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.

What are people's opinions of the "2nd generation" Kanada animators?

People like Hiroyuki Imaishi, Masahito Yamashita & Oobari Masami drew their styles exaggerating Kanada's and then worked out their own forms, these are like the 1st generation.

So then guys like Akira Amemiya drawing from Yamashita, Imaishi & Oobari.
Jun Arai drawing from Yamashita (and Oobari too?).
Saito Yoshinari from Oobari

Those mentioned above are exaggerating the "1st generation" guys even more. Do people like these forms?
