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.

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
