That guy from Naruto, Hiroyuki Yamashita, is pretty damn good. And I think he isn't 30 yet.

So what's to look forward to for the coming season based on talent?

Before that, what do you guys think about the animation in shows that just wrapped up?
- I was really surprised at how much action S7 and Blood-C consistently managed to pump out, and Yuru Yuri was pretty energetic.
- Hanasaku Iroha and Usagi Drop were good all around.
- The last couple IM@S episodes were kind of low key, but A-1 really stepped it up for the dancing parts.
- Steins;Gate, Kamisama Dolls, T&B were kind of derpy sometimes, but they had their moments.
- No. 6 and UtaPri weren't so derpy but were good when it mattered
- Penguindrum jumps around a lot, overall it's interesting

There's too much trolling going around on /a/.
What did you guys think of Fate/Zero?

concerning F/Z
-The storyboarding is very competent, its basically the strongest aspect just like with Kara no Kyoukai. Its very meticulous and detailed, the scene composition and layouts in general are excellent. Although most of the episode was just exposition and dialogue, it built tension extremely well so the mass summoning at the end worked nicely as a climax for the episode.
-The actual animation is....well its okay. The animation is basically using the storyboards as a crutch, as such there weren't any notable cuts for the entire episode. Though its not really a big deal since none of us expect anything amazing outside of fights animation wise.
-Speaking of fights, my biggest concern is Berserker. He gets the best fights in F/Z and is the center for a lot of the action. I'm not really happy with him being CGI'd but I suppose they'll pull and Envy from FMA Brotherhood and have him be CGI for most of the series with bits and pieces animated traditionally. I'm still more apprehensive about the black mist around him, in the OP he looked like an indiscernible black blob and that'll probably hurt a lot of action scenes if they continue to take such liberal methods of animating the mist.
-Otherwise the use of CG was alright, though the CG wine Tohsaka held at the beginning was a bit much.
those are my two cents about the episode, hopefully we get some well animated action out of this.

I think the storyboard and layouts in F/Z are kinda uninteresting.
It's just my opinion, though.

Guity Crown is interesting.
One of the chief animation directors is from Ordet.
Un-Go is worth check out, too.

I didn't watch much from Spring/Summer but I generally agree with what you've said.
Though for Hanasaku, I felt some of the art direction could have been brushed up, it felt very plain and simple.

Really for FZ, I think what they did with episode 1 was to get all the boring and tedious setting up out of the way in one episode, then from episode 2 and onwards they can go at a different pace.

U got a point there, i really learned a lot from episode one and now i know who's the fuck is that and what the fuck is this, i liked the animation and the way they handle CGI, of course Yuki Kajiura music was epic and fit the whole atmosphere

If anything else, I was surprised at the many great faces that appeared in Usagi Drop. From Okiura down to Kazuto Nakazawa, it was certainly one memorable show in that department.
I'm surprised lots of Sakufest shows like Dog Days and Sacred Seven are completely overlooked by this thread..

Huh? People just talked about Sacred Seven a few posts ago. And Dog Days is ignored because even if it has a few well-animated scenes, it is overall very fucking ugly, which is pretty much what anyone would expect from a Seven Arcs production.

yeah Dog Days somehow made whatever good cuts it had look like complete shit. Also hahaha oh wow at using Kou Yoshinari for a concert scene. Fuck you Seven Arcs
and Sacred Seven was a sakufest for like maybe 3 episodes. The 2nd half of the show and especially the finale were terrible animation wise. Its like they splurged all their money into the first couple episodes.

I dunno, the only thing I clearly remember from S7 was the 2nd OP and yama's transformation cut in ep 8 (?).

I wonder how much freedom Sushio will be given with his Idolm@ster episode art-wise. The show has made the effort to draw the girls as cute and appealing as possible; I'm certain Sushio can draw cute girls perfectly fine, he has done so plenty of times in the past, but I wonder if it will look 100% unmistakeably Sushio like Kittan Zero, Panty 1B or Gurren 15.
