I noticed when a character is talking he or she is not lip syncing the words they pronounce the mouths moves up and down and appears to be looping here is an example: Again they use the technique in running,etc  During magical transformation sequences they reuse the same footages one of the limited animation techniques.  |
| Because ¥¥¥¥¥. |
 |
| A strength of limited animation is that it emphasises the writing and voice acting by making the visuals rather minimal. When the creators wrote well, it led to some of the most beloved cartoons ever. :^) |
 |
| Because more fluid animation costs to much ¥ bruh. American cartoons do that too though. |
| As others have said, most anime studios don't have the time or money to invest in fluid animation and lip-sync. That shit is hard and expensive. Though, there are a few anime like Memories that have gone the extra length. |

| I kinda want to know how many times they use the same sequence of Ash turning his hat backwards, or throwing his pokeball |

I assume this animated in 3 frames. |
| As others have noted, I am sure it is a budget issue. Limited animation is an old technique dating to the beginnings of animated television shows. TV budgets are limited, and a lot of material is required. For example, the first season of The Flintstones has 28 half-hour episodes. I hate to imagine the cost if the animation in that program had been produced to the quality level of the 1940s Warner Bros. and Disney theatrical cartoons. By the 1980s, animation studios such as Filmation had learned to cut corners in every possible way so that they could produce the volume of shows necessary to fill the Saturday morning cartoon time slot and stay within budget. I remember watching He-Man back then, and I certainly noticed the limited frame rate, crude style, and frequent re-use of animation. Compared to the fluid animation of the 1940s theatrical shorts, it looked like hell, but the creators did the best they could under severe constraints. Contemporary anime is usually technically superior to He-Man, perhaps because computers can help to cut out some of the busy work, but I would only expect to see anything close to technical perfection in a theatrical blockbuster; the money just isn't there otherwise. I recently saw a documentary about Filmation, and it gave me a greater appreciation for that studio's work; on a bare bones budget, their talented animators at least managed to create a workable product at a breakneck pace. I wouldn't be surprised if the anime industry nowadays operates very much the same way. |

dranime said: How does their anime industry still be successful despite this limited animation? Part of the answer is that the industry would have a hard time existing without it due to the budget concerns that have already been mentioned. Additionally, I have noticed that creativity often thrives under constraints. When certain tools are limited or taken away entirely, the creators must learn to work with the resources that are available to them, and this often causes them to put more thought into the project. Of course, imposing constraints does not inevitably lead to greater creativity, but it can help. In the case of anime, attention is often more focused on the writing than on the visual aspect. In most cases, the visuals need to be sufficient to carry the story, but no more. If the writing holds up and everything is put together carefully, most fans are willing to overlook some jerky animation or reused footage, and still shots (a great budget saver), if used wisely, can be turned to the show's advantage. It works for me; as long as the visuals aren't crude to the point of distraction, I will take quality writing over dazzling special effects any day. |

 |
| The funds go to animating breasts jiggle and detailed yaoi hands. |
| because japanese animation is limited animation to reduce the cost of production overall, they do not have enough money so they choose limited animation simple as that |

| Reuse a good cut for transformation scene is always better than creating a new crappy one imo. |

| Money. It's always money. The anime industry is notorious for cutting corners however much they can. |
 |
| Maximum profit,limited cost. |

Another side is that the industry doesn't have large expenses, meaning that even if an anime fails, the losses aren't that big, hence they can afford to experiment more, leading to greater variety and thus better popularity. |
| Ill just link to my post in the other similar thread today Basically its a compromise. Japanese animation chooses design and cinematography while sacrificing inter-frame quality, while most of western animation sacrifices design and cinematography quality in favor of full-motion animation. Doing BOTH would cost way too much. |
