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.

Spring is pretty filled with potential "visually great" anime:

-Hyouka (Typical KyoAni goodness)
-Eureka Seven AO (I expect it to be mediocre but with some great action sequences, like Star Driver)
-Apollon (NeoMadhouse debut)
-Saint Seiya Omega (Umakoshi as character designer and chief sakkan)
-Uchuu Kyoudai (Koji Yabuno as character designer and chief sakkan; see: http://www.pelleas.net/forum/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=262)
-Tsuritama (Kenji Nakamura with a capable studio; the TV already looks better than C: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PqPHhFmZvI0&feature=player_embedded)

Uncertain but has potential:

-Mysterious Girlfriend X: (Ayumi Watanabe X Kenichi Konichi would be exciting, but it's fucking HOODS)

-Potential for 1 or 2 good episodes:

-Medaka Box (maybe an Imaishi storyboard?)
Fate/Zero S2 (maybe some Takeuchi action?)
