Animator Showcase: Naotoshi Shida 志田 直俊 AMV/MAD

Yes, I've already done a showcase on Shida, but...
Long story short, a couple of weeks ago, my Showcase on Naotoshi Shida was taken down by Toei. I intended to reupload it again, however I thought I might as well remake it. It's roughly the same as the old one, (same song, same cuts) but I polished it a bit and added new scenes. I think it came out much better than the old one.
Anyways, I still hope you enjoy this revised version of my old showcase!

[@bosstian9367]

@@deathmarch2312 Nakamura's animations is about sfx, slow paced fights, and some hand to hand combats, while Naotoshi has more impact fast-paced (with slow too) and more explosive that has similarities to Nakamura, A really True Legend in all animators

[@butchdeadlift10]

Took me forever to articulate how Shida animates: He inbetweens montage editing. NOW, you MIGHT know Montage by reputation (fellow commenters) as a series of film clips cut together to juxtapose each other and create meaning. Some of you MAY KNOW how animation works with key poses drawn on extremes and the inbetween animation that brings the animation to life through supporting drawings. BUT NORMALLY, in animation you got one camera angle or one planned moving camera angle the animator works the character within. In an attempt to simulate film and editing, if the animator needs a new camera angle, he will cut to a different angle. BUT SHIDA, instead of having the cut occur, he in-betweens the transitions. The camera is thrown a billion miles an hour and space is bent and broken, but it gives the action in a scene a nice............ ebb and flow of crashing waves aesthetic. BUT this technique has its limits. Especially if we look at the Sailor Moon opening. IT LOOKS GREAT when the sailor scouts are making explosions. Hit does not look great when Usagi and Mamoru are romantically in a paint mixer. Because he is inteweening the montage transitions, what would be a normal close up to one lover and then another comes off as............well...............not romantic to say the least.

[@BroadcastingCN]

Basically he like fluid and pause moment

[@VincentValentin12345]

I don’t even know his name, even so, seeing the first seconds of this video I could identify without fail some scenes he worked on haha, he’s got a very recognisable style! Love it, and I love your channel! Very informative and good choice of music :)

[@joshieee2302]

Nakamura is still the best

[@KyungNim]

@@joshieee2302 nah Nakamura always does the same simple style. Guys like Naotoshi, Amai, and Sung Hoo Park who can consistently change their style and keep the quality are the best but Nakamura nope. There are others obviously but Nakamura ain't one of them. Keep in mind he's still great but better than the rest definitely not.

[@juanmjx]

Easily the most recognizable. Can recognize him on the first frames of action. Like damn!

@@rhoaias9429 he's always lacking. He always does the same ice skater movements and his artstyle and effects are always the same.

[@KyungNim]

@@rhoaias9429 he's honestly probably done which is why he's part of Bones new animation training team. He's probably going to pass on what he knows and then take a step back as a action director or supervisor.

[@celldh0825]

5:17 is it just me or is this just the perfect scene for this part of the song. It’s so…triumphant and joyous, plus the lyric about “Freedom becomes Thousands of flames” is pretty literal: the freedom from Seastone chains became thousands of Flames from Ace’s Logia powers.

[@endexnaenae]

I wouldn't mind seeing him pop up in One Piece more, but right now we've got a very fair amount of fantastic animators working on the show. As for Shida, he's been doing quite a bit of key animation for the new Dragon Quest reboot, so that's pretty neat.

Good job with your videos, it’s a pity that a few anime fans actually care about knowing the animators, despite many love good animation. Anyways will you also move to other anime studios?

I've got plans to cover many different animators, ranging from different studios and some freelancers. It's just coincidentally most of my favorite animators come from Toei. But don't worry, I know there are a lot of very talented animators that aren't just from Toei, so they'll come very very soon.

Hot take: I really don't like Shida's signature parts in OP. The way everyone is wobbly to me makes it hard to believe the impacts are hard hitting. You'd think that wouldn't be a problem for a character literally made of rubber, but it's just off putting to me and kind of grotesque when the camera pans close to a character and gets all distorted.

#ToeiAnimation

[@spagetti9271]

can I be honest, I kind of hate how he animates. like none of it is fluid. it holds on a frame, quickly goes forward with motion, but none of the motion has its own speed it’s all just one consistent speed. and then it holds on another frame. it just looks so weird and off. and it always has a fisheye lense for some reason like yeah I get it you like fish eye lenses but come on mix it up a little bit

[@spagetti9271]

like the art is pretty, but the movement and the animation itself just does not look good at all.

[@lazarperic4525]

Glad that there are still people with functional eyes fr: - those unnecessary x10 speed smoke/fire/... animations on repeat - ugly and WRONG proportions of characters - every time ground breaks it turns into thousands of fekin similar cube like shapes - hella weird angles, he'd like go fast with camera over characters deformed body when they are in attacking motion - that "fisheye lense" you mentioned...
