Bahi jd and Madhouse?!

great news man!!

Haven't heard about him since years,
and now he jumps out of nowhere and boomm! sakuga explosion!
it just totally made my day!

I mean how is this even possible?
So he is in Japan now?

Is he doing in-betweens or key-animation?

I would appreciate some answers

>Haven't heard about him since years,

Well, not to call you a fool or anything but.. if you read Anipages or follow him on twitter you'll know he's been keeping busy. He has had his own short movie planned for ages, he's in contact with all the young animators in Japan. He worked on Skull Girls 2D Sprite fighting game: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M5beddaas6A

>Is he doing in-betweens or key-animation?
He said he's going to be a genga man which is pretty much Key Animator.

>>883
 Key-Animatior?! dope
I always thought rookies have to start as in-betweeners.

Wow, dude that's a lot of amazing stuff! really missed a lot.

Sorry, I had no twitter >>until right now<< and haven't been on Anipages since a decade.

Just found Bahi Jd's twitter and tumblr blog
sick drawings! How can he keep up as an animator and find some time to paint these stuff?!

One last question, who is Cindy Yamauchi?
Honestly, I don't quite understand why all this is related to Madhouse

anyway, thx for the reply man

Interesting how they're both foreigners.

Cindy Yamauchi is japanese.
She has been in the anime business since the 80's and has done key-animation for projects like AKIRA under the name of Hideko Yamauchi.
I think she lately worked on Otomo and Nishio's new film before Blade.

But honestly, I'm not a big fan of Madhouse anymore since Nippon TV buyed the company in 2011.
It's won't be the same Madhouse that it used to be. Madhouse is dead for me.

Anyway, I wish Bahi JD good luck, it's really great to see him finally working in the anime industry.
The anime world needs people like him that haven't gone blind by the cuteness of moe.

rofl

guys stop putting all these rumors out, he said no word about Madhouse. That's all about it
https://twitter.com/#!/bahijd/status/146632664173133824

All we know is that Bahi became key-animator. just relax, I'm sure he will tweet more about it soon.


I wonder what kind of anime it's gonna be and who's gonna be involved except him and the "rumor" about Cindy Yamauchi.

>>889 I agree, can't imagine him working on Moe shows neither.
He is not a big fan of the genre.
https://twitter.com/#!/bahijd/status/145663361596657665

And since Koji Morimoto and Tatsuyuki Tanaka are following him on Twitter, he would fit more to the Studio 4°c category.

You won't even find any Moe drawings in his gallery http://bahijd.tumblr.com/

志田直俊(Naotoshi Shida) sakuga AMV

sakugaboygogogo said that he will do the ultimate master sakuga video
including animators like Iso and Kobayashi.

What animators or studios are releasing doujins at C81?

Sushio is doing an idol-themed art doujinshi, featuring AKB48, MomoClover, Idolm@ster among others.

So, the Megami listing for IM@S 25 was kinda incomplete. Nishigori is actually also directing IM@S 25 (w/Ito's help). Essentially, Nishigori is director, storyboarder and animation director for the final episode of IM@S. The last time this happened was Gurren 27, with Imaishi serving as director (w/Ootsuka), storyboarder and mechanic animation director (w/Nishigori as chara AD).

Ryotimo's doing a Yozakura Quartet doujin with a friend.

>>890
He did do a draw of Fate Testarossa from Nanoha one.
Just sayin'

>>890
Okay I think I made huge assumptions when I said he'd be working for Madhouse here >>874

But looking at https://twitter.com/#!/bahijd/status/146627731675811841

He has been talking to Yamauchi quite often and she did say "We're going to be busy" implication being they'll be working together. Now seeing as Yamauchi only works at Madhouse I am going to be guessing that's the studio who Bahi is going to be working for, or at least working with Yamauchi with on something.

And about 20 minutes later after that tweet he announces he's going to be working as KA with a nice team... you have to wonder...

Yoh Yoshinari worked uncredited for IM@S' final episode:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=L4HwKEQTOOQ#t=114s

 This pretty much confirms that he did do that one bit from the OP.

Toshiyuki Inoue (yes THE Inoue) speaks on KyoAni

translated some parts of it...

