Why?
Why do fags run like this?
It does not make you aerodynamic.
It does not improve balance, if anything it worsens balance as your arms are behind you and you're leaning forward.
And they are certainly not moving fast enough that their arms are flailing like ragdolls in the wind.
Who started this?
Why is it continued?

>And they are certainly not moving fast enough that their arms are flailing like ragdolls in the wind.
The audience is supposed to pretend that they believe that this is happening while watching this.
It has probably become an thing with Naruto. I remember a lot of old cartoons of Ninja (video and pic related)... youtube.com
and they all run normally.
Easier to animate.
That too.
No, it didn't start with fucking Naruto; it's been around for years before that.
tHIS STUPID GIRL IS THE WORST OF ALL SEASON
Everytime she speaks makesme want to destroy her.
Naruto does it best
Probably... where you saw it before Naruto?
blame the narutards
cheaper to anime, and that's what matters the most. and weebshit loves it.
Ninja Scroll
Fucking retards. It is aerodynamics.
Because they're fucking gay, jackass.
Wow, seriously?
it's so the lazy animators/tightwad directors don't have to draw proper form with pumping arms and legs
look at how these are always a loop of like 3 fucking frames superimposed on a sliding background
fuck I hate anime
>and that's what matters the most. and weebshit loves it.
Sure do.
Sonic Adventure did it in 1999
Dagger of Kamui Movie from the mid-eighties had it.
Saint Seiya was doing it in 1986, probably the one that "popularized" it, but I wouldn't bet on it.
Scientist actually proved that this running style is better than the regular one, higher speed and less resistence resulting in being overall more efficient.
The reason why you do not see actual people doing it is because it looks retarded.
Basically the same thing why no NBA player does granny style shots despite them being the most superior form of scoring.
>because it looks retarded.
And it's also pretty fucking hard to do without falling face-first.
>Scientist actually proved that this running style is better than the regular one
I want a serious article that explains that.
>Who started this?
Nuruto.
Wrong, if it was for aerodynamics they would have their hands in front of them like a drill. This way the surface area is only on the tip of their hands which cut through the air. When they run like in the OP the surface area is not only on their whole body but on their whole arms as well.
dat chuuny ahahahaha
and the DFC carries a ball, to have some weight on her upper body.
So their fists get the maximum combined velocity when they suddenly swing them forwards to connect with your face.
It IS more aerodynamic, that's one of the reasons why cyclists lean forward for example. But running isn't about being aerodynamic, it's about throwing your limbs forward to produce movement.
The real reasons have already been mentionned. It's easier to animate than actual running and it's supposed to look cool.
That's because you watch anime for little fags
Here, have something manly
youtube.com
I don't get why people say it's a Naruto thing, Sonic the Hedgehog has been doing it since the 90s.
its more easy
I run kinda like that when I have a big backpack on, I'll just grab it behind my back to keep it steady since I don't want it bouncing around, battering my back while the contents swish about and generally fuck up the balance of the thing.
Looks gay as shit
So glad yu yu hakusho didn't do this shit all the time. It tells you which anime to take seriously
Penguins.
If you are actually asking this non-ironically, its because its about fifty times cheaper to animate a static upper body with blurred legs than it is to animate actual running.
Birds have been doing it since forever, and if we're talking human creations, Roadrunner would probably be first.
The number of frames is pretty similar, imo. It's just the uniqueness that's higher. At the lowest end, you draw the arms at maximum swing. 2 frames. This looks like shit unless you have them at top speed though. You'd add one to three tweener frames if you want it to look more "natural". The "wheel foot" is much simpler by virtue of simply having to change where the shoe appears in the wheel.
I thought the reason why it wasn't efficient was because a proper running stance allows for better respiration.
>look at how these are always a loop of like 3 fucking frames superimposed on a sliding background
But that's just like, your opinion man.
That's why cyclists have handlebars behind them so they can stretch their arms behind them while they steer.
OH WAIT
Ignoring the fact that a human cannot run fast enough for aerodynamics to matter at that level, stretching your arms out behind you doesn't change your aerodynamic profile. You'd be better off lowering your head and wearing a pointed dunce cap like the retard you are.
All of these closet Narutofags that actually believe this. It's not like we haven't figured out the optimal human running form over the millenia.
If you seriously think flappy-bird is some secret hidden running form, why don't you participate in the Olympics? I'm sure no one will laugh if you beat their times by a few seconds.
it was already there in the 80's
Don't they use that at the line-crossing part? Just for the "win by a nose" bit though.
