I love how Shida’s art is sharp yet expressive, and his use of shadows in his art is noticeable yet not excessive. I also love how he animates a lot of the action scenes with timing that almost feels like it goes beat by beat. Shida is an incredible artist and animator, and this is an incredible analysis of it.
have you ever watched sakuga MAD videos on youtube? theyre fanmade music videos to promote animators. there are lots of amazing animators, but the shida ones almost look like theyre dancing along to the music. "beat by beat" just like you said
It takes a certain type of skill to draw art that look so detailed and expressive while having fluid animation at the same time. Shida's talent is without a doubt top tier. Also cool opening btw too.
@@forgottenrelics1197 would you ever make a video about great animators from series like mha attack on titan demon Slayer one punch man or mob psycho 100 or the only good animator on Yu-Gi-Oh takahiro kagami that have not worked on dragon ball but you would love to see work on dragon ball and what you think they could add to The series like arifumi imai
@@jackko21 Yeah I remember last year juggling the idea of something along those lines where I dream about all the talented animators I would like to see work on DragonBall. Maybe I might expand on that concept one day in the form of a video, I really can't say for sure :)
@@forgottenrelics1197 I would personally love to see takahiro kagami Work on dragon ball because he probably had the best animation on Yu-Gi-Oh everyone else was not really great but he always had these awesome Super dynamic action poses and he had alot of detail mostly in the hands really cool poses I would like to see that in dragon ball
@Sebastian H. yessir, iirc, there's a new movie coming next year or something. Ppl has come with sepculations that it wont be granolah arc or moro arc, but a new arc C:
Takahashi and Shida's contributions to Super were wholeheartedly the highlights of the series for me. I was always on the edge of my seat waiting to see when the next top tier scene would show up.
Totally agree! I remember back in 2016 before I ever knew anything about animation his scene of Goku Black, Zamasu battling Trunks and Goku really grabbed my attention :)
@@vovabars1234 oh, so they’re named stand rushes. Anyways the main reason is because I want to see how does Shida animate an high speed barrage of punches
Hey, don't feel like you can't ever get into art. I didn't start drawing until I was 12, and now I think I'm a pretty competent artist at 16. I just drew what I liked, found better ways to draw what I liked, and learned a couple well-known techniques like the Loomis Method of heads, and now I think I can draw Dbz characters pretty competently.
Don't beat yourself up if you try to learn art, and hey. You might even become a Vincent Can Gogh one day. You just have to take the first step and strive for that shute man. You'll be pretty happy for yourself in the long run.
Even if you don’t go to a traditional school, you’re going to be looking up things on the internet and still gathering information from other sources. Schooling just makes it easier and less bullshit figuring things out.
@@rory6483 Oh yeah you only have to learn the stuff that will help you later on, the useless stuff I think is ok to cheat on, like music theory and other random classes you dont need UNLESS thats career related
Gogeta in DBS: Broly going super saiyan is by far my favourite piece of animation in Dragon Ball. The cutting back and fourth as the scream gets louder and louder and then the explosion as it happens with a meaty impact frame just gives me shivers
Great video, I particularly liked how you mentioned Uchiyama’s mentorship of Shida. Uchiyama often gets a bad rap within the DB Sakuga community (and though most don’t know his name, many of his corrections have become memed for their silliness in the wider community too), but it’s clear that the guy was a nice person. Fostering young talent is always an important thing, and Uchiyama helped Shida immensely in getting him to where he is today. Shida also holds him with high regard, and I believe that means a lot as well.
My favourite animator side by side with Yutaka Nakamura (im waiting for the analysis, lol). Seriously, Shida's animation is flawless, with rythim, it is like poetry, you got the feeling you are reading a poem. Those camera movements are so organic, so fluent. He is perfect in every single piece of art work he does, it doesnt matter if its smoke, rocks, ki blast, etc. He is the Godzilla of animators. LONG LIVE THE KING. Great work as always mate!!!! You´re dope
His style was already good from the beginning but it seems he's one of the few animators that just got better and better as the series progressed. His animations in Super are so amazing to look at, to me
@@forgottenrelics1197 clearly. It blows my mind how Shida is able to go from the animation we see in DBS, namely UI Goku vs Jiren, and then do this movie, and it looks so different that I don’t even notice most of what he animated. Like he just shifted to drawing in Shintani’s style to easily it’s nuts.
I just saw his work on Dragon Ball Heroes when I ranked the top 10 fights of that series, and man WHAT A BEAST! His stuff is so iconic, it was such a treat to see.
You now a man is badass when the show runs for 35 years, and still hires the same man for epic shots, for a goddamn 35 years...he is kind of the permanent employee of Toei Animation just like Toriyama. As long as Shida animates, Dragon Balls lives on.
Shida is amazing but you do notice that he tends to use very similar shot compositions for lots of his scenes. But his style is always instantly recognizable.
I feel like shida surpassed everyone so easily because he had a passion, while everyone else was sleeping and hanging out he was probably working learning the software Practicing the character sheet, expressions etc.
Y’all smoking something thinking this man has the best animation. His artwork is cool I enjoy the shading. But his animation I find annoying the way the characters wobble and the way he holds onto characters screaming with their mouth flapping just to take up time seems like a crutch to me the most memorable moments from the current wano arc have come from freelance animators.
Naotoshi Shida should be much more known and recognized by the DragonBall fans since long ago. I hope this video contributes to that. I'd love to see you do Yuya Takahashi and Naoki Tate next
I came to know Shida through his work in Precure, but I didn’t know he was so heavily involved in in the Dragon Ball franchise as well. Thank you for taking the time to make this!
Im not the biggest Shida fan post 90s, going into Super. One of the reasons is his very shaky camera work and extreme squash and stretchy segments that takes away from whats going on and makes it hard to follow. I very much like it when his movements , shots and angles are clear and steady to capture character movement. Cause his choreography is VERY nice when you can see it.
Naotoshi. The guy with the cubes (name starts w a U I believe) aaand the one who did the best parts of one punch S1 are my fav 3, they've done everything for the party 20yrs. FMAB, dandy, shippuden, one punch, todaroke vs midoria aaand other my hero stuff, and much much much more
Love Shida's works! They're always so energetic! Whether it's from Dragon Ball, Sailor Moon, Pretty Cure, or One Piece! And damn, that Goku key art background of yours is gorgeous! ❤️
0:05 holy shit that's a good combination of classic and modernization. My jaw literally dropped. I know it's from wrath of the dragon but I don't remember it having the lighting look like that. Is this like a re color?
Naotoshi Shida has fully Mastered Ultra Instinct so when he Animates he dodges all the mistakes he’s about to make when Animating that’s why he does so well
Amazing video. You're honestly my favourite DB youtuber right now. Since Shida didn't go to any school, do we know how he managed to get mentored and even land a job on dr slump? Sounds crazy for a non-graduate One last point. Do you think you'll do similar analyses on other notable dragon ball animators? It would be amazing imo
I actually think the fact he didn't go to art school is what makes him good rather then a handicap he was a trend setter in the same vain as toriyama and handled things his own way rather then as programed by an art school which to me feels like why dragon balls aged as well as it did it never tried to be like anything else.
@@forgottenrelics1197 Definitely a lot of other manga became very dated because the Art style became extremely common to the point it became Associated with the time period however dragonball Became timeless and classic duo to the way Toriyama's simply Illustrated his characters with his own ideas and methods instead of being a copy cat
This man is a legend, being able to keep the best proportions, detail, fluidity, and impact without compromising anything. Hes simply too good. He's the msg of shonen animation, simply add this man to the episode and it will look amazing.
im so glad you finally brought up the precure series. i dont know why this happened, but for some reason, his style really went full force when he started on precure, like they stopped restricting him. the movements and the way he shaded the monsters looked so over-the-top here
All I can say is that this guys animation leaves me amazed wished that I could animate like him but sadly im practically a noob at this stuff might improve some of my animations in the future or somthing like that 🤔 heck Idk🤷 Also cool vid 👍
That's it. Guys. Whenever we see that Yuya Takahashi and/or Naotoshi Shida are animating ANYTHING in Dragon Ball, you MUST get hype. (When the series return that is.)
Cant wait to see the next movie of dbs with the legend animators and the new style design Will it blow us away like how dbs broly did? Maybe no because the bars are pretty high Will it match the excitement? Hell yes
Shida is a an example. That grades don't determine your future. What I mean is he never went to animation school and he's part of the top tier animators. A G.O.A.T
When you realize all your favourite scenes are done by one man 🤯
It’s so easy to spot his work tho...
@Alex Sylvain Ah, I see you are a man of culture as well 😌
@Alex Sylvain what anime is that.
He’s still too pure,
That’s why they’re fire lol

