An EXCELLENT animation joke here! Please note that all of this has been animated on 1’s(which is to say that each drawing is only being held for 1 frame), where most anime is animated on 3’s(each drawing held for 3 frames). This makes the animation look especially fluid, but is extremely time consuming to do - even classic Disney cartoons tended to animate on 2’s as much as possible!
Also worth noting is the beautiful flow of S to C curves in the long hair - this is another thin that is often heavily simplified in anime.
What’s more, the entire shot is complicating the animation - the low angle with multiple head turns, the way the hand interacts with the hair, and the extreme foreshortening of the hand as it moves towards the camera.
Lovely animation combined with a wonderful awareness of the skills and pitfalls of the industry!
(This clip is sourced from an anime called Joshiraku, and the rest of it appears to be animated in a more traditional anime style)

It’s been years. YEARS. Since the first time I saw this post. I just thought it was some fucked up pizza. I JUST realized that it’s Sonic the Hedgehog.
Y'all think your professors are salty or petty? My freshman year my intro to anthropology prof overheard some dudebro say some homophobic shit and altered the entire semester’s plan to accommodate three new lectures about homophobia and gender identity and presentation in various cultures. This is to say three ADDITIONAL lectures to go with the one she already have planned.
Important addition: She changed the wallpaper on her computer to a picture her with her wife and two kids. So the first thing we saw when we came into class every day for the remainder of the semester was basically their christmas card
i’m watching an art theft documentary and they’re interviewing this art history professor from new york who was asked to go with the fbi to authenticate a rubens that had been stolen but it was a sting operation so they had to pretend like they weren’t the fbi, that they were some private buyer about to pay $3.5 million for it, and the fbi was like “this is a VERY delicate operation because you never know how they will react to what you have to say so let the agent do all of the talking, don’t say a word to anyone just nod if it’s the rubens, the last operation we did the guy in your position got shot because things went wrong in a second” and then it cuts to the professor’s interview and he says “i wasn’t going to fly down to miami to be a part of an undercover fbi sting operation to handle what could be rubens’s aurora and just NOT say anything. i was gonna have to ad lib a little” and then he tells the interviewer that when he & the fbi agent got to the hotel while he was examining the painting he started lecturing the other people, first on how badly they had wrapped it, and then about like how it had been painted, the history of it, what the subject was and what she was doing, etc etc, and he was like “i hadn’t taught a class on rubens in 15 years, so for me it was like being back in the classroom except my students couldn’t leave”
at one point during the deal the professor turned to the woman selling it and he said “isn’t this just the most beautiful rubens you’ve ever seen outside of a museum?” (because the fbi had told him earlier that this piece had been stolen from a museum) and THEN he said “where on earth did you get it from?” and the group of people the woman had with her was like taxidermy-fox.png but the woman was like “inheritance” can you IMAGINE the fbi agent about to have a fucking aneurysm when this random guy you’ve brought in just to nod if it’s the right painting not only starts giving an impromptu lecture but then he asks how they got it
