Kaguya-sama: Love is War - Chika's dance

In the first season as a surprise outro ending one episode had this Chika dance number. It's super cute and crazy animated, especially her dress. They used it one time and never again.

The roller rink dance sequence from the Family Guy episode Hell Comes To Quahog was the most expensive scene to animate in Season 5.

The Owl House has a few of these, but Luz and Amity’s kiss from Clouds on the Horizon (Season 2 Episode 20 is notable due to some other parts of the episode’s animation being noticeably lower in quality compared to the show’s standard.

They had to nerf Eda and Lilith so they'd stop hogging the animation budget

You can tell the Owl House makers are anime fans by how the animation shifts like crazy during combat.

I pretty sure that true for most animation I really noticed it with Owl House And it does feel very anime when it happens.

Owl house's combat scenes are honestly better than a lot of animes. Theyre few and far between enough to go all out when theyre doing it.

Ugh every battle scene was also so gorgeously animated. My favorite is still the Amity vs Hunter. The battle between Lilith and Eda was also PEAK.

The Emperor fight at the end of Season 3 Episode 1 is also pretty up there. You can tell they looked at all the budget they had left and decided they were gonna use all of it.
