I think naotoshi shida is one of those guys that once you've seen a scene made by him, you've seen eveything he has to offer

First episode sakuga reviews:
Muromi-san: snappy animation with good acting (interesting timing and good expressions) and some nice effects used for comedic effects
Titan: some good character animation scattered around a bunch of stills; that one cut of the bullies was good
Azazel-san Z: disappointing after S1 being consistently good-looking, it didn't have any particular stand-out cut
Majestic Prince: nope.jpg
Photo Kano: eh
Aku no Hana: controversial, at least
Demon King: first scene was good
Gargantia: fucking awful CG in the first half; cool running in the second half
why would you delude yourself thinking that rotoscoping is animation?

Considering the treatment Bahi gets in /a/'s animation threads, and by trolls here, I found his comment pretty ironic.
But whatever, no need to make broad categorizations like that. Rotoscoping can look very good if done well (i.e. not Aku no Hana), and whether or not the artist feels like a machine is up to them, not up to whoever thought rotoscope was inherently inferior than animating from scratch.
I still prefer animating from scratch over rotoscope, by FAR.

It's a technique used to created animation.
The definition of animation is really broad. In the early day, a series of live-action images was considered also animation.
Gargantia's CGI sadly wasn't that good, movement was a bit too jerky. I found the action in the first half hard to follow at times perhaps due to the over-abundance of laser beams. Pleasant character animation in the second half and I look forward to seeing Kameda's work later on in the series.

I think he was only talking about the animators point of view.
Not if rotoscope looks good or bad. He didn't say that the rendering looks bad.
Of course it can look nice if you do a beautiful handmade rendering like "a Scanner Darkly".
But the artist doing that is not "literally" animating.

not again.
Someone is just using bahi for trolling purposes on /a/.

Yep, it makes sense why he's been tweeting and retweeting about the show these past few days.

maaaaan why is the transformation scene in lame 3D?
It's totally the Gurren Lagann shots but animated with no dynamics.
even 3D could have looked good.
