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 agree with you on some points, but you've got him totally wrong.

Someone just took a few words and put them on 4chan, the whole context is missing.

What Bahi was talking about are animes like Akira, Ghost in the Shell, Jin-Roh, FLCL, Mononoke Hime,  Mind Game and many others. (I know these are one of his favourites since he mentions them a lot)

It is not wrong to aim on a small community, but the problem is, the majority of the anime industry is currently aiming on this small community.

Anime once used to be for everyone, but now it's only for the otakus.


Bahi was talking about this on Anipages, he's probably surprised that it landed on 4chan, I think if he knew this would happen, he would have added some few other words to that quote to make it clear.