The whole dragon ball series was blessed to have this man animating
It's funny how almost every "big budget" db scene is actually him.
that's only true for Super, Z had its own great animators that depicted the most iconic Dragon Ball fights.
@@turbotrup96That and several....and I mean SEVERAL different studios animating it during DB's and DBZ's run over the years
He definitely deserves 3 videos about him. His work is amazing!
Naotoshi Shida is the man that made me respect animation and made me which I could draw.

Shida is one of a kind the detail he gives to character while maintaining liquid-like animation is just impressive
One thing I really do like about Shieda’s animation his scenes is how smooth and fluent the movements of his character are.
Gogeta in DBS: Broly going super saiyan is by far my favourite piece of animation in Dragon Ball. The cutting back and fourth as the scream gets louder and louder and then the explosion as it happens with a meaty impact frame just gives me shivers
Goes to show that hardwork pays off. My man never went to an animation school and he reached these heights all by hardwork and his love for art.
I really like his action sequences where they use key blasts and how the character just dodges them
The iconic smirk I just love it
I got emotional watching some of the old scenes.🥺
Great video, I particularly liked how you mentioned Uchiyama’s mentorship of Shida.

The fact this man didn’t go to art school and animation school just makes me realize this man is a beast
I didn’t realize Naotoshi Shida animated that first part of the Gogeta vs Broly fight. That’s always been the cleanest part in my eyes.

He is the animator of GT episode 35. Simply the best GT episode
One of the greatest animators of all time respect
Shida is amazing but you do notice that he tends to use very similar shot compositions for lots of his scenes. But his style is always instantly recognizable.
He’s peaking now
Incredible
You can tell when Shida does the animation; its distinct.
Thanks for going over these! :D
I feel like shida surpassed everyone so easily because he had a passion, while everyone else was sleeping and hanging out he was probably working learning the software
Practicing the character sheet, expressions etc.
I like how without knowing the number I already knew which db heroes episodes he animated

His impact frame timing is also very satisfying
