Look at this, Kubo!

This is what we call “effects.” lt’s using stuff like laser beams and explosions. They’re all different, depending on the particular animator’s style and habits. These guys are real sticklers for detail. lt’s not something just anyone can do.

This is the best there is in mecha dogfighting right now. Look how realistic it is! He’s firing decoy heat flares while jinking to avoid the guided missiles! Of all the key animators the man’s mecha sequences are just terrific. Not only is the timing perfect, but just look at that realism! lt’s SO cool! And that’s why this is really the cutting edge of animation today!

And if you watch it frame-by-frame you can see how the images flow together.
