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!

I was actually looking for that one!

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

no, the framing of the camera is incredibly intentional

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

And then there’s NOPE with a live action Akira slide

It’s the lost 3D Render Challenge. The “Akira Slide” challenge. 30 years worth of hard work.

This had basically become the animated version of the Wilhelm Scream for me, so instantly recognisable that it takes me out of the scene to point and say "hey, that's the thing".

“If I had a nickel every time someone did the Akira slide on a horse I’d have two nickels. Which isn’t a lot but it’s weird that it happened twice”

If I had a nickel for every single time this shitty overused quote had been used, I'd use it then to end all life on earth.

That's still somehow equal to the amount of times somebody has done it but with a wolf, which is even weirder because humans don't actually ride those.

Wow, Yu-Gi-Oh! sure liked to use the reference, seeing they used it five times 😂
