Yeah, that was pretty strange. Also, why did Mirage get a complete redesign?

...

Sometimes, off-model is just better.

What episode is this? I just watched video of Mirage moments and it looks like whatever episode this is has several well animated moments.

Fuck did I love her as a kid. I love the bad girls.

off-model is always better

The Lost Ones, Season 2 Number 57

> the foreshortening and smooth rotation
> three dimentionality of the decoration on her helmet
> varied facial expressions

it´s pretty fucking good

Disney Afternoon was so comfy.

Get outta here, John.

Might as well be a James Baxter thread

its' too busy and pointless. the braindead kids watching it won't care. they'll just scratch their buttholes and stick that same finger up their nose.

Disney's Australian division was really great at expressiveness. That one guy who always gave everybody weird teeth always stuck out in a bad way, though. If you've seen it you know what I'm talking about.

looks like rotoscoping to me

Be honest, Sup Forums

Would you?

Mad Hatter had a scene in Batman TAS that was much smoother than the rest of the animation.
Couldn't find a gif or webm of it, but you can see the scene if you skip to 17:24 in the video here.
toon.is/batman-tas-1x65-the-worry-men-video_e8c4ac7c1.html

Makes me wonder if scenes like these are done by the main crew as an example before they ship the rest overseas for mass production.

BTAS was all over the place in every regard.

Whoa, that's almost offputtingly smooth compared to the rest of the episode.

With all of my lust.

This studio was really impressive. they did one or two gargoyles episodes that looked just... OFF. but off in a kinda nice way. kind of. their aladdin episodes were much more welcome.

eh, that looked pretty normal to me. Roughly the quality of the better freakazoid episodes. of course my potato computer gives me about 5fps on flash video so I might not be seeing the smoothness
instead what stuck out to me was the perfect choreography of the gesturing and expression, including something you wouldn't expect an animatlr to just come up with on their own. One assumes there was very extensive keyframing here with a lot of detailed notes

I'm quite ashamed that there is very little that I wouldn't actually do

is there any reason i normally wouldn't say yes?

it's an evil sorceress with a damn nice midriff and a fucking hot voice, cat face be damned, i'd say it on national TV.

This whole sequence: youtube.com/watch?v=KphaTbU7-Iw

May not seem like much but it was animated in 1995. Compare that to any other CGI from that time. Even early 2000s CGI cartoons looked worse than that most of the time.

CBS had a better budget. Her design changed for the (MUCH) better in her final episode "While The City Snoozes".

The Transformers G1 movie in its entirety.

Like, I know it's a movie, so the animation will be better, but it's just so drastically different that it's a bit jarring.

That Valentine episode from Hercules

That proteus episode with sexy Eliza

Of course. Why would I lie about that?

Aladdin?

those masami obari moments (sometimes the commercial/or intro) in transformers.
call of the primitives
headmasters/target masters spliced in the transformer intro (season 4)
the second time computron fights abominus

I can watch this all day.

GO

KILL

THE CGI

...

>that sudden change in quality

Jesus

>This studio was really impressive. they did one or two gargoyles episodes that looked just... OFF. but off in a kinda nice way. kind of. their aladdin episodes were much more welcome.
>That proteus episode with sexy Eliza
It was them wasn't it? It way Eliza lewded like Jasmine.

In anime those things are as remarkable as a day ending in -day.

>no porn of horse and bat

god damnit

I have no idea what this is but it's adorable

Uh no, I'm as big a weaboo as the next guy but you'd never see animation like in the OP, even in a feature film. They animate at the storyboard level and do most changes of expression/rotations via cuts.

It works better for limited animation, western animation tries to do what the OP scene does all the time but ends up falling flat.

Why is it so common for people to preface their post with something like "I'm a huge weeaboo, but/and even I know that" and then say something that is patently incorrect?

Foreshortening happens all the time in anime, and I'm talking about TV anime. Characters having three-dimensional details in their designs is the norm. Even stuff like three-dimensional camera movement (e.g. the camera rotating around a character) happens often.

>They animate at the storyboard level
I don't know what you're talking about here, but the storyboards in anime are typically very sketchy and vague, animators use the storyboards to produce layouts (a detailed plan of the cut which may include things not in the storyboard), and after layouts are approved they animate the scene.

>do most changes of expression/rotations via cuts
They do not.

There have been a couple of unexpectedly fluid moments this season, but this takes the cake so far.

Wow, what? That looks so fucking bizarre.

this single moment from Some Enchanted Evening

What's wrong with nu-Simpsons animation? Is it that they're skipping frames or what.

Frameskipping is a technique, not a mistake.

Must have been a terrible strain on the animator's wrist.

John is an advocate of on model, have you even read his blog? Going off model for a segment only has impact if the rest of the show is on model.

That's why they don't do broadcast animation live any more.

>have you even read his blog?
why would I do that?

Episode of Bob burgers where teddy is flopping around the refrigerator

I was just thinking of that.

