psychic powers is incredible
Also the crazy paint on glass and sand on glass animation in it, just stunning. The ending of MP100 season 1, pure animation porn.
ABSOLUTELY
Plot Twist saitama was a Psycho mob Character
Yes yes and yes
Mob Psycho is criminally underrated, it should have just as much traction as OPM imo...
Violet Evergarden has incredible detail in every frame of animation. Each scene feels like a painting that took hours upon hours to draw. It's beautiful and the emotions in it are just as intense

Kyoto animation being jaw droppingly beautiful isn't groundbreaking though. While I agree with what you said I don't think I would list that.

The scale of the titan at 10:17 is changing because the japanese animations are mostly done by freelance animator working from their places, so there's little or no control of the actual work until it's delivered to the studio. It's the animation director's role to fix the issues ( bad design, scale, poor timing etc...) but when you're out of time, you just let the cut in without correction because the schedules are so tight. Plus, you can have one single cut drawn by a certain artist and the following one by another one. One of them can read the e conte ( storyboard ) and decide his character has to be tall enough to grab the giant titan at his ankle while the second one will decide that the correct size allows the hero to seize the knee.
Mob Psycho 100 has beautiful and incredibly fluid animation. It’s truly unique, even features Paint-on-Glass animation in many episodes and in the first season ED (which took months to complete!)
If it wasn't for Mappa, we wouldn't get a final season of attack on titan. No other studio wanted it, because they didn't want to ruin the final season. Too much pressure. For Mappa, it was easier to CG the titans than to draw them with the talent they had at their studio and the time they had. That's why the final arc will be delayed so they can draw the titans this time. I truly appreciate what Mappa has done.
Well that, and they had to end season 4 part 1 at the place they did, because they were waiting for the last few chapters of the manga to end back in April. So they couldn't really continue the story beyond that point, without them ending it in the middle of a conflict. Now they ended it at the start of the conflict, and have about a year to animate and create the last 10 or so episodes and do them justice.
Makes you wonder why part one didn’t get enough time? Almost like they didn’t give a crap about how it looked.
i'd rather read manga than watching those ass cg
@@dzulkarnain3853 Then it's a good thing, that you are able to do just that. Mappa added the CGI due to their strict schedule. The blue ray version won't have any CGI, and neither will season 4 part 2.
@@dzulkarnain3853 FYI lemme tell you the more the day goes most of the thing will become cg so if u got this type of mindset you are not gonna watch cg ever ur gonna be limited to more future animes (If u don't care, then what can I say). Like my father doesn't like vfx on todays anime like fate series, He liked handdrawn vfx of Op, Dbz. And now were the generation that came to like vfx but can't take cg. But the next generation will like cg as it will progress across the anime industry and you can't do nothing about it. It's budget friendly time saving. And we're seeing the 1st generation of cg so it will look bad. But at the time goes it will eventually get good
I think some of my favorite bits of cool animation came from Space Dandy. They got different animators for each episode so each one has its own look and feel and they really pushed the style a lot in each episode.
The different titan look for wren kinda seems pretty cool, cause later him as a character changes, so his titan looking different fits
I can't help but suggest The Subterraneans vs Saitama from the first episode of One Punch Man

Loved the commentary, it was super interesting to learn about these anime from an insider perspective. Thanks for giving those animators the respect they deserve.
Not only did Alex answered each question with competence, he also consistently added a level of insight that also ended up answering questions that I had as well. I need to commend Niko and Wren for giving our guest the opportunity to flesh out layman terms for viewers. If there is ever a phrase or saying privy to the industry, hosts do not shy away from getting the guests' perspective on what they particularly mean. Whenever I ask myself, "I wonder what they mean by that?" By the time I’m done thinking, our hosts have already had our guest define it in their own thoughts and expertise. Great video, I enjoy it, as it aligned with many thoughts that I’ve had over the years 👍
The fight between Asuka and the other Eva's in the End of Evangelion is still one of the best anime scenes of all time. The whole show is super groundbreaking.
^^this^^
I'd put the end battle in 3.0 up with it.
@@kuhpunkt I watch that scene on the daily and still get goosebumbs
@@m1bl4n The music alone. I love the NGE score, but the ones from the Rebuilds blow them away.
