Well see, I noticed something. Usually in the really good naruto fights, the animation gets really good, and during normal moments its just normal. During naruto shippuden though, more often the good animation happens during the calm moments then during the important ones...... is there an actual reason for this, or are they being lazy ass hobo's?
I noticed that Naruto Shippuden has good animation in fight scenes but the openings are very very cheap
Maybe it was too much work for the anime people to draw the fight sequences... or maybe they hired new animators and they just couldn't draw very good fight scenes.
Dude, compare that one fight between naruto and sasuke and the one of sasuke vs orochimaru, and then watch naruto shippuden. after u do that, THEN tell me the same thing. I DARE you >.>
The animators normally just work with what they get from the manga. Things that work on paper just dont work when actually animated. The second fight between Naruto and Sasuke had so much material to drew upon so it was more like just include movement and epic voiceovers. In terms of battle animation, Shippudden hasnt had its fair share as most of them have been pretty just stand-offs and a stall for time.
1. I study animation so I know what i'm talking about. 2. I have seen both fights and you can't compare the two because they used a slightly different animation style in Naruto than they are in Shippuden now, also the fights in Shippuden are much slower while in Naruto they where over quickly. 3. Don't call me dude.
O_O but I call everyone dude. why can't I call u dude? o_O and besides that though, I can still see major differences. I understand what you are talking about with the whole stand offs thing though. even though its sorta sad to hear that >.> such a shame though. naruto shippuden sorta stabbed the naruto series in the back, since it ignores so many things from the old one
i believe that is because they are focusing on the interaction and build up of the characters personalities and goals. the fights really aren't that important anymore.
