GITM 25: Understanding Sakuga | Animation & Cinematography Analysis

There’s been a lot of discussion about sakuga and animation in the anime community at the moment, so in this episode I am deciding to tackle the topic. How has the medium evolved from a technical standpoint to get to where we are today? What exactly are ‘sakuga animations’? What pieces of anime stand out in the scene in terms of how they’re animated? These are all topics which will be dissected and analysed in this episode. On the side I talk about yet another borderline-H manga I’ve been reading (Koibana Onsen) and how I am trying my best to get my head around the Marley Arc of the Attack on Titan manga.

Anime / Manga Discussed: Urashima Tarou, Saru Kani Gassen, Tetsuwan Atom, Reconciliation, Ping Pong the Animation, Mob Psycho 100, Koibana Onsen, Attack on Titan.
