What's your favorite transformation sequence?

[JoesshittyOs]

I'll go with Goku transforming into a Super Saiyan.

I was young (like 7 or 8), so Crillen's death genuinely shook me, and to see Goku turn into the blond version of him (I honestly thought that they were two different characters), gave me the chills.

What's the anime called?

Panty and Stocking with Garterbelt

 

[Gralian]

This right here was the cornerstone of my late night TV watching adventures when i was a kid. It was amazing the stuff they'd put on kids' shows like Fox Kids at midnight. Tekkaman was incredibly violent for a kids show, despite the hours it aired!

I loved every second of it. Tekkaman and Escaflowne were two shows i loved to bits as a kid, watching them when i wasn't supposed to be up at such late hours. It makes me want to rewatch them now as a 21 year old adult.

Transformation made more awesome by the music. Not my favourite example of her transformation, but I do want to avoid spoilers oh so badly.

 

[CrimsonBlaze]

Does this count?

Yes!!

 

[SD-Fiend]

the ones from final fantasy X-2:









I especially enjoy the psychic'er outro I wish i could have those.also super sonic from sonic adventure and power stone power changes but i've put up enough videos anyways

 

[Dascylus]

Alot of people are talking about An American Werewolf In London... Love the movie, but for transformation I gotta go with The Howling...
Fuck Jacob, right?

 

[chaosyoshimage]

I have a Digimon one! WarGreymon and MetalGarurumon become Omnimon!

 

[Snake Plissken]

Rick Baker is the master. Fuck that CGI shit, this is how it is done.

On the moors, we were attacked by a lycanthrope, a werewolf. I was murdered, an unnatural death, and now I walk the earth in limbo until the werewolf's curse is lifted.

Fuck Rick Baker, Rob Bottin is the master. Fuck that CGI, shit, THIS is how it's done.

 

[Alphakirby]

But sadly she has been upstaged by these two ladies

Thank you,I was hoping this wouldn't take too long to show up.

Also posted from the same guy:

Well the anime is a tongue in cheek parody of a lot of western and Japanese animation tropes.

That scene was basically saying "This is really why you watch magical girls"

And heres their main arch foes

Wow,congratulations parody anime transformation scenes don't take 300 pages to be posted this time!
(You are pretty much right,the transformations in this show have no reason to exist except to make fun of every Magical Girl anime ever)

 

[Drakmeire]

Mawaru Penguindrum contains the most pointlessly epic transformation I've ever seen.

Like rape/human sacrifice/child death dark.

Oh my God, I think I love you. I had TOTALLY forgotten about that show. I watched that show as a kid, but I never realized it was Tekkaman. Kinda obvious in retrospect.

Okay, so I said I wanted to give something accessible but there's one I forgot that is a bit off the beaten track but I THINK people just might like it. The series is GARO. Yes, all caps. One person once stated that if you enjoyed Devil May Cry, you have a fair chance of enjoying this. It's a fair amount of CG, but I think in this day and age we're all used to that. Enjoy!

Well I think we can all agree that Practical effects > CGI, right?
Guys like Savini, Baker, Bottin and Walas made these films much more visceral than all these recent disappointing CGI fests.

Props for the Panty and Stocking transformation. I still need to finish that series...

Personally? One of my favorites is a BIT lame, but it still sticks with me for the sheer shock value/"Holy SHIT am I old..."

Ok that one made me break into hysterics, only because I remember watching that when I was back in grade school and thinking it was the best thing ever. Oh and the completely dated script and over the top acting, that was funny too.

OT: Soul eater, Kid's soul resonance death cannon. Happens only once but the entire scene is awesome.

Spoiler: Highlight of one of the last episodes of soul eater

God, BONES did such a great job with the animation in this. Too bad they fucked up the story at the end.

On topic, I'm not sure if it counts, but I liked Good Luck Mode.

Should see the rest of the series. They take considerable time to poke fun at the franchise itself. Usually at Tommy's expense. Everything from comments on why the monsters always have to grow big, to the tendency to wear one's corresponding color. As I recall they even had a fun episode with the three main characters watching a horrible dub of the Japanese source footage and the red one getting outraged because it's all so corny and cheesy.

I kick it old school.

Final Fantasy XIII. Lightning's Gunblade transforming from a rifle into a sword.
