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.

I feel the same. While more FMP anime would be nice, given KyoAn's policy of one show at a time, I'd rather see a new franchise from them.

Tatsunoko is working on a 50th anniversary project. Hoping it's something as interesting as Karas.

We already discussed this issue. It's the same reason why Yutaka Nakamura isn't in the credits of the shows sometimes.

Some people even say that Hiroyuki Okiura did one cut for Guilty Crown ep.1

So what do you guys think about the animation in Nisemonogatari?

Heard a few guys said that it was the best-animated show by Shaft.

So, do you know who did it?

It's hard to say that about a Shaft show, they are really cleaver with the various tricks they use in an attempt not to animate something.

Madoka is more inconsistent, but it probably has a lot more animation otherwise. That maid cafe show is more consistent. So, no.

To be fair, Yoshinari's most recent work is uncredited:

Nisemono is more consistent than Bakemono, but it has worse storyboarding so Bakemono's best moments were way better than Nisemono animation-wise.

It was Yoh Yoshinari on Guilty Crown.

I tell you what's going on, Yoh is now at production I.G, and he signed a contract to only work for them and gets extra fees for that. He has to stick on one Studio, that's why he is not credited when he does work for other companies.

No, Yoh Yoshinari wasn't in Guilty Crown unless it was uncredited work. And I haven't seen anything Yoshinari-ish in the show. And I need a source for the "Yoh is now at PIG" claim. His last credit was in Dantalian 1, which was a Gainax production.

Guilty Crown is from Production I.G

>>335
Like you said there's nothing like Yoshinari-ish, but episode 18 has it watch the episode and you'll find out he only did the explosion scene http://twitpic.com/8ofat0/full

But he wasn't credited. How do you know he did it?

I supposed to write he may did it, but i did a mistake

I only know two animators who can do such style
Yoh Yoshinari and i think Sushio
(if you know others please tell me)

Also the way the explosion moved and it's style was what
Yoh Yoshinari animate always

wait why would Yoshinari go uncredited if he supposedly works at IG now?

Praise the Sakuga gods. Masashi Ishihama is directing a show.
We can hope he brings along many of his very talented friends.

Which OP?

Name: Anonymous 2012-02-27 10:55

I'm sure nobody here watches Gundam Age but the last episode (20) was really good, Tanaka Hironori made an appearance out of all people.

He was responsible for the high speed duel part I guess since the suits were disproportionate and unusually agile, the trajectory of the laser swords was also pretty stylish, very Tanaka like drawings in any case. It didn't look like something you'd usually see in a mecha show but really gave the scene a nice touch there.

Overall a really good fight, even for the usually high Sunrise standards that was upper level. Some other parts I liked were the "Buster Kick" cut and Ootsuka's signature pose and attack at the end.

I watch Gundam AGE, episode 18 also had some really good action and effect work from the Korean animator - Kim Se Jun who was the Mecha AD. Still need to watch ep 20 though.

>Ootsuka's signature pose and attack at the end.
Can you give a pic as an example?

Yeah, since the second half started the quality of action scenes amped up, including the new OP, there were some interesting cuts in the previous episodes though none stood out as much as in this latest episode. The series in general isn't very inviting and rather disappointing though, despite the staff on it - Yamaguchi Susumu (Keroro 102) as director, Ootsuka as Chief Mecha AD, but in this episode they really went out.

I hope that captures the point.

I'd really like to know who did the "Buster Kick" cut. Looking at the staff list I'm not familar with the rest although there are some known names. Perhaps Kamogawa Yutaka? I remember he did really amazing stuff on Code Geass, including some really good effects.

Just realized.

Ayamu Watanabe is directing 2 shows next season?

He is credited as "Executive Director" in Space Bros; I doubt he is very involved.

I've now seen ep 20, Hironori Tanaka was a key animator in episode 20. His scene was this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yumvh5UjVHI

Also, you are correct, the Zeidra Kick was done by Kamogawa Yutaka - Ootsuka said so on Twitter.

Forgot to add, I know what you mean by that pose now;
http://i.imgur.com/6Gttg.gif
This general set of motion is something shared by almost anyone whose worked with Oobari Masami, here's a similar cut in Gurren Lagann by Mutaguchi Hiroki: http://i.imgur.com/68JL6.gif
They call it the "Oobari Punch" or 大張パンチ/バリパンチ if you read 2ch, even PreCure is doing it recently: http://i.imgur.com/RsFaR.png

That's just a question of translation then. He is the only director listed over at the more detailed Japanese staff listing, hence he is most likely the director in the usual sense.

>>354
Yeah, that's the scene and thanks for confirming that it was Kamogawa for the kick, I should search up more stuff that he did.

>>355
Ah, good to know. Oobari is mostly a 90s animator and not around much nowadays, I didn't know that it was him who started that. Learned something new.

And speaking of PreCure, did anybody watch episode 4, that one had a very nice fight with the new Cure March. I also really like the bank animation this time around, it's very playful and cool.

He still works in the industry and going by his twitter, he's gained some new found enthusiasm over the past year or so, but his peak was definitely in the late 80s and mid 90s.
During the 90s peak, he was responsible for starting off THAT sword pose, http://i.imgur.com/WGw1q.jpg - aka Sunrise Pose or the Yuusha Pose
In the image I can spot drawings by many of his followers like Akira Amemiya, Mutaguchi Hiroki, Ootsuka Ken, Masahiro Yamane, Kabashima Youske, Jun Arai, Shigeta Satoshi and Oobari himself.

As for PreCure, I've not seen anything besides Cure Sunny's henshin/attack scenes.
