There are so few actual action shots like this in the show. There's that, Pearl vs Amethyst, that one time Garnet fought that tentacle monster for a two seconds, and MAYBE Steven vs Amethyst.

>>93429795
I think the light fluid movements make sense in that sequence, because in the beginning she's just parrying, and when she hits the holograms with her sword it goes through them anyway
I agree that this one >>93429944 feels too weightless though.

Holy shit, that's embarrassing for you. That fucking spin Garnet does made me laugh from how retarded it looked.

>>93430163
I'm not sure about the weight in the second sequence.
Look closely and Connie's first strike is a clear miss, the following one Pearl deflects, mostly near the hilt. She does not budge at all, though. Why? Because she is attacked by a little girl. Pearl is still a Gem and would have a tone more force. Like, have you seen that shot where she punts a boulder aside mid-air? Connie's swings are weak in comparison and a deflect only deals with a fraction of the impact force, which is the entire point of deflecting.
Then you see Pearl swing at Steven and that's where the big impact is sword on shield, sparks flying but Steven won't move because he actually has strength like a Quartz.
That's naturally hard to square with the fight between Connie and Topaz where Connie is clearly far stronger than she should be.

There's a difference between slightly off-model and severe lack of quality control.

It's especially shameful because Sugar redesigned and simplified the characters from their pilot designs because she didn't want the artists to struggle drawing in her style. Unfortunately, half her staff is full of mediocre artists where even two crutches and leg braces is not enough to help them walk without walking into a wall.

It seems like too many people want to have eat their cake and have it too. When making a television show you can either have great detail but shit animation or great animation but not much detail. It seems that people don't really understand that.

Personally I would just about always have better and more fluid animation because otherwise I could just go read a comic-book. (I'm looking especially at you Once Piece goddamnit)

I said Steven was anime INFLUENCED, just like Wakfu, just like a lot of elements in Motorcity, just like most Western animated fights. And yet despite being so influenced by anime, SU completely fucks up core elements about it outside of just bad references and tracing over existing scenes as a "homage". You'd think with how big of weebs half the crew is, they'd try to do the production a little closer to anime or Sugar would've at least hired one or two people who could board out good fights rather than hiring ten people who can trace over Ghibli tears really well.

Neither? It's supposed to be lighthearted and "triumphant" in a sense. Two characters joined together and are now curb-stomping a villain that they could barely touch before. I suppose it's closer to being "jokey" rather than serious in tone.

Good animation is animation that looks good in motion. If you can't use every individual frame as a wallpaper, that doesn't mean it's badly animated.

That's the same as the second bullet point, don't make them separate to make it look like more is happening.

>More information on Homeworld
No there wasn't. Of the arc we spent in Homeworld, we got only one decent shot of it while the remaining was spent in a pitch black trial room and an abandoned kindergarten that looked like the one on Earth.

>Steven got a new power
I'll give you that, but now I'm going to take points away by revealing how that power ends up being the backstory for lion who turns out to be nothing special at all. I'm sure Steven's resurrection power won't come into play again for another season and a half, much like his healing spit and how he still doesn't give a shit about trying to heal corrupted gems, apparently.

>>93433306

>For literally like, ten seconds.
Cool how you left out the other half of the sentence. Why even do that?

>More shit to put on the shelf for later.
I mean, what did you want? Should they just reveal everything up front? You realize most serial media has ongoing mysteries that are gradually solved over time, right?

>Cool how you left out the other half of the sentence. Why even do that?
Because the character dying and being brought back within a ten second span is way less interesting and truthful than "character dies and is resurrected, isn't that cool!?". Ignoring the fact that it was already leaked and predicted that Lars would die, the audience barely even had the time to let his death settle in to actually be impactful. It'd be more accurate to say, "Oh, and Lars is pink and has Lion's powers now" than Lars dies and is brought back to life.

>I mean, what did you want?
We're on our fourth fucking season and so far we know that: Rose rebelled, she shattered pink diamond, actually someone might have aided her in shattering pink diamond. That's an insane slow drip of information we're getting. Fuck, we have more Sadie episodes than we do information about Rose's role in the rebellion episodes.

>Were you somehow aware that there would be a judicial system
Which will most likely NEVER going to come up again. It was most likely only there as a setup for the Rose reveal and will be forgotten about and irrelevant from here on out. That's like saying if we saw some gems at a drive-thru getting take-out that we're "learning more things about Homeworld!".

