What happens when you don’t spend the budget on flashbacks and recaps

[@otzmang]

@@GradietPanda12345 they need recaps and flashbacks to produce such scenes, because they offer the animators more time to work on their scenes, time is the key here not budget. So be a little more considerate since recaps are essential for along running show looking this good.

2023, is really about to be One Piece's year, every single week there seems to be a animation sequence that surpasses movie quality and goes viral on social media. To do this on a seasonal anime would be one thing, but for a WEEKLY series to be doing this is something else... ONE PIECE IS PEAK FICTION!!! 🐐 🐐 🐐

[@Ruldolphmaker]

@@cantouchdis6980 Sorry to burst your bubble, but those words "Sakuga" and "Key animation" Aren't really special words. They're animation jargon. Every scene in One Piece has "Sakuga." The west has given it this strange secondary meaning to only talk about animation that stands out, but it literally just means "Drawings." Same with Key animation. Key animation is just the drawings (Key Frames) that sculpt the overall movement of a shot. versus Inbetweens which are drawings added between the keys that fill in the movement to make it more smooth. You don't generally get smooth movement without inbetweens so Gotta show love to the unnamed inbetween artists too.

[@MrAsh1989]

The fck are you talking about? They keep repeating the exact same animation scene between Gogeta and Broly, only with One Piece characters superimposed over the DBZ characters instead. They've just reused the same scene about 8 times in a row. I knew exactly what was about to happen before I even watched the clip. Oh and spoiler alert, I know exactly what's gonna happen in the next fight they animate (exactly the same as this) Just two people flying at each other, across a void of broken square rocks, whilst screaming at the top of their voices, winding up the exact same pointless attacks, only to clash into an explosion of rainbow colours.