Incredible use of momentum at that specific size scale
Mob Psycho 100 is an Anime with outstanding animation in literally every scene, but especially some fight scenes
The teleported fight blew my mind
@@Temujin.Thinketh. Yea thats one of my top 5 anime fights for me
Also, the ending whiteboard sequences
I'd put more focus in the style vs quality of the frames. Gigguk made a pretty good analysis of it
That teleporter fight tho.. i never seen anything like that.
Loved hearing this from an insider perspective! For something groundbreaking in anime check out any missile sequence from Macross/Robotech. I think they did it first but you see this type of immersive tracking in even anime now.
Puella Magi Madoka Magica
Not only is its one of the landmark Magical Girl anime with a beautiful story. But the animation in the Labyrinths, the way the Witches are drawn. The surreal, patchwork style animation is just incredible and would probably be really fun to get an animators opinion on
I feel that Mob Psycho 100 was a groundbreaking anime because they used so many different styles of art and animation. Also Yu Yu Hakusho had the greatest tournament arc of all time.
The fight with the teleporting psychic (i forget his name) in s2 is one of the cleanest fights I’ve seen
Even the opening and credits are displays of older types of animation, and it's story integrated with the animation extremely well, it's not just shoehorned in. All the spirits and ghosts have really different types of animation based on whether they're malicious or passive, and the powers are easy to gouge purely from the visual representation.
Hes talking about animation not how good a tournament arc is
@@NoNo-fe8kn yeah that one is so fcking good
Just had to throw yuyu in a comment about animation lol
Redline's intesity and sense of speed in some scenes made me literally hold my breath, it was also ENTIRELY hand drawn and was probably one of the last anime movie ever to be made that way because it took 7 years and nearly sunk the studio
man i just watched that for the second time last night, it's just so good!
@@OZITOMAE Mad Max Fury Road is the only other movie that gives me a hardcore excited feeling. Both movies are just intense.
"Vivy Fluorite Eye's Song fight scene" was visually outstanding and i would love to see it in one of your videos
This was such a good episode. I got so much information from it. Great job!
Anything Satoshi Kon has done is groundbreaking. The man’s mind was incredible, and he’s the reason we have movies like Black Swan and Inception.
Definitely, and Kon’s use of editing is next level, kind of a subtle heightening of live action editing beyond its limitations by using animation.
Kon was amazing, too bad he's not here with us anymore.
sorry im not aware of the fact that movies like inception were inspired from it, good to know that it is
check out his manga Opus it's kind of a perfect send off
@@simonshepard7427 I absolutely loved Opus! Not enough people know about it, I’m glad I’m not the only one who thinks it’s great.
Mob Psycho: Teru vs. Shimazaki
Probably the most impressive display of well animated teleportation powers I've seen in any media
The mob vs koyama fight is amazing as well
Mob Psycho: the lesser known, but arguably better, older brother of One Punch Man.
scars members vs shimazaki would be good as well
Shimazaki Vs. Everyone.....
One of the Best Anime Fights...
They did the scale thing with Eren and the Colossal Titan in the manga too- I was reading it and had a moment of ‘wait that can’t be right’
It's maybe because he transformed second time in a row....
For the next episode I would recommend reviewing mushoku tensei. It has amazing cg that blend and pair perfectly with the hand drawn images. The hand drawn images are also amazing. I think Bind studio did a perfect job and poured their heart in it. It can definitely match up against top tier studios like ufotable, Mappa, madhouse,etc
Hopefully, someday.
To be honest, I think Mushoku Tensei would be the most deserving of coverage, because of the effort put into the smallest of scenes. Like in in episode one, where Rudeus first attempts at magic are beautifully animated to a point, where I think it might be the best looking magic ever done in animation(08:33, 13:20, ep.2, 05:38, 18:06), the same applies to Roxys magic(ep. 1, 17:37, ep.2, 16:35), in episode 3 (14:09), as well as to Sylphies magic. And that’s still ignoring all the gorgeous, lively character animation and the stunning background drawings. I also think Mushoku Tenseis training scenes (good examples in episodes 6 (10:18), 7(00:00), 10(00:00),12(07:08) and 21(02:20)), deserve a lot of credit, seeing how they are not really important to the story: You could just have the characters talk about training or show a few still frames instead of actually animating them, yet instead those scenes are better animated than most series finales. That said, those finales do hit hard, although there not really being a final battle, since the stories most integral parts aren’t necessarily it’s fights. Also, showing the fight in episode 21 (later in the episode) would kinda spoil a lot, so it’s probably not to good to review.
Hope that helps ^^.
