someone wrote that the apollon cuts are rotoscoped.
Well that's not exactly true.

It's right that they used video reference because you obviously can't animate someone playing drums if you can't play the drums in real life.

but
they didn't traced them, (if you guys are talking about Sentaro's drum solo in Ep.1 )

It wasn't rotoscoped, it was basically drawn from a video reference.

The same technique was used on this Haruhi Clip.

It's not roto. The difference is that the drawings are drawn totally accurate with the video reference.

Just take a look at Sentaro's face, I don't think his face was rotoscoped LOL.
