@@Joshua_N-A Money has always been a consideration, it's just that the 80s were a time of unprecedented economic growth for Japan and anime studios had effectively infinite amounts of money to dump into whatever passion projects they wanted, hence the abundance of high-quality animation from that time period.

Well this was a possible rotoscope of a real person doing this and people animating it with one hand while watching this person dance again and again to perfect the moves. Still worth it tho.
It's anime from before 2000 and it's hand drawn so it's likely 24fps in 2's (meaning the TV broadcasts 24 frames per second, but there's only 12 actual frames happening: 1,1,2,2,3,3,4,4,5,5,6,6,7,7,8,8,9,9,10,10,11,11,12, and 12). THEN we look at the content itself and look at what motions are repeated and what animation effects are not actually moving, but are just the camera being moved. It started as a hand full of story boards to illustrate the intent then a series of key frames (important moments of motion) were developed and synchronized to any audio the artist was handed which created a basic animatic. From there they filled in the other frames as needed to imply some motion. Once the line art is done and approved it's handed off to the color department then the effects department, then to the compositing people who shoot the final, completed image. The real challenge of this scene isn't in creating the motion, it's in the artists' ability to draw a character in a 360 rotation from a consistent perspective. Not to sound lewd, but drawing a female breast from multiple angles moving in a specific arc while maintaining it's implied size and shape and "perkiness" is a challenge. There's curvature and the implication of mass which have to be maintained against changes in light and shadow. My bet is that the scene probably took a group of 3-10 people a combined number of hours of about one week from draft to completed scene.
I don't know about that, it's an animation loop. I mean I'm sure it still took a lot of work, but it definitely is roughly half the work you think it is
The amount of work that went into this. The reason character design has always been simple in animation is due to the difficulty of animating all the components. This was stunning
This just dredged up the oddest memory. I remember as a kid, one time I was flicking through channels, late at night. I was like 7. Dad was watching with me. Then I flicked through to the kids channel I watched during the day, normally had SpongeBob, Fairly Odd Parents on it. But it was late at night so it was in the young adult, late night anime hour. So I forget what anime it was showing. I remember seeing Gundam on the little info bare at the bottom. But maybe it was something else, dunno. Anyways though, on it, for just a second, there was a lady in a similar outfit to this doing a little seductive hip waggle in a dark room. The moment he saw it, dad sprung to action, grabbed the remote and changed the channel as if to say "Noooooope! Not having that talk tonight!" Never was able to see the scene of the lady doing the dance again and dunno if it was even Gundam. But it was my first ever exposure to "Oooh, pretty lady" and the whole thing has stuck in my head since hahaha
Why does DeepL and Google Translate mention Atsuko as Mamiya's daughter when she isnt, she is an orphan turned dancer then turned sorta of occasional sidekick then bride.

@@simonlasneau9575 Incorrect. To think Whiteness is about nothing more than the presence or absence of melanin is to demonstrate profound ignorance of the biological underpinnings of ethnicity. Case in point: no leftoid would ever even for a moment consider denying an albino African affirmative action. Everyone instinctly understands without being told that that is not a White man, even if we can plainly make out his facial features in a very poorly-lit room. Easy second example: even if you happen to be in desperate medical need of a bone marrow transplant, you absolutely do not want any marrow donated by someone sufficiently ethnically distinct from you. Because if you don't reject the donation *then your immune system will,* with terminal consequences.
Staggering. I have rarly seen hand drawn animation of that quility. Its gorgeous. High levels of frame. Light beaming through the cloth, there is so much going on the screen. The beads. I wonder how long it took to animate. Astonishing.
