>Matusmoto has more range than Nakamura; his scenes are more creative and he can't be stereotyped as a single class of animation. Nakamura is a one trick pony,

That's true, but I think there's nothing wrong with being a one trick pony in animation when your animation style is fantastic and inimitable.

>There is no serious sakuga nerd that would hold Nakamura over Matsumoto

I think that kind of reasoning is just stupid. They are both top class action animators, no point in comparing them. Whether you prefer one of the other is a matter of taste. Nakamura has a single fantastic style that not even Matsumoto could replicate, while Matsumoto can do fantastic animation with a wide range of styles.
