It could actually work. I mean, it's not like Sato has the same directing style as Shinbo. No risk of watering anything down, at least I hope so.

Can you really water Sato down? It's not like his style is particularly unique and as long as he is still writing the script nothing will turn out wrong or anything.

Exactly. Not to mention Tamayura doesn't look the type of TV anime that warrants some kind of hugely elaborate directing or something.
Arai's style really pisses me off. I really can't stand it, Imaishi's can sometimes be interesting but I just hate the way Arai does frantic crazy animation, he doesn't really do it well

Its certainly a style you have to get used to. Sometimes it feels like he's just doing an exaggerated parody of the "extreme shading" of the 80s. He's combining elements of the Kanada school as well as stylisms from Masahito Yamashita and Masami Obari.
If you look at his website he does loads of drawings in that exaggerated style. Can't blame him for doing something he loves.

I guess the problem with Arai is that he clearly learned how to animate by mimicking anime instead of doing life drawing. He is like the modern comic book artists that do "cool, badass bodies" that look more like action figures than like human beings because they're just trying to draw like older comic book artists.

Sometimes Arai is cast into scenes abruptly. It's really jarring at times watching his spot come right after another different-looking shot and then get right out again after only about 10 seconds or so. And his style of animation doesn't help him much, either. He'd probably be better off if he'd get an unusually long section, rather than short bits.
Anyway, I'm really curious how they managed to get Kazuto Nakazawa to do some work on Usagi Drop. Apparently he and Toshiyuki Inoue are involved in #9 (or was it #10).
I've been using that firefox app Washi posted in the previous thread and made some additions adding some more animators onto it.
Had to use regular expressions for those names which often get typo'd or misspelt.
There's new info about episode 6 of dantalian, there's some people say that the effects in Jun Arai scene was uncredited work by Hironori Tanaka, i was kinda expected that cuz that effects wasn't Jun Arai Style

The initial thought was it was by Megumi Kouno, she has a similar style to him and she was on the episode.

Yoshimichi Kameda's ep there was gold. Also the finale was obviously awesome.
It's not Hironori Tanaka, it's Megumi Kouno. People have been mixing up Kouno with Tanaka for a while now. The climax in Pleiades for example, people thought it was Tanaka at first but it was Kouno. The live scene in IM@S 3, people thought it was Tanaka but it was Kouno again. It's the same with this bit in Dantalian.
huh wow its pretty interesting to see a dialogue between Kameda and an overseas fan

Too bad he didn't say which ep of Bleach (if true) it is. Also makes me want to say some stuff to Japanese anime guys, though I guess it's too much hassle.

Kameda also answered his question about No.6 opening

I was about to believe that Kouno is the one who did the effect scene, but i remembered that Jun Arai said in his twiteer account: the one who did the effect scene was uncredited animator, so Megumi KOUNO was credited in that episode but Hironori Tanaka not, by the way i don't know why i can't get that scene out of my mind it's so great effects by Tanaka
