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 just got the chance to actually sit down and watch the whole 10 minutes of Asura's Wrath DLC and wow! It's a truly remarkable showcase of these great animators.

Really? I haven't had a look at the full key animator list but I think there wasn't too much correction. Rather, the styles of different segments are very individualistic.

You could definitely spot Kameda's movements and rough lines in there, and there are bits in there that look like they couldn't be anyone but Ohira himself. Then there's some on-model and 'realistic' parts that are likely Okiura/Nishio.

It'd be great to have a discussion about this!
