Each segment of action properly escalates the one preceding it, reaching a great climax by the end of the episode. They don't overstay their welcome and break up the pace of action well. The flashbacks come at just the right moment for some cooldown after a barrage of attacks.
NARUTO VS PAIN FIGHT SCENE SERIES
The result is a series of fancy drawings and movements that resemble chaos that flatlines instead of a well paced exchange of blows that really create a believable power struggle.

Instead of highs and lows to increase the tension of a fight, the common route is to saturate the screen with non-stop action for the duration of the battle. It feels like a lot of the fights we get simply default to spectacle rather than focused direction. Okay so the animation is great, but so is a lot of key fights in a lot of animated shonen right? Well sure, but there's a lot to take into consideration.

Tell me you didn't feel every damn bone shatter when Naruto slams Sasuke into the cliffside. Norio Matsumoto's animation loosens up the character models to pull out some truly great sense of movement, weight, and impact. The choreography is brilliant, each action leading the eye for the next shot.
NARUTO VS PAIN FIGHT SCENE FULL
After moments to get your bearings, the fight begins full throttle. The colors darker, the lighting pronounced and nothing but rumbling. So the moment 133 starts, it immediately feels different. That kid who you looked down on has not only caught up, but likely surpassed you through his diligence and hard work. A lot of Shonen, (and I guess general anime) get caught up in shaking the camera, fancy effects and fast movement as the checkboxes that create an "epic fight" when in reality it simply dilutes any possible tension it so sorely needs. It's not always about the fanciest, fastest animation possible. As a result, the following blow and impact are felt immensely. Every wind up to an attack is given the proper pacing and set up. What's so successful about Norio's animation and the direction and storyboarding that went with it, is that there is never a moment of confusion or question as to what is happening on screen. Who has the upper hand here? Where is the weight, cause and effect of each blow? Where is my eye supposed to look. It's a flatly paced spectacle tug of war. But it all feels like flash over substance. These shots look super impressive and technically at the top of their field. See these are great examples of what I mention in the OP.ĭon't get me wrong.
