Sakuga OVERKILL! | Animation Analysis: Stark vs Dragon

[@yen_bm]

Appreciate it! Keep up the great Videos! You are educating the people greatly and go nicely into detail frame by frame! I personally feel very out of place between those great veteran animators, but i am very happy mr iwazawa trusted and included me on this episode. Thank you for watching and i hope you keep on enjoying what everyone will create in the future !

[@-MankoMan]

I understand why you'd feel out of place between these legendary names, but to me and most of us who've followed your work for years, you already fit seamlessly among the best in the industry. Very much excited to see more amazing sakuga, and thanks for the kind words about my content! It means a whole lot to me.

[@ImpartialState]

Crazy thing is that yens animation is some of my favourite in any shows he works on.(especially on frieren)

[@mookiestewart3776]

Bro this shit was the first BIG example of sakuga in this show and it didn’t disappoint , fucking amazing job 🙏

[@markomaksimovic7678]

Can we just appreciate how good it feels to see a dragon animated in 2d. First One Piece, then Mushoku Tensei and now Frieren. It has to be an absolute pain to draw with all that detail but man, it just hits different. I've grown so used to big CGI monsters in modern anime over the years that now I feel spoiled.

[@-MankoMan]

It's just the direction the industry is going in due to time constraints being worse. Monsters are affected by this, but the designs affected the most are those of mechs and any machinery in general. Though there are still outliers such as this scene and Kaiju no. 8 coming next year that also looks like it's going to have 2D monsters.

[@markomaksimovic7678]

@@-MankoMan Yeah, I would agree that across the majority of anime nowadays vehicles and machinery are probably affected the most. Kaiju no. 8 looks insane though. I can't wait for it to drop.

[@SenseofNoneYT]

"Why does Yutaka Nakamura only draw cubes? It's unrealistic. It looks lazy too." Yutapon: "Watch me animate these rocky cliffs. Oh, and dragon scales and a beard for some reason." Jokes aside, this is easily the best looking anime this season for me. I love that it looks like they go out of their way to keep everything 2D as much as they can. Moving backgrounds, monsters, armored soldiers, moving crowds. Brings a smile to my face every time I spot those cuts where other production teams would have taken shortcuts, and instead this team went above and beyond. I truly wish this and like, Tengoku Daimakyo's animation was the anime industry standard. But I guess we can appreciate it more exactly because we get it so rarely.

[@marcos-ll2yr]

This episode was indeed a event. Im very curious for how long this production is gonna surprise us. 28 episodes until march 2024 is a lot

Was super happy to discover you’d made a new video! And it was fantastic! Thank you for all your hard work. It is absolutely appreciated!

[@lebyandsmartiel318]

Can’t wait for more breakdowns of Frieren, I can already tell you they’ve got more in store if an introductory fight got this much love.

[@avganimeenjoyer1118]

wow dude , ur breakdowns and just overall knowledge is really great. No wonder it must take lot of time to put in these videos together with this quality. Keep it up mate !

[@Oveyz]

Damn pal! I don't know if you put yourself out there or someone else did, but I found your video scrolling on reddit. Very happy I clicked on it! You seem to be extremely knowledgeable. Even though I know a little bit about animation, I still felt like I was getting a TED talk there. Instant subscribe!

[@-MankoMan]

Reddit? I'm active there but never upload lol. Please send me the link of whatever it was that took you here; I'm curious.

[@kenmaru777]

Don't worry about story, this manga won in japan manga awards with No1 place and outplaced a fckng Chainsawman which wons western Harley awards for the 3rd year straight

[@janhoden-oo4ys]

The undead unluck anime just came out and has so good animation don’t know how David production pulled this off

[@goat_sama8239]

Yuki Yase fire force team is working on it, not to mention they had enough time (good production) and the MACHINE: Kazuhiro Miwa.

