GITM 74: A Year In Sakuga | 2020 Animation Analysis & Review

What an amazing year it has been for Japanese & Chinese animation! Despite all the crazy things that have happened this year, there are still so many cool animation moments to unpack. In this episode, I discuss the awesome animations of 2020 from Pokemon projects to Music Videos and everything else in between.
