...but for general information purposes: this guy, Yutaka Nakamura, is my favorite animator. His battle prowess is gawdleh.
...with my current skill, the only scenes here that I could animate better (not with a different style, but BETTER) are the ones that Nakamura didn't emphasize on as the iconic highlights of the fight. 0:15 - 0:21 were the weak points of this scene. The throw was sloppeh. Not much keyframe effort was put into Jet's movements as he got up.
and this was in the 90s. I'm getting there, but I'm Definitely a level below Nakamura in battle movements. I still haven't gathered the skill neccesary to create fights of the same calibre as his first animation in Soul Eater, Maka vs Jack the Ripper. Sexiest scythe animation I've seen.
@Ccs1989 I'm not too sure, but I'm guessing...since the early-to-mid '90s. In one of his MADs that was deleted from YouTube, there was an old-fashioned-looking animation in which his skill wasn't quite as high as it was now. :D
