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
