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.

They just looped them for that video; the actual ending has stylized stills with the character's names... just like you would expect from a Suzuki ED.

I think people may have become a little too quick to assume that any competently made animation is rotoscoping.

Looks like he's one of those animators who have a really good background in life drawing and figure drawing.

I dunno, people wouldn't mistake Imaishi, Ohira or Sushio animation for rotoscope and they're more than just "competent". Suzuki just has a more... realistic, in terms of movement and proportions, style than most. You can really tell that he dominates the 3D space in what I consider his best work, the first E7 ED.

>Imaishi, Ohira or Sushio
Well, these guys rely on bending & exaggerating realism to get their stylish looks. So generally they can't be confused for something looking realistic.

Some effect animation looks somewhat western-ish.

Shinji Hashimoto's animation can probably count as being somewhat more realistic, I dunno. At least more so than latter-day Ohira, that is.

Well, yeah, I meant in terms of realistic animation (or at least, not overtly exaggerated stuff like Imaishi or Ohira). Pretty much everytime there was a nice, relatively long dance scene in IM@S, a bunch of people would shout "ROTOSCOPE! ROTOSCOPE!" even if there was no evidence to suggest that any rotoscoping was actually done.

That's the video bahijd posted, right? It's pretty great.

The amount of people I've seen attribute excellent, skillful animation to rotoscoping (hell, even non-remarkable animation) when it clearly isn't rotoscoped has reached a point where frankly I hit my ejector seat the moment rotoscoping is even mentioned in an animation discussion.

So is High School DxD worth watching, if only for Norimitsu Suzuki's ED?

>>93 actually it was first tweeted by Naoki Yoshibe aka Yotube aka Luckgaki. Bahi retweeted, and Yotube retweeted Bahi's retweet tweet again. Tweetception!!
I think he is a very close friend of bahi jd.

looks like Anime News Network doesn't know much about Yotube.
http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/encyclopedia/people.php?id=87512
he did a lot more genga according to his website.

Also, he published a Doujin on C81.

Anyway, Sugimoto's animation was pretty nice indeed

Interesting insight.

Its certainly hard for a talented animator not to praise KyoAni's animation work.
Though I somewhat agree that perhaps a little bit more uniqueness should have been allowed to flow into K-On, they did it in Lucky Star and Nichijou, but there were never really any crazy or unique scenes in K-On(not any that I can recall)

-DxD's ending
-Nise's Karen Bee OP
-Kill Me Baby's OP

Anything else this season that is worth mentioning in terms of animation so far?

Name: Anonymous 2012-01-17 8:22

The 2nd episode of Nise had some good animation with Karen an Araragi jumping about.

If you count long running shows, Bleach's new ending was really nice, solo work by Masashi Kudo

Naruto Shippuuden's new ending was nice too, another solo effort, by Shingo Yamashita this time.

IIRC, Naoki Tate also had a cut in a recent One Piece episode (530 was it?)

Eh, I don't think Kill Me Baby's OP was anything really special. Guilty Crown and Gundam Age might have some interesting OP/ED's when they debut soon.

>>104

GC's first OP wasn't anything special and I doubt the second OP will be. GC as a whole hasn't been anything special since episode 6, actually. Episodes 11 and 12 were their "chances" at having a big climatic animation-driven finale and they were both extremely standard and with almost no stand-outs.

Milky Holmes 2 OP got the best animation so far

Name: Anonymous 2012-01-19 13:15

Just watched the Basara movie.

Are they just going to give Yasuhiro Aoki random AD'ing and animating jobs from now on?

At least they let him do the movie's OP, which was kinda cool.

A lot of MADs need updating, especially ones from before 2007-2008.

Such blurring and pixelation in some of them you can't see anything.