@@lyew8886 yes preach brother, the greatness that Mushouku Tensei is
Eren’s attack titan looked small because that episode eren transformed countless times and i remember them mentioning that once a titan shifter transforms too many times, the titan would look a bit smaller than it would usually do.
Yes around 3 times maybe if i am not wrong
@@sushantmanhasss183 yes 2-3 times
exactly
but just before he attacked the colossal he wasn't small, they were on his shoulder so he couldn't have been to much smaller than 15m, and they still changed his size during that scene
@@tristanperkins9828 he only shifted once then
Redline (2009) is absolute masterpiece that took like 8 years to make. I really think you guys should do it justice

Hell yes

Amazing movie!
Fuck yeah!!!!!
Lightbulb moment, like a spark in my brain. Alex brings fun and interesting insights, I never realized how much film relies on jumpcuts, while animation relies on transitionary movement with the respective visual space.
Almost every ghibli film were ground breaking, nausicaa was probably one of the craziest films ever made at the time.
Land of the Lustrous is quite groundbreaking for basically changing the world's opinion on the use of CGI in anime
Agreed
Land of the Lustrous is one of the first times that I truly felt I could love a fully CG anime.
For sure!
Totally it's incredible! too bad it didn't got a second season :(
totally agree
Any show made by Ufotable studios (Fate Series, Kimetsu no Yaiba) is just a blessing. They're probably the only studio as of now that can blend 3dcg with their spectacular 2d animation smoothly not to mention how great their art direction is
Seconded, the fight scenes in the 3rd Fate: Heavens Feel film were on a whole other level, my jaw was on the floor
God Eater is probably Ufotable at their best imo
@@KonariVibez no
This
Kara no Kyoukai.
This was an awesome video concept and the insights about pencil mileage, animating efficiency, and prioritizing energy and motion over “accuracy” in anime drawing were fascinating!
I’d love to see you react to and bring animators to join for the Demon Slayer movie’s fight scenes on the Mugen Train. (Demon Slayer: Mugen Train) is the movie. The way story and energy are expressed is truly delightful, stylized, and represents tremendous amounts of effort.
I think in season 4 part 2 they really honed in the CG usage well, because I don't get the same feeling of "that looks kinda weird, but whatever" at all in any of the battle scenes. It's pretty much exactly what you guys were talking about at 13:40, they were trying to make things more *realistic* feeling by doing things like motion-tracking animation, more weighty movements, etc, but it just doesn't track with the shows animation till that point. That for me as all but absent in part 2, it feels like they went back to doing what made AoT shine and have its flare.
violet evergarden is genuinely one of the prettiest shows ever, and redline
Dont watch it guys save yourselves some happiness
@@flygod. man I was gonna watch it but many people have warned me about that sweet sweet depression that follow
@@pariot4567 that's the beauty of it
@@pariot4567 it's like life, it has good and bad things, dude def must-watch! :)
yeah redline is definitely a movie i recommend.
The Levi escape is probably one of the best animation it feels like you are moving with him you are completely engulfed in the moment
Better check Arifumi Imai's works, every key animation cuts he did in AoT and any anime from Wit are top class sakuga animation
To be honest, I think Mushoku Tensei would be the most deserving of coverage, because of the effort put into the smallest of scenes. Like in in episode one, where Rudeus first attempts at magic are beautifully animated to a point, where I think it might be the best looking magic ever done in animation(08:33, 13:20, ep.2, 05:38, 18:06), the same applies to Roxys magic(ep. 1, 17:37, ep.2, 16:35), in episode 3 (14:09), as well as to Sylphies magic. And that’s still ignoring all the gorgeous, lively character animation and the stunning background drawings. I also think Mushoku Tenseis training scenes (good examples in episodes 6 (10:18), 7(00:00), 10(00:00),12(07:08) and 21(02:20)), deserve a lot of credit, seeing how they are not really important to the story: You could just have the characters talk about training or show a few still frames instead of actually animating them, yet instead those scenes are better animated than most series finales. That said, those finales do hit hard, although there not really being a final battle, since the stories most integral parts aren’t necessarily it’s fights. Also, showing the fight in episode 21 (later in the episode) would kinda spoil a lot, so it’s probably not to good to review.
Hope that helps ^^.
Mushoku was abolutley snubbed this year for best animation. It was objectively better than Demon Slayer on a technical level.
they even flexed their animation with Rudeus breaking a piece of bread in half
honestly i think its cool animation but pretty generic, its not on pair with ufotable.
