Sakuga Animation

In anime, sakuga refers to high-quality action scenes. Sakuga means "drawing pictures" literally in Japanese. Typically, anime-style animation relies on simpler scenes with dialogue where the only movements could be a simple head turn, and moving eyes and lips. Then, in sakuga scenes, they spring into action with elaborate choreography, fluid motion, detailed character expressions, and cel effects composited on top. These sakuga scenes give anime a distinctive style that the fans love.
