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 wish Dokonjo Gaeru episodes were more readily available (beyond the tiny handful of episodes on Youtube of various dubs)

Moebius changed my life.

More than once.  Many times. Before I began reading his comics, before I was even reading comics.

Jean Giraud, either directly through his involvement or indirectly through his influence, created the aesthetic behind Alien, Blade Runner, Akira, Neuromancer, The Fifth Element, Tron, The Abyss, Frank Miller’s Ronin, Frank Quitely’s X-Men, Geoff Darrow, Walt Simonson, Mike Mignola, Taiyo Matsumoto’s No.5, the Empire Strikes Back, and Nausicaa: The Valley of the Wind – all of which I’d obsessed over and metabolized long before I ever read a single page of Moebius’ comics. The most resonant image of the future, the one which has dominated both the fringe and popular cultures of the past 40 years on three separate continents.

Thank you for that link. I was the guy who said he didn't know who Moebius was, but now I've learnt of a legend. His passing will be missed.

The guy in the Mass Effect interview states it's by the "character designer of Eureka Seven" who we know is Kenichi Yoshida.

It's You Yoshinari on creature design, but not him on character design.

And the guy does say they have the designer from Eureka Seven but I doubt those are Kenichi Yoshida drawings.  They could pick from a whole bunch of people and call them  "the character designer of Eureka Seven" without being inaccurate.

I'd be surprised if you could find a copy to watch. Seems very rare.

BlueFixer released a rip of it only recently.

They also released a rip of A Restaurant of Many Orders, which is definitely a must watch.

The animation is very minimal but definitely has an original look. Thanks again.

Morimoto has left 4°C

Will his new thing even create anime? It almost sounds like it might just be more design stuff.

Just get used to it, the 4chan BBSes are hell holes, this is the outer frontiers with no moderation. When we first began, we had much more spam. It'll pass, just ignore it.

Holy shit this is movie quality animation.

It really feels like they're carrying over that Haruhi Movie quality over. Though I wish they'd start moving away from that K-On-like character design, it's nice, but I don't want it to dominate all KyoAni works from now on.

It really amazes me how it seems Kyoto Anime improves at animation with every new show they do

I think most of KyoAni's animators especially the young ones are comfortable with this kind of style.

They was pretty much trained in the same way so their styles are not much different.

>And Bach Cello Suite is instant win. Takemoto likes classical music, ne~ Erik Satie in the Haruhi movie or Ave Maria in FMP were his doing.

Goddamn, I really like raito-kun, but he sounds like a total faggot at times...

I'm really love the art direction in Hyouka, that warm yellow-ish/orange glow in a lot of the scenes looks really good. Also the scene composition looks interesting as well, the shot at 0:57 for example

its not such a good idea to apply the 4chan mindset outside of 4chan

Not using "ne~" isn't 4chan mindset, it's not looking like a tool mindset.

honestly, you sound a tool to me for being so up in arms about something fairly trivial but sure, whatever floats your boat

This look pretty nice. I was honestly expecting the usualy low tier effort 4C put into their outsourced work, but this was nice. Hopefully a better quality version becomes available.

Only 2 minutes?

But it looks cool enough, I guess.

Hand drawn, pay attention to the cut at 0:24.
