HOW IT'S MADE

Anime Punch Barrage stacks 11 particle emitters, each with its own job. Techniques worth a look: keyframed parameters and post filters (outline and impact frames).

It loops seamlessly every 1.2 s, and 10 of its layers fire in bursts, so it pulses instead of flowing evenly. Start times are staggered from 0 s to 0.8 s, so the layers arrive one after another. To change its colour, select "Finisher Red" in the studio and edit the Colour over Life gradient. Size on the same layer sets how big its particles are. The colour swatches by the downloads recolour every layer at once.
