I think a pretty good way to animate is to make the opening middle and closing poses, the really sharp angles basically, and then animating in between. also consider how you may not need a totally even number of frames, hiding parts of a movement can make it look much more snappy! sorry if this is illegible, its currently 2:40 am at the time of writing

I am a really bad animator but that doesn't stop me! Good art will make up for bad animation. As will good audio editing
