[@corichuma2310]

Hobbes Sakuga what’s the name of all the anime series ?

[@gawys28]

One of the best comments I've seen on youtube

[@Cardinalbins]

8:14 was the best, imo. Very long and the character did some cool moves. But they're all great of course. 8:14 is not the best with a big lead.. But it's close.

[@badbunnyky]

surprised there wasnt a bit of PASWG, their scenes are short but so good

[@conekeiba]

Tellme firstsong name…！

[@smugsaber3063]

Yo deadass, I know girls are usually the ones that have the powers but damn the guy at 0:26's transformation is sick. Wish I could do that even.

[@haumanyespersen957]

i'm surprised we didn't get a panty-shot on him

[@johnpanicker7590]

He's from the anime Star Driver

[@tcironbear21]

Jesus, the girl at 8:15 has the most elaborate transformation I have ever seen. First she summons a pokemon. Then she hugs it to get it ready for the next part. Then she shakes it until it energy barfs up a coin. Then she uses the coin to use a coin-op spray can. Then she sprays on every part of her outfit. Then sprays on hair coloring. And finally she summons a travel bag from hammerspace to store her coin-op spray can. Magic girl transformations should not require a degree in engineering to use.

[@edwfelt7490]

It's like an advertisement for a perfume, and I legit feel like buying one

[@misterjei]

@@edwfelt7490 Don't give the ad creators ideas. (Imaging a Chanel No 5 (Magical Girl) Anime, as I write this.)

[@daisycinnimon]

cure sunshine herself is badass

[@tcironbear21]

@Chill Out I have seen long ones, but this one requires the most active participation I have ever seen by far. In most of them just passively posing and the magic doing all the decision making. Like what would happen if this girl sprayed her costume on in the wrong order or location? She does one step wrong or out of order and her panties could materialize in arround her throat and she chokes to death. What would happen if she dropped the coin or hamster? Does the pokemon explode if he doesn't barf up the light before it turns into a coin in time? This process requires far more user participation than any magic girl transformation out there.

[@thegk-verse4216]

@@tcironbear21 I don't think there is a wrong order or place to spray, you can see that there is no special moves for different body parts or things. It just does.

[@HellishSpoon]

My favorite transformation is when a villain has their own evil version of the transformation, and they always go hard

[@TheJanny]

As an aspiring animator this channel has introduced me to so many animators and ways things can be animated. I just want you to know that this channel is very important to me and I look forward to every upload you make.

It‘s really nice to see how creative the animators get at using different visual elements and effects to direct and guide the viewer‘s gaze during the transformation scenes to create/highlight aspects of symbolic and/or artistic significance

[@JAMurida1]

5:20-5:36 is not only looks amazing but matches the music so well.

[@Sleeepy.]

I'm gonna start watching this show from that 15 seconds alone.

[@kyokurasakura5193]

Its madoka magica best magical show ever and super what u would not expect

[@mouthwashjones6400]

I've fallen into your channel and content. It makes me appreciate the animation and sequences of what goes into these scenes. From the theatrical and high energy fights and transformation, to the mundane of walking and running animations. I never appreciate these when watching these films/shows, but when im here, i learn to love them so much more.

[@PretenderAval]

0:29 the way he poses and flicks his arms just = perfect

[@johnboy9596]

If you watch her face it shows her entire character arc. First asleep to the implications of her wish, then awake to her reality, then resolute to her duty, then resigned to her fate. Truly brilliant.

[@ineed2beabetter326]

I don't know what it is about magical transformations that get me so fucking pumped?!?!? This was so good!

[@dontbothertoreply9755]

Flip flappers is the most beautiful one. Heartcatch preCure is amazing as well the details are fantastic and everywhere, Rayeheart my fav along with the lady with the chakus also Borgman what a badass design.

[@0doublezero0]

7:01 The double shoe tap matching the beat was slick.

[@TheAnimatedGamer]

Smart music choices. Nice jumpcut transitions as well

[@HobbesSakuga]

Thanks man

[@yj2258]

3:55 Amazing and cute!! All the animation is awesome!!

[@yungcreate7555]

I swear Natoshi Shida FLEXES so hard with his animations for Precure lol

[@deathglock496]

He flexes hard on transformations in general.

[@ThatGuyErazo]

Naotoshi Shida's style is just so easy to notice at this point that I knew which of these different transformations were done by him without having to look.

[@motherlove8366]

Them Doki Doki Precure, Heartcatch Precure and Towa no Quon clips were insane. Vividred Operation was looking super clean too, might have to check this one out.

[@laboon4679]

Though I wish that it lasted longer the fight in the last episode of towa no quon was so fucking amazing ! I wish there were more seasons to though sadly the creator passed so hoping there'll be another another season is like hoping the entire fist of the north star (franchise?) will get dubbed it's just not gonna happen

[@bigjrebel]

[@Danin8686]

8:50 the sync of the "magical" audio with the power up of the character is just perfect

wow vividred's transformations are great when you cut out the fanservice shots.

Damn you can just tell what's made by Naotoshi Shida just by his signature timing!

[@macaroll]

ikr! especially when it comes to Sailor Moon, Pretty Cure, and Dragonball.

[@t-sch.3597]

his timing is so uniqeu

[@anlexaify]

Also his effects, they always have these weird but cool shapes that flow like water.

[@gian.4388]

@@anlexaify They're called Kanada effects/Kanada shapes Yoshinori Kanada was one of, if not THE most influential animator in the anime industry to date (who sadly passed away heart attack in 2009, at the age of 57) He was the one who made it possible for japanese animators to develop and show off their own particular and unique style in their animations Many animators from the 70s, 80s and 90s followed his way of animating effects, with unique and fun shapes and colors, but each of them developed their unique take on them (for example Shida developing them in a way which makes them look like some kind of fluid, like you yourself noted) Off the top of my head (and it's 1AM rn) Masami Obari, Koji Morimoto, Yoh Yoshinari, Hiroyuki Imaishi, Jun Arai, Yoshimichi Kameda and Naotoshi Shida are only some of them Sadly the "Kanada school" has seen a decrease in popularity since the late 90s and in the 2000s but there's always new animators incorporating Kanada's techniques in one way or another (And this is just a snippet of what's the HUGE contribution of Yoshinori Kanada to the anime industry, sadly he's very underrated and not really well known overall)

[@kylecrown95]

4:22 is my favorite one (just the blue girl). Simple but elegant I think for Utena the elevator sequence (3rd arc scene before duels) would have fit better

[@joshuadagale5921]
