Amazing cut obviously, but I'm wondering what the majority thinks, is KNY animation better than Fate animation including both movies (mugen train and heaven's feel)

I think with this season they definitely produced some Fate levels of animation, if not better. The backgrounds in this season are definitely some of the best to be shown in a ufotable anime, along with their CG and cinematography getting better.

The linework as they're screaming is phenomenal!

His timing is always precise. it never ceases to amaze me.

I’m actually kinda confused what people mean when they say timing because I only ever hear it when it’s referring to Abe. I know this isn’t sped up this is what he’s doing himself for it to look that fast is he specifically drawing a lot of frames close together for it to look like that?

The above person was referencing Abe's timing in the sense that his action cuts tend to have a consistent pattern of a fast motion into a slow motion, also known as pose-to-pose styled animation. Abe also tends to animate at a consistent 24fps, which is uncommon for eastern animators. So it may look sped up to you just based off of how many drawings he opts for, some would also say it looks more smooth. This cut below is an example of an animator who draws less frames than abe. (all of this is artistic choice btw, not trying to "cheap out" on less drawings.)

If God exists... he is inside Ufotable... his name is Nozome Abe.

Oh okay that explains the difference I always wondered with Abe and Imai their animation style is very simple but different enough to tell who is who and I never knew why because Imai’s also very fast but it’s consistently fast and keeps going,

I kinda wish the compositing wasn't so over the top. The flashes don't let me see well the animation...

A masterpiece!!

This has been one of the best animated chapters I've seen in my life

As amazing as the final product looks, I really want to see what this looks like without the 1000 layers of composite. Hopefully Ufotable will start posting Abe's genga comparisons for kny as they have for fate.

Shida also comes to mind when discussing these sorts of "on one" key animators.
