  • @mrbanks456
    @mrbanks456 7 місяців тому +4

    I wanna make a quick note that I'm pretty sure Eguchi was more inspired by Tex Avery than Disney. His profile picture is from the Tex Avery cartoon "Billy Boy." A very funny cartoon, I might add.
    If you liked this Sonic intro, I think you'll like the fast-paced energy of Avery's stuff. "Billy Boy" is more layed back, though.

  • @knuxuki1013

    I've always been impressed by this animation because of how early they managed to capture what they were going for with Sonic's personallity and attitude and just how great this short is in general,I re-watch to this day.
    I actually never knew of him until this video, it makes me want to look and find the artists of my favorite works to better appreciate them, either way, I really hope the man recovers, no one deserves that

  • @greenknight9000
    @greenknight9000 6 місяців тому +2

    This really was the closest we'd get Sonic in Dragon Ball, with his appearance in that iconic artstyle, he'd fit right in. The Ending animation deserves to be recognized as well, as Sonic gets _really_ expressive there. You can see his attitude on full-display with the way he looks around and interacts with the environment around him.

    Hisashi Eguchi is a legend! And I feel that the Sonic CD opening is among the very best periods of a contiguous minute and a half of animation of all time. I first saw it, I believe, in 1993, and it absolutely blew me away even in its small, low-color, and extremely low bitrate Sega CD form. And over the past 30 years, I feel that it's something I can always go back to and never get tired of, and even get more out of as I look further into it.

    As a Sonic fan, ever since watching this Intro as a child, this has been exactly what I think of (alongside the intro to Sonic Riders, which is something I recommend you check out) when I think of the appeal of the character. I didn't know that Hisashi Eguchi himself was the one who bought so much of that intro to life, but I'm glad a legend like him contributed to one of my favorite franchises in such a big way. Let's hope that things go am for him, and if they don't, that he passes peacefully.

    Very first thing i really seriously learned to draw was this version of sonic because this sequence is so amazing.
    I’ve never seen that character sheet before and i find it interesting how the way sonics spikes are drawn is different to the actual animation, being more curved like the official sonic art.

  • @Ktn_Tico

    Hisashi eguchi is proto shida, the timing is so immaculate and is near identical to shidas work with the only different thing is probably the frame repeats and the wormy choreo/camera.
