Animators Guild

This club is reserved for people who enjoy the animating process of anime. This is an important factor in anime, although most people deny it. A lot of viewers do not pay attention to the importance of a well-animated anime, and they allow animator to be lazy with some anime. Considering this view towards anime, a lot of companies just ignore the graphical viewers and use lazy techniques such as tweening, lowering the framerate and using a sequence over and over. Those who agree with me, and those who animate themselves (wether using Adobe Flash or animating in the classic way) should join this club. I hope we sprout interesting discussions here. Nominate your favorite studios/artists/anime as for "best animation"! Also, explain with a "why". ==================================== Ghibli Hayao Miyazaki. Do I need to say more? If I do need to say more: Go watch Spirited Away. <img src="http://www.freewebs.com/spiritedawayfansite/spiritedaway.jpg" /> <img src="http://images.allmoviephoto.com/2002_Spirited_Away/spirited_away_002.jpg" /> Kyoto Animation Suzumiya Haruhi, the "God Knows" concert in "Live Alive".

The girl is animated in the classical way, yet she doesn't seem to be a seperate element.
