Is it high-budget compositing, glowing effects, and photorealistic CGI, or are we confusing high-resolution visuals with true movement?In this video, we break down what GOOD animation actually is—and why the mainstream anime community gets it wrong. We’re diving into the difference between art style, compositing, and frame-by-frame motion, exposing why high frame rates, interpolation, and heavy visual effects (VFX) often mask lazy animation.From legendary Sakuga sequences to the genius of limited animation, let’s talk about the animators who truly master weight, timing, squash and stretch, and character acting.
