高橋優也 (Yuya Takahashi) MAD

[@MazingerDestro]

An unbelievable battle animator. Now I understand why people call him mini-Shida. His effects are amazing. Also he basically delivered around 90% of fairy tail season 2's best sakuga

[@Kguy3028]

100th like hahaha

[@BroadcastingCN]

Now he's just a damn speed demon that can draw fast as hell with extreme shading

[@soloflare9696]

Even as a kid, I could sense his cuts from Fairy Tail were the most memorable visuals in the 2014 series. It's pretty nostalgia looking back as his work now.

[@DeanAmx]

And he returned to DBS, making a real phenomenal.

[@ZayOsirisGaming]

What I love about yuya Takahashi is his ability’s to produce solid & consistent animations. What he lacks in scene expressions, he compensates with fluidity. I see why people call him a mini shida. What makes them both different (in my opinion) is how well shida animated Loop Segments. Like Jesus Christ he’s perfected his ability. Shading seems to be another very strong attribute of his, which is greatly appreciated. Overall, I think both artist are highly respected. They’re both an amazing compliment to each other’s styles.

[@rocketsniper8726]

Shida's animation + Takahashi's art? I can't describe how amazing that would be. But that would take way too long to make

Yuya Takahashi just got better, watching his new clips it´s like if he was another animator, he´s so great.

[@HolyCrepe]

he really likes to make characters spin

[@jehurevo25]

He really does.

[@shadsplaytime875]

He became my favorite after seeing his work in broly movie and stampede.

[@SimpleSpectator]

He’s like Naotoshi but his animation has a little more weight to it. The perfect combo imo.

[@Nobody-ie6pn]

I watch both Dragonball and Fairy Tail.. this guy is amazing..

[@E-delweiss]

He did a better job than shida on dbs 110

[@SakugaDaichi]

He also did a lot less work on the episode than Shida so that may have contributed in his short polished scenes looking better. With all the Shida stuff that dropped around the same time recently too i wouldn't be surprised if Shida was just spread a bit thin.

[@xnlyxn9862]

Sakuga Daichi late ass reply but that animation was very limited. Most probably due to time constraints. It was mainly still images. Which lasted like what, a minute? He probably didn't have enough time to make more movement within his scene

[@Icegrenades]

@@xnlyxn9862 Tate was the star od that EP

Stop Calling him mini Shida please He or better then Shida in terms of charecter art in dbz

[@SakugaDaichi]

He's not called Mini Shida because of his character art my friend. He's also more that just a Dragonball animator so i don't see the logic in stopping because of a reason that wasn't a factor in him being nicknamed that.

[@davidedos9031]

He’s not better than Shida in any way tho.

[@treywickesser5821]

while I do love fairy tail once 2014 stated the animation took a complete dive for the new art style. I saw a comment sat this and it is completely true that yuya did practically all of the good animation out of 2014

[@CloverDragon03]

We'll see what happens when Season 3 comes around

[@zangetsu111]

By far my favourite animator

[@niggarot9027]

Does anyone know that Yuya is actually nicknamed "Mini-Shida"?

[@FelixMulenga]

Mr-Buenfang I'm aware yeah. When we first became aware of him while Fairy Tail (2014) was airing we came to call him that after we were impressed with his work and the evident Shida influence. He's not the only animator that's been labeled that though, iirc folks used to call Yuichi Hamano that too but Hamano's not as big a name as he once was so the new name took over that mantle. It's been interesting to watch his development to say the least. I may need to do a new MAD because his more recent work has been a step above his work in this one. He just gets better and better.

[@babsanimations4994]

The beginning was lit.

[@pixelatedpower3338]

Too bad he's only a freelancer animator guy I hope he works for Toei in the future or maybe right now because his art style is like the DBZ style SS forms have bigger and flowier hair unlike now SS forms have small and lego for hair...

[@xnlyxn9862]

Pixelated Power Late but Although i know that yuya likes the new designs for the new movie, i wonder if he will take part and should he do so, how will his scenes look. Fluid or what dbs has (detailed character designs which will make the animation suffer)

[@dontbother9473]

Pixelated Power Toei is the worst anime studio, hell no.

[@luisavalos4415]

Don't Bother We’ll he’s an Animation Supervisor for the upcoming Broly movie so he’s probably treated well.

[@dontbother9473]

Luis Avalos Doesn’t change the fact that Toei animation is the worst studio ever. Have you watched dragon ball super? The only reason why 95% of the show was pure garbage was because of Toei’s retarded schedule.

