no... lol they are not "unskilled". If they are unskilled why the fuck would the company hire them... the main reason is that they want to fill up the 20 minutes per episode requirement. Which is ok for me at least... since kimi is such a cool character.
So are you saying you like the Seoul Studio animations? You think they have skill? Suggest you rewatch the Naruto vs Kiba fight. The animation teams for Naruto seem pretty amateur in all but a handful of episodes. Gainax has done a good job and Nara Studios is "decent" most of the time. Some of Nara's eps are good though, such as episode 19, which is the only episode in Naruto that has had GOOD animation so far (even though none of the CG blended in well one bit).

Judging from the preview, though, Lee's fight in the next episode should have some good animation.
I was under the impression that Studio Pierrot did the animations. Maybe there is something I am not getting.

would it have been any more grotesque if they didnt censor that?
My first impression was censorship, but on the other hand manga illustrators these days pack lots of stuff into images and sometimes it takes you a few second to figure out what you're looking at. In animation things have got to be less busy because it's moving and they don't want you to have to pause to figure out what you're looking at--it's possible they were being good animators and it has nothing to do with how nasty the bones are (but then again it could be they are just pussies).

I agree with you in the part that animators don't put as much detail as manga artists do. Currently I am reading the manga Nausicaa and the Valley of Wind and just recently I saw a preview for the movie. The movie has like only %10 detail the manga has.
