Taking that videography course has to be the best thing I've ever done. Even though I'm learning live action camera techniques, I can use the same ideas for animation, and its completely changed how I watch anime now.

Take this cut from Freiren from like two episodes ago. It starts out as a close-up shot, super standard. But it dolly-zooms back to both show that its actually a PoV shot, and sell the impact of the attack. What an incredible little sequence that really shows how much emphasis is placed on cinematography in anime.
