Kyoji Asano's looking to hire animators for Shingeki no Kyojin.
Now what could this mean for the show's production? Could they be having some trouble?

I was just about to post this. I am thinking the same, it has to be they are having production issues. Otherwise why would they mass advertise the hiring of animator? The tweet has like some 4000+ retweets.

Considering how many slideshows there have been only 3 episodes into SnK, I am not surprised. Very disappointing animation wise.

I think it is showing all the styles evolved from Kanada.
Kanada & Yamashita is the core of it
Then you have Imaishi, Watabe, Numata who took the Kanada extreme form to new heights
Then you have Obari who is a mix of the extreme Kanada/Yamashita and realistic shown by Itano and Anno. Amemiya who is a mix of Imaishi and Obari.
Itano whom inspired by Kanada's realism who spawned his own followers like Muraki, Goto and Anno.

I read about it in an animage interview between Yasushi Muraki and Takashi Hashimoto
There are a few explosion/smoke guys that animate completely different; but they have their own style that isn't very realistic at all. Yoshinari and his fans (Sushio, Chikashi Kubota, Rapparu) do this ultra-fluid, stylized explosions that uses a lot of solid 3D geometry.

Anno commented on the cut he did for Eva 1.0 that was mixed with Hashimoto's saying something like "compared to Hashimoto I'm old fashioned"

I think I recall raitokun once saying alot of the Quovadis2 circus work was done by Muraki, there was an event where he talked about his work and Muraki had to explain most of it was his work rather than Itano who is credited in the guidebook for it all.

+ it looks more like Muraki's stock Itano Circus motion. Compare that scene with say, Star Driver's laser circus and you'll see they follow quite similar paths.
I dunno
Each time someone bring some material with trails named Itano, some other dude comes and debunk it by satying another artist
And that happens each time you bring back an itano circus.
Looks like people want celebrate him the less way possible
so okay maybe he is credited on some animated cuts he only directed or key animated but i feel like some people don't like his name being put on some animations.

Nah Itano's definitely someone important.
Just watch Macross Do You Remember Love or Macross Plus for some of Itano's good work. Just like someone of his age, much of his best work is hidden away in shows and OVAs from the 80s and early 90s.
I wish someone makes an Itano MAD but has none of his circus.

Circus scenes in Macross Plus were animated by Muraki, not Itano
I'd add Naoko-san, Minori Scramble and Hoshi no Umi for OVAs. Wasurenagumo looked good too, but didn't steamroll the competition like Ichigeki and LWA did.

Definitely agree with adding Naoko-san, that was really good. I'm not sure if Minori Scramble belongs in an "essentials" list though, it was pretty good but I don't think it's special enough. Haven't seen Hoshi no Umi, I assume it's full of web-gen goodness?

Should we make a wiki and add stuff to it about shows, explain why they are a must watch for sakuga, etc..?

English sakuga wiki? We'd need really knowledgeable people to run that though, maybe someone like Raito-kun or Ben from Anipages-oh wait....
