>animation in anime never peaked since opm s1
where are those freelance animators from s1? if only they had worked on the later seasons of opm too...

>>280494912 (OP)
there's barely animation there, retard
just a character teleporting, hence skipped a lot of frames

So, 80% or 90% legally blind? Somewhere along those lines, right?

>nitpicker anon knows that i didn't mean the gifrel as an animation, but still nitpicked
why are modern anime fans so retarded and filled with hatred? and opm s1 having the best animation in the anime history is a fact

>>280494976
why are you people being so nitpicking? ofc, i didn't mean the gifrel, you retards. i meant s1 of opm, ffs. no wonder modern anime fans/zoomers deserves all the hate from us (oldfags) and the world

>>280494988

>>280495016
watch it for yourself, anon. i would've sent all the episodes of s1 here, but sadly the limit is too low and only webms are allowed

Most animators are women and women are only interested in animating BL, while OPM is considered a semi canon yaoi series, fujos attention are elsewhere.

>>280494912 (OP)
A lot of them are still around, in terms of flashy action shows, a number of those animators went on to projects like Mob Psycho, Chainsaw Man and Jujutsu Kaisen. You're likely to find those freelancers around on high-profile action anime. For something ongoing, one of the main animators on OPM S1 is now the chief animation supervisor for Yaiba.

The show in the webm was borderline hentai. The mods thought it should belong on /h/, and started deleting the show's threads while it was airing. /a/ disagreed. People trolled the mods and it nearly broke the board until Hiroyuki himself intervened. The incidence is now known as Nipplemod or Nipplegate.

That webm was the most common one to taunt them because the "Nipplemod" posted it as a "proof" that it belonged on /h/. After some time, they finally auto-blocked the webm through the hashes, so that nobody could attach it to their post.

The post from the mod in question: >>132416933

Mob Psycho season 2 came pretty close at times, but we will never see animation this good again because modern anime do not care about proper direction, choreography and general cinematography. VFX, cgslop and tiktok clip farming are all that matter

>>280498296

One is a blur of glowy special effects cgi, the other is fluid motion and actual direction. I can actually follow whats going on. It's the same reason something like early Luffy vs. Rob Lucci mogs the shit out of any visual vomit you get in nu-OP.

>>280498296

Garbage.

There's some nice character animation I forgot about here. Only episode 2 even.

For as often as he gets fucked, you forget Genos actually pulls off some shit in the anime. Ep2 Genos would probably solo Jeju before Beru shows up.

I don't think this is animation peak like OP, but I've been meaning to fuck around with making webms for awhile and it's nice practice

>>280504586
the first season of the anime has so much to love for quality Genos graphics, since he’s not like Saitama and actually has to use his whole body to move around for attacks.

Solo leveling's animation is mediocre, the fact that so many people think it has good animation shows the garbage taste of normalfags.

Lots of blink and you miss it impact and destruction frames.

Another one I felt like slowing down. Every one of these has a wind-up and followthrough, and even if you can't parse it when it's at full speed it conveys believable movement.

This was a passion project, OP. You need people who like what they do and know what they like, and you need someone who knows all those people to get them all in a room and unite them in the name of kino. Not a lot of passion left in the industry anymore, and while there's still talented people out there, they're all spread way too thin either among good projects directed by hacks on shoestring budgets or projects that are way too niche to get any traction, despite the good work put into them.

Looks overanimated, like they’re just spamming frames on a boring storyboard. Meanwhile OPM has crazy storyboarding showing all kinds of motion and interesting shit thus demanding great animation

>>280520521
eeh. high effort, low yield

>>280517366
I usually skip all the top 10 anime by popularity on MAL each season but even I agree that OPM is a must watch

>>280498296
I'm gonna defend this because even though the first 5 seconds are visual diarrhea it literally doesn't matter because it's just magic spells clashing with eachother and not 2 characters flying around in the speed of light doing impossible fighting moves and the entire scene borderlines on surrealism

I just can't deal with the fact that animators being able to draw smooth, non-deforming object rotations stopped being the standard like 25 years ago.

>>280495111
This is well animated scene no matter how much people want to hate it. I know literally nothing about Solo Leveling but the name alone tells me it's slop so I avoid it anyways

>>280513329

>>280498296
fans of older animation will hate this for obvious reasons but I like the use of modern digital tools to make stuff like this. It's supposed to be flashy and shiny and that's where modern animation is best.

You now manually remember Mob Psycho season 1 losing a "best animation" award for that year to fujos voting for gay men swimming.

>>280530267
Or was it gay men ice skating. I forget what. They're all the same shit.

>>280526972
A good example would be hand drawn vehicles and mechas in older anime, there's no room for cheating because they're rigid shapes that aren't treated with the same level of cartooning as the human characters. They were also some of the earliest things to be replaced with CGI constructs for this exact reason.

>>280530550
oh, so the bike in akira for example?

>>280530550
>there's no room for cheating because they're rigid shapes that aren't treated with the same level of cartooning as the human characters.
Not sure what you meant by cheating, but shortcuts definitely had to be taken to depict moving vehicles because it would be too laborious otherwise. That's why you don't get too many dynamic shots with 2D vehicles, and when you do, the models are greatly simplified. Some complex 2D vehicle scenes in old anime also used 3D reference for assistance, like the attack helicopter scene in Patlabor 2.

>>280530590
Basically everything in Akira. The level of volume control in that movie is crazy. Like look at this specific cut of the guy bailing and crashing his bike:
https://youtu.be/LK3hSoG5foQ?t=11

Everything is in clear view, there's no stylistic exaggeration or deformation or crazy perspectives, just super clean animation where the bike maintains its exact shape and details despite the changing orientation. It wasn't anything special at the time, a more constrained production would've animated it in fewer frames and maybe cut to a new shot earlier but that's it. This kind of "slow" and deliberate way of animating things is far less common than it used to be, and it's not just for stylistic reasons.

>>280531553
Seems like what you're referring to is the realist style of animation, and Akira was a major turning point in the propagation of the realist style. This approach to animation evolved to be more simplified and abstract but still many of the great realist animators are still around in the industry. They're just more likely to be on anime movies.

>>280531904
i wonder how much reference was used here. looks flawless

>>280529716
absolute fun. If only shounens were always this whimsical

>>280526991
The only other time I can remember that happening is in Escaflowne.

>>280531904
is this not 3D animation? It looks very 3D, if not then might it be rotoscoped?

>>280533658
It's funny you mention Escaflowne because that only happens as a one-off really early on and never again.

>>280533745
Looks like Okiura, he just evolved to be more accurate than actual rotoscoping.

>>280533754
It only happens 3 times in Horizon on the Middle of Nowhere, at least for the part that got made into the anime.

>>280548971

>>280550436
Because it was kind of early 3D CG animation with a huge production behind it made by the creator of Akira. I'll admit there's some parts that are rough but yeah overall it's not bad if you weren't expecting the next Akira.

This would be really nice without the ugly CG soldiers wobbling around. I can usually accept CG for vehicles, mechs, and other big mechanical objects, probably because they typically don't require much fluidity in their motion, and also because I personally think it's kinda neat how it separates machines from everything else, but people will never look better in 3DCG than they do in 2D

>>280494912 (OP)
Madhouse does that a lot, unfortunately, they'll animate one season of an anime and not any of the others. They should have stuck around for One Punch Man.

>>280560858
Look carefully, the armoured soldiers are hand-drawn. Look at the line art on the soldiers, it's not perfect like a CG model would be. The digital compositing is doing a good job making them look metallic.
