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.

the new Lupin being announced + Ben's writing made me want to try out the pink jacket series. he's right that once you get used to the new designs (a step many people have trouble taking), it's pretty underrated and has some pretty fun visuals.

I decided to upload Masahito Yamashita's bits from it to Youtube to show them off more easily:

I did. didn't care that much for most of the humor or the really cutesy stuff, but it's totally worth watching for the animation alone. Minori Scramble seems like it will probably appeal to me more with its tone though since the comedy seems more slapsticky and visual.
