How do you define what is and what isn't a sakuga?

Can't wait for the Garo movie BDs, the action looks very promising.

This looks like shit
What would anti sakuga be?
>>141854824
There's not much impressive animation lately, but that's typical of the mid-season.
>>141855231
Still frames with no movement made to fill up time cheaply.
Also QUALITY. QUALITY definitely counts.
>>141855231
Toei
guys, adobe after effects is not animation
>>141855306
Goddamn I need to watch that show. It's been on my backlog for way too long, and every time I see a scene from it it looks amazing.
>>141855441
i am watching it right now, and though it seems to be pretty big on the moeshit sol, it is actually pretty entertaining still

Fucking Glasslip, please stop reminding me.
Hey boorufags can you add a date tag for the season a show is from? Like "Spring 2016".
I'd like to see what's new from the latest season without checking each single show's tag every time, is what I mean. I don't even watch most of them.
Yes of course do it just for me thank you very much.
>>141855831
"no"
>KyoAni anime on sakugabooru
>Artist unknown
>Artist unknown
>Artist unknown
Can't those niggers read the credits and tell by the style alone? There's only a handful of KyoAni key animators and they're always the same people anyway. I have a feeling they only know the artist because he/she posts the genga on their personal twitter account.
youtube.com/watch?v=FBcpj-ok1k0
I love this thing.
>>141855265
So any Dezaki anime?
>>141855987
It's hard to tell when the differences are more subtle, the few tagged posts tend to come from staff commentary found in the BDs.
So I was just watching God Bless Dancouga and noticed an animator wrote his name in the animation.
a strong competitor
>>141856213