>Some Enchanted Evening
This was actually the First simpsons episode ever produced.
The network were concerned about the quality of the show, but the 2nd episode they did (Bart the Genius) was acceptable enough for them to continue production.

After season 1, the Dungeons & Dragons cartoon would have some really nice animation with shading for about six seconds every episode or so.

The more I watch this the more I want to fuck the cat lady.

>we blew the entire animation budget

>Parody of Disney Renaissance cartoon
>"lmao anti-semitism joke so edgy"

I hate this shit

Disney was literally run by kikes throughout the entirety of the Disney Renaissance, the joke makes no fucking sense.

It just more a popular rumor than an actual thing. Like saying Disney was cryogenically frozen.

Plus Stewie wanted to live in this world, there had to be a contrivance to make them leave and eventually go back to their normal, stilted world.

Is there any info on the Disney Universe scene? It must have costed alot.

It's because it's all stiff and lifeless.

No squash, stretch, anticipation, follow through, weight, etc etc.

With that terrible lip syncing I think I prefer the vanilla animation.

Baxter is pure sakuga

>I hate this shit

This is legitimately mesmerizing. You can really feel the emotion

...

I'm sure I've seen WW do that same move somewhere else, but I can't recall exactly where.

He's pretty justified in hating it. All that nice animation and for what? A "jews" joke? I know it's Family Guy but it's hard not to be let down.

/r/equesting a HD webm of that 1 scene in the old Scooby Doo show. Scooby is stuck in an elevator with the green demon cat. The animation suddenly becomes all detailed with sweating, gravity and everything.

>Good animation thread
>No first season of Korra

I don't like that type of fast-paced liquid animation. Everything looks badly timed and without any physics to it. The characters move too much on-point with everything.

What's the point of saying "this show runs at x amount of fps" if in reality every scene and every character action changes the amount of frames per second?

Western animators need get on some of Japan's studios' level and learn to put skimp on scenes that don't need 100 frames and blow the budget on the scenes that can benefit from more frames. Instead they just set a standard frame rate and in so doing put lot of effort into pointless stuff.

Isn't the whole movie pretty well animated? I'm not sure I'd call it unusually well in that case.
That said, this is some gorgeous animation indeed.

My 2 cents.

Yea, Rough Draft can do high quality work at times.

But most of the time it's extremely stiff and lifeless.
That scene did not cost that much.

There is a reason for that.

Mir has nick drawing, their animation is choppy most of the time and their coloring is god awful.

Bard Mountain was the best thing they done but thats only because all of the storyboards, timing, directing, layouts and key animation came from Production IG who know how to make quality animation, Mir also did a great Turtles short as well.

Also Rough Draft (see ) and even Akom (see ) have done better work with less.

Lip syncing isn't pointless. As are walking cycles and sometimes jumping. But agreed, they should do dialogue scenes with 24 fps on the mouths and 12 fps on the hand gestures and head waving, before they go outside the house and start really moving.
But that requires to pay your animators exactly what's their worth, not something fixed.

Lol what happened to Homer's head at 0:00? It's all blurry and green when he moves it from behind that black old man.

not to worry. the final nail in the coffin is coming with the "remake" soon to be put on screen. That steaming pile of shit can be seen coming from a long way off.

People see that as being consistent with the animation while Japan is inconsistent as fuck, having tons of scenes with wallpapers talking at each other and like 2 minutes of good animation out of 900 minutes

>while Japan is inconsistent as fuck
Which has worked in their favor extremely well.

>Having tons of scenes with wallpapers talking at each other and like 2 minutes of good animation out of 900 minutes
Nice meme.

>Which has worked in their favor extremely well.
No it has not.

Of course it has. They've built the best animation industry in the world.

No, I'm talking about the inconsistency.

So was I.

Anyway, this also counts.

Get on your knees, now.

...

If you have something to say, then say it.

I love that they only put effort into western cartoons and never into their own cartoons. Guess japan hates china as much as we do.
It's still amazing to see a country born from the same genes as their ancestors do a complete 180 turn on their society and culture, to the point they appreciate Europe and America, as much as weeaboos appreciate Japan.

>Why, you little shit.

>I love that they only put effort into western cartoons and never into their own cartoons. Guess japan hates china as much as we do.
What cartoons is Japan even producing? And what does China have to do with anything?

So you have nothing to say. Ok.

Japan does put effort into their own productions.

Noing when to put effort into a task in when not is the hallmark of skill. No one pats a general on the back for keeping his troops consistent across the line. Skill is largely about putting assets where they are most needed.

Consistency is an issue only when they give a substantial amount of frames to a scene that deserves it but then don't give the frames to a scene that needs them just as much. This idea that resources should be consistent across all scenes is a joke.

>Castle of Cagliostro

Pure taste there user.

Thanks.

>WHAT THE UCK
Was self-censoring really necessary?

Yes, yes it is.
