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 dunno if I would call this visual abortion "using it fairly well" perhaps "using it more consistently" but not "well"

Amazing.

Why is it a visual abortion? It seems that ever since someone has been questioning Idolmaster's quality, you are now trolling other shows.
"Only Idolmaster is the best, just look at how poorly these other shows do it!"

Not the same guy, but >It seems that ever since someone has been questioning Idolmaster's quality, you are now trolling other shows. That is one hilarious strawman you've got there.

On the "why is it a visual abortion" thing, shit did we watch the same clip? It's about as visually refined as a ADHD schizoid.

Nobody complained about KyoAni using it on K-ON's second season's second OP:

What do people think of the word Enshutsu being translated as "Episode Director" and Sakuga Kantoku as "Animation Director"?

Wouldn't more accurate terms be Technical Director and Animation Supervisor?
From my understanding, the Enshutsu is the one who actually does the directing of the animation by setting camera angels, how the storyboard will be implemented, who will be in charge of what scene and checking the animation being drawn is being acted out properly. Enshutsu also does editing and helps with the sound recording.

Animation Director implies he directs the animation, the Sakkan does not direct the animation, that job is for the Enshutsu, the sakkan's job is for applying corrections in the drawings and setting/adjusting layouts given to him by the key animators.

Thoughts?

Because they do it well. It doesn't look off.

Since it's KyoAni's show, it's almost impossible to identify the animator.

Guy that posted the Symphogear thing here. It wasn't about doing it right or not, it was about the fact that it is obvious when they do it. I didn't actually say that Idolm@ster used it right... I said that they didn't actually use it except for the camera panning things. The dancing animation was all obviously hand-drawn, for better or worse.

Speaking of camera panning stuff, I wonder if KyoAni used the technique for the camera panning scenes in Nichijou. I know Gainax did in FLCL.

About the Anime Tenchou thing, Imaishi was in charge of the original commercial: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dm83UPreMbE

As for the Lucky Star version, perhaps it was just done in house?

Yeah, it was done-in house.

That episode was directed by Taichi Ishidate.
He might be the one who did that scene.

I ripped all of them from youtube. But I dunno where I placed them. I'll upload them on mediafire if ever I find them but don't get your hopes up.

Also, Is Masami Goto working in any projects now? I'm suddenly craving.

Nobody cares when its used like that.. lots of anime do it.

I don't think so, he's been keeping a low profile these past few years, he burnt himself out a few years ago on some movie, so he doesn't do much work anymore.

Holy shit that was good. I haven't watched Lucky Star so this was over the line good.

In fact that single scene tops anything I've seen in Nichijou(IMO).

Is that all animated on 1s?
No wonder it looks like its been CG or rotoscoped.. Very high quality stuff.

The motion's very nice (the boobs look creepily floppy but I guess that's how people like them), though the looping motions kind of detracted from the overall effect. I know it'd be tough to keep up the quality for 90s though.