Try again.
>>141856594
It's a weeb buzzword.
>>141856320
The only part worth a bit of praise is the turn around the antagonist.
And it lasts less than 1 second.
The blond girl acceleration might look neat but if you look closely it's 1 second of a full body shot and 3 of smoke and speed lines. The close up on her face is all speed lines too, and not that impressive since turning from 3/4 face to front face has never been that hard to animate. I'll concede that the intervallists did a pretty good job, but the guy who did the key drawings was pretty damn lazy.
>>141856501
But isn't this a sakuga thread?
For a ufotable thread, this would be relevant.
>>141854872
This season is lacking Fuurota.
>>141855286
Okay, but how is that relevant to this thread?
>>141856674
Not him.
Sakuga =/= good animation.
Sakuga = Improvement in animation for a certain scene.
The scene he posted does this.
>>141856653
>>141856739
Baited for these exact responses
>>141856739
I've always hated this definition. I guess a series with consistently good animation has no sakuga, then.
>>141855058
A pastebin and the sakuga booru?
Neither of them are blogs
>>141856775
You'd have to be retarded to believe this.
>>141856833
That's literally what that shitty definition implies.
>>141856854
>hurr durr this animation is literally perfect and can't be better in any shape, way, or form.
>>141856893
That has nothing to do with what I said.
Not even trying to offend or bait anyone but yozakura quartet didn't interest me. At all. Animation in the webms are mostly from the OVAs from what I'm told on here, I watched the main series (not 2008, the newer one that supposedly follows the source material more accurately) and just wasn't feeling it. Didn't really like any characters so even if something cool happened I barely cared. I didn't get that far in tho so maybe o should try again one day
Does every thread have to turn into shitposting, console/company/studio wars, bait , etc
Can't you people get along for once and post nice animation ? Its really not that hard
>>141856921
You're implying that it's literally impossible for the animation to get any better.
Stop being a goddamn retard.
>>141856854
Sakuga =animation
Motion graphics != Sakuga
>>141856739
Sakuga literally means animation, it can be good or bad. Informally it is used to mean good animation.
>>141856990
Sakuga (作画) (lit., "drawing pictures") is a term used in anime to describe moments in a show or movie when the quality of the animation improves drastically, typically for the sake of making a dramatic point or enlivening the action.
>>141856926
The newer TV series has lots of good animation as well, but it's understandable if you didn't like it.
>>141857020
That's an awful definition, where'd you get that?
Sakuga = increased frames out of nowhere
Usually in either fights or character acting
>>141857054
Google.
>>141857068
Basically this.
>>141856971
No, I'm saying that the definition
>Sakuga = Improvement in animation for a certain scene.
implies that a series with consistently good animation has no sakuga. It could be better, but that has nothing to do with this definition.
That is why I subscribe to this definition:
>>141856990
>Sakuga literally means animation, it can be good or bad. Informally it is used to mean good animation.
>>141857085
I looked it up and it looks like it's by some random "anime expert".
>>141857105
I'm convinced I'm being baited.
>>141857105
Is this shit really such a hard concept to grasp?
There's no such thing as "perfect" animation. Everything can always be improved, including the Sakuga itself.
>>141856926
Nah it's boring shit. Would be forgettable Endride tier if it didn't get special attention/effort in production (I think someone being buddy-buddy with the mangaka wasn't it?)
Mob psycho 100 wil probably have good animation this summer.
>>141857252
There doesn't have to be "perfect" animation. That has nothing to do with it. I'm saying that your definition doesn't hold in the case of a show that has consistently the same quality of good animation. In that case those sakuga mounts wouldn't be in the goddamn graph and there would thus be no sakuga.
>>141857302
Too bad it's unlikely to be as well-animated as OPM.
>>141856971
Why is loli giving him a bj in front of other people?
Fuck sakuga, just call it good animation.
>>141854824
just think if the godzilla movie wasnt made we could have already watched rebuild 4.44
>>141857307
If a show has consistently good animation, but never tries to do any better at all for their more important scenesthis never happens, then correct, no Sakuga.
>>141857581
So even if all of the animation in that show was amazing, we would not be allowed to post it in these threads because the definition of sakuga is retardedly specific?
>>141855150
Why do people keep posting this show? Sometimes even the best clips tend not to look so great.
>>141857615
Yes.
Now try finding me a single example of a show that never does this.
>>141857689
>itano circus
>not good every time
Get out
>>141857330
why? it has a better staff.
>>141856968
>Its really not that hard
Obviously, it is if this is how threads always turn out.
>>141857707
Shinya Ohira's Asura's Wrath OVA.
>>141857707
That's irrelevant. What matters is that the definition is really arbitrary. It could just be "good animation" and have the exact same effect, except it doesn't disqualify scenes because of things that aren't actually relevant to the scene of animation we're looking at.
>>141857689
I would guess that the poster considers that scene to be cool and/or of good enough animation quality to fit the term sakuga=good animation=I liked it very much=some other definition.
Lol what. Sakuga literally translated as animation. In anime sakuga is animated parts, while the rest of the show is typically a moving sprites due to shit budget.
True animation is when each frame is drawn from scratch.
>>141857809
It won't have as many good animators on board as OPM, only a handful have gone over to work on Mob Psycho.
>>141857840
>while the rest of the show is typically a moving sprites
>>141856926
You don't need to write a blog post about your shit taste and the new TV series has tons of animation just as good as the OVAs.
>>141857814
>Good animation.
It's fucking shit most of the time. Skipping through it you can obviously see the scenes that were animated better than others.

>It's fucking shit most of the time
Guess there's no helping your pleb taste in animation then.
>>141858074
Are you fucking serious dude? That whole sequence was fucking gorgeous. I wish there's a way to see it without the big lifebar and QTEs
>>141858129
>Type-shitters in charge of recognizing good animation
It's like SIlver Link wanted to out-CG Ufotable in the composite department.
>>141858197

Anon, I'm complaining about low framerate, not literal sliding pictures.
>>141858129
I feel like that they have been doing the same movements throughout the entire clip. Was this supposed to be irony?
>>141855231
CG mechs
>>141858329
The framerate's par for the course as far as anime goes, if you don't like it there then you'd be annoyed at the vast majority of animation in anime.
Henshin sequences are always nice to look at.
>>141858526
>>141858497

CG has no business in animation outside of video games, and even then its only strength is that they're literal puppets that respond to directions.

