Marvelling at the Animation Poses in FLCL - Yoh Yoshinari Analysis

[@swoozie]

Bro props for making a video about this. For years I’ve thought the poses and camera work in flcl is SOOOOO underrated!

[@MicahBuzanANIMATION]

This is such a fantastic, in-depth analysis. Watching you go over the strength of the poses, fx animation, and camera motions really makes me want to watch FLCL again with a more attentive eye. Amazing stuff.

[@HowardWimshurst]

Thanks Micah!!

[@Shingopop]

Your animation breakdowns and discussion are so fun.Along with your other videos it got me to love animation. at the lowest/loniest part of my life so far I discovered incredible people like you to help me find a passion

[@HowardWimshurst]

yeyy 😇 it's great to hear that you are falling in love with animation like me

[@srcubpro9863]

15:00 "im not going to keep telling you that its a great pose" 15:54 "great pose by the way" great video as always

[@stevewik2280]

In case you are not already aware, there is a book called "Groundwork of FLCL" and it consists of scans of the original hand-drawn pencil keyframes for a bunch of the most classic sequences in FLCL including the one you examine here! Often, they include the timing chart. Luckily I bought my copy back in the day when it first came out. You can still find them, but they are spendy. But SO worth it! There is also a companion volume that is about three inches thick that contains the original scribbly pencil storyboards for entire episodes. I'm not even sure how you'd search for that one as the title is in Japanese. :(

Why did you stop sooo soon! FLCL was the anime that inspired so much of my art making as a child. Really really enjoyed watching this break down in a way that I never slowed down to appreciate. This was fun!

[@HowardWimshurst]

Thanks! Part 2 will be out soon!

[@samsil187]

​@@HowardWimshurst Joy!

[@mechajay3358]

Really you're breaking down this scene. Its one of the highlights of FLCL and one of the more references used in anime.

[@JerichoNarvaja]

These breakdowns are worth watching, keep it up, man!

[@DTBluesreviews]

One thing i love about flcl is how it was pretty much made by gainax's newest talent just handing them the reigns its a spectacular show with amazing animation

[@dylanmcartoonell1536]

There are only two things I can think of that potentially rival FLCL's craziness. Dead Leaves and Mind Game

[@Sir_Zombie1ted]

Dead Leaves is madness and I love it.

[@untonyto]

That whole video was intense Thanks, I am so inspired now.

[@HowardWimshurst]

Will be releasing a part 2 soon!

[@drewwrobel]

FLCL is one of my top anime's of all time !! id love to hear your thoughts on how FLCL uses and really stresses the very idea of it being animated as a medium, with the way it loves to play with different styles and formats of drawing, almost back to back in some cases, just so it can add another layer of environmental storytelling to the story

[@Amelia_PC]

I have no idea why my brain thinks simulating James Baxter's style is infinitely harder than this. I don't know why, but I always perceive animes as being more simplified than the best Western animation-not clunky, just simpler. I was dissecting Jujutsu Kaisen fights frame by frame in DaVinci Resolve, and it wasn't harder to understand the timing than all the swaggering in 101 Dalmatians or Sinbad. Jujutsu Kaisen seemed "more human" and realistic, which I find easier to understand than a stylized movement. I don't know if it's because each person's perception is different, or if all that swagger in characters is harder. Nonetheless, I started studying anime because it clearly did not move so much as top-tier Western animation, and I wanted to save some time in a trailer animation.

[@AlexanderDRamos]

you are the kind of artist i wanna be, i aspire to be like you in my own style💜

[@gmaster4922]

Great breakdown as always

[@krono5el]

truly a pivotal moment in all of anime, they shattered our minds.

[@keyframeclips]

“I’m not going to keep telling you it’s a great pose”, moments later “great pose by the way” lol Fooly Cooly is awesome.

[@HowardWimshurst]

couldn't help myself haha

[@keyframeclips]

@@HowardWimshurst completely understandable

[@Lucario140]

My glorious king Yoh Yoshinari 😭🙏

[@SketchPLAY1]

Yoh Yoshinari one of the best in the buisness

[@ChronoJedi]

THANK YOU THIS IS MY FAVOURITE ANIME EVER!!!!

[@yt_paperHANk]

Original FLCL is still, peak

[@kaisel5975]

Wonderful breakdown as usual, do you think you'll look into some scenes from Gurren Lagann, one of the last works from Gainax before the split off into Trigger and i think it has some of the most phenomenal animation to date despite being well over a decade old. So many greats worked on their old and new, from Hiroyuki Imaishi, Yoh Yoshinari, Sushio, Hisashi Mori, Tadashi Hiramatsu to those who would later go on great things like Chikashi Kubota, and Hironori Tanaka just to name a few.

[@Nkanyiso_K]

The punch from Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann (I feel like it's heavily inspired by this, he did work on the series a bit) I feel like this type of Sakuga animation is 50% of the success of *Space Dandy*

[@ukmonk]

great breakdown thank you! I love watching stuff like this and I always grab cool scenes and analyse them frame by frame. Cant seem to find many videos on what ref a lot of these anime artists use and their workflow. Any good vids out there please?

[@Algezon]

Dandadan reminds me of FLCL. That's a new anime worth watching.

[@vernaute2803]

I've never watched flcl but if it's anything like kill la kill, I think I'd enjoy it if not for the story then the character of the animation.

[@H1dront390]

You are now my make believe teacher..

[@HowardWimshurst]

I'm real! I swear!

[@H1dront390]

@@HowardWimshurst thank btw, you make me a bit comfortable to not be afraid of copying an animation. still struggling on constant procrastination though...

[@salimufari]

Naw.. FLCL is crazy in it's own totally unique right.

[@u1over]

Thank you 🙏 ❤

[@emmarina3525]

As an epileptic I really respect cutting out the strobing parts, they're very hard to find warnings for

[@HowardWimshurst]

They were way too strong to be safe / comfortable for anyone.

[@hypVideo]

You gonna more of these? You could be the new Canipa Effect

[@HowardWimshurst]

Thanks! Canipa is wayy too knowledgeable on Anime so I can't offer what he offers, but I like to think I can bring something to the table with my unique background

[@moisesjuniormj]

awesome

[@gueratom]

I'm sure I can do that.

[@rohannborah9025]

hell yeah

[@zam7148]

Please breakdown one piece fan letter short movie
