/r/ that gif of how Naruto animators were lazy and copied off of some movie for one of Sasuke's scenes. Or any other part of Naruto that was copied off of something else, if anything else.

Cowboy Bebop was the first to have taken some Bruce Lee scenes to animate them. In a way, Cowboy Bebop is copying, but Naruto is copying even more, because they did something that was already done.

Whether it's inspirations or copying, it's up to you to decide that.

The Japanese animators see it as a kind of way to show respect and admiration to other works by "copying" scenes actually.

Not that I'm trying to make excuses for anyone, but some martial arts have forms or katas, basically memorized patterens as you go up through the levels of that martial art. There is many competitions just based on that, or free-form. The perspective kinda gives these away though but japanese animators and artist seem to have a rich history of plagiarism and it doesn't bother them at all.

Finding inspiration from old marital-art movies actually gives a little credence to the animation in my opinion as long as its only that, and not tracing. I'd call it research.

stfu noob, it's a sign of offering respect for older animations which the animators loved. quit speaking out of your ass and go knock your head against the TV.

example:
luffy's stretching before battle is analgous to Goku's stretching since Oda was a huge fan of DBZ.

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.