>massive kindergartens
Yes, because it was already mentioned that's how gems are made? They aren't unique to Earth. It's been mentioned over and over Homeworld is running out of resources and gems being made there are less powerful, of course there would be kindergartens.

>and reject fusion holdouts
It's just a kindergarten repurposed. They didn't have some secret underground rebellion with their own radio station and propaganda posters strung around. It was just new characters in hiding who are only really there to add to the roster for later.

Don't try to deny that SU has a bad habit of getting close to something actually happening only to furiously hit the brakes and say "we'll get back to it later".

First off, I never said "character dies and is resurrected, isn't that cool!?", you may want to try re-reading the post. Second, mentioning the death and resurrection provides context to what actually happened, my post was entirely "truthful". Just saying "Oh, and Lars is pink and has Lion's powers now" doesn't really tell him anything. He didn't just randomly turn pink and gain powers, mentioning the death and subsequent resurrection is important, regardless of how quickly that happened.

>Which will most likely NEVER going to come up again. It was most likely only there as a setup for the Rose reveal and will be forgotten about and irrelevant from here on out.
It was setup that gave insight into the culture there. A drive-through would've given some (less interesting) insight as well.

>It's just a kindergarten repurposed. They didn't have some secret underground rebellion with their own radio station and propaganda posters strung around. It was just new characters in hiding who are only really there to add to the roster for later.

Eh, SU's never been a good action cartoon. Anime has sakuga moments because of individual artists being very passionate about their work, probably.

The eventual war flashbacks are going to be disappointing.

>>93433945
Your entire first post was responding to this:
>>93432962

Someone who wanted to know whether or not anything exciting has happened in the show. They didn't have to say exciting, it was already implied. Otherwise you could say shit like, "Well, Pearl got a crush on a Rose look-a-like dyke!" and you'd still be answering their question. But that's not what they wanted to know, they wanted to know if anything exciting happened.

Lars death was not exciting. It was about as dry of a reveal as learning that Steven can float. In fact you SHOULD have said he gained Lion's powers because that is way more shit happening than some death scene that was over before the title card ended.

>It was setup that gave insight into the culture there. A drive-through would've given some (less interesting) insight as well.
This is the stupidest thing in your post.

>Why are you avoiding the question?
Did I know Homeworld was experimenting with fusion? Yes. Because they had a fucking arc dedicated to it with the Cluster. So all we learned is that there were some rejects on Homeworld in hiding, but the info that there were some there was already presented.

So again, very fucking little has happened in the show outside of a conspiracy of PD's shattering that won't get mentioned until season 6 finale.

>Did I know Homeworld was experimenting with fusion? Yes. Because they had a fucking arc dedicated to it with the Cluster. So all we learned is that there were some rejects on Homeworld in hiding, but the info that there were some there was already presented.

But it wasn't? Those weren't experiments, they were willing fusions forced to go into hiding, living outside the bounds of their society. Go ahead and point out where that was prior presented.

>>93434382
All you're doing is splitting hairs to try and make it look like shit actually happens in SU beyond tidbits of info that is put on hold for later. We've seen kindergartens, we've seen Homeworld is interested in experimenting with fusion, we've seen that they despise of mixed gem stone fusion. Again, all that shit did was add more characters, not more information.

The fact that you think the first time we finally set foot on Homeworld and it's more "HW hates fusion!" shit speaks volumes to how accepting you are of the nothing pace SU has. As if the six other times that info was relayed to us wasn't enough, now we get to see it on the planet itself.

Why do fanartists have more imagination when it comes to holograms and shapeshifting?

>>93434476
They are not burdened and stressed by deadlines and pressure from above and below.

>>93434512
Are deadlines suddenly an excuse to not utilize holograms and shapeshifting in the most basic of ways? I mean, the other animators aren't even being avant garde with it, but they're at least USING it. Which is often times more than I can say for SU who seems to go as far as taking the Sonic the hedgehog spindash because they couldn't think of anything themselves.

GF had quite a few cool monsters. Cipher's death was very cool to watch. Star has managed to do some creative magic visuals, like the Dip Down key opening spell. Gumball does very creative things when their animation from time to time.

I just don't know why when it comes to things like height consistency, fight scenes, or characters using their powers in an interesting way, the excuse of "deadlines" or "budget" seems to only be prevalent to SU. Star had a pretty decent magic battle for their finale, but the SU finale with Topaz looked like ass and they spent so much time with Steven and Connie shouting nothing dialogue like, "What are you talking about!?", "This isn't the time!", "It's all my fault, I put you guys in danger!".