[@userytx]

Simply the top of the top animators. It's funny that in 2022, there was this discussion about Chainsaw Man vs. Bocchi the Rock. Now it's 2023, and we have the director of Bocchi the Rock (Keiichirou Saitou) working with the action director of Chainsaw Man (Tatsuya Yoshihara), the Bocchi the Rock's chief animation director (Kerorira) and assistant director (Yuusuke Yamamoto), the Chainsaw Man's Opening director (Shingo Yamashita), another two episode directors of Chainsaw Man (Shun Enokido and Hironori Tanaka/TNK), and key animators from Chainsaw Man (Takahito Sakazume, K1ro/Keiichiro Watanabe, Yen_BM/Chris, Kouki Fujimoto, Ayaka Tsuji and Toru Iwazawa who's the action director of Frieren) and Bocchi the Rock (Toshiyuki Satou). And I could go on.

[@-MankoMan]

Proper planning with enough connections will always unite the industry. Even mob psycho 3, produced at the busiest period in the industry succeeded in dishing out quality content because of how well planned it was.

[@sonicsenryaku6205]

[@Arsalan_82]

Not to put pressure on you but out of all the very well animated stuff that’s coming out (JJK - Frieren - Castlevania - Undead Unluck - Pluto - …) which ones do you think you’ll have time to make videos about?

[@-MankoMan]

Max priority will be JJK and at least one video on Pluto. Other videos when time permits.

[@Arsalan_82]

Thanks. Love the vids

[@tearlach47]

"Because Keiichiro Watanabe animating a red-colored dragon with Shingo Yamashita on the compositing has happened before" Interesting.

[@zerokld]

Ty for making these vids broh

[@nathanaelhavlik4293]

When I saw the individual fingers moving during Stark grabbing the dragon, I knew we were in for a ride with Frieren.

[@aahishpal631]

My favorite scene from the entire episode was toshiyuki sato's character acting. That scene automatically puts a smile on my face no matter how many times I see it 😌😌😌

[@poweroflk103]

Another great video as usual Manko Looking forward to next one. As a shingoyama fanboy Its just so good to see him doing more key animation again... and the comp is just 🤌

[@sairenalter]

19:57 Facecam is animated in 3s right? Lol

[@-MankoMan]

LOL. In my recent videos I'm reducing my laptop's fan noise by limiting it to 50% speed. Gotta find the sweet spot such that the face cam is not that laggy but the audio isn't ruined either.

[@JacoB-wp4ws]

one piece and frieren deserve award of best animation of 2023, especially one piece since nagamine team was spawning one piece episodes from january to current, they almost all been very high quality animation and art, especially wano climax starting with op 1061

Yeah, it feels like the sports community just spreading their competition behavior; and now dick measuring on which is the best animation/animator. It makes me think that fairy tail was not a mistake after all, we need the power of friendship since this community is filled with nonesense arguement.

Hi, once you said "I will definitely make a whole video on Shingo Yamashita's opening" (I just wanted to remind you if you don't have idea for new video or if you decide it's right time to finally do this video)

[@Sinister707]

This is really an off-topic question but i want to ask u that if an anime is getting hated regularly (not on its animation but due to the content or just the excessive popularity of the anime which makes ppl jealous) does this create the difference in how that anime is going to be treated by the studios/production committee?? For example - demon slayer is constantly getting hated on the internet so does that create the difference in how it will be treated by the studio (or maybe it will make production committee somewhat hesitant in providing resources for the anime adaptation) or does the studio will be like fakk it we don't care if its getting hated it is the profit making machine for us and also in demon slayer's case it is ufotable's passion project. Its really interesting to think about how the opinions of fans on the internet can create really big differences as anime is becoming more and more MAINSTREAM

[@markomaksimovic7678]

From what I understand they mostly focus on the Japanese reception. Look at chainsaw man for example. The western audience love it while the Japanese crap on it and Mappa is therefore (rumored to be) replacing Ryu Nakayama as the director for season 2. To be fair it's very rare for something like that to happen.

[@kenmaru777]

In the interview with Hayashi ( director of AoT) the staff said: what? "We are popular in west? Oh thank you for watching our show. Please wait for the continuation " They don't give a shit Rent a gf, tokyo revengers and other bullshit has tons of series A fckng Berserk 2016 has a SECOND SEASON ( must be a part of 1st contract for 4 million $)