That last fight in the tiger and bunny movie was CG and it looked amazing
>>141858715
anyone who storyboards these kinds of scenes should kill themselves. THIS is forced animation, not the shit people are always bitching about on here
I do have a sweet spot for Inferno Cop's "fight scenes".
>>141859049
Sure it did.
>>141858917
I also think muting the clip and adding music on top is bad since sakuga moments are much more enjoyable with good sound design and direction.
>>141859082
I usually hate "forced" anything posts, but yeah that's forced animation. The animator has no idea how people move.
>>141859082
>>141859020
Congratulations, you've proved yourself to be retarded, as well as the fact that you know fuck-all about CG.
>>141859088
>He was a formidable opponent
Everytime.
>>141858804
I---I think I really hate this. It's trying too hard to be a movie, but doesn't realize that the reason scenes are in American action movies look that way is because the actors can't really do really good action scenes. It's all about the beauty of editing.
Then it's like the slow downs don't really make any sense? Like, yeah he's falling off the thing, but I have no sense of danger for the character so it doesn't provide anything for me except that it looks ridiculous.
>>141859082

>>141859225
I think you're on to something there. The camera work in that scene kinda feels that way to me too, the way it jerks and wobbles that's really handy if you want to conceal what would be awful-looking action if you shot it with a still camera. I'd imagine people will justify this kind of thing with how it "immerses" you or other such vague words, but sometimes I wonder whether they even know why they're doing it.
>>141859346
>CG are puppets that take commands.
What about it? Stop pretending like that's some sort of problem.
>>141859411
Who do you think sets up said keyframes? Do you really think that you set up a pose, and it just magically works?
No, take Guilty Gear for example, each and every single frame of the character had to be edited for hours on end just to get the character to look right.
>>141859528
Why explain when you're already this biased against 3D animation? There's no point on arguing with you when you're so close minded.
>>141859530
If you must post Redline in a sakuga thread, at least post a part where there's animation, not just a zoom-in on a facial shot.
>>141859624
>What about it? Stop pretending like that's some sort of problem.

>>141859712
>Literally drew every frame by hand and went out of their fucking way to make it look like 2D because they know that CG inherently looks like shit
I think we're done with this conversation, because that's 100% incorrect.
>>141859770
And you sound like an ill-informed idiot.
I really liked that scene from Petite Princess Yucie. The demon realm princess was my favorite character, and her adventures in the demon realm were quite something.
>>141855987
KyoAnifags learn to animate the KyoAni way. Finding a specific animator is difficult.
>>141859841
Try harder kid
Should we mount a mutiny against aers and his fag brigade? He is a shitter that can't even name 10 animators, people like him shouldn't be in charge of sakugabooru. Let's just burn sakugabooru to the ground, change the world forever.
>>141859901
Why not make a sakugabooru ourselves?
>>141859831
>because that's 100% incorrect.
Actually they were animated to look like 2D as much as possible with the quote being to "kill everything 3D" and the close ups and cutscenes were all done by hand. Yes, they did their best to make it look 2D because 2D looks like shit.

Thanks, I couldn't find any info on him, seems like he's either under appreciated or straight up keeps hidden

It's interesting. It tells a much better story and is way more interesting to watch than the Batman clip, but is it fair to compare? The other one is taken out of context, but it's apart of a larger narrative even if on it's own it doesn't really stand strong.
This video is an short film though so it needs more otherwise it would be a failure.

I'll never understand why I loved SHOW BY ROCK! so much. Its really not that great, but I find it so damn charming and enjoyable. I can't wait for the shorts and S2
>>141862518
Not at all. An "average" looking anime would be something like Anne Happy airing this season. Pretty standard art with no action shots, but even then it still looks nice and has a few pretty looking scenes. Then the you get things like Concrete Revolution or Hero Academy or Ushio to Tora which have really nice art styles and some good animation, with the occasional sakuga. The only things that CG can even be compared to is the absolute worst each season has to offer.
>>141861383
Kizu's CG is better than normal shows but it's still fucking jarring to see it in those top down shots and Shinobu diving off the roof.

The problem with CG is that TV-tier CG will never, ever look good. There is good-looking CG, like in the Peanuts movie or Zootopia. But TV CG always looks like garbage, just look at the ugly cheap stuff Dreamworks produces for Netflix.

Yes, it looked better than normal anime CG. But the point is why would we want CG at all? It's done nothing good for the industry.

>Crystal suddenly becoming sakuga stock heaven
What the fuck happened?
>>141862337
>Over-saturated colors and spinning shaky cam is what qualifies decent now?
That describes every sakuga webm quite well.

