Thundercats cartoon intro
The animation is a little choppy but it’s got a great sense of urgency and they manage to pack a lot into 30 seconds of footage. I don’t have any other details on this other than perhaps Nobuyoshi Habara might have also had a hand in animating this intro. It’s speculated that this intro was animated by folks at Ashi Production(now Production REED). This Transformers intro is from the original 80s series, the second season to be precise.

I was in for a huge surprise when I learnt that this opening was animated by Itsuki Imazaki – who happens to very dynamic Kanada style animator and you can just see that shine through in the poses, camera angles and effects in the intro. The thing that probably stands out most to me is the exciting intro. A show about two ‘cat dudes’ piloting a fighter plane to defeat bad guys and what not. Grab your nostalgia goggles and follow the jump for more details!Īt the top of this list is a show that was a childhood favourite.

Nowadays western producers use animation studios from other countries for their cheap labour even so the Japanese studios leave behind some impressive short animated works which I’d like to share. However, with the way Japanese animation works, the individual styles of artists and studios often crept into many of these western works. Something from a bygone era but back during the 1980s and early 1990s, outsourcing cartoon animation to Japan was quite cheap and western cartoon producers would often employ Japanese animation studios to do the grunt work for them.
