i dont know why american cartoonists always make fun of anime(but at the same time copy elements from it). this is all really mind blowing and very talented work.

This is awesome stuff. Solid draftsmanship and an eye for motion beats what computers can do any day. Too bad most of the work is in computer animation thanks to video games.

[MaggyNC]

O___O oh fuck....its fantastic!!!!xD what anime is at 1:32?

[wehrmachtR]

[Reanimator999]

oh...you sound nitpicky. You're not serious, are you?

[rioshu]

It's why I give credit to Avatar: The Last Airbender, because it came the closest to something that American animation should be doing.

Some kinda big revival guy needs to open his wings and steer America in the right direction. :P

[Reanimator999]

Avatar: Storyboarded in US and animated in South Korea. I heard that each episode cost $1 million to make. I wonder how many percentage went to grunt animation work dept.

[Reanimator999]

@rioshu

Then it needs serious reform in industry culture. Which means producers don't meddle with content of the product.

[Reanimator999]

Good American 2D animations are independents, not commercial films and TV. Just go to local film & animation festivals.

Instead blowing tons of money on bloated budget feature animation or going cheapskate with subcontracted TV shows, I wish executives tour around the country and trying to find good entertaining indie animations for development. Animations makers should spend time making pilots for possible green light. "9" is good example of indie pilot becoming feature although it's 3D.

[Nurr0]

I don't exactly know what this is but it seems to have a lot of AMAZING animation and a lot seems to be from Gainax... Crazy stuff! Thanks for the upload (if you can read this).

gaddamit i thought ive searched out all the nes bands out there but ive never heard this version of megaman wily level. kicks ass. by far the best of what ive heard. what band and where can i find it??? and more....

[DandelionHead]

Sigh. I love sakuga.

[gagaman]

Man, I love seeing the pencil tests from these incredible examples of anime. This proves positive that the Japanese are keeping the art of traditional animation alive unlike anyone else right now (especially America, where individual animators' style is never seen anymore thanks for the strict always on-model guide lines they must all withhold in the executive run studios.) It's almost as if Japan are doing now what America was doing in the 40's. Almost.

[Reanimator999]

I don't know much about how American animation studio works. Is it really like that? You know...discouraging experiments on styles among veteran animators & directors. No wonder our animation industry went stale.

[dreamcastjunkyard]

You only have to look at the Simpsons in the last few years to see how restricted they are in doing anything new anymore. It's gone the complete opposite way Shin Chan did.

[Reanimator999]

And they're making movie version? I get to watch Simpsdon reruns from a local TV channel. I'd better check out latest FOX TV season.

[gagaman]

Actually, from what has been seen so far, the Simpsons movie actually looks to have more full animation than the series had had for a long time. There's even a scene with a smear in it!

[PwnStarr]

After Hanna Barbera came into the picture (post Flintstones and Yogi) the creative freedom of the individual artist was all but lost in the animation industry in America. And now with the advent of flash and computer animation, there is literally almost nobody left in America who actually knows how to make real cartoons anymore.

[PwnStarr]

I mean, look at what we have today. The Simpsons, Family Guy, Foster's, Camp Lazlo, Kids Next Door. The stories might carry the show along but the passion for animation is gone. Animation today is limited and weak. Did you ever see bugs bunny standing completely still with just his mouth moving, relying on dialouge to carry the story along!? No, he was always alive!

[Iguanaray]

Bugs Bunny shorts had insane budgets mostly because they were meant to be played in cinemas before actual feature films, and there weren't tons of them released every month. Comic adaptation series rarely have enough room for movement due to their smaller budgets per episode and realism (I'm not saying Bruce Timm stuff and most animes are the most detailed and realistic things ever, but they're not nearly as 'loose' and cartoony as a WB short).

[Iguanaray]

Plus, Bugs Bunny shorts, especially the late Chuck Jones ones, had a VERY loose style which allowed cartony motion without having to worry about anatomy too much.

Also, I wouldn't say the "passion" for animation is gone from Foster's. I usually hate it when professional animators use Flash, but that show looks brilliant most of the time. I used to like Codename KND, but the art is pretty uncreative and bland. Not to mention really easy to emulate, which explains all the horrid fanart.

[SebbyTheFreak]

If you beleive japan has no industruial animation bullshit you are so fucking wrong...

It just doesn't get oversea.

But I aggree that in general, the industry is close to death. They forgot that animation is art first and foremost.

[dreamcastjunkyard]

No doubt Japan has a lot of rubbish animation as well, but they definatly seem to be doing a better job at keeping 2D alive than anywhere else, and the talent is clearly still there, even if they do have to animate on creepy pedo bait shite like Lucky Star. Most of the west has just given up on 2D completely, excluding freelance animators that rarely get huge jobs because the studios don't belive anyone wants 2D anymore.

[SebbyTheFreak]

Well, there is Samurai Jack and Treasure Planet which aren't that old. But the thing is that the west has nearly always outsourced it's animation work and to be honest, the average american can't notice for shit worth the difference between a good animation and a horrible piece of crap. Historically, I mean, look at Speed Racer, french cartoon made in like mexico, korea and japan at 1 cent (and less) per drawing, and it still is a legend here and it's even spawning a feature film...

[Reanimator999]

hey you made a mistake in your statement. Speed Racer was made in Japan back in 60's. It is called Mach Go Go Go in Japan and rest of Asia. Americans imported it for their TV. Korea and France have nothing to do with its production other than importation. It's true that Japanese get crappy pay even today, but they have creative freedom that is still denied to US animators.

[SebbyTheFreak]

I am, however, very full of hope for Ankama Animation, a new french studio (so I consider it "west", even if France is known for being manga imitators) and their cartoon serie coming out soon, a Wakfu Spinoff, is very promising (Bourgar the Barbarian or something). WakFu itself is something I consider "a good exemple of animation" even though it's a game. If flash could be like that more often, we wouldn't really have to complain.

[dreamcastjunkyard]

The French are probably the one country after Japan that are trying to keep 2D animation going. They've done a lot of great stuff in recent years, but as usual one of the good stuff gets released in the UK or US =Y

[empchi]

what song is this_

[conaet]

Rockman/Megaman

[empchi]

what song is this?

[OneClassyBloke]

I wish more studios would release their key animation and storyboards on their DVDs. It's really helpful for a learning animator such as myself.

[Reanimator999]

Hey another 2D animator candidate. Awesome. Why couldn't they release more key animation and storyboard on DVD...I asked the same question myself and it all comes down to marketing. Japanese distributors just don't know how to take full advantage of their intellectual properties. Anime studio in general don't have media distribution rights except Toei and Ghibli. For licensees, it costs a lot of money to put extra stuff as special edition DVD which it may sell or not.

[ochimusha90]

these people are GOD.

[Reanimator999]

Yes. You can become God if you decide to commit yourself 20 years in drawing and observing. Are there people out there who are willing to do this business without falling for temptation of quick and easy way? That is the question.
