Does anyone here watch anime? i saw something anime the other day, and the movie kind of paused in this one part where a guy was running and instead of just pausing on that frame, a duplicate of that image was used that had these black lines (kind of like speed lines) all over it. what are those called and what is the correct way to use those?

I'm guessing the majority of 2draw'ers watch anime. They're weird like that.
As for what it's called, japanese cartoon... it's pretty lame if you ask me.

lol weird like that.... " Emotional speed lines: Regular speed lines are used to indicate something zipping around. These were invented by comic strip artists who have to work with still frames only. Say that a baseball is traveling from right to left across a comic strip panel. The artist draws a baseball in the middle of the panel, but without the speed lines, the reader has no idea which direction the ball is going. To show that the ball is moving from right to left, a few horizontal lines are drawn to the right of the ball making the ball look like it might have hair (but no one seems to see it that way). When used to accent extreme shock or fear in anime, these lines are usually very thin, straight, long and vibrating. I suppose one is to "feel" the intensity of the emotion being projected by the character by actually seeing it streaming out of him.

I love the way she's black and white, and everything else is colourful.
It gives the picture feeling.
