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'm watching Saki right now and wow, there's a lot of Hironori Tanaka animation in here. I like his drawings but the timings on his cuts are kinda weird, its like everyone moves in slow-motion/underwater. I didn't really notice this too much with his cuts on other shows. But either way, I guess we expect to see a lot his work on the new Saki spin-off coming in the Spring?
