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.

Madoka was hailed as "Sakuga Anime of the Year" by Japanese Sakuga Community.

How does this make you feel?

I was about to post it myself. I didn't see it on ANN but I'm glad they posted it because I'm not sure many people are aware of his influence on people like Otomo and Matsumoto. I made a Moebius thread on /a/ once and someone told me to take it to /ic/...People who likes comics be they European, American, Japanese etc are aware of it though.

I looked at Brad Bird's composition tips here and it was pretty cool. This site has plenty of other stuff as well but I haven't looked at it yet.

With the way people talk about him, I have to say I've never heard of Moebius until today. Was he really that influential? I mean I've heard of Syd Mead is but I've never heard of Moebius.

he's the most recognizable French comic artist I would say (Hergé is Belgian). But the influence isn't limited to being well know (though he was). As they say in Even a Monkey Can Draw manga - rip-off Otomo and when people call you on  it say that you're more influenced by Moebius anyway.

They promise a lot of Umakoshi-style hand-to-hand combat in Saint Seiya Omega:

Transcript:

>The focus is on hand-to-hand combat!
>The combination of series director Hatano Morio, who has proven his skill at using unique camera-work to depict human emotion, and character designer/chief animation director Yoshihiko Umakoshi, who is known for speedy hand-to-hand battles, is sure to provide strong visuals.

A good looking show from Toei? I'm already interested.

Xenoglossia v.2? I think so, though I dunno if Sunrise really wants to pull the same trick twice

If I'm reading this right, he's saying Lupin might have quite a high level of production values, almost OVA like. Nice for us then.

Excellent news! Do we know how long Omega is going to air for?

>>495
Sunrise Studio 8, The Xenoglossia "team" as it were, is working on Accel World. Kiseki is being directed by Mizushima Seiji(!) - 2ch think it might be a studio 11 production.

Nice to see you blogging again!

Posted in a thread not too long ago on /a/.  Can anybody shed some light on this?

Could this be related to >>485 ?

He says he's working on something "a little nostalgic" - it's a very vague phrase, but could he really mean Gurren Lagann? It was only 5 years ago..

I can't decipher enough moon to draw any correlation, but as cryptic as it appears... sounds like great news (or rumors) regardless.

It's probably going to run for 3 cour (Apring-December); Nishii Terumi, the MPD girl and the assistant chief animation director, said that she will be working until the end of the year.

Why the hell are you guys speculating about upcoming anime from a 2ch post speculating from a twitter post saying basically nothing. This is ridiculous.

Am I the only one who watched the new FMA movie and appreciated the visuals? I don't mean "the animation was fine but the art was absolutely terrible"; I just thought it was fine overall. Not perfect and some bits were a tad iffy, but far more good than bad and some sequences were fantastic.

I mean, there were SOME people defending it on /a/, but compared to the amount of people who defended Naruto 167 for instance there were barely any at all. I can't tell if people who care about visuals just didn't bother watching it, or if *I'm* crazy for thinking the visuals are fine and that people are overstating the supposed QUALITY.

I'm pretty sure everyone in this thread liked Milos' animation. I didn't bother defending it on /a/ because....well there didn't seem to be much point. Defending 167 had taken too much of the fight out of me

Name: Anonymous 2012-03-11 15:12

The thing is that so many of the bits that people point out when saying "THIS ART IS TERRIBLE" are small things that are quite common in other movies that most people on /a/ will praise. At least with the Naruto 167 shitstorm some of the complaints were just from people who didn't think a super exaggerated wacky deformed art style was fitting for that fight, which is reasonable; here though, it feels like everyone is doing some huge mental gymnastics to convince themselves that there's some serious, gigantic flaw with the visuals in general and it's not just a matter of them disliking the style of the Kenichi Konishi redesigns.
