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 want to reply to the troll, it's fun. LOL

>>798
first of all, you have no idea

second, I will correct this for you:

"Key animators draw maybe 3 out of each 50 or so frames"
3 out of 50!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!
What kind of cut is that?!?! Ultra slow motion cut from Matrix??!?!

It depends on the animator first of all, sometimes they are forced to draw few keys, because of the budget, or becaue they are not skilled enough.

" first, middle and last."
That doesn't mean 1, 2 , 3 drawings & Finished, just to let you know.

and LAST:

Here a list of key-animators that do MORE than just key-animation usually-->
Norio Matsumoto (love drawing his in-betweens)
Mitsuo Iso (loves to be involved in post-production)
Sushio (hates it when he is not allowed to do in-betweens)
Toshiyuki Inoue (Animation god, this man deserves much more praise)
Hiroyuki Okiura (same as Inoue)
