What are some anime scenes that your were really impressed by on a technical level?
Must be 100% drawn, not cgi models.
1) Aku no Hana
2) Knights of Sidonia
3) Jackie Chan Adventures
>>140513084
What anime is this ?
I bet 90% of good sakuga stuff is really drawn on top of CG

I'm a big fan of super speed when it's done right.

>>140513326
Had to dig around for a bit, but from the looks of it the gif's from a movie titled Dark Cat.
>>140513326
Google it.
>>140513689
Man, that was painfully average.
>>140513677
When DBZ got it right, it got it right.
>>140513882
not only that but this doesn't even look very time consuming or challenging to do
>>140513677
>>140513882
Those super speed fights in the Cell Games were fucking great. One of the few times where the viewer gets to see a DBZ fight from the perspective of a normalfag. Everyone seems to forget how fast DBZ fights really are. Freeza's 5 minute estimate wasn't wrong, the fight was just slowed down so the audience could follow. For example:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iQ2p5K9X304
>it is my personal headcanon that DBZ characters are capable of talking as fast as they fight
>>140513677
>when it's done right.
But what counts as doing it right?
Most of the common tropes are complete nonsense.
>running around at high-speed and slowing down for the punches
Nobody needs to point out why this is retarded. Even if it weren't stupid to try and connect a low-speed attack with a high-speed opponent (it's possible), a fighter who can run at speeds where they become invisible to the eye, wouldn't even feel a punch at subsonic speed.
>getting low and delivering an attack to the opponents feet
Acceptable when the characters are actually capable of flight. Otherwise it's fucking dumb.
>2 dimensional movement
Possible when the characters are capable of flight. But stupid either way.
>barely any effect to their high speed movements
Where is the shock waves and the unavoidable heat development?
>"the fast guy" is not strong
E = ½ m * v²
So, what counts as doing it right?
>>140514423
>>it is my personal headcanon that DBZ characters are capable of talking as fast as they fight
That would make Goku a fast thinker. Not that there's anything wrong with that.
Pretty much every time the backgrounds are animated, directors rarely bother with that shit unless they know they can do it well.
I'm mostly impressed by the verisimilitude of the battle scenes in this movie.
>>140514542
Which movie is that?
>>140513084
I don't have the webms, but the fight between Isamu and Gould at the end of Macross Plus is amazing.

You shouldn't spoonfeed before people even try to figure it out for themselves.
>>140513436
This is called rotoscopy
>>140514994
Thank you.
>Must be 100% drawn
Does Redline count?
There are very few drawn anime that I know of where I was really impressed with the technical skills of the artists. Usually because if the skills of the artists are any good you completely forget about the technical level at all and you get completely immersed within the anime world.
>>140513084
Battle Royal High School had some wonderful animation.
>>140515908
And another.
>>140515026
It's too late, retards spoonfeeding retards is widely accepted now.
>>140516248
>now
Now is not the same as tomorrow.
/a/ is in constant flux. Not doing anything to improve it because you don't like it seems like exactly the opposite of a logical response.
>>140515111
is it though? I'm not talking about literally tracing over but like what they did for in the first minute in this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x_ilUoReLNc
>>140515908
>>140515955
wow thats some impressive shit
>>140514423
Speaking bits should have been left normal, the rest sped up.
It's not like they're using their Ki to speak super fast or something.
>>140514542
Yeah. Drawn is always better than cgi. Looks more gritty, realistic, and more impressive skill wise.
>>140519696
True, though I suspect all the talking would have more than taken 5 minutes on its own even if the fighting was cut out entirely.
>>140516248
No it isn't. Spoonfeeding should be banned on sight.

Macross DYRL comes to mind.
>>140513677
>>140513882
This isn't really that technically impressive, though.
>>140519770
From a illustrator point of view, I have to disagree when someone says; "Method x is better than method y" when it comes to art.
It shouldn't matter what tools or methods you use, what matters is the execution and the end result.
Yes a lot of cell shaded animation looks good, but that's because it's had 60+ years to develop.
CG and flash are still very new tools introduced to animation, give it some time to improve.
>>140526249
There's an air of quality that comes from the sheer effort that goes into traditional animation. Quite literally, you value it higher because it took more to make.

>>140526437
You don't see an air of quality when watching a big budget CGI movie ?
>>140526897
not much really
I knew about Daicon, I had just never seen it
>>140527009
Not in the same magnitude. I have never really been "blown away" by a computer animated film.
>>140525923
It is, in a way.
Good animation isn't only about creating painstakingly accurate movement, it's also about figuring how to make something look good without putting in the huge work.
>>140521309
I still fucking love how you can see parts of the animation in other gainax shit
I really should go watch Metropolis.
besides the dbz stuff alot of this is just gratutious amounts of frames, which has it's place, but really is just a matter of having enough time or not, not technical or directional ability.
For a show that might not even sell over 2k BDs this was really nice.
>>140527073
This.
I rewatched Toy Story recently and that did some of that but it was because I was thinking "man they managed this over two decades ago".
Big CGI films, such as Pixar's, just don't have to me the same effect of a stylish traditional or stop-motion animation.
They may be good films otherwise but the animation doesn't evoke anything special.
When you look at traditional animation you know that someone actually drew those frames or someone took hours and hours of work to make that background.
Of course CGI requires artistry as well but to me it feels distant and sterile.
But I'm just a consumer that grew up without watching too much of CGI. Perhaps that influences my view of animation as a whole.

When it feels right. This is the answer to any "how do you know when animation is good" question The answer is it feels right.

He's an impressive animator but i don't think he really shines unless he's working on his own designs. His scene in dead leaves maybe being the exception.

i usually hate cg but the little bit that was in code geass was pretty kick ass
>>140528137
I think it all comes down to the process. It is hard to track down who are the individuals who make the scene of a CGI movie. In standard animation like Stopmotion and Drawn it is far easier to know who made each of the cuts. Where as CGI works in the Disney school of thought. In which a set amount of animators make a single scene. Which means unlike anime. They have 10 people touching up a scene instead of 1 single guy. Me and my brother did a marathon last year in which we watched all of disney's biggest films from the first (Snow White) to the end of the 90's (Tarzan). In which me and my brother understood why Disney changed dramatically compared to their earlier days. I mean a lot of the scenes in Snow White, Pinocchio, and Fantasia are far superior in animation quality compared to the 90's stuff that it was really odd that it went in a decline that way. Although the storytelling/acting in the 90's movies were much better and top notch comparatively to Walt's era.

CGI has a sterile feel to it. Why do you wonder why Video Games are becoming less and less about high fidelity and more about artstyles? I mean the most impressive looking games are ones with vibrant and unique artstyles. Look at Deus Ex or Overwatch. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uvSs5b6y-YM
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZyBUMabtslI
Also impressive animation for CGI has an issue with it being compared to film. It just looks so natural nowadays. I mean if you knew that most of Mad Max: Fury Road was filmed in Cgi. It is impressive.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bL6hp8BKB24
I would say that the best CGI are the ones that are intentionally invisible to most people.
>>140536052
YOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOIt's probably not good that I knew what that was just from the thumb