-He had a chance to watch some KyoAni works lately
-At first he only knew of KyoAni as the studio where Yoshiji Kigami worked.  He doesn't know Kigami personally but was always aware of him when they were both young; thought of him as a rival of sorts
-Haruhi's animation reminded him of his work on Sasuga no Sarutobi in the 80's.  If he was a young animator today he'd no doubt consider KyoAni a rival studio
-Lucky Star's design and art are both very polished; the direction was also great
-Their recent projects definitely reach the "limits of the medium"
-the animation is very rich and full, and has excellent control
-K-ON is the pinnacle of Japanese TV anime
-I'm praising them very much, but I can't help but praise them right? (laughs)
-KyoAni has without a doubt advanced Japanese animation
-if K-ON were made 20 years ago, it'd have been a landmark achievement
-if I had to compare it to another series?  Perhaps "Heidi, Girl of the Alps", even though the subject matter is very different
-The consistency of quality also reminds of "Heidi" or "Sanzen-ri"

Very high praise from a very good animator

KyoAni and K-On's work has always received praise from the animation elite. Osamu Kobayashi(Beck, Panty #10, Dantalian #9) once tweeted similar comments.

Expecting /a/ to respond is silly. They think animators no longer use "hand drawn animation" everything is generated on the computer through magical pixies.

>>913
/a/ has lots of people who understand animation, not necessarily in a super-obsessive way but in a nice enough way. I could just as easily say that the /anime/ sakuga thread is just a bunch of pretentious people who parrot everything Ben from Anipages says and jack each other off and it would still be an unfair generalization despite the existence of such people.

can you name any other community that's nearly as active where a stupid "QUALITY thread" would get hijacked into a "good animation gifs" thread because the OP posted a gif from an unfairly bashed Naruto episode? I don't think so; for all its flaws /a/ also does a lot of good.

I also prefer making animation threads on /a/ because /a/ isn't a treehouse and gets way more random people viewing all the threads, so you can get new people to discover stuff like this. seeing a bunch of MADs linked on /a/ years ago is how I got into this stuff to begin with; I always noticed animation stand-outs but I didn't know there was a group of people keeping track of animators and their scenes and I was happy as hell to find out this had a big fanbase.

man I don't even know who the fuck Ben and Anipages are. I do agree that they're are some people in here who are fairly full of themselves concerning sakuga, but I still think its way better than anything /a/ ever pulls out. The only time /a/ ever has anything good are the gif threads but those are few and far in between. Every other time anon talks about animation, its stupid mindless banter over art not being animation or vice versa. Its difficult to get any good discussion going about animation, sakuga fans or not. Even this thread isn't that good, but its still better than the alternative

I dunno I just wish there was a better place to discuss this stuff

>>911
Too true

I think there's been lots of good threads on /a/ about this stuff, you just need to know how to start a discussion. If it's something that's bound to incite negativity then of course it won't work (100% aware of the hypocrisy here). You can make a thread saying something like "name some lesser-known, stand-out, well-animated episodes or scenes in various shows" and people who probably don't even know what "sakuga" means will chime in and come up with reasonable, nice contributions. There's quite a few cool people on /a/ that will come out of the woodwork under the right circumstances, perhaps more than you can find on "nice, educated" anime forums.

In general I don't even think using "sakuga" instead of "good animation" in the OP is a good idea when it comes to actually getting replies. Make it as easily understandable to the average poster so you can get responses from both the (somewhat, since this is 4chan) normal viewers who will regularly bump your thread and the more nerdy key animation people.

oh and just for the record using the word "treehouse" there because was a bad idea of the connotations it has attached to it. but still, considerably fewer people will want to join in on an animation discussion on /anime/ - it's just much easier and faster on /a/ where there's more posters online all the time and you can also start the thread with an eye-catching screenshot that people can easily notice while scrolling around. /a/ is a place where you can get multiple people interested in an obscure Toei movie from the early 80s in a matter of minutes just by linking a video and spamming screenshots.

I understand where you come from, but the /anime/ thread does talk about other things, and its not all just stalking a single animator and the like. I initially made the thread because I wanted a centralised place for people to have discussion about animation side of animation and related aspects.

I believe /a/ is good for spontaneous discussion, but its always a gamble and once the thread is gone, the discussion is gone too. Not everyone is open to twitter or forums where you have to register. I felt this was a suitable compromise. Its certainly not the best place in the world, but I believe it does its job.

From the eyes of our 2ch brothers, they think we talk about animation much better than they do.

*oh and just for the record using the word "treehouse" there was a bad idea because of the connotations it has attached to it
*an obscure Toei movie from the early 70s
goddamn typos.

It's easy to get around the inherent problems with holding a lengthy discussion on a fast-moving image board, starting new threads and keeping track of old ones that get archived for one. I'm not saying "this thread is shit, you all suck for posting here" because this place certainly serves its purpose, I'm just saying that /a/ can still be used quite well for discussions like this and has a lot of cool people.

Also, I guess trolling can be a problem but it shouldn't be. The problem isn't that mods are nonexistent, it's that nobody ever reports shitty posts because they just think "oh, it's 4chan, there's no way to deal with this". From my experience mods only even CONSIDER deleting something if it's actually been reported by multiple people. I assume there's tons of troll reports they have to deal with on a regular basis on a board of this magnitude.
