>Sci - Fi Harry
>Black Heaven

Fuck year Shinji Hashimoto (though Ohira was also in Harry).

Weird taste with the Zeta Gundam OPs, I always found the first one much superior to the second.

Thanks for translating that and providing links.

>>246
That's hentai... though I have to say its animated kinda nicely for one.

Any way, Welcome to the Space Show raw has surfaced, anyone going to download it or wait for subs?

>>248

>>248
I'll be waiting for subs. Hopefully it won't take long.

Space Show subs timed to the QTS raw.

Well, I had actually seen Welcome to the Space Show at a film festival back a year ago and it is a good and sincere film about a children's adventure. It has some great and interesting animation as well as awe inspiring art direction and quirky character and mechanical designs, on that part I even liked it more than Summer Wars or TokiKake. It's also a lot flashier than other art house films lately. I guess I could understand it when somebody slams down its screenplay compared to TokiKake/Summer Wars/Coo, but it is a really great, engaging and fun film on its own. One of the few anime during the past year that I had fun watching.

What I personally am waiting for this year is Hara's Colorful, which has a BD/DVD release coming up in April. Since it's Hara and the trailer was quite interesting I'm expecting a lof of things from it.

Subs are out

>>252
>Keiichi Hara

How was Coo? I've heard a lot of great things about it and Hara, and I've wanted to watch it for some time.

Coo also had an almost unanimously positive reaction from the Japanese apparently, while Colorful received mixed reviews.

Hiroshima Tomioka?

Although I didn't recognize any of the key animators credited, hack/Quantum had some excellent animation. Was a great OVA in general actually.

>>259

Err Hiroshi, thanks iPhone autocorrect!

>>256

Animeblue re-uploading his videos on backup account. Nice.

space show was pretty charming and there were some nice bits of animation at the end

Nice new Hironori Tanaka MAD. It includes his stuff from Birdy II, which I really love.

>>264

in b4 newfags that can't niconico

>>264

Cool beans. 

Earlier today I saw a piece of Idolmaster promotional art done by Yoshinari You... anybody know if he has deeper involvement with the new im@s anime other than just as a guest illustrator?

>>266
It's likely that he and his other Gainax bros would be involved in IM@S, since Nishigori will be there.

I'm expecting a Gainax episode somewhere there.

>>267
My pants are not ready.

>>268
And yeah, it's going to be highly likely now since Yoshinari apparently did some promo art.

>Gainax makes K-On
My body will not be ready.

that scene with the two girls switching bodies with Sugata and Takuto in today's star driver looked pretty distinct. Anybody got a clue on who did it?

>>270
Sushio would be happy.
lol.

BTW, I just realized that Yuasa directed the opening sequence for Welcome to the Space Show.

Anyone got subs for Welcome to the Space Show? I remember seeing a .ass file somewhere...

>>273

look here

>>253

>>272
Yuasa's cut was very obvious, wasn't it? Though I would have liked it if he also designed the aliens for that cut, no, the whole movie even.

Momo e no Tegami has a really amazing line-up.

==============
Newest Bleach episode had lots of talent on it.

Today's Bleach episode was really, really good. Hironori Tanaka, Shinichi Kurita and Masashi Kudo worked on it,

Onigami den trailer is also up: http://onigamiden.jp/

Hidetsugu Ito & Sachiko Sugino are confirmed. One cut in the trailer looks like it was done by Shinya Ohira or possibly Shinji Hashimoto...

Tetsuya Nishio is the character designer.

Goddammit, Iso, patch things up with Honda already. 2007 was already four years ago.


>One cut in the trailer looks like it was done by Shinya Ohira or possibly Shinji Hashimoto...


Hashimoto/Ohira in a movie? FUCK YES.

>>277

Oh My God! Oh My God! Oh My God! This is a fucking Sakuga Fan's wet dreaaaaaaaam. Mr Okiura has fucking returned, yeeeeeeeeeesssss, I thought he wasn't working because of health problems or something like that, but he returns and comes with support of Mr. Iso, Mr. Honda and a fuckload of other fucking masters of animation. FUCK YES! Gooooooood My Ooooooooooh!

>>279
 Shiiit, seeing Mr. Iso name in the previous post has made me think he was in, sorry, it is because I'm very excited for this. About the Iso VS. Honda thing, I've heard it was because Mr. Iso was like a animation perfectionist nazi towards Mr. Honda and disliked his work during the production of Dennou Coil, or something like that, no?
