I'd like to highlight and showcase two very interesting and beautiful pages for the more sophisticated anime fans out there.
Sakugabooru is like a library for animation clips, like danbooru for normal pics, it's great to look for certain clips, or for appreciating certain artists' works and being able to find out who made, scripted or storyboarded what kinds of scenes as well to further appreciate the work the many artists have put into creating them as well as their own unique styles.
I'm still a big fan of Yoshinari Kou/You for the metric tons of art and influence they've had on oh so many works from Valkyrie Profile to Neon Genesis Evangelion and even the many works of Trigger.

But there was yet much magnificent stuff they've made that I didnt know of and learned about only now.
And it even collects Concept Art of said artists.

Kind of a sub-page to Sakugabooru, Sakugablog is a page with blogs and essays detailing directorial influences and styles, production notes, interviews as well as discussions about animation, directors, creators and the anime industry.
Especially interesting I found the many recent posts about Ousama Ranking and 86, I still have much catching up to do.
well I hope someone gets something interesting out of this. probs not, kids aint got 'nuff respecc.
