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!

One Piece (ワンピース) Wano - ONIGASHIMA Sakuga MAD
With round 1 of Roof Piece complete, I wanted to showcase some of the raid's best animation so far!

Sakuga MAD for the Wano arc of One Piece
Wano has been killing it for nearly 100 episodes now, and I had a ton of fun making this one!

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.

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.

Hakuyu Go returns to Mob Psycho
32
Better look at some very strong action cuts from One Piece Film Red. Decent chance they're Sota Shigetsugu's as they carry similar energy to his work on episode 1001, but without the KA list available it's hard to be fully sure
33
At this point, is there anything Vincent Chansard can't animate? This is the work of someone who has yet to encounter their own limits, and we're watching it firsthand
34
Shingo Yamashita has mastered CG integration, these cuts feel straight out of one of his openings. The sense of scale in this scene is aided wonderfully by his application of the 3D golem model, and camerawork that couldn't feel more appropriate.
This episode is just too much
35
Hiromatsu Shuu’s ED for Chainsaw Man takes the series’ obsession with film references to the next level by using the first ever motion picture as a motif. twitter.com/i/web/status/1…

Mob Psycho 100 III #11
With the end in sight, the penultimate episode of the Mob series brings the culmination of Ritsu's story, as well as much-needed closure for the Suzuki family. Let's break down how the animation staff delivered these critical moments!

Somehow they compared it to:
reservoir dogs
silent hill 2
mob psycho 100
cyberpunk edgerunners
ufotable's fate stay/night
attack on titan
jujutsu kaisen 0
and an rtx 4090
all in a single article. Incredible. twitter.com/Kotaku/status/…

The fact that Mob Psycho's character designer/chief animation director does vocals for the openings along with many other staff members says a lot about what kind of project this is. So much passion behind it. twitter.com/59033ihcimihso…
41
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.
42
There may be no better way to cold-open a movie than with Shinichi Kurita, Hironori Tanaka, and that OST
43
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

Mob Psycho 100 III #05
As the action ramps up for the penultimate episode of the ongoing Broccoli conflict, expectations rise with it. While not a major spectacle, Mob 3x5 delivers an effective and enjoyable adaptation of its source material. Time to analyze!

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.
