Man, Arai sure is controversial...

I like his shading, but there's just something about his timing that bugs me. When I see his work, I tend to think, "Dammit, just move already!". Other Kanada-style animators like Yoshimichi Kameda don't seem to have this problem for some reason. Movements are far from smooth, but they aren't ridiculously stiff at the same time.
