my guess is you like the build up and suspense in a show and you confuse it with the fight scenes. that scene had some good build up,drama, and the song during it while chessy added to it very well making it entertaining.... just not good. as in well choreographed, or full scenes of action. a good fight scene is measured in how far away you are from the fighters, if you see their faces and individual blows you are looking at crap that was done to give the illusion of excitement rather than a good fight. in conclusion a good fight it the entire fight in one motion with as few change of perspectives as possible.

The Korean studio behind this film stacked their budget in favor of the fight scene at the end. They did some generic choreography with the animators in studio, mocked up some crude 3D models, and lo and behold, the final product was pretty fantastic.

Some anime look cheap relative to other anime. American animation looks cheap relative to anime. Very, very cheap. When people say something like "anime is cheap-looking and badly animated and made entirely in Korea," they are engaging in projection.

>>78836302
One thing that writers do too often is have characters pause to say witty things to each other. A lot of good fights are uninterrupted duels, where the only dialogue is one or two lines quickly said when the fighters AREN'T right in front of each other, or when one of them has already been defeated.
As for the actual choreography, just make sure the movements would really flow into each other and that momentum is always carried.

No. This is projection. Only some of the work is outsourced, mostly in-between animation. On American productions the norm is to outsource ALL animation.

No, you don't understand what anime is. You think it''s just a vague visual style and a collection of tropes that can be made anywhere by anyone. But it's not. It's a form of Japanese animation intimately tied to Japan and the Japanese people. If an anime production is outsourced to another country, it isn't anime.

If you know all about these outsourced productions then feel free to list them. But even if you did, so what? They are not the norm like you're making them out to be. You are just trying to project the failures of the American animation industry onto the anime industry out of nationalistic jealousy.

>>78866066
I don't know about /co/, but I think you're confusing /a/ with /tv/.

>>78866162
Uh no. Anime means animation developed in Japan. Just because it was outsourced doesn't make it not a Japanese production. It's still written, drafted, funded, voice acted, and aired in Japan. Having Korean animators do the animation does not change this.

One Punch Man
Naruto
One Piece

In that case, if the entire production staff of Adventure Time moved to Japan, it would suddenly be anime? No. Anime is a product of Japanese culture, history, society and language, and the animation and production techniques it employs, and many other things.

>Examples:
Did you actually look at the credits on ANN? They're all full of Japanese animators.

Animation is a big part of anime. If none of the animation is done in Japan then it isn't anime anymore.

It's still anime if animation is outsourced. Point blank. It's still a made in Japan and for Japanese people. Also, ANN don't give full credits, just the "head" people. Look at the actual credits in the actual shows.

>>78866785

>It's still anime if animation is outsourced. Point blank. It's still a made in Japan and for Japanese people.
It's mostly made outside Japan, yet it's still made in Japan? And no, it's not enough that an animation is made in Japan and for the Japanese market. That doesn't make something anime. Anime is much, much more than that, like I already said.

>>78867141
Did I say something isn't anime because Koreans worked on it?

>>78867144
No it wasn't, and who exactly at ILM could have even done that animation? Putting aside that ILM is a special effects company, not an animation company, it's incredibly rare for Westerners to even be able to draw a character that looks like it could have been made by a Japanese artist. And that's just making one drawing; now how about doing that as animation and employing all the animation techiques anime uses? Anime isn't something you can shit out on command.

So what's your point then. America does pretty much the same amount of work on their end for Korea as Japan does for Korea

>>78867361
Anime is a product of Japanese culture, history, society and language. It's a product of the limited animation and production techniques developed for television. It's a product of the beliefs the Japanese have about animation (as opposed to the very different beliefs Americans have about animation). It's a product of manga. It's also been influenced by things like visual novels and otaku culture. Anime is all of these things, and more. It's not just any and all animation made in Japan.

>Not only that, if you go for the Japanese definition of "anime" it means all animation.
People never, ever get tired of repeating this nonsensical semantic argument, do they? It doesn't matter how the Japanese use the word. Anime is what it is even if it's called "h5u4th43gfreg." It's not defined by semantics. Likewise, American animation (or whatever) doesn't become anime just because someone calls it that.

