I'd say Terkoiz, he movements flow very well and his special effects are something too.
And like Quik said he pretty much shits on everybody....

The people I'd say that are his rivals are Hyun, Endo, Miccool, JustSolo and Jomm.
And maybe teh guys from ZetaBrand....

When we talk animating, it's definitley Terkoiz. Not because "OMG TERKOIZ" but, because he's so good at making things look like he want it to, he's so good at timing, and making it smooth and good looking.

like movement and flow is also a very cool thing but fighting isn't really a reason of a good animator, that's just pure choreography, thats my opinion. it's more his Special effects like , Slow motion, explosions, smokes, fire etc. he makes it look greater than fucking ever!.

there's a lot of great animatiors out there. but Phil just got that plus thing, that we all love.

i think i can agree with endo! his anims are always awesome especially beard ninja!!

Toshihiro Kawamoto. I love his choreography. (You didn't say Stickpage specific)

That movie was ok, but...dat...animation...

Geo definatly geo. he makes me drool and inspires me without using angles (I'm pretty surprised that he's only been mentionned once)

I would say miccool, terkoiz, pluto and hyun are pretty close behind

Geo makes the best animator imo.

But if you're talking full-body animation, SUNNY-GO makes some great stuff.

We talkin animators in general?
then yutaka nakumura

Eh, I like Ollie Johnston. But I don't consider anyone to be "the best".

acid (chinese guy who likes touhou and makes a thread every now and then)
or Hwang In Bum

I remember acid, inactive af :<
Liked his anims though

Yeah this^

But if it's any animation or full body wise if you will, i'd say Sunny-go, Steeze, Haitam, and Creativename. These guys are wonderful with full body.
sunny-go:(we've all seen his fantastic work)
Steeze:

Creativename's style is just AMAZING! I love the flow of his animations and his style

Quote from Shynzo-Nai

Miccool or Felix for stick animation.
Rapparu for anime stuff.

Miccool is simply awesome

Master Samus. You know, the guy who made Killing Spree. He is an amazing animator and his animations are fuckin epic! I love watching his animations and stuff, they are just SOOOOOO good!
