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.

Animation Do is basically KyoAni's Osaka office.
They have one director(Hiroko Utsumi), one animation director(Kazumi Ikeda, Kanon's designer) and around 15 key animators.
IIRC, Yamakan worked at Animation Do before.

As for their new project, I'm not sure it was an anime.
It's probably just another illustration project for the next season.

This is one they are having now