>>78867405
No, I didn't.

>>78867526
Outsourcing ALL the animation work is not the same thing as outsourcing SOME of the animation work, especially when it's mostly in-betweening.

>>78867613
Anime isn't a genre, it's a medium. It doesn't matter what trends affect the shows because it's still anime. It's made in Japan it's anime, it's not even debatable.

>>78867706
I am talking about a production outsourcing all the animation, not the entirety of the American animation industry outsourcing animation. There is still some animation made in America, but it's not a lot.

Gravity Falls was evidently produced by Disney Television Animation, but when you look at the credits on IMDB there are basically no credited animators. There's one person doing something called pixel animation, and one person doing "additional animation." And three animation directors. A Korean company is credited as a production company. The 2013 Mickey Mouse series has one credited animator.

>>78867776
I JUST explained this in the very same post you're responding to. It's a semantic argument. Read what I said again.

It's not semantics. Anime is anime no matter what if it's made in Japan by Japan for Japan, even if it has outsourced animation. Stop trying to change definitions.

>>78868165
"The Japanese call all animation anime, therefore all animation is anime" is a semantic argument. A very bad semantic argument.

Anime is defined by certain things. It's certain kind of animation existing in a certain kind of context. It's not just any animation made in Japan. Adventure Time isn't going to become an anime if all of the production team is moved to Japan. Even if all of them were replaced with Japanese people who carried on doing the show exactly as before, it still wouldn't be anime.

An anime that has all of its animation outsourced overseas is not anime either. I realize that Americans place no importance on animation and consider it busywork to be handled by Koreans (or someone else in Asia), but that doesn't mean it's treated the same way in Japan.

You keep repeating this like it means anything outside whatever cultural studies textbook you copied it from. The thing is, anime, like all genres of stuff, is a living institution. You can't pin it down with a definition because a genre's definition is constantly in flux and includes whatever consumers of said genre choose for it to include by consensus. You think this means I can say SU or The Simpsons is anime. That's not correct, there is no consensus of any size validating those claims. But many people describe Avatar as "American Anime." If that means something to enough people then it becomes true, and when the consensus definition for anime changes enough then Avatar may very be considered anime in the future. Don't like it? Welcome to the bed you made. You want to speak authoritatively about definitions? Sorry, that requires a paper, not a soundbite, dickhead.

I didn't copy it from anywhere, and it's self-evident enough that nobody should have to explain it to you.

I never said or implied it isn't, and I obviously am aware that it's a living institution. One Punch Man is a long way from Astro Boy. But it's part of the same lineage. The animation and production techniques used by Astro Boy, the manga influence, the assumptions people had and developed about animation... those are all part of OPM today. There's a clear link between the two. "Living institution" doesn't mean "some dumbfucks said this is anime, so now it's anime."

>But many people describe Avatar as "American Anime."
Because they don't know what anime is. They think it's a vague visual style and some tropes. It's not.

>If that means something to enough people then it becomes true, and when the consensus definition for anime changes enough then Avatar may very be considered anime in the future.
Up is not down and Germany is not an island just because a lot of people say so. This is a blatant appeal to majority.

>You want to speak authoritatively about definitions? Sorry, that requires a paper, not a soundbite, dickhead.

I'm still waiting for someone to show me an anime that was completely outsourced to Korea. Someone tried before, but he didn't actually look at the credits and just assumed things (based on what, I don't know).

What's the point here anyway? Even if there's some that was animated entirely in Korea, so what? It is not the norm.

>>78869566

You mean anime that airs at ungodly hours and is aimed at a niche audience?

>>78869566

>>78869775

That's exactly what we've been talking about this entire time.

>>78869849
What do you think late night anime is? It airs at ungodly hours and is aimed at a niche audience. The mass appeal anime is mostly stuff like Pokemon, Detective Conan, PrettyCure, Sazae-san and Doraemon. Mainstream Japanese audiences don't watch Yuru Yuri.

