What are some recommended books for animation?
Animator's Survival Kit is a good book to start with.

survival kit is great.
character animation crash course by eric goldberg is my favorite though.

cartoon animation by preston blair is staple.

the animator's workbook by tony white is good for starting out too.

in terms of drawing force by michael mattesi is great along with drawn to life: the walt stanchfeld lectures.

You need to use jap unicode

nice. all we need now is a "conversion chart" for English animation slang with Japanese equivalents.
When I google translate I see the word "interval" a lot and I'm not sure what they mean in this context.

anyone got the survival kit in a japanese language pdf? I've been looking like crazy to see how exactly they wrote "timing and spacing," "breakdowns and inbetweens" etc.

Japanese?
I only have the English and Spanish version, both of them are larger than 8MB so I'll either have to break it down or give you a mediafire/torrent link (depending on your preference).

my moonrune power level is still weak but timing is just "タイミング", spacing would just be "間"(?? not sure about this one), I think inbetweens is "中割り" or "中割", and I'm not sure what breakdowns would be.

you can look here for more japanese animation terms: http://www18.atwiki.jp/sakuga/pages/28.html

I heard the "How to draw comics the marvel way" is a good way to start with anatomy

but i really need something for cartooning, not sure if it would work with digital art like in sai