I guess it would be because it is solid work.
Vibrant colors, attractive character designs, interesting technical backgrounds as designed by Fumihiro Katagai (I really loved Yokai Town with all its cables and cameras), cute characters, the theme about searching for your dreams, growing up, finding love and never giving up, the quirky characters, the quite enthusiastic voice acting, and it being absolutely unknown on 4chan prior to its airing except on the cosplay boards lead it to being that sudden dark horse that does emit a strange fascination. The 2D and 3D animation being of high quality helps too.
Also, Cyan is a cutefu.
>>141863091
It's good for after effects, but that's pretty much it.
>>141863255
Also because all of Criticrista is god-tier
>>141863257
Are most of those even CG or are they just digital?

I think that CG and hand-drawn animation are both interesting and exciting in their own ways and that the world would be a better place if we could all just learn to get along.

There's the same scene done with hand drawn and CG. If you still think that after watching the same scene done both ways that CG should be a part of anime, you're beyond help.
>>141863435
It's just one guy
>>141863628
Strange. I thought I saw that sequence for the Macross Pachinko machines.
>>141863764
It is for the pachinko machines, that's not the point.
Anyone got info on Takahiro Kishida?

Also, how do you people find wembs that aren't over 4 MB? Almost everything on Sakugabooru is over that, unless it's really short.
>>141863628
The big problem with that is that the CG looks like it was simply used to cut down the cost and production time. In order for it to look good, it needs to be given a large budget and enough time to be polished off. Both of those things are severely lacking with anime.
>>141863918
>it was simply used to cut down the cost and production time
Yes, that's what CG is. If they had time and money, they would pay real animators to make it properly.
What does /a/ think of Michio MIhara?

Sakugawiki
Guesswork
get creative anon
>>141863820
If it's good enough for pachinko where oldfag otaku spend their money to watch those sequences over and over again after getting a CHANCE~u, then it is good enough for all the oldfag otaku who want to own it on BD.
Big West Advertising sure knows how to wring out money from all those guys.
Why didn't the Sakuga Panel have a part dedicated to Toshiyuki Inoue? The guy is incredible.
>>141862838
you can get used to a lot of things.
>>141864058
I ought to watch Paprika.
>>141864016
CGI is more expensive.
>>141865173
CGI has a different cost model. You invest more time up-front but save if you can reuse.
>>141865173
Initially, yes. But the models get reused to the point that it becomes cost effective. It's just laziness used to save time and money.
>>141856775
That's why when Japanese people say "Sakuga sugoi ne". But in the west, people usually say the part when there is a lot of movement and the motion is fluid.
Effects however, is a different ball game.
>>141864570
Wolf Children looked bad, the part in the gif wasn't impressive at all.
>>141865230
A full fledged 3D movie is still more expensive than a 2D one though.
>>141865234
Most 3D in anime is background shit and mechas, because apparently all mechanical animators are fucking dead.
>>141865173
>CGI is more expensive
If that was true, the jews from Disney will never switch from 2D to 3D then
>>141865476
They use 3D because they think it has wider appeal.
>>141865446
>because apparently all mechanical animators are fucking dead.
Are you trying to make me sad?Because it worked.
>>141865446
>because apparently all mechanical animators are fucking dead
Don't worry, you can still enjoy superior 2D hand-drawn animation anytime.
>>141865425
You're wrong the guy is a god:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m6Eigpn-fSE
>>141854824
That hardly qualifies as good animation.
>>141865446
>mechanical animators are fucking dead
*Dying.
>>141865476
Lion king had budget of $45mil, Big Hero 6 had 165. The only reason that they're switched to 3d it's because 3d generates more money.
>>141856739
Effects have nothing to do with sakuga.
Sakuga is based on the skill of the animator.
He talked about smear and effect works, neither are relevant.
Those dance animation sequences are always nice.
Of course, what makes them even more surprising is the fact that it's actually fucking Pokémon.
Little children anime shows always surprise you with such things.
I really ought to browse the idle activities and precure threads for some nice scenes.
>>141863435
I do think its pretty obvious CG isn't going to go away anytime soon, and might even be more prevalent as time goes on. Not that I want hand-drawn to go away completely, but if there has to be CG, I'd at least want to see them improving their usage of it. The better looking CG studios are at least getting better at using more relevant techniques like deformation and remodeling individual frames, so its a start.
