Preview of a DVD featuring eight classic works of Japanese anime from pioneers such as Noburo Ofuji, Kenzo Masaoka, and Mitsuyo Seo. Features Momotaro’s Sea Eagle, billed as Japan’s first feature length anime, but also notorious as a wartime propaganda film showing cute animals bombing Pearl Harbor. Other works show the wonders of prewar anime and the vibrancy of interwar Japanese popular culture. Go to www.zakkafilms.com.
Presenter Colin Groesbeck shows you a new way to appreciate the anime you watch. This was a panel at Anime Central 2011 called “That Scene was Awesome: Japan’s Iron Animators (Sakuga Anime)”.

@RandomPrussian1871orly???
id watch japanese animation everytime over disney i just think theyre better at it
@ALfaDuB101 Orly???
Germans and Disney were far moar advanced at the time, but you have to consider that the Japanese didnt have Western technology until 1900, so its pretty damn impressive how fast they learned.
wow japanese animation was light years ahead of everyone else
@cumulo25 ALTIMITER?
You dumbass, Altimiters have 2 hands (a small one and a big one like a clock) and it’s numbered from 0 to 9 each revolution of the big hand is 1,000 feet, each revolution of the small hand is 10,000 feet. how did you look at that and think latimiter?
Facinating.
@cumulo25 it’s an altimeter…
sea eagle looks amazing. i would love to see it!!
@cumulo25 I have animated on paper, but I don’t have a scanner. Why are you insulting me anyway? I thought we were just going to have a legitimate conversation. Hell, I was even going to say your animation was pretty funny. BTW I turned off my videos and Its okay that we have different taste, I still like Looneytuns and anime. I prefer sakuga because it shows awesome things that the Japanese animators can do while staying in budget while pulling off entertaining fight and movement scenes.
1:22 the dial is going down despite the increasing speed.
Lol FAIL
@Pivotman1 tough talk coming from a kid who has no videos, and is named Pivotman (which actually takes even LESS talent to use Pivot)
here this is 209 drawings of my own cartoon, i animated it myself on only paper and pencil
/watch?v=DycLQywu0nU
so yes I DO animate and I edit videos.
P.S. it would take longer and more drawings to produce a cartoon like a Looney Tune from the late 30s, they draw at a higher framerate than anime making it more fluidas compared to choppy anime.
@cumulo25 Lol, no that doesn’t. Have you ever animated before? Oh well, I guess you cant change a haters mind.
@Pivotman1 This takes more time and talent
/watch?v=B9hREHUdDVA
@cumulo25 /watch?v=_tkU-_3y1QU Watch that and tell me that requires no talent.
… and even back then Japanese anime required no talent
@FineGoldBar Propaganda is a form of communication that is aimed at influencing the attitude of a community toward some cause or position so as to benefit oneself. WIkipedia´defines it very well.
You should check out american propaganda how they made out Japanese people to be short and dumb, jap.
0:35 Bitch Just Moon Prism Powered!
@TheMetalicShadow Inspiration….but inspiration from the BEST, not the swiftest.
@te2rx Where do you work at? Your an animator
@neilworms1 jaja no, no es un tipo
“esta chido” = “is cool” or “is great” is very common but not if it appears in the dictionary
@KHdarkRoxas ¿Como es Chido? ¿Es un “typo”, o tiene una palabra deferente? (lo siento, mi español no es buena)
this gave my future light ^-^ ty very much
Fantastic series of vids, I’ve taken an interest in sakuga recently and this is a really nice and concise intro to it.
@BruceLeedar I kind of agree too, but by using the name Sakuga we got the attention of one of the ACEN staffers who was a fan of those videos online, without that guy we may not have had a panel. Its a strange conundrum.
Esta chido lo que presentaron
@TheMetalicShadow Shows like The Boondocks and Avatar are animated off-shore, like a lot of “American” animation, as well as US-funded/commissioned works like Afro Samurai and The Animatrix. Artist & character designer Yoshitaka Amano once had his designs & storyboard animated as a Canada-France-US co-production called “1001 Nights”… it’s not like Naruto though. Americans have also worked in the Japanese industry as animators, like Jamie Vickers (at MadHouse) who is considered “sakuga”.
Does anyone know if there is such a thing as “American Anime” like Naruto or something.
This stuff is so awesome, i always noticed distinct animation styles and such as a kid but didnt know how to describe it. Id tell my friends how i didnt like this “art style” and such, but they wouldnt even notice. They’d look at me and say “It all looks the same to me..” and id just be frustrated haha. Now I know im not crazy! haha Sakuga… seriously awesome stuff.
@te2rx Thanks for the help, Animation is now a goal I am going to chase!
I love animation but I would never be an animator, if I did do a job in animation it probably a designer or storyboard atist.
You were partially right about Disney animators given their own character, but you failed to mention that if there are characters interacting in a seen that they must be drawn by one animator. Disney realized this when working on Bambi in the seen with him and Thumper on the ice.
I wish i could have gone to this panel *sigh* so few people these days even appreciate animation as a medium here in the west as its viewed as for kids which always gets me into fits of rage explaining why animation isnt one thing its a medium to be used to convey something be it a story or just to accompany music. great panel guys.
@TheMetalicShadow Persistence in the face of tedium, and a trained ability to conceptualize and draw things rapidly. That’s speaking as a non-professional who studied 2D and 3D, but never got into it as a career due to the amount of work it takes to create just mere seconds of product. If you like to draw all day every day nonstop in a variety of styles, and have a mind for the dissection of motion, you might “have what it takes”.
what does it take to become a Animator?
@kungfuremix There is no such thing as ‘sakuga style’.
I agree now with those people that think propagandising the ‘sakuga’ term is harmful…
That was amazing XD! Hey, I was wondering where can you learn to do sakuga? Like a school that teaches this type of drawing, I want to learn this style so badly
naruto
Thanks you for doing these! I remember I used to spend hours on end dazzled by these sakuga videos and looking up the animators involved but since everything was in japanese I had a tough time finding content. Before I knew it it’d be 5 am with school 2 hours later. Now I can have a more detailed description on the history of these and the animators involved. Thanks again!
Okay, Nakamura is officially one of my favorite fight scene animators OF ALL TIME.
I love this, thank you!!!!!!!!!!
