There is nothing called "sakuga" (it just mean 'drawings') its just a word you guys use to seem elitist, and which from your tone, you clearly love to do.
In the words of anipages guy:
>One minor hangup I have is with the term "sakuga". All it really means is animation, so I don't find it particularly useful, and I think it can be needlessly confusing and ghettoizes the subject, or sounds elitist, so I'd prefer to avoid it, but that's just me.
>A sakuga cut would have done that in a much more dynamic way in half the drawings.
There is nothing anywhere that says it has to be this, you're thinking of the Kanada style and not everyone has to be animated in that style, Kanada style is nice, but very few people actually know how to draw using it properly. Just see Jun Arai who is a love it/hate it kind of guy among fans despite being a Kanada animator.
And so what more frames are used? Different timings are used to achieve different effects. Even Kanada himself has used more frames in different shows(like when he worked on Ghibli movies)
The traditional Kanada style prefers lower frame count and more exaggerated keys, but there is nothing wrong with the opposite either, it just shows the team are confident in their drawings. It is still well produced. Calling it "awful" is what I disagree with. This is a work by Studio 8 of Sunrise, Sakuga Wiki notes them for producing good drawings and being well on schedule with their recent works.
>talking about inbetweens
Also, how can you be sure which drawings are IBs and which are Keys? You're just taking a stab in the dark, without seeing the key's themselves, you'll never be 100%. So making such vague claims is pointless.
I may seem like fanboying(I hadn't heard of the show before this season, how can I fanboy on a show I have only known for a week?), I'm just annoyed people pass off good animation because its not drawn to a certain strict style which only they think should be allowed in their secret club.
Of the shows from the new season, Horizon is still one of the better drawn shows(Not saying its the best mind you, difference here.)
I'll shut up. No point arguing in this thread with "Sakuga" fans.
