The general meaning just refers to drawings used in anime, but for threads like this, and in Japan, its often used to refer to scenes or drawings in anime with very high quality, be it in the detail of the art or the really good fluidity of the movement.
Episode 11: “Private Applications of Cybodies”
{nearly identical to the last one}
Enokido Youji – Fuchigami Makoto – Kaneko Shingo – Haga Hitoshi
Episode 12: “A Kiss Thorough the Glass”
As a result of Simone’s defeat, Adult Bank is forced into a corner. For the sake of the new world she herself is aiming at, Kanako thinks to take down Takuto, the obstacle to her plans, with her own hands. Even though she worries that she might kill him if she fights all out for real, several days later Kanako pilots the Cybody Betreida.
Enokido Youji – Iwasaki Tarou – Iwasaki Tarou – Sasaki Atsuko
Episode 13: “The Lovestruck Red Sword”
One Sunday morning, the most accomplished swordsman in the school, Benio Shinada, appears at Sugata’s house, proposing fencing practice. Sugata recommends that she practice with Takuto, and Benio beats him handily.
Enokido Youji – Takahashi Kenji? – Ikezoe Takahiro – Ito Hideki, Komori Shigehiro?, Inadome Kazumi
but since there are not animation thread existed, most of us end up in sakuga thread

Oh right, I just assumed both animation and drawing fell under the same term. Because when people post "Sakuga MAD" you usually have really nice animated scenes from anime.

The word 'sakuga' itself literally mean drawing but when people talking about sakuga, they always refer to the animation.

Nowadays "sakuga" goes for both animation and art. It's one of those words, not unlike "moe", whose original meaning got twisted. Better just accept it, really.

Ok, and what about the "Kanada" style?
Is it some style of Sakuga?

Refers to the animator who pioneered the wacky and extreme style of animation, but also managed to do it using a fewer number of frames or something. Basically made producing anime cheaper but still could have style.
The most common modern examples are perhaps scenes from FLCL or Gurren Lagann.

Kanada is well-known for his highly dynamic timing.
Some drawing may lasts for 4 frames while the next drawing may last only 1 frame.
This allows his animation to has a really good weight and impact while using a fewer number of frames.
His drawing is very over-exaggerated, he packs a lot of action and detail into 1 frame.

I've always thought of Takeshi Koike as part of the Kanada-school of animation, but I guess I was wrong. He just has a similar style to Hiroyuki Imaishi.

Any upcoming anime worth watching from a Sakuga perspective? I know the recent Bleach movie has Hironori Tanaka on it storyboarding several key scenes.

Wasn't Tanaka being involved in Bleach movie 4 only a rumor?
And for my money I think you might want to check out IS. It's by Satelight/8-bit, so it'd have high production values. Gosick too, if only because Bones.

>Wasn't Tanaka being involved in Bleach movie 4 only a rumor?
Perhaps it was, but having looked at some of the trailers and preview footage, it does have a Tanaka flair to it in places...
The only credit I've seen for 8-bit is the second Evangelion film.
And these days Satelight are not all that great after their best animators who worked on Noein left, they havent been the same.
Don't quote me on this but I believe 8-bit are made up of those who left after Noein..

8-bit is a Satelight splinter from their Osaka branch, iirc, and they're credited for major work on the first Macross F film. It was good work.
Anyway, I might have to check out Bleach movie 4 then, if only because Tanaka could be in it. One DEEN show actually has Masashi Ishihama onboard--Dragon Crisis, I think--and that should be worth checking out. Also, that Shaft show, Madoka Magica.

I enjoyed the new scenes in the Macross F movie, however at the same time there was quite a few jarring moments, one I can recall really well is a scene where the background is animated in motion, and when the background stops moving they switch the background to a generic CG background and the transition is just so jarring.

I see. Yeah, the Japanese still can't do CG integration like that very well yet, but I think that's just because of industry conditions. Overall, I thought the Macross F film was nice to watch. At least it wasn't Gonzo-level CG.
People should be back once the final episode of Panty & Stocking airs. I'm hoping to get my mind blown this time, since it's the core team's episode--though I'd like there to be a Miyazawa climax in it somewhere.

Oh damn. Yoshinari wasn't able to come on the livestream sometime ago because of his work on the finale. They must be busting their asses off for this one.

Details from today's Gainax's live commentary:
-The production for final episode is completed.
-Sushio, Animation Director of the final episode, is really fucking exhausted; he hasn't bathed in a week, they say. However, he says that he is really proud of his work and that he is expecting to WOW people in the same in which he WOW-ed people with Gurren episode 15.
-They flat out called the Demon Sisters' scene 百合 (Yuri).
-To make up for the recap episode, they're going to add a BD/DVD-exclusive episode on the final BD release.
-The DJ at the Rock Foundation party is Taku Takahashi drawn in P&S style.
-Brief's VA said that while playing Brief in episode 12B, he made sure to feel like if he was "piloting a Gundam".
-The staff actually checks out Pixiv's fanart; they were happy when they saw today's top 10.
-To make sure to draw Panty's feelings accuratedly, all the scenes with Briefers and Panty were left to the female animators.
-They're releasing an art-book at the Talk Live Animated event.
Wakabayashi and Nishigori are looking forward to the doujinshi fans come up with for C79: "Please work hard, everyone!"

So what did everyone think about PSG's final episode's animation?

FACT #1: The White race has crossed seas, harnessed rivers, carved mountains, tamed deserts, and colonized the most barren icefields. It has been responsible for the invention of the printing press, cement, the harnessing of electricity, flight, rocketry, astronomy, the telescope, space travel, firearms, the transistor, radio, television, the telephone, the lightbulb, photography, motion pictures, the phonograph, the electric battery, the automobile, the steam engine, railroad transportation, the microscope, computers, and millions of other technological miracles. It has discovered countless medical advances, incredible applications, scientific progress, etc. Its members have included such greats as Socrates, Aristotle, Plato, Homer, Tacitus, Julius Ceaser, Napoleon, William the Conqueror, Marco Polo, Washington, Jefferson, Hitler, Bach, Beethoven, Mozart, Magellan, Columbus, Cabot, Edison, Graham-Bell, Pasteur, Leeuwenhoek, Mendel, Darwin, Newton, Galileo, Watt, Ford, Luther, Davinci, Poe, Tennyson, and thousands upon thousands of other notable achievers.
FACT #2: Throughout 6,000 years of recorded history, the Black African Negro has invented nothing. Not a written language, weaved cloth, a calendar, a plow, a road, a bridge, a railway, a ship, a system of measurement, or even the wheel. (Note: This is in reference to the pure-blooded Negro.) He is not known to have ever cultivated a single crop or domesticated a single animal for his own use (although many powerful and docile beasts abounded around him.) His only known means of transporting goods was on the top of his hard burry head. For shelter he never progressed beyond the common mud hut, the construction of which a beaver or muskrat is capable.

Electrifying, but I found it slightly weaker than TTGL #15 or #27.
