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.

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.
