作画崩壊

• 読み: さくがほうかい
• ローマ字: sakuga houkai
• 漢字の分解: 作 (make) + 画 (drawing) + 崩 (crumble) + 壊 (break) → animation quality crumbling apart
• 発音: /sa.kɯ.ɡa.hoː.ka.i/

意味

Animation quality collapse — when anime frames become noticeably off-model, poorly drawn, or hilariously bad.

作画崩壊 refers to episodes or scenes where the animation quality drops dramatically due to tight schedules, outsourced work, or exhausted animators. Fans screenshot these moments and share them as memes. While sometimes genuinely criticized, it has become a form of entertainment in itself. Notable examples have become legendary in anime history.

例文
