The Undisputed Master of Fight Scenes and Action Animation (Analysis) - Yutaka Nakamura

I know there's no short cut to this
but deep down I wish there was.
That's why I'm still practicing the best I can
Not to mention character sheets

I love yutaka nakamura

First clip is my fav aside from the last fight in sword art online. But EP 1 blood blockade is spectacular

The fade technique reminds me of how video games deal with characters obstructing the camera

great video! thank you! and yeah break the rules as its about what works and what looks cool!!

can’t wain to get into animating this summer

There is a distinct easy to distinguish style if he was the genga artist to a scene.

1, the black and white flash before an impact.
2, and the blocks the impact creates if ever destruction occurs.

👍

I would’ve loved to buy the course, but sadly the price doesn’t fit my budget. Unfortunate to say the least.

the more i get into animation, the more i see how hard it is to actually have a quality animation

All these little methods you have a name for are literally things I've been doing but had no idea they were important. Lol just draw what looks what your imagination see

well this is gonna take a while but ill get to that skill level eventually

Personally I think Norio Matsumoto is the best, but they're all geniuses no question

he really is good wonder if i will evre reach that level the only thing i can draw for now is the anime head and not of high quality the hair is hard and i still need to work on the head positions i have not drawin the body once i have no idea how to draw enviroment and i don't have much time the only time i get is rarely during the school weeks and during the summer and winter holidays this leel od skill seems so unwordly i can't even do those things normally but what about warping them in the way he does? that is way out of my reach i hope i will get more time school just eats away at my time i also plan to go to college that will take even more time i at the bare minimum have 6 years of school left (college and highschool) though at least they are free where i live

Record of Ragnarok has to be animated by this master of animation (If it ever gets adapted)

Wow! now there are a lot of things I wanna do. Now I'm interested in animating 🤩

thanks for the vid hope you read the bible and understand Gods wisdom
the end times are near make a change turn ur life to ChrIst if you dont want to go to hell

People think that the Yutapon cubes are Nakamura's only talent but disregard the other scenes like the attacks or smooth movement of characters

Im sad to see some of these comments are saying 'x animator is better than y", "imo i think this animator is more of a master".
Like man they all pretty masterful. Its absolutely rude to invalidate the craft and creative genius that all these animators worked so to obtain. They are all great, they are all masterful. You dont have to personally like their style of animation or expression of ideas and thats okay, im not expecting for everyone to see eye to eye. But you should definitely be aware that what they do is still amazing and incredibly hard to do. It's better to approach animation with open arms and the ability to love and respect all of it than to restrict yourself to the same old stuff you probably be watching for years. You might find a new animator or type of animation that you'll love.

Yutaka Nakamura here is Very Good and Smart to use Contrasts to make It effective, but Still Norio Matsumoto is Better.., That guy make one Gush with Adrenaline.., He can Tell an entire Story with just few pieces of Animation Alone.

Those soul eater scenes. They seem to be just basic movements for few seconds of close shots but they amazingly worked

" You can break all rules "
Me : I hope I can break all laws of thermodynamics !

"All rules can be broken."


Debating this law to my animation supervisor when he checks my animation quality. 🤣🤣🤣

What software is he using to analyze the anime footage.

As an actor, your videos have given me ideas for stylised staging and movement on the stage - an inspiration beyond your field. Thank you.

I loved the MAD video for Yutaka Nakamura great music too

i swear, the plugs take up more screentime that actual analysis does

This is the best Fight animator.

Anyone who says Yutaka's work isn't impressive is objectively wrong.

With all due respect to Nakamura, he is not undisputed master of fight scenes. There is Norio matsumoto who i consider to be better than him and same with Masahiro ando (used to be animator in 90s then moved onto director. He directed Sword of the strangers and animated good portion of final fight of Vincent vs Spike also lots of amazing work in Shinchan). Just my opinion.

I really like the content, but maybe you need to improve the acoustics.

Studio Bones: Could you animate...
Nakamura: Done
Mangaka: 😲😵

Where do you make these animations......

Can you analyze the naruto and sasuke vs. momoshiki fight?? It’s got some amazing hand to hand combat

Do naotoshi shida

One reason why anime fights can never be adapted to live action.

Great video!! ^-^ Btw what is the name of the program you are using?

I'm learning from your vids than I ever did in my cartooning and animation class ✊😭

Acceleration.

i noticed the soul eater scene. he had the gun upside down and pulling the trigger with the pinky... like DANG !!!

what is the name of this animation tool?

I may be late to ask, but what music was used around the contrast of scale section of the video? The tune just sounds so familiar but I can't but my finger on it. Definitely would help me through those drawing sessions.

In my opinion. Chengxi Huang is a master in fight choreography. I dunno, his works in Naruto and Boruto is just brilliant. Even the way he directed the very famous ep 65 of Boruto is awesome.

Your vids are still amazing!
Can you please check out naotoshi shida??

Which drawing Software are you using in this video?