@@SToXC_. Not generic at all. It's consistently amazing.
@@SToXC_. ufotable use a lot of 3D effects combined in their shows.
I feel you guys should do another Anime reaction video. I just watched the latest episode of Ranking of Kings (ep. 21), and I must say this episode's animation is by far some of the best animation I've seen.
WIT studio supremacy
Asuka vs the mass-production Evas in End of Evangelion. Actually, almost any of End of Evangelion is groundbreaking, but that fight has such incredible animation
That was pretty alright for me xD I never understood the hype for NGE
yeah. thats a pretty stellar fight scene
that's right dude!!!, i personally include the new evangelion movies for example when shinji "activated" the eva 13 in evangelion 3.0 or when asuka, shinji and rei fight vs sahaquiel in evangelion 2.22
Great pick! In that scene you can feel the mass of an an eva and the pilots struggle to control it like never before... a true animation masterpiece ! Also the rebuild series could make a great subject for a future animators react video, with its production spanning 15 years of progress in CG animation. And there’s some making-of material on the BRs :)
I didn't pay much attention to stellar animation before this fight scene but I audibly reacting when seeing it. The sheer scale of the EVAs is perfectly conveyed and ugh the sound is on point and it's all 2d if I remember correctly. Loved End of Evangelion and thought it was an amazing end to the series. So many compelling themes come crashing together; Love, eternity, loss, parents, friends, connection, grief, god, the pending apocalypse. All tied beautifully together.
Mob Psycho 100 is a really unique anime. Incredible action, fascinating mixed-media animation methods, just out of this world levels of style. I recommend the fight vs Shimazaki (aka the teleporter) from season 2.
I think I'd recommend the fight against the Scar in the alley in season 1. The Shimazaki fight is great, but the alley fight is just insane
The sort of holographic foil mask on the psychic energy in that show is so cool.
This anime is so underrated
The Shimazaki fight would be awesome!!
I was thinking the same. Mob psycho was top tier animation and the art style was so unique.
crazy that they haven't done a second one of these yet
I love the insight of "They're saving frames for later" xD Thanks for that
[Edit: They also leverage the storytelling so that one wave of the cold guy's hand means SO much, because he's been built up as this powerhouse. So when he does one meaningful, wound-up wave of his hand you're like "ohhhhh....Someone's gonna Get IT!!!!"]
Jujutsu Kaisen Itadori and Todo vs Hanami
This fight shows the distorted zoom perspectives of each member(how Levi's face can be a 30mm lens, and his foot is an 8mm lens), how energy is used for transportation when todo claps or uses his ability (the effects for it are amazing), and how Hinami uses its cursed energy attacks, Hinami's attacks are spread throughout the entirerty of the screen using a lot of detail in "Pencil Mileage". Plus when Saturo Gojo uses hollow purple at the end, shows how eastern culture uses energy and the intensity from it to really pull the viewer in.
whole series
@@ZaitroSilau you right
YES ! THIS ONE PLEASE
Fun Fact: The Kenny vs Levi fight scene took the studio 8 months to animate.
it was worth every goddamn second of it
And from what I heard, the entirety of season 4 took 8 months as well lol.
@@gregorygeorge8695 6 months actually, and people still shit on mappa, they tried so hard to get the season out, if they didn’t we would’ve never gotten season 4
@@tccutthroat5961 no shade on MAPPA, because it’s primarily the production committee’s fault that S4 was rushed, but we would have gotten a fourth season, with or without them. Thinking no MAPPA=no season 4 makes no sense. Hopefully the Blu-ray release corrects some of the off-looking moments.
People hate on MAPPA because they were money hungry and rushed S4. Its that simple. Should’ve let WiT take their time with it.
I honestly think its amazing what levels hand drawn animation has reached, because if you think about it logically it kind of seems like an impossible art form to master outside of short and simple bursts.
I too wouldn't want anyone finding out I watch anime vertically, this product is just what I need!
Akira was groundbreaking because it was one of the first animes that actively animated entire face movements instead of just mouths and eyes. They had a very low amount of freeze frames beyond landscapes of the city.
still looks better than pretty much everything else. love the whole movie and the animation holds up
akira also is the first animation with 3d stuff for like the sky reflections and things like that
It's also one of the few Japanese animated films if not THE ONLY ONE to record their lines BEFORE animating to get accurate lip sync.
