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.

Gundam AGE OP3
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k-W_XRzQlkY

Director & Storyboards: Masami Obari
Mecha AD: Otsuka Ken
Chara AD: Michinori Chiba

KA: Various AGE regulars + Ishino Satoshi, Otsuka Ken, Mutaguchi Hiroki, Ogomori Yukihito, Masahiro Yamane & Obari himself.

Didn't expect him to direct an actual OP, it's pretty cool.
I'm guessing the final cut on the moon is Obari himself.