>>78869909
Nope. That's not what it was about

I said Korra wasn't animated in America. As in, not at all. Someone replied that anime is outsourced to Korea too, as in outsourced entirely. I said that only some of the work is outsourced, whereas in America it's the norm to outsource all of it. Someone replied that it depends on the studio, meaning that some studios outsource everything. Then there were those people saying that Innocence was outsourced entirely to ILM and that American and Japanese productions outsource equally, i.e. Japan outsources everything just like America does.

It's very clear what we've been talking about, but I guess you're just going to pretend to be stupid.

But it's also wrong (also, since you're interested in fallacies, this one is called an appeal to common sense). Any checklist of acceptable parameters for what qualifies as anime will always be violated. You've already lost this argument vis a vis outsourcing animation. OPM is animated by Koreans, violating what you said here >>78866162 "If an anime production is outsourced to another country, it isn't anime." I could stop right here because there's no point in continuing but this is kind of fun.

>One Punch Man is a long way from Astro Boy. But it's part of the same lineage. The animation and production techniques used by Astro Boy, the manga influence, the assumptions people had and developed about animation... those are all part of OPM today. There's a clear link between the two. "Living institution" doesn't mean "some dumbfucks said this is anime, so now it's anime."
The thing is you could make the exact same argument linking Astro Boy to Legend of Korra in tems of influence, style, etc, but you won't because you're being too narrow, or perhaps willfully xenophobic(xenophilic?).

>Because they don't know what anime is.
>Up is not down and Germany is not an island just because a lot of people say so. This is a blatant appeal to majority
If you want to formulate a definition of anime, do it but sorry it has to have internal consistency. You can't call appeal to majority on a definition dependent on majority opinion, which is how genre theory works whether you like it or not. Argue that anime isn't a genre if you want, but you'll lose. Globalism is global and anime isn't excluded. Japanese particularity fails your definition.

>And here's an appeal to authority.
Come back with a less arbitrary definition is not an appeal to authority any more than your insistence upon your failed definition is an argument from repetition. Back to JV debate with you, urchin.

>>78855699

yes anime can be prettier in any number of unrelated ways, but actual animation wise it's a joke compared to the standards of animation in the US.

To settle the debate on what anime is since so many people here are ignorant

>Anime
The Japanese term for animation, period. They call mickey mouse, Ben 10 and Teen Titans anime. It's literally the word animation rendered in Japanese and shortened.

For boards and categorizing things anime is animation produced with the intent to be distributed within Japan and primarily with the Japanese audience in mind.

>If an anime production is outsourced to another country, it isn't anime.

Next time you are on a/ try to pay attention and read to the animation and production threads that are on there. At the end of the day it's a business and people are trying to make money. If an animation studio elsewhere is not charging a lot they are going to outsource the work to then if they can get it done at a cheaper price. This is what ALL businesses do. Even in the One Punch Man threads it was constantly mentioned that there were a bunch of Korean animators working on it.

Even if this it the case that does not mean the work is any less Japanese just because in betweens were done by a studio in not located in Japan. That's like saying when American companies outsource the animation then it's not longer American. The notion is absurd.

>>78872015
Agreed, I love fight scene threads and this one somehow got derailed into arguing over what anime is. Like...What the fuck does it matter what someone considers anime?

Hell if you have cool anime fights please share them, I dont think it has to strictly be cartoons if you can point out examples of what make a good fight scene in any type of animation?

>>78867613
Uh, no. It's MUCH simpler than that. Anime is simply what the japanese call animation, and what non-japanese call animation from japan. That's it. We call it a cartoon, they call it anime.

They are now but american cartoons were largely Japanese animated with increasing frequency from the 60s up into the 90s, particularly anything that required actual dynamism rather than talking heads or short loops. It was only when all that American cash made the Japanese animation industry reasonably profitable that it became less affordable and everyone moved their shit to Korea instead.

On the subject of choreography though I really wish everyone would just stop abusing retarded backflips and constant leaping in and out of combat. It would really just improve the average quality by leaps and bounds all across the board.

>>78871504
Most key animation in Japanese cartoons are done locally. Its the inbetweens that commonly gets sent abroad.
