Unexpected cancer

Animation Energy-Saving Mode

I also like the one recreated with plastic models.

Art creation life hacks

A Gundam’s head is emerging from the shield.

Funnels were originally a gimmick to simplify the animation, after all…

It’s nice that you can recreate the Last Shooting with the leftover parts from Gunpla.

You seem to have a body like a raccoon.

Wisdom of drawing…

Sid Mead: “I think the design is complete with this, but why is a shield necessary?”
Staff: “It makes drawing easier.”
Sid Mead: “Uh……”

I wonder if those who were watching back then thought that they were cutting corners.
I also think it’s fine if you can convince someone just by the way you present it.

Just from this, it’s amazing that I can imagine what kind of pose the old man is taking in the parts that aren’t drawn.

Was the shield usually this big…?

It’s probably something like perspective.

It’s tough because it’s energy-efficient yet moves so coolly.

So this is what a reproduction is~

Just before delivering a blow to the Gouf using the shield as a distraction, I was convinced that this expression was good enough.

In the anime, it conveys that they are properly hiding behind a shield while running.

I suddenly became a thunderbolt.

It’s not Gundam, but while watching old anime, what I thought back then was
I feel like there was an anime that gave me a sense of anticlimax, as the places that break have a different color, making me think, “So this is where it’ll break next.”

I think it’s a bad culture to criticize by only picking out a part and claiming it to be a failure in the animation.
But there’s also that feeling… it’s not that there isn’t one, right?

Since cuts that I’ve clearly seen before, like in Chaa-ken, appear frequently, compared to that, Gundam didn’t feel very out of place.

This cut is about 2 or 3 seconds long, so when watching the video, it doesn’t feel that noticeable.
I wonder if I’m really cutting corners as much as I say I am…

You may call it cutting corners, but if we have to meet a deadline, we need to make sure we don’t cut corners where it counts.

In Turn A Gundam as well
When asked, “Is there really a need to make the shield this big for Sid Mead?”
It seems like a response saying that having a big shield allows you to hide.
……
It seems there was a dialogue depicted that feels something like that…
I think there was also a rough sketch by Mr. Shigetada that depicted a beard hiding behind a shield.

As long as it gets properly conveyed to the viewers and they are satisfied, that’s what matters.

In the main story of Turn A, it doesn’t feel like it’s used that much…

This is originally a flow where you hide behind a shield and engage in a sword fight with a Gouf, so it’s not about simplifying the animation or anything like that, but Okada Toshio said it was to make animation easier without knowing the flow, and that’s how it became widespread.

Remaining residue of the last shooting

If his whole body is visible from behind the shield, then Rambaral will become a fool for losing sight of him.

In Tomino’s animation, even still images are given movement through pans.
I like how it looks nice with a good balance due to the connections before and after.

I’m overwhelmed by the non-stop movement in Char’s Counterattack; my brain can’t keep up.
I want you to slow down every time a valid hit comes in.

Damn it! I became invisible with the beam shield!

The beam shield seems to have a bad reputation on site.
I also have to draw the swaying craft on the back side of the beam.

There were people who were angry, saying that the creators never anticipated that their work would be watched over and over in detail on video, so don’t watch it that way!
Well, it’s tough to be seen that way.

The way they omit details in the artwork is so skilled that it makes Gundam a topic of discussion.
The truly tough ones are ones that no one understands even if they are used as examples.

Despite that, the first generation shield really breaks easily, doesn’t it?

Surprisingly, you were weak against things like bombs, weren’t you, old man?

Support mecha with surplus parts attached.

As soon as Seira got on, her toes were dropped by the heat rod.
Intensity is just a matter of the moment.

Was Kukurus Doan’s Island also a high-level technique for the staff to take a break…?

Check out the Yuusha series; there’s a hand-drawn episode by Sasakado once a month or so.

The primary use seems to be for expressing damage to prevent issues when the first shield is broken…

I feel like subtraction design has developed because of the human wave tactics and the lack of a huge budget, but I might just be imagining it.

It’s a scene where I slashed sideways with my sword, but there was no one behind me.

I remember that Ohage was good at this kind of technique.
It’s a trend in toy anime that there is always at least one battle scene in every episode after G-Reco.

Z and ZZ aren’t designed in a way that allows for energy-saving through shields anyway.
I don’t have the image that it’s a method that is thoroughly done every time.

What Tomino excels at is banking, right?

Berl-kun always dislikes using the high-priced model kit’s assault unit…

The position of the beam saber makes it easy to imagine what kind of pose one is in behind the shield.

Animators from the 70s are not used to robots, but they are familiar with sword fights from period dramas, so the old man comes to life.

Looking at it this way, it seems like the beam shield was a total failure.
