BANK animation, typically just referred to as '''BANK''', is an instance of partial or wholesale animation re-use in a 2D animated production,<ref name=IwaneCitation>[https://web.archive.org/web/20231211153755/https://twitter.com/animator1965/status/1405885886345093131 Pokémon animator Masaaki Iwane defining the term BANK on Twitter.]</ref><ref name=IwaneCitationMarshmallow>[https://web.archive.org/web/20231211153930/https://marshmallow-qa.com/messages/421946cc-cd25-4eaf-bbb6-3e572000f473?utm_medium=twitter&utm_source=answer Pokémon animator Masaaki Iwane using the term BANK in response to a question on Marshmallow.]</ref><ref name=TagakiCitation>[https://web.archive.org/web/20231211154111/https://twitter.com/hamohamohamo/status/1108647396827779072 Pokémon director Hiroaki Takagi referencing the term BANK in a conversation on Twitter.]</ref> whether that be direct re-use of the original animation, or by tracing existing animation to be used again.<ref name=SakugaBooruTags>[https://sakugabooru.com/wiki/show?title=tag_guidelines Reference to the tags of SakugaBooru, which is the home for highly praised animation within the Japanese industry.

Additionally, the context of what defines a storyboard may change depending on where the production is held. For instance, western artists may refer to storyboards and layouts interchangeably, including use of the term '''animatic.'''<ref name=Animatic></ref>
