PLEASE READ THE DESCRIPTION FOR ADDITIONAL NOTES!

I made this video with the intention of posting it on the Digibro channel whenever it gets un-suspended; and as such I had to keep it under 15 minutes thanks to the problems my channel *already* had.

The script was actually a bit too long to fit in the video, so I had to cut some parts near the beginning; and the result makes somewhat less sense, so here I'll explain what I was getting at:

One of the basic principles of animation is the manipulation of weight and momentum to make animation look more realistic and impactful. Similar to how Jackie Chan manipulates shots to create impact, animation is all about manipulating the timing of frames to create impact. However, Imaishi's team applies this basic animation principle to the flow of scenes, which not lot a lot of anime does (but someone like Jackie Chan does expertly). In other words, Imaishi is like the anime Jackie Chan (or something).

Hope that clears up what I meant there. I'll link the Jackie Chan vid below among other things.

By the way, I would be super duper appreciative if you supported me on patreon or paypal. Tax season came around and since my income is not taxed across the year I'm about to pay the government a loooot of money, so I can really use anything I can get!
