I thought the CGI work was alright, Production I.G. tends to be rather good at that sort of thing.

Speaking of CGI, what did you guys think of the CGI in Code Geass: Akito the Exiled?

it was nicely shaded but it still stuck out a bit. The compositions for the fights were great though, reminded me a lot of Imaishi's/Amemiya's work on BRS

Running sakuga. As expected, Inoue's looks the best.

ugh, shingo yamashita's running cut was awful

>>605
All of it?

the birdy one was okay

the Kimi no Iru Machi one is the real offender here

>>607
I thought that one of was bit strange, especially the part when she ran up the stairs and immediately after that.

I'm surprised there weren't any Tokikake parts in that Running MAD

>>604

Mayaka's running scene should be up there if it weren't for KyoAni's anonymity...

Seriously that was one good running scene.

>>604

Forgot to add... Inoue's still looks the best,

>>609
Miyazawa's scene should have been there. Some other scenes that comes to my mind
Kite:Liberator (Takeuchi)
Phantom Quest Corp (Utsunomiya)
Koike's Animatrix
And maybe (and since I was reminded of this earlier I'm going to namedrop it for the second time today) something from Nakamura's/Morimoto's/Fukushima's Future Police Urashiman episode(s, but mainly ep 26 if I recall correctly). I wonder if it is as good as I remember it? I'm gonna check it out again now.

By the way

>>612
Were you the anon who mentioned Takashi Nakamura?

>>612
oh and Nichijou of course, some scenes from Dennou Coil etc

>>610
Does Hyouka genga book have animators' name?

>>615
Is there even a Hyouka genga book?

>>616
Yeah, I'm not sure if it's already on sale though.

That's nice.

>>613
yeah

update after watching Urashiman 26 again

The animation felt more dated than I remembered it but there's a reason it left such a good impression in the first place. There's just this energy in it that makes me like it. It's an action anime and there's action in it from the beginning to the end with just enough stops giving room for breathing. It also helps that the plot is nonsensical and free from any attempts at awkward drama. Just as the plot constantly moves there's always something physically moving on the screen. And the running scene that left an impression on me was there. It's not because the animation was "technically" so amazing perhaps but because so much happens in a matter of a few seconds.

All this in a 1980s TV anime animated by three people.

Recommended for: anyone curious about these influential animators, anyone looking for something that has the energy of stuff like Dead Leaves, people curious about good animation in older anime, Kenji Kamiyama

Who's the cheeky bastard who wrote this?

>>621
A lot of Arai bullying lately...

Poor Arasan...

 Because he's the hero anime deserves, but not the one it needs right now. So we'll hate him. Because he can take it. Because he's not our hero. He's a silent guardian, a watchful protector. A dark knight.

A shaded knight

>a director from an "Animemirai" project asked me to participate, but priority was to be in Japan, so I couldn't
>also, I was in Paris 2 weeks doing character-design for another anime (japan x france collaboration) that's all I can tell about it now

Dat Bahi

>>626
Bahi sure is going places. What's this Animemirai thing anyway?

>>627
It's the "young animator training project" thing. I don't think it was called Animemirai until this year though.

Bahi being himself as usual. Lets see how he does action this time.

>but it's ok, I'm working on a Studio 4°C feature film with one of my favorite animators. ( ^ .^)b

Ohira? Okiura? Shinji Hashimoto? Toshiyuki Inoue? Satoru Utsunomiya? Mitsuo Iso?
I know these guys are in his list.


that tweet brings back a little hope , because 4C was doing lots of "meh" stuff lately

>>632
>Iso
>working

lel

just discovered this animator, she worked for Kon and  Miyazaki http://ayasuzuki.blogspot.co.at/
but there is no access to her animations, can't really tell if she is good or so so.

>>633 I was going to write the same

Iso is history, but a great one

>>634
It seems that she has a portfolio of her works on her blog, but they are password-protected.

>>636
that's why I wrote >but there is no access to her animations

I try to find a way to check out her works anyway, vimeo can't be that secure.

Don't they still have like 6 Berserk movies to produce?

>>639
There's only one more left to be shown in theaters, and going by the first movie's blu ray sales I doubt we'd see any more Berserk anime in the near future.
