>Anyone got anything to add?
I would have thought someone would have made a short mention of Super Robot Wars episode 15.
Masami Obari on storyboards, direction and sakkan. Though it was shared with several other people.
For the genga ep 15 had Masami Obari himself, Masahiro Yamane(also one of the sakkans), Ootsuka Ken, Yoshida Tooru, Nakatani Seichi, Nakazawa Yuichi, Nishi Maanori and a few others.
A chunk of the good stuff here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1xRsJgLBkYs

I've noticed they go for immense detail in the still shots over actual movements in many of the scenes(looks very nice in HD). Perhaps this is just a feature of Obari's works? I know this was how many anime used to be made in 80s OVAs.

While I'm on the subject, episode 1 had a really good scene which was completely overlooked. I was a little upset none of the Sakuga MADs from September to October even mentioned the opening scene (before the OP song) I thought that scene alone would have deserved some kind of mention..

As can be seen here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GZiinPoh7FE
0:00 - 05:55 is the scene then its the OP
- The OP itself is nice as I think there are a few Akira Amemiya scenes in it.

Inb4 everyone ignores my post yet again..

I remember watching that along time ago, its interesting to see how Sadamoto completely dropped animation and stuck to character design and mangaka work considering how talented he was at animation.
