 And why it is important to your animation.
Anticipation builds up to a scene where the real action happens, like an intense meeting of the eyes before a shoot out in a Western film. Anticipation prepares for an extreme, like how if two characters are alone and they slow in talking and look at one another's lips typically that indicates they are about to play and intense game of tonsil hockey.
Without the element of anticipation there is no telling how a character will react or do which is bewildering to a viewer. Sometimes it may work out, but typically it is better to have build up to a scene.
