Is it the same organization they made a propaganda film for quite recently as well? Kyoani is just the animation division of some cult. Which would explain their "happy" workers who "love" to take on overtime work for the good of the "company"...perhaps

Well the skateboard stuff is obviously referenced from film. For example the fish eye lens stuff. Skate films are filled with fish eye shots not just because the look but they are used on small cameras to the reduce shaking and the tracking shot looks exactly like it's taken from such a film clip.

About 850 mil yen iirc. Not sure what this means. I don't think it's good for the type of film it is though.
Ending animation of Shinsekai Yori's second episode was nice.
Is it by the same guy who did the "fiend" scene in the first episode? They looked pretty similar.
Also, all these exposition delivered by the stories they read in the text books remind me of how urban legends played a similar role at the beginning of nearly every episode of Dennou Coil.

Ishihama worked on Coil and Iso on Space Show so it's a good guess if nothing else.

Can't say for sure who but damn those were really good.
Best bet would be Ishidate but then again I'm more used to seeing his angry scenes. Anyway Ueno is working on this ep so probably her?
speaking of runes, how do you guys use the sakuga wiki? I've been relying on these discussions/twitter/ANN to see some staff for shows but I'd like to able to find staff on my own. I usually just copy paste the Japanese name into the wiki but I can never really make sense of the results. I try cross-referencing using the ANN database but that's like poking about in the dark.
Well I dunno if the word was right that he was the one who did the scene where Togaito(Hyouka, the newspaper club president) went bat shit angry when Oreki learned about the truth about his cigs.
Anyway it was a very expressive scene.

I think that was Nao Naito's work. Ishidate isn't listed in that episode anyway. The only thing I'm sure he did is the breakdance scene in ep 12.
>Anyway watching the ED and seeing Rikka's sure dance I'm curious though about why won't they make another dance animation like Hare Hare Yukai?

Clearly they showed us with K-ON that they can make performances like that again and the best thing is, they were all/mostly from scratch and not rotoscoped like the God Knows performance in Haruhi.
>I wonder why? Could it be that they just don't want to pry on Yamakan's brainchild(the one which made him famous) and possibly going in a possible confrontation against him?

It took me a while to get used to it, but this is how I do things:
The Sakuga Wiki's search function is a little simplistic, so if you use it you have to wade through lots of, sometimes useless, stuff.
Since Chuu2 is popular, let's try and look for Taichi Ishidate. If you don't into moonrunes, then find him on ANN, copy paste the kanji for his name into the sakuga wiki's search box.
These are the results: http://www18.atwiki.jp/sakuga/?cmd=search&keyword=%E7%9F%B3%E7%AB%8B+%E5%A4%AA%E4%B8%80
As you can see, it just shows everything with that kanji, in what I presume is the Japanese alphabetical order. The actual page for him is way down. http://puu.sh/1drbN - I've highlighted his name here (the last 4-5 links always search the entire wiki database on which the sakuga wiki is hosted, we don't want that)
An easier way is to just put his name into google and add 作画 as well, 9/10 times that well net you the correct page.
As for finding out what their past works were, well for one you'll just have to learn what all the production kanjis mean. As for show names, copy paste them into ANN's search box, that should net you it. If not, go into google.
Anything else, just ask.

When it comes to anime, there are two main career branches people tend to go down.
Those that start off as artists and key animators, they move up to animation directors, then sometimes go off to being character/mecha designers. The more ambitious will then move up to storyboarding episodes, OPs and EDs, some stop here, others carry on to becoming episode/unit directors and will eventually come to direct main series and movies.
People who did this: Miyazaki, Imaishi, Obari etc.. They all have drawing skill.
Some animators don't move further that doing animation direction or storyboards and simply stay as key animators most of their careers. Yoshinori Kanada is a great example of this.
Now the other career line comes from having excellent vision and planning skills, but little actual artistic skill. So they might start off as project managers, or assistants to directors and then they will move on up to directing their own episodes. Some might learn how to scribble basic storyboards, others might just get someone else to do the drawings for them.
A good example of this career line is Mamoru Oshii. He simply focuses on the direction of story and characters, he leaves the drawing of storyboards to the artists and animators.
Yamakan is from the latter career path. As for how he got the job, well IIRC he came from a prestigious university, so that is probably how he got into KyoAni.

You probably don't want to watch some of Kanada or Yamashita's early works from the 80s then. Not everything has to be smooth as butter animation.
I like Kanada's style of animation. Timing makes all the difference, he could actually pull off his antics and make it completely believable within the logic of his animation. Don't get complacent with me just because Jun Arai is doing some pretentious bullshit homage of Kanada and the general 80s style, it doesn't mean he's actually good at what he does.

But he actually is, I've seen the planning and layouts he's done in one of his doujinshi's and it's clear he has a mastery of his drawing skill.
I suppose you have an idea about animation? You only think he's good because of the names you attach to him. "Oh he's a Kanada style animator, he's totally cool with me because Kanada was great"
do you not realize how stupid that is? You're just perpetuating the stereotype that sakugafans anre shallow morons who only know how to namedrop
I like his shading, but there's just something about his timing that bugs me. When I see his work, I tend to think, "Dammit, just move already!". Other Kanada-style animators like Yoshimichi Kameda don't seem to have this problem for some reason. Movements are far from smooth, but they aren't ridiculously stiff at the same time.

