Akihiro Ota's Silky Smooth and Shocking Sakuga!! | Animator Archive

From a standout animator on World Trigger to a superstar on One Piece, Ota specializes in displaying high octane energy and explosive movement through the use of sketchy, varied linework along with a masterful way of manipulating framerates! In his first credit, Mr. Ota 's earliest is surprisingly listed as a 3D animator on Aquarion (2005) at Satelight Inc. with his time at Toei starting only a few years later in the late 2000's! He later went on to take on authoritative roles on a number of specials as an animation director and supervisor and continues to impress fans and industry professionals alike to this day with his stellar work! Behold the spectacle!!
(Note: I unfortunately had to chop up his cut on the latest One Piece episode in order to avoid copyright, but it's a miracle I was able to get it on here in the first place! Hope you enjoy! :] )
