I want to move away from using the term "Sakuga" as it often alienates people and can be misleading. There has been a bit of backlash against the Sakuga movement lately, and I'd like to think many people come to this thread to talk about the animation and visual aspect of anime, which is something that often gets overlooked elsewhere. It would be nice if we could get a wider appreciation of visuals in the anime fandom without being seen as elitists.

The last 2 Gundam AGE episodes have had some really nice animation.
They probably splashed out considering these were the final eps of the 1st arc.
Arc 2 begins next week with a brand new Opening. Hopefully Sunrise bring some cool people on board.
