I will like whatever yutaka does,but I hope it's on the choreography side rather than one big punch or some special attack

Then I have some bad news for you. It's style over substance again.

Wall of text incoming! But if your interested, please take the time to read everything of what I have to say.

Your frustration is very understandable. Yutapon has gotten complacent with his animation. He's always doing the same thing over and over again. Your criticism is completely valid. However, in my honest opinion, I do not think this is an issue at all. Here's why I think that.
He's not the only Sakuga animator out there. There are many other talented artists out there who have vastly different art styles (Norio Matsumoto, Shinya Ohira, Hiroyuki Okiura just to name a few). If Yutaka Nakamura's work doesn't impress you, that's perfectly fine, because there are other artists out there. We all have our own likes and dislikes. No one should unanimously agree on everything because that would make a boring world! Our differeces in preferences is what seperates us a humans; that's what makes us interesting.
His animation style is his, and his alone. And while many animators have taken inspiration from Nakamura's works, absolutely no one can animate in the Yutapon style as well as Yutapon can, because it's his art style!
To me, it's the same situation with Naotoshi Shida. He does the exact same thing every time he animates, but absolutely no one can animate in Shida's art style as well as Shida.
The reason why I'm okay with him doing the same old shit every time is because that's what seperates him everyone else. That's what makes him unique. I want to keep seeing that uniqueness, because no one else could possibly replace him. I believe that Nakamura can keep doing his thing, because everyone else can keep doing their own thing. Just because Nakamura always animates in the same style, that doesn't mean that everyone else has to.
Different people have their own strengths and weaknesses. I believe that we should rely on different artists for different art styles. If Nakamura is complacent, I believe that's fine, because there are other artists out there who bring completely different things to the table.

I think the reality of it, and I know a lot of people that feel this way, is that working at BONES and working on MHA in particular- basically all he's done for the past few years- has brought about this really same-y and complacent feeling to his work. And it's by no fault of his own- it's the limits of the storyboards, direction, and the type of show MHA is. Not to say that the cuts don't have stylistic flare and interesting development, but in comparison to work like cuts in Darker than Black or Blood Blockade Battlefront (even One Punch Man) it just all feels so pale. I can't claim to know what goes on behind closed doors in terms of studio politics and the way outside forces influences his creative process, but I can confidently say that his newer work does not remind me of the YN from just a few years ago. Constrains from peers, and the need to maintain legitimacy within the MHA manga's boundaries (see- YN cuts in MHA movies are always much more creative) are two factors I could see being a driving factor behind what we see today.

Also, the MHA fanboys and a lot of the booru in general needs to hop off his dick. There's a lot of equally talented and prolific animators out there that deserve just as much love and attention. From the webgen to the returning veterans, another reason why YN might seem blander or less attractive is because a lot of competitive powerhouses have appeared within the past 5 years.

imo,top yutaka is untouchable and his base line is always top tier,he is the best at achieving the potential of animation as in things that's only achievable by animation,I love realistic animation for that we got okiura,inoue,honda ((keisuke kobayashi is the next in that line at that level))
but yutaka is the compination of that with the creativity of animation ((quoting inoue here actually)) and that's what get me really going
he got just the right balance between everything

special mention too to,norio matsumoto's action scenes and shinji hashimoto,nishio,koike, yoh yoshinari those are guys whom as I like to say unlock the potential of animaton ,they got the right balance of all style with their own flavour((NB:nishio realistic animation is no less than okiura and inoue))

and yes,weilin is the next big thing,there are alot of great new animators but I think weilin is a notch above for now

but what I'd like to say,that's what is really great about animation so much diversity,so much creativity ,so much potential and I love them all

(see- YN cuts in the MHA movies are always much more creative) Debating getting tickets now. Still, my argument stands for the manga/MHA/studio argument. TV animation from YN is just ??? at this point. Any word on when that contract runs out? I'd argue again that despite webgen talent not hitting peak YN, you still a lot of other veterans (see- hgfdsahjkl's post) that have equal talent and experience. While they don't have the same style as YN, they are just as impressive. YN's extreme popularity doesn't really come from his talent (while unique) as much as his hype. My point being, that yes, YN CAN achieve amazing things (never a counterargument) more so that he doesn't under the wing of MHA. And even though he can make a crazy cut, there's always another handful of industry legends that are just as talented as him, with their own styles and quirks.

Imai has the same recognition on a smaller scale, and arguably just as much talent (his quirk being animating slow motion on 1s as opposed to simplified debris) yet, nobody circlejerks around him 24/7? People care about YN because he's surface level sakuga and the hype told them they should care, not because he's levels better than others in the industry. You keep bringing up webgen forgetting that there is leagues of traditional animators with the same experience and talent as YN. This all without mentioning foreign animators like Chengxi Huang and Korean legends the likes of In Seung Choi and Kim Sejoon. It's ok if YN is your favorite animator- we all have one. But it's disingenuous to not recognize their flaws (and to not accept that they are your favorite- not the best). Anyone can notice "animation got better" and it surely doesn't need to be YN for that to happen.
