Absolutely tragic that nobody on earth wants to talk to Inukawa on the phone

Mob Psycho 100 III #08
On rare occasions, an episode will release that isn't just well-produced, but truly special. Hakuyu Go is a creator with the rare ability to capture that feeling in each of his works, and this episode is no different. Let's analyze!

Nowhere is Mob's growth illustrated better than this very direct callback to the series premiere. Hard work pays off.
55
In that same vein, the walk here is actually a reworked Keiichiro Watanabe cut from 1x1. I'm glad to see it again since it's such a nice walk cycle, but it also serves to tie us back to that first episode in yet another way.

And this is it, the moment that had me immediately out of my seat. Playing the original OP in the final episode of a series gets me 100% of the time, and it's something I've always wanted to see in Mob. It instantly creates hype, while reminding you of where things began.
60
The final eyecatches are yet another celebration of this series and these characters. In fact, ONE himself was actually involved in their production this time and created the original drawings. With the assistance of koya58 and the usual team, they came out great.
61
Upon his rejection, Shigeo shows a pure, raw expression of emotion--something he was all but incapable of until now. All that remains is to move toward the bright, uncertain future. Whatever it holds, he can face it as himself, unrestrained by the trauma that haunted him.
62
This final cut is everything. We don't yet know who animated it, but it captures every bit of the emotion that comes with this finale. To see Shigeo reach a point where he can wholeheartedly laugh is what all of this was for from the start. I can think of no better way to end it.

Anime Highlights of 2022
[THREAD]
The past year was a hugely productive one for the medium of animation, so I figured I'd start 2023 with a look back at some of the works which brought me the most joy!
65
My Hero Academia has historically opted for a traditional, fairly limited approach to action in its openings.
This sequence, storyboarded and animated by Yutaka Nakamura, flips the script by raising both the scale and ambition to an unprecedented level for the series.

Vincent Chansard caps off another One Piece entry with what can only be described as a showcase of raw animation power

Akihiro Ota returned to the One Piece anime after an absence of more than 16 weeks to deliver his most impressive work yet, this time adapting a highly ambitious storyboard from Katsumi Ishizuka. The result of that unprecedented combination is nothing short of madness.

I often find myself returning to this fight from FGO Camelot 2.
Storyboarded, directed, and animated entirely by Itsuki Tsuchigami, it's nothing short of a masterclass in action direction.

I already knew I was going to watch Tengoku Daimakyou, but the newest PV completely sold me on it.
What an absolute banger of an OP song

Hiroyuki Yamashita is nearly unmatched when it comes to intricately choreographed close combat.
His sequence from Boruto #217 is still one of my favorite pieces of action animation ever, so I can only hope we'll be similarly blessed with Sunday's #292.
75
Under Masami Mori's heavy supervision, Shin Kashiwaguma and Zhiguang Liu brought another beautiful sequence to One Piece.
What sets it apart is the strong emphasis on secondary movements, creating a clear reaction to every action. The result is energetic and lifelike.
