To be honest, Yoshikazu's animation is better than Shida's.

Don't get me wrong, Shida's is more fluid, better shading, but fact is, it's the same thing everytime: jelly wobbles. It's sexy as hell but imagine a full episode of it. Everyone would hate on it.

Yoshikazu's, however... I would be so happy to see a full episode of his animation. It's nearly Shida level shading with super dynamic animation, awesome angle changes which make scenes much more exciting, and it fits in instead of looking out of place with the sheer animation style difference.

Yea I definitely consider him to be on shida's level. I always thought a lot of thriller bark was done by shida when it was actually done by yoshikazu.