@@fatheroflies well they went bankrupt to make it so it's only natural.
Well not literally, they just went so over budget they couldn't make a return in the box office despite the success of the film, but still most productions try to keep a reasonable scope to avoid issues like that.
Akira= Groundbreaking
It brought Anime to the western world and showed people of the west that animation isn’t just for kids. Plus it looks incredible.
ikr
and man the craftsmanship on the animation and the backgrounds is incredible.
Jujutsu Kaisen has some insane animation, notably the fight between Maki and Mai. I feel like that scene costed more than the whole of some older anime’s 💀
I have a suggestion for an anime themed episode(s). Anime that have been remade with updated and completely different art styles. Some of my favorite animes are remakes of the originals so there are:
- Fate/Stay Night (2004) and Fate/Stay Night Unlimited Blade Works (2014). The running joke in the anime community is that Ufotable flexes their budget using this anime and you can see why (a personal favorite)
- Full Metal Alchemist (2003) and Full Metal Alchemist:Brotherhood (2009)
- Hunter X Hunter (1999) and Hunter X Hunter (2011). Another personal favorite.
- Dororo (1969) and Dororo (2019). Because who doesn’t love a good throwback
- Beserk (1997) and Beserk (2016)
Fate Series by ufotable
the way how they use CGI, shadow, colour, steam and light effects is just incredible.
Honestly just anything by Ufotable from Kara no Kyoukai and after
They did it so good its because they did on the same room/studio so they could give some feedback/polish on their cgi team meanwhile most of studios when they're using 3DCGI, they outsourced it on another studio
If they do a certain fight from Fate/Stay Night Heavens Feel III Spring Song, I'm gonna cry
@@trickyagent127 I'm personally a fan of the super short assassin vs archer engagement in ubw
@@a_businessman that was pure gold for me, I don't know why no one talks about that more (yes ik it's not that important to the plot but come on)
Redline is probably the most influential but underrated anime film. It’s animation was completely ahead of it’s time. Just perfect animation and mind blowing perspective and breathtaking fluidity
Yes Redline had such a unique style!! What a gorgeous film.
100% agree. I recently rewatched it again and it’s just so animated, even the non action scenes. Definitely one of my favorites.
Completely true, I love it.
Can't stress enough that they need to react to it. At least the YellowLine Race.
The art of Redline is it's pure feeling of speed and momentum all compacted in a jawdropping hand-drawn animation.
I love the fact that everything in redline was all hand drawn
Simón vs the anti spiral fist fight felt very real, I’d love for you guys to react to it
To be honest, 2D hand drawn animation has something in it that 3D animation can't provide.
I guess you haven't seen spider verse
@@iaminevitable3495 i hated 3d animation until u said that cuz spiderverse is probably one of my favorite movie of all time
@@iaminevitable3495 Love it. However it's not completely CG, they literally had to paint every frame.
Facts
That's a load of bs. You are just used to the movement of 2d, that's why 3d feels a little weird.
Demon Slayer: the entire series is just so aesthetically pleasing. It has beautiful animation and beautiful scenery. Highly recommend to watch it
I think Fate, specifically the Heaven's Feel movies, is a better showcase for Ufotable. Don't get me wrong, Demon Slayer looks amazing, but their movies are on a completely different level.
AnD tHaT oNe FiReR sWoRd DaNcE ePiSoDe!!!
yes? OvO
The characters is where it starts, the art is just collateral
@@RXOBANSH33 But aren't they made by the same studio?
I've really wanted to get into it but will I be traumatized if I watch it?
I would love to see a reaction to the progression of animation in One Piece. With a show that’s been out for 20 years, it has obviously changed a lot
You guys should try this 2-season anime called Jormungand (2012), it has some action elements combined with 3D objects when they fire off a round, it shows a spent cartridge of the gun they’re using, and the angles they have done for the hand-to-hand and gunfight scenes.
Reason why I’m loving Jormungand is the story and the action moments, taking elements from the actual military tactics while combining it with breaking laws of physics of the grounded anime by having some similarities with Naruto in some moment.
The cowboy bebop movie has the best dogfight ever put to screen.
Macross Plus holds that title. love Cowboy Bebop but pay respect.
@@Janzer_ Macross for the win on that Absolutely amazing dogfight
@@Janzer_ Macross 1984 movie has the best space combat of any title that has come afterwards. Wings of Honneamise also had an epic climatic battle, which is unsurprising considering that it’s also Gainax (like Bebop).
