Stylized Panels in Anime

FLCL goes full manga in the first episode for a bit, but it's not really an action sequence.

KareKano has a lot of its manga moments. Late 90's & early 00's Gainax are really something.

Because it's a cheap way to convey action. You just have to make minor panel movements, instead of a full action, with angles and different perspectives. It does look cool and stylized, but no one wants to have the "cheap animation" reputation. DBGT had no shame in ther budget cuts, so they just rolled with it. My guess is the old alternative animes will have some of those.Try the Dragon Quest anime, who knows.

I'm sure some other anime I've watched have done it, but Ping Pong does it a lot and it works very well. The anime itself is pretty stylized, too. Some people don't like that about it though, but if you're a good person like I know you are, you'll most likely really enjoy it.

Also, mostly unrelated, but if you want more interesting techniques of animation, Trigger's original stuff (as in not adaptions) usually tries to do some wacky and cool animation every episode or so, which might also be something you want. Who knows.

Yes, I'm aware of this and it is probably my favorite part of the show because it's the funniest. I am looking for more action stuff though.

Any titles in particular? Any sci-fi stuff?

I would hardly call a single moment in the OP or ED a cost cutting measure, but I do agree that it can be used that way. As a way of not actually showing a hit and not having two characters actually interact on screen, similar to cutting to black and showing curved streaks to indicate sword slashes. Yeah that would be a lame and artisticly cheap method of cost cutting. But I do think it could be used in some neat ways that would make a show a hell of alot of fun to watch.

As an addendum to my OP, Iria The Zeiram Animation also has some cool comic panel stuff in its opening, bit nothing like that in the actual show. And, of course, Cowboy Bebop has alot of it in its opening, but again not in the show itself. It's kinda frustrating, this kinda style would really lend itself to something like Bebop.

You really did not caught any budget cut on the Opening?

There's tons of them. Every trick in the book is used here, zoom in/out to a big picture frame, characters still while few foreground things move, loop running scenes, shadow moving instead of characters. List goes on.

Having no budget is okay, and using tricks to avoid costs is nothing but normal, even Disney does lot of those. Only pointing out that DBGT is not exactly the most expansive anime of all time...and it shows

I mean, I see what you're saying and I don't disagree with you, but at the same time there's also,
>lots of moving perspectives
>animated backgrounds
>characters rushing into the foreground to strike a dramatic pose
That stuff ain't the easiest to animate.

It's the compensation rule. Usually if you want to impress in one scene, you will have to hold it in another one. DBZ always have 2 or 3 episodes about nothing but teleportation and still talk, until the real fight happens, for example. However in the opening usually the studios give the animators good amounts of money, since the opening will make the first impression, even if all the rest of the series will never comes close to it. Thundercats is a good example, It had one awesome opening, and pretty cheap episodes. The DBGT cuts become more apparent when, contrary to usual /a/ fashion, their new openings for the season are nothing but the exactly same opening, but with different frames at the ending. Talking about the ending, they are the rime example of loop/running scenes with still panels. They do not even try to hide it
