It was an interesting overview of animation in Japan, but if you're looking for a book to teach you animation, this isn't it. The sometimes stilted translation muddles the information that is there. Example:
"Sometimes no in-betweens are needed between key drawings. In-betweens can also be placed at almost equal intervals. These in-betweens will not be used if you are aiming for a realistic scene." (p. 121)
Huh? I've studied a little animation and I don't understand that sentence. How is a beginner going to get anything out of it?
So, yeah. Lots of general information and some pantyshots from the Moldiver Resource Collection. Nnh. For someone seriously looking to animate, I would pass this over in favor of "The Animator's Survival Kit" or "Character Animation Crash Course."
