What does the Animation Type option do?

What do the animation options do? Is just animation speed (with none being no animation)? Is Arcade the fatest animation speed? This would be easier to understand if you used precise adjectives.

I tested them out on a computer opponent.
They seem to do nothing (when playing against a computer opponent).

This other thread shows what animation looks like. I'm using 3D set and nothing happens.

Just like that in the video, Hikaru seems to use a very nice lightning mixed glow animation. How do I get that?

Good question. As I am a "natural" animation user, it looks to me like he uses natural as well. Sadly I don't think we can get the glow, because I think he adds it stream side, or it is something special chess.com does for him or other titled players, but I doubt it.

There is an Arcade option that has effects.

This worked exactly as in the Hikaru Video for some time. Now it doesnt show this animation anymore. No exploding pieces etc.. i tried firefox and chrome.