>>93429944
>>93429634
The biggest problem with SU fights is that the animators just don't understand/use weight and camera movement enough, that'd make the fight scenes much better

The show has some good looking moments and some bad looking moments.

What the fuck are any of you hoping to accomplish? If you post enough of your examples then the other guy will have to admit "Ahh shucks, he proved the show is good/bad after all, and said my counter-examples don't count. I guess I have no choice but to start/stop watching the show now".

Is this all your life consists of?

>I said Steven was anime INFLUENCED, just like Wakfu, just like a lot of elements in Motorcity, just like most Western animated fights. And yet despite being so influenced by anime, SU completely fucks up core elements about it outside of just bad references and tracing over existing scenes as a "homage".

So its ok if Anime do it

>>93430453
Why is Murdock fighting that old man?

>>93436350
Anime produces hundreds of shows within a single year. They have a high enough output of original animation to get away with a couple of thefts.

America has like fucking five on a GOOD year. And even less of those are action. And the artistic skill level overall in the TV industry is staggeringly low. So when during the few times we get an action scene and one of them happens to be a rip-off, it's extra bad and speaks volumes how western artists wish they could draw like Japs.

Not to mention SU does it on enough occasions for it to get grating.

>>93436350
When did he ever say it was ok when anime did it either? Also I think those are the same director, meaning that's mainly some dude reusing his work from bebop to make a quick pay day.

>>93436631
I thought they only did it once with a pearl vs hologram battle by ripping of princess utena?

>America has like fucking five on a GOOD year.

You say it like its a competition. The west doesn't focus too much on animated action anymore for business reasons.

Also when is it a bad thing to take inspiration from anime to the point where it becomes a carbon copy? I thought it was clear they arent trying to be anime, but merely inspired by it.

>>93437868
It doesn't have to be a competition for that to be an extremely low number of productions in a major industry to be happening. We get more animated movies per year than we do animated series.

>Also when is it a bad thing to take inspiration from anime to the point where it becomes a carbon copy? I thought it was clear they arent trying to be anime, but merely inspired by it.
Because that's extremely boring. Why watch a bootleg when you can watch the original? Plenty of shows have taken influence from anime without that influence just being, "Taking scenes from Spirited Away" or "Referencing Evangelion" or "Tracing over Utena fight scenes".

When you're inspired by something, it's often you taking your inspiration and running it through your own personal filter to give it a new or different flair. Problem is, SU's inspiration seems to go about as non-stop references and copying. They could almost rival Billy & Mandy with how often references pop up in their show.

It's like if Gravity Falls had sweatdrops and prat falls and Hirsch said he was inspired by anime. It's the most superficial way of translating your inspiration you could do.

With one piece you legitimately have the option to just go read the comic book and you should take it.

>>93432381
>>great fluidity and sense of weight, decent enough physics given the source material
It's easy to have fluidity when you draw the characters as a fluid.

>>93430541
If they were so desperate for fluid animation that they had to reduce the characters to jello blobs to achieve it, idk, maybe they should have went 3D at that point.

No, it really wasn't. Pain was tossed around like he was made out of paper and some of the shit that happened just looked ridiculous and made it feel like an episode of Looney Tunes. That screencap of Pain's face isn't a matter of pausing at the right moment and finding a silly smear frame. It's easy to see as it's happening. And it's mixed in with several other equally ridiculous smear frames.

>>93436371
Fun fact,, one of the character designers for motorcycle (Robert valley) once stated in an interview that he was inspired by gorillaz' Clint Eastwood music video

>>93442964
It doesn't help that the artstyle and overall tone doesn't lend itself well to such plots. Its one thing when capeshit cartoons or even toyetic ones tackle serious storylines, it's another thing when a show full of fat people that looks like your standard comedy cartoon tries to go for serious drama.

That Pain episode, Birdy Decode, and Noein all have similar animators or animators that influenced one another. Noein had the likes of Norio Matsumoto, Ryo-Timo, and Satoru Utusunomiya who influenced young animators like Shingo Yamashita and Kenichi Kutsuna who worked on Birdy and that Pain episode. Matsumoto himself also did animation for the aforementioned two anime.

this show has good fight scenes (sometimes) I'm still trying to figure out why this turned out so bad.
did they just not know how to animate such a round character?

>>93446343
It might look nice, but every time when I see a character showing of their backs like that I wish their opponent just strike them with critical hit.
