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.

Sengoku Collection is Brains Base x Keiji Gotoh right? Didn't he do Gigantic Formula with them too? A wildcard perhaps. Tasogare Otome has me interested mainly because Oonuma Shin on a more serious project. Art direction in the PV looked pretty ~ef~ish, which is a Shaft that I actually liked visually. And finally there's Natsuiro no Kiseki, another wildcard. The staff certainly looks appealing but dunno about that synopsis. Normally these are the kinds of shows I'd get interested in each season but Spring looks to be an all out sakugabash for practically show. Fairly exciting times we're in, I can't remember the last season that looked so good
