Maybe because this all started with a post claiming factually wrong things (>>499) and kept going with blatant trolling attempts that whoever was behind this even felt like reposting in /a/ (>>507). Want to have a civil debate? Sure. Throwing random oneliners and lies then expecting them to be respected because "it's their opinion"? Sorry but no, that defense only works between 10 years olds. Go look some math forums and tell them to respect your opinion that 2+2 equals five and see how that goes.

So you're only responsible for a post containing outright lies (you obviously know KyoAni's done 2D mecha) and absolutely unrelated comments with your overall opinion on their shows and how their popularity confuses you. Congratulations!
Again, this is an animation thread. Want to bash a studio for no reason or even post your sincere thoughts on them, do it elsewhere. Joining stupid troll attempts here isn't only pathetic but useless, don't you realize you're mildly upsetting 10 people at most? Sure you can find a better place to do this.

Seeing a direct comparison like that is great. I'm not a purist so I can accept CGi if used in the right way, but a wrong approach can make it look disgraceful.

I've been watching Yu Yu Hakusho recently, and a couple of episodes have really stood out for me; 58 and 74. Everything about the animation and direction was just great.

Both are Wakabayashi episodes, no wonder you liked them. He did some lovely work in the show.

Does he go under a psuedonym, or has he just not done that much work?
I would be up for a discussion on Kyoani's acting animation, but nobody who actually dislikes it seems to be able to come up with a good argument. Oh well, that's a shame.

Rather new to sakuga and everything related, but I'm learning new stuff every day and am really interested in all of this. So I'm another one, I guess!

Last time we did a roll call, it was to do with age I think, we had around 10-15 people back then if I recall.
Any way, I'm another person, been here since the thread #1 post #1.

To be honest we all know who is posting on this thread because there's not a lot of sakuga-fan around here, sadly.

Does someone have a list for upcoming anime film releases (on BD/DVD)?

Off the top of my head I can tell you Eva Q 24/4, Nanoha A's 22/3, BLOOD-C 27/2, T&B 22/2 and Wolf Children... well, today. Do you want the potentially interesting ones from a sakuga standpoint or just movies in general?

The ones worth looking out for in terms of animation should be Wolf Children, Eva 3.0, and Blood C(thought I doubt this can even come close to The Last Vampire).
About that, Gendy's new film (Transylvania something something) is animated in a manner that simulates the "choppy" traditional method of 2D animation. I think one anon posted a video about it a few posts ago or in a previous thread.
I'm also one. So that makes me the 10th? Wait, are we really just 10 people frequenting this thread and talking among ourselves?
I did watch Hotel Transylvania. There was more squash and stretch in the animation, and movement was less realistic compared to how things are animated in Pixar movies. Interestingly, as the credits rolled, there was a segment showing the characters in their hand-drawn form, which I presume are Gendy's designs.
If Gendy's approach to CGI animation was combined with Disney's Paperman tech CGI animation might be able to replicate the look of traditional animation better.
So lively. Nothing that outstanding but the quality is really high.

I hope Kyoani delivered this episode, especially given this week's staff.

Great visuals in this episode, storyboarding is borderline godlike. It's hard for something as subtle as that to be impressive but it's just damn great. Looking forward to 8-9 even more now, since those also had great line-ups.

Tamako had good storyboarding, really consistent animation but I didn't notice any standout cuts, like >>551 said.
I still don't like Kazumi Ikeda that much. Next week though it's Takemoto/Chiyoko Ueno, now THAT will be awesome. And episode 9 is Kigami/Nao Naitou!
Those two should top this episode in terms of animation.

Yeah, strictly talking about animation this wasn't the episode Tamako was supposed to shine at. It still had some of those lively character animation cuts the show is full of and it generally was well above average, but I couldn't spot any especially impressive scene in the stream.
Either way, I wasn't disappointed at all and the bar was fairly high. Can't wait for the next couple episodes.

Ishidate, Kazumi Ikeda and Tatsuya Satou KA in the episode. When a proper raw is out I'll try to spot them.
