The problem with the term sakuga is that it leads to misconceptions. Some people think it refers to sequences with smoother movements while another misconception is that of scenes done entirely by one animator (note that this does happen at times). My real problem with the term is the elitism that stems from it. I've seen posts on /a/ where people go "that isn't sakuga", despite the scene looking generally decent. It's as if there's a fine line to cross when you can just as easily say "This was animated really well/poorly."
