Because most of the time there isn't that much body language in anime.

Because no real human being fidgets this goddamn much under any normal circumstances
>but appealing to people who know the craft?
Because it's more interesting than a scene consisting of nothing but single images for 20 seconds where the only thing animated is a mouth flap.
Blake Smith
Because Shinbo is a master craftsman.
Joseph Perez
Im not sure where im supposed to focus on and I dont perceive that as normal human bodylanguage.
Nicholas Richardson
There is such thing as too much movement.
Especially in animation.
It might be good in terms of craft and technicality, but that does not necessarily make it good in other regards.
Parker Evans
Exactly.
It isn't often a problem in animation since in order to cut costs, movement (if there is any) is kept minimal outside of the focus of the shot.
In film however it is a constant issue, you do not want a frame to be too busy otherwise there will be no focus for the viewer who will lose concentration and "check out" of the scene.
So basically, this is technical wankery for its own sake with shitty direction.
Sure you can compliment the animation all you want but it does not serve any purpose here other than being animated with precision to the detriment of everything else because the animator was in charge.

Alexander Green
I don't know what this is, but it looks pretty
Jaxon Wood
That scene was animated by Yoshinari, Shinbo just did the direction for the first season.
Uncanny to a layman because people are used to anime being produced as cheap as possible and with like only one character in a frame making movement at a time. Appealing to people who know the craft because they know what a pain in the ass it is to draw so many frames with so many different movement points sequentially across them.

It looks like trash but it's an interesting case study.
Lincoln Bennett
literally fucking forced animation
Wyatt Long
>shitty CG vid unrelated.
Samuel Collins
So in S1, they had a budget surplus because of their sponsorship and didn't know what to do with it because they still didn't know what they wanted the show to be.
So it just ended up going places in an attempt to find a niche.

Koh is garbage. There's a reason so many people find his work off-putting. You don't need to be a master animator or know the struggles of animation to find it appealing. Look at people who are actually good at animating in 1's and realism. His drawings also suck, and he uses weird pillowshading in his cuts. At least all of these weird decisions make his stuff unique.
Mason Hughes
It looks shit and unnatural, but took a lot of effort. Kind of like Hand Shakers this season.
Bentley Green
They should've saved some of that surplus to get rid of all the QUALITY in StrikerS.
Eli Williams
Might as well just throw that money off of a bridge if they were to waste it like that.
Luis Campbell
Do these people not know what a hair brush is?
Michael Parker
That would have been nice. I think StrikerS even had a bigger budget but was strung more tightly due to being two-cour.
Grayson Adams
>That would have been nice.
No it wouldn't. StrikerS shouldn't even exist in the first place.
Landon Murphy
This isn't even a Nanoha thread. This thread is about animation. Go to bed, you were up for almost 30 hours shitposting in the last Nanoha thread.
Nicholas Roberts
And? The posts I was replying to were discussing StrikerS and I gave my opinion on their suggestions. StrikerS was, from top to bottom, a disaster and throwing more money at it wouldn't have improved it any.
Speaking of, I suggest you go to bed. You were up for almost 30 hours defending bad shows in the last Nanoha thread.
Ryder Richardson
How do I get good at knowing what good animation is?
Isaac Nguyen
Why?
William Lee
I guess you'd have to look for fluidity and body movement. That's the common link between all the stuff I see praised as good animation.
Because it's trash. Half of the run is pointless, the new characters all suck, the new characters are pointless as well because the old guard takes center stage by the end, the plot is absolutely riddled with problems and it's in general an insane downgrade from A's and even S1.
They should have just made A's 2. Without having their heads so far up their ass that they thought Erio and Caro were a good idea (among a shitload of other things), it's certain that it would have been a better product.
Brayden Bennett
I wouldn't say fluidity is all that relevant, Disney and Golden Era western 2D animation in general had dozen of animators work on a single scene at any given time. Animating in 1s has more to do with budget, time and quantity of animators than actual technical prowess.
