Found this series on the YouTube and found it quite informative (the first two videos at least):

Its about general Japanese animation techniques and showcases some more prolific animators. Intiresting if you are intitested in animation itself. It wore on me a bit as I watched all 16 parts in one sitting and it unfortunately began to more or less run together as the presenters went through the gamut of featured animators.

I find myself to be a very visually oriented person. Do you hold any particular animator to high esteem? I wish I was otaku enough to name drop some, but I'm not.
