talking about "independent" gif-animators,
I think this dude is a nice example too:

Bahi JD
http://bahijd.wordpress.com/gif-animation/

He is not japanese, some kind of an iranian student who lives in austria or something, but I think his goal is to work as key-animator in Japan.


That's totally my favourite work, SHITHEAD ACTION
A boy fights a tentacle monster

It's impressive that he is only 18 or 19.
He is also a good illustrator actually

I would love to see this guy animating for some anime movies someday.
