>>426347 As an animator, I'd like to point out that there is a definite difference in skill between those two animations.
The first one that is copied from Cowboy Bebop is pretty lazy. Whoever animated the scene in Bebop already did most of the work and the Naruto animator just basically traced over it and filled it in with other characters (which still requires some drawing skill so its not THAT easy).
The second one that is referenced from the kungfu movie shows ALOT more skill. This shot was done by Norio Matsumoto who is a genius at animating. You can read more about him here:

Anyhow, Norio has made alot of subtle changes to the shot he is referencing. His timing is slightly different and he's also changing the perspective of the shot to be more dynamic. Aside from that, when Sasuke's right hand moves backwards it opens and slides creating some nice overlapping action (to make the motion look smoother) while the live action clip is so fast that the film blurs.
Norio DOES NOT ROTOSCOPE. Rotoscoping means tracing. Norio is referencing film then building upon it, which is not any different from what Disney has done since the beginning of time.
I know no one's said "rotoscope" yet, but I just wanted to get it out of the way because I'm real tired of people crying "rotoscope" everytime there's something nice looking in Japanese animation.
