Also, I think we should stop using the Western definition of sakuga. When we use the term it should really be just another word for drawings or animation. My problem lies in the fact that each fan seems to have drawn a fine line as to what does or does not constitute "sakuga" when no such line exists.

There are just two ends of the scale and one piece of animation is farther along that scale than the other, either due to the animator's skill and external resources such as time and the budget alloted to him. Scenes being of higher quality than the rest isn't exclusive to anime either.

Watch The Sword in the Stone and the animation during the squirrel segment and Madam Mim's introduction moves much better than the rest, including the final duel if you ask me. Kahl did the introduction, so that explains things.