[@luisavalos4415]

Don't Bother Now imagine Super with proper pre-production.

[@mechajay3358]

Fairy Tail's story maybe shit, but man, His animations make me forget all about that

[@TheJaredPunch]

Πάρις Παπαδόπουλος 😐

[@Omnipotentmonkey]

Yeah, don't get used to it, Yuya's great work accounts for like 50% of the sakuga scenes in the entire show. I mean christ, check SakugaBooru, there's like 6 pages of Fairy Tail from 277 episodes of anime. for point of reference, Legend of Korra an (american-written, korean animated show that ran for 52 episodes) has 7 full pages. My Hero Academia, which just hit episode 55 has 12 pages. Fullmetal Alchemist (both series combined) has 115 episodes with 16 pages of sakuga. Fairy Tail half-asses it's animation even by long-running shonen standards.

[@superpipi1342]

Many people like to speak of Takahashi as the second coming of god, but for me he's just really good. While an unbelievable action animator, others like Ryo Onishi, Tate, Nakamura, Watanabe, Matsuda, Shida and many more are -in my opinion- better than him. However, I do have to say that his work on DBS is outstanding and a great homage to 90's Dragon Ball (particularly Yamamuro, Shimanuki, Hisada and a few others). Also, his supervison on the Broly movie was REALLY heavy and overall postive (outside of a few minor details), so I would like to see him going foward into the future.

[@stalyn315]

Hola Lutz (⁠•⁠‿⁠•⁠)

[@GoldenFreddy-py7kz]

2:21 That isn't Shida?...

[@xaviermartinez4872]

It's Takahashi. You notice how much he likes to make his characters spin and flip around. Yeah no that's Takahashi as hell. And also how while both animation and art styles are highly stylised and detailed, shida is more fluid and has more dynamic expressive movement (if you don't count the flips and spins of Takahashi) and Takahashi more so is bigger and bolder especially in the line work and has an animation style of a sort of snappy rhythm. But don't feel bad about it. And sorry if I come off as a know it all asshole. It's an honest mistake and their art and animation styles are very similar. There's a reason why Yuya Takahashi is known as Mini Shida. Honestly even I an animation nerd and a person who adores Takahashi and shidas work I sometimes have to do a double take when checking who does what.

[@datboidre477]

Naw you can tell it’s shida with them exaggerated limbs

[@zulusulu4956]

He is good

[@markgaming7668]

i can't decide that who is better animator..... Naotoshi Shida or Yuya Takahashi? damn, my head hurts to decide

[@kermitwithamustache3885]

Kyo Kusanagi WOJ Takahashi has much better art, and hes a lot more faster than Shida. Shida may be amazing,but hes slow.

[@amirkenan1]

Takahashi has better art? Lmao

[@luminousepoque8666]

Takahashi doesn't have an artstyle of his own and this is easy to spot, since he struggled in DBS 114 and 122 to provide consistency despite being AS in both episodes (though only the second halves). Shida had *decades* to develope a style of his own and it's easily recognizable because of his exquisite shading and major approach on characters' detail (good lord, his hands are gorgeous). People just like to say that Takahashi is better because he mimics late DBZ's artstyles, but that's it. If anything, I'd say that Takahashi's combat animation, despite being incredibly fast paced, it doesn't lose impact like Shida's does, and that's what I like about him.

[@amirkenan1]

@@luminousepoque8666 Takahashi struggled to supervise 122 and 114? What are you talking about? His parts were consistent and great looking. Like you said, he didn't supervise the entire episodes.

[@luminousepoque8666]

Having a bunch of artstyles from Z isn't within my definition of "consistency". Though I do like his art (who doesn't?), he's leagues below Shida yet. What's worse, his corrections are as invasive as Yamamuro's, which is easier to spot in 114.

ZERO CASH cap

[@xaviermartinez4872]

I agree I feel like Takahashi's art is better then shidas, but I feel like shidas animation just beats out takahashi's own animation. Because Shida is very stylized and detailed and expressive. You notice this if your a fan of dragon Ball or any of the precure series. While Takahashi does have some of the best rotations, flips and spins I've seen ever. Unless you count animation God Arifumi Imai (he was in charge of many gorgeous cuts of animation from attack on Titan and one punch man. Particularly Levi vs Zeke and Saitama vs Genos.)
