So I don't ever really want to be pegged as that anime/manga girl - but I was reading volume 30 of Eyeshield 21 today and I thought that, from an animation perspective, it was definitely worth sharing.

Yusuke Murata works some serious magic in terms of action sequences and posing. The comic is about American style high school football played in Japan - so 90% of the comic itself is football games - a topic I have no particular interest in, mind you, but this comic makes me love it. :) Check out some of the posing - and if you ever get the chance, flip through a copy of it in the bookstore and see what wisdom you can glean in terms of strong, emotional, action-oriented posing.
