I've always liked this quirky anime technique, which was used in several anime around the 1990s and 2000s, but not THAT often. What is it called and how does it work?
How do you animate it and when does it get used?
I also found other examples

Are you referring to the Chibi style of drawing the characters smaller, or to the short clips which usually feature this style? The clips generally come during the middle (before and after ad breaks) or "In the next episode" segments of an episode.– TheGamer007Commented Jun 17, 2019 at 17:50

2@TheGamer007 as his title mentions "run" I assume he is talking about the feet turning into what seems like cloudy circles instead– Dimitri mx ♦Commented Jun 17, 2019 at 18:17

@Dimitrimx ah, I completely misinterpreted that. Thanks.– TheGamer007Commented Jun 17, 2019 at 18:28

1is there a name for it?– Kenny M.Commented Jun 17, 2019 at 19:58

1you might want to also add what do you mean by "how does it work?" you mean how does it work being animated or how does the run work in real life?– Memor-XCommented Jun 17, 2019 at 23:48

It's most likely a mix of,
- Human Hummingbird
- Kewpie Doll Surprise
- Wheel o' Feet
- Floating Limbs
- Possibly also Thundering Herd if you want to consider the background or context for the first image
I doubt there is an actual name for this but it's likely a trope that derived from older manga works., most notably that of Fujio Akatsuka. It's best described as an "afterimage" of movement.
There are many names for such, like "ghost feet", but there's not any real agree upon terms for this trope.

The one about that super-deformed run, can I find it anywhere?– Kenny M.Commented Oct 16, 2020 at 22:39