@@Janzer_ idk man, the cowboy bebop dogfight reaches akira levels of animation quality
It's amazing - but not as good as 3x3 eyes!
The Violet Evergarden staff literally reinvented how the studio animates using blender. And Beastars pushes the boundaries of cg animation; I don't remember the specifics, but the did something impressive with the facial expressions.
Yes!!!!
Instead of Beastars I would say that Land of the Lustrous pushed the boundary first
Canipa Effect!
@@lazyvt9728 Kara no Kyoukai already pushed that boundary 14 years ago.
I've only seen some clips but fire force in terms of sound and visual effects are just sooooo good so well done
Feel like there should be another animators react video again. And I just had a flash back recommend videos pop up. It would be cool to see your point of view of the Animusic saga. Be cooler if you could get the creators on the show too.
Guys please, everyone's saying Demon Slayer or One Punch but I need you guys to appreciate Violet Evergarden's animation it's BEAUTIFUL
YEEEEEEEEEES, its fucking so beautiful
@Nathen Hubbard idk if this is ironic but no i've seen a bit of jojo and it's not bad but violet vergarden is just much better
True
Lol, meliodas vs escanor is the most beautiful and realistic animation ever
Really, Violet Evergarden is so pretty!
For me, Redline is a groundbreaking anime. Took 7 years to produce with over 100,000 hand drawn frames. A masterpiece.
+1
and somehow still managed to be an enormous failure at the box office that bankrupted Madhouse.
@@MegaRad666 That's why most things are trash these days, it's not worth the effort.
I watched redline for the first time recently and was blown away with how beautiful it was
you my friend got taste
Check out Redline, its one of my favorite animated movies of all time produced by Madhouse. The whole thing you guys talked about with japanese animation having emphasis on energy, this movie is absolutely filled to the brim with that. It took 7 years to produce with around 100,000 drawings.
One thing I've always loved about AoT is that the titans scale comes from the backgrounds, if you took away the fleshy detail of the titans and removed the backgrounds it would just look like a regular person. The use and manipulation of perspective and scale is insanely impressive.
(Minus the bits they were pointing out with Erin and Bertholdts titan, I never really noticed that)
If Niko lies any lower on that couch, he's going to be drawn by Leo DeCaprio like a French girl.
Jojo's Bizzare Adventure's use of color palette changes is absolutely amazing
Plus everything's a Jojo's reference for a reason
I mentioned the episode with Terence D’arby as a CRAZY visual experience, but Diamond is Unbreakable’s yellow sky is just insane
YES!
Re: groundbreaking anime
Mob Psycho 100 has an entire sequence that's done by filming the frames painted on *glass*
For a recommendation: basically anything studio Ufotable does. They blend in cgi background and particle effects so well with regular drawn animation. For them cgi is not an afterthought because drawing something would be too difficult for time consuming, it is an actual asset that determines a lot of what they want to animate. I personally like anything Fate so I will recommend Saber Vs Berserker from Fate Stay Night UBW as well as Saber Alter Vs Berserker and Rider Vs Saber Alter from Fate Stay Night Heavens Feel.
Redline was groundbreaking if you ask me. It was 6 or so years-worth of the most beautiful hand drawn visual overload.
If I could like this again I would.
Redline is incredible
Cowboy Bebop: the 90's to grunge and downscale look was groundbreaking with amazing choreography.
still one of the best, and totally still holds up decades later. I probably watch it through about once every year or two. it helped set a standard for choreography I think, especially moving forward from that era as anime started exploding internationally. cowboy bebop is still in my top 3. I love the future-retro style too, it makes the world feel more physical somehow, like there are cities on other planets but they still kind of have a crowded 90s metropolitan feel amongst all the future tech, and the spacecraft feel especially solid and like physical vehicles. and that soundtrack... yoko kanno is one of my heroes.
12:22 “Jiujitsu Kaisan”
Excellent video but that killed me ngl 😭
A lot of the older gibli studio films leading with "shihiro" would be cool... Because they are so good in capture a certain type of mood, which takes you into this dream worlds, in every shot and through out the whole movies... The movements I find also have something different to a lot of the animes today... Something warm and pleasing to look at.. Storytelling of course...
Death Note was probably the one that really got me into anime. The exageration, intense animation and dramatic music when he's only writing something or just eating a potatochip is pretty darn great
“I’ll take this chip, and EAT IT!!”
👍
