How Dragon Ball Z Was Made-The Animation Process

Animating a single episode is an incredibly lengthy process and with that a detailed one. So how exactly was it done? How long did it take and who was involved? Well, join me today as we begin from the storyboard process, all the way to the inbetweening, and go over how exactly this show was made.

Crazy how much unknown detail goes in without the viewer’s notice. Really makes you appreciate this show even further.

As someone working towards becoming an animator in the future, I've been BEGGING for someone to show the process to make a single episode of DB

[bros]

To be honest this makes me appreciate how hard they work. I really dont mind waiting for dragon ball anymore. Animation takes time and effort and they need that to make us happy and entertained

[DNDWavyy]

The amount of effort and skill animation takes is insane. 3K-5K drawings for a single episode, then imagine an entire series…ridiculous. Truly grateful to animators

[cond.oriano]

Animators are very underpaid even if they get paid badly they still animate great .

[mechajay]

It was about time some actual did an in-depth look into how Dragon Ball Z Anime is made. Great video as always.

I like how its so organized that the storyboard even includes the specific effect. I didn't know that.

[Via_Satellite]

I feel for the people sitting there and being pressured to complete these drawings in time, hats off to them !

[cerealsgames]

Thank you Akira Toriyama and everyone involved in making the show amazing <3

Man from the looks and sounds of this process, I don't think any American animation studio would like to follow this method. This seems like a whole lot of work.

This is so cool. I love all this behind the scenes stuff. Seeing the process of creating an episode, down to the little details like notations and supervisor edits, makes me appreciate the craft even more. The Legend of Zelda community could really use a sub community like this that dedicates itself to analyzing the art direction of the games. It’s such an under appreciated and underrepresented part of the franchise’s legacy and it would honestly help clear up a lot of the ignorance spread about the artwork and specifically the art styles of any given title.

Was just watching the behind the scenes for Avatar the Last Airbender and it’s crazy how unprecedented the animation production was for that series. The animators had so much more freedom than usual and was even in charge of timing for the episodes. They all seemed to genuinely enjoy the process which they even noted was unusual within the animation industry.

bro the whole process its a pain in the ass

i would need 10 months just to complete the storyboard

[Waqas_Khan]

Best video so far Finally someone explained the production process

0:48 This storyboard is when Ginyu in Goku's Body was powering up

[ezelda]

The best explanation of the Animation process I have ever seen, !!! Kick ass dude!!!

[Schxr]

Thanks for making this it’s interesting

[meherali]

You know Forgotten Relics the animation breakdown videos are great, but this video is just the cherry on top of the breakdown ones, keep-up the great works-loads of support!

[BRKENPICES]

Quality content from this underated channel. As soon as i seen your sub count. I was shocked!
Keep up the good work mate. Cheers from New Zealand. Rip Toriyama.

You can really see how animations, charakters and standards have improved each episode. I recently rewatchted the whole dbz saga and it was really noticeable

[SSMike]

Thanks bro!! Incredibly detailed work. It’s so good to see the depth of work that goes into an episode. Where other people may see animators as being lazy, it’s still phenomenal to see how highly stressful the job can be!
