@@TheRitzierComic Thank you, I keep seeing in the comment section that regular everyday people keep on confusing and underestimating the knowledge that these animators & storyboard artists have. It's not even funny!

Edited: to mention storyboard artists as well! :)
I'm sure Cowboy Bebop had a similar homage somewhere just not with bikes. And I think some of the homages aren't to Akira, but inspired by homages to it.
It's a chain effect Akira does it Some anime/cartoon reference it Some anime/cartoon reference the anime/cartoon that referenced Akira And so on, the chain never ends, and farther we forget who did it first. Not only Akira, but other things in the world made the same chain effect. Still, it's good for people to search for the original material and understand more about our culture
Akira is pretty massively famous as a piece of animation and so is this bike slide is hard to believe that any animators wouldn’t have recognized where this slide was originating from.
I mean its not that strange a thing anyway, so its definitely the sort of thing you might copy from somewhere else not even as a reference but just bcuz its cool
It’s cool because it doesn’t kill tone for the sake of a reference it’s already a really awesome shot even if you don’t get the reference, it’s only an added bonus if you do.
I love how all of these are professionally done movies and shows and video game trailers, and then there's just Shirakami Fubuki in their crack-fueled youtube animation series.
I almost lost it when I was watching NOPE. Only because Jordan Peele was offered the chance to adapt the legendary Anime and turned it down to focus on OG content…atleast we know he can probably pull it off.
I like how in the 90s - 2000s, you can tell the "Akira Slide" was just a neat reference that rarely to occasionally appeared here & there! And then in the 2010s to Now, Everyone (& I mean, EVERYONE) was basically just, "Hey if they can do it, then I MUST do it!" & now it's almost no longer even an occasional reference, it's an animation trope that just normally appears! Not that, that's a bad thing mind you, it's just pretty funny looking back in retrospect...
I found that Akria's camera focus is actually on the road after the first few frames, showing performance of the bike; the others are constantly on face expressions, interesting
@@matheussanthiago9685 It's almost like that film just used nostalgic iconography to lure people in and didn't actually have any real love for the stories depicted.
There was also one in The Grim Adventures of Billy and Mandy in the episode where Billy turns into a Kaiju and Mandy comes sliding in on her bike to stop him
I think at some point it stops becoming an homage and it's just a trope to do with bikes. Like we're at the point where half of the animators who showed up here didn't know what the Akira slide was when they made their scene, they just knew it was a bike slide trope
If animators nowadays know about 1920s Mickey Mouse animation, they probably know the impact Akira had. It's not some obscure anime, it literally introduced the U.S. to Japanimation (anime) in the 90s. There are plenty of copycat artists out there, but that still makes it an homage whether it's conscious or not.
@@Native_Creation not a good example. Disney pioneered animation, and is still the head of animation. Of course animators know about what they do. Akira wasn't iconic for its animation, and that's not what it's creatirs were known for. The bike slide is an iconic yeah but super simple idea to do with a bike scene. And when some of these animators might not have even been born for it, they could have done it simply because they've seen it used before or even came up with the ideas themselves, because again it's not too hard to think up
Bruh It's totally on purpose Idk if you study animation but i guess not Because if you did you should've known how IMMENSELY popular Akira is in the animator's community

I was just thinking that.
I absolutely despise when directors include the Wilhelm Scream, completely pulls me out of whatever I'm watching. The Akira Motorcycle Slide however, now THAT I love to see.
It’s definitely an animator in-joke. Look at how many times the foot does a burnout. And the frequency is showing exponential growth as if they’re all knowingly winking to each other 😉
And now shadow from sonic movie 3 is joining the reference.
0:25 that was a smooth transition
Now Nope can be added to this list. Keke Palmer did it so cool
I'm getting the vibe that this is to the drawing and animation community as "the lick" is to the music community.
That’s pretty accurate honestly.
What's "the lick" ?
@@BioGoji-zm5ph th-cam.com/video/krDxhnaKD7Q/w-d-xo.html
very much so
It's actually the same thing
35 years (and counting) and the original is still the coolest.
1:31 Eizouken! is my favorite. Ironically enough it's a show about making anime, so it slides just right
For 2022 you can add Nope, Keke Palmer'a character does it towards the end of the film.
Crazy how the movement in this scene is hardly ever better animated than in the original
The original is absolutely crazy, even today
Wow one would hope a multi million dollar movie built around the idea of pretty animation would look better than a bunch of TV shows.
Probably because it’s a movie would have a higher budget and the parodies are from TV shows which typically have lower budget animation
Now Shadow The Hedgehog
came here to write this lol
Uess
It’s not animated, but Jordan Peele’s NOPE did it as well
@PAPicturesOfficial that he did
Now it’s Shadow’s turn.
There is a live action from "Nope" that deserves to be in this!
After the Sonic the Hedgehog 3 trailer, you're going to have to update this for Shadow!
Even if the homage is overused I love seeing it every time, such a sick shot.
The Luca one is a bit of a stretch. But it’s impressive how deliberate the rest all seem. Animators loooove Akira.
That ultimate spider man gag was actually pretty funny. Also i believe the luca one is a stretch but this is such an impressive list that i don’t really care.
And now a black hedgehog has been seen pulling this off.
