That's what I thought. But somehow I can also imagine him as a man. I dunno why, really.

I'm pretty sure it's an androgynous name.

I'd watch Kaze no Yojimbo for sure if it was drawn like this.

In hindsight, I have to agree with you on the Beelzebub ED that I posted. The show itself looks absolutely dreadful, so when the ED came up, it looked so much better comparitively that I guess I thought it was better than it actually was. Looking at it now, it's nice, but not all that impressive.

The whole Nichijou 14 could be a July Sakuga MAD. Holy crap, some awesome animation right there.

I love how the episode is full of detailed animation and subtle movements, as expected from Kigami.

Incredible action animator, that guy--probably the very best in the industry currently.

Nominations for best 1st episode of the new season?

Idolmaster looks strong.

Sacred Seven was quite good too.

Anyone seen Penguindrum, Kamisama Dolls or No.6 yet?

Still waiting on Gainax's Dantelion no Shoka.

>boring slice-of-life show like Idolmaster has excellent animation
>unique and original show like Penguin Drum hasn't got a strong enough animation

FUCKING ANIME

You should appriciate good animation regardless.

I'm aware of that, but it's getting hard. There should be a balance of where the effort is put into. Anime has terrible management.

Freelance animators/character designers/directors etc have minds of their own and can choose to participate in any productions that welcome their skillsets.  This includes Idolmaster or any other project they're interested in contributing towards.  They work extremely hard as it is and it would be a disservice for them to be forced to cater to any one genre or audience.

Penguindrum, Kamisama Dolls and No.6 was pretty good, espicailly No. 6 and Mawaru Penguin Drum

Also Idolm@aster was solid

Except they ARE already catering to one genre and audience.

Are you blind? Let's take a look at the previous spring season.

HanaIro and AnoHana has excellent animation, while [C] and Deadman Wonderland are cripplingly bad animation-wise.

Name: Anonymous 2011-07-08 7:11

[C] had a few stand out scenes. But a few scenes does not make a show.

>>788
Different Anon here. While I understand the hard work animators do, one show in particular that upset me was the show about magical girls under the sea, Umimonogatari? Or something. It had some really good talent working on it, but it just baffled me why they would work so hard on such a show.

Deal with it, nerd.
Nishigori himself is a big fan of IM@S and I'm pretty sure he enjoys what he's doing.

This. Why shouldn't they work hard on that show? Just because it's not some well-articulated or well-conceived anime or whatever doesn't mean the animators could just slack off and not give any effort. Animation is still their job.

Part of working hard is appreciating the results. If what you produce is only ever consumed by the same ~1000 people who buy everything from that genre, then are they really working for what they want?

These are the sales results of Umimonogatari:
vol.01 *,999
vol.02 *,***
vol.03 *,***
vol.04 *,***

The last 3 didn't even sell enough to chart.. Just exactly who is going to remember all that good animation? Just who is going to appreciate it?

>>798
Yeah, we've known for a long time now that Animators get paid very badly in Japan.

You seem to hate this genre so much, eh?