I don't think his work is slideshow-like at all. I am curious about his SSY cut though, and I'm looking forward to it.
yeah it does move, but not often enough and his animation is just very stiff in general. It gives the impression of a slideshow. Like the SSY segment, the part where the dude jumps to stab another guy and we see him slash the sword but very slowly and without much volume to it. Imagine if Imaishi did it, yeah it'd look similar but he'd make that sword swing look CRAZY and FAST and INSANE. I don't get that feeling when watching Arai's stuff. This is odd though since most Kanada style animators really work towards creating their own sense of physics. Arai is good at shading, decent at FX but lacking in everything else. I remember liking his Star Driver bits but most of time I just find his cuts rather tedious to watch
I just started watching Birdy Decode and it's actually rather well animated. It's quite interesting to compare Shingo Yamashita's Bridy ED to what he did in SSY.

Well, if you actually have been paying attention to SSY since it was announced you would realize that they are actually really, really, really ahead on the schedule. The PVs from Summery show scenes that shouldn't happen until episodes 6-7! Plus the PV that people used to guess the Yamauchi episode (5) etcetera.
Looking at this, you're right. At the very least they had done quite a few episodes by Q2 of 2012. How much of a head start does a typical anime have when it comes of production schedules?

Depends on the studio and who does the planning.
Bones are generally quite good. An extreme example is Heroman and that was produced over 2 years before it aired, when it did, all the animation was completed.
Something like Eureka AO was on a pretty tight schedule and animation was still completing a day or two before each episode went on air.
SHAFT are not known for keeping good schedules, they have some terrible planning departments.
KyoAni of course have great scheduling and a legion of animators to back them up.

You have a keen eye, it could be there is another person with that name who got mixed - these things happen.
Japanese names often end up as homonyms in English, as despite having different kanjis, they will be read the same way and in English end up being spelt the same.
Looks like I found your culprit
高橋 真梨子
Is the KyoAni animator 高橋 真理子
Is the other one that's on Ayakashi and ZnS
A single kanji difference, yet pronounced the same.

You can actually. But the Kanji has to be related to an English name. The KyoAni one has a related entry in the database, but someone must have thought the other one was just a typo, since it doesn't appear in the DB. These things can happen in Japanese too and so the data entry person must have just entered it under the same name in English.
If I enter both names in Kanji, this is what it shows me: http://puu.sh/1f6LR
The third CM(Shoko Ikeda's one) and the cat-bus one were to advertised their shop.
The 4th CM(Ishidate+Ueno) for probably their school.

It's nice to see the rough work, that was cool. Birdy Decode was a good watch, it's certainly one of the better-animated tv anime out there. I noticed that some people didn't really like how it took liberties with the art for some of the action scenes though. Some of the more hectic action scenes in the final episode for instance had a very loose and simple art style for the characters and various background objects.

Well after Masunari, Umetsu is the name that first comes to mind when I think of people connected to Ishihama so post 616 might not be wrong...but since he hypes it up on twitter I also want to say it's Iso. Because that would be hype worthy.
Ishi: SSY is about to start!
Bari: It's been along time Director Ishihama! I'll definately watch it! (^ω^) (sounds weird in English, but you can use director/kantoku as a suffix in nihongo.)
Ishi: It has really been a long time! (*^-^*) Thank you very much! Thanks for the follow as well!
Bari: Thank you for the refollow!(^人^)I know it's tough, but keep at it!(^ω^)
pretty simple nippon greeting. He did something similar with yutapon a while back.
I wonder if he was going to work on Eva at some point. Like before 2.0 got delayed and Space Show's production hadn't begun. Posters like that doesn't tend to be drawn by unrelated people.

Anything in particular makes you think that? I saw the same guess in 2ch.

Could be. Something about the way her eye is drawn.
The first shot of Shinji. Could it be Kise? It's very well drawn and those lines under the eyes and on the nose - he did that in 1.0

it's probably homu homu or someone in the same league. either way they don't give a fuck on whichever side slides just so they can see people throw shit at each other. sadly... this ain't the imageboards with high amounts of retarded userbase.

Really hoping the next two movies will top EoE, but judging by the lastest trailer it seems unlikely for 3.0. Beyond just animation, EoE seems to have much more interesting direction, layout, boarding, even better attention paid to color design, almost every cut is borderline iconic. Or maybe it's just nostalgia.

What do you guys think about western animation vs japanese animation? Which is better and why?
>>737
I think western animated films are generally more lively than Japanese film in term of character acting.
But Japanese directors tend to use more "low key" acting than their western counterpart even in life action movies, so I can't say that western animators are better.
One thing that Japan is really good at is creating interesting layouts.

Bleach is just horrible, and that Beelzebub had terrible artwork, it's all pastels and shit.
timing, which is to say the flow of the animation. The way each animator holds frames is fairly unique can give away their involvement. To recognize timing...just watch a lot of anime and pay attention to the animation on a drawing level like "how many drawings are in this cut" and "which frames are emphasized"
After 2 weeks of hell from work I come back here and see this? What happened here?
If this is getting too much attention then we might as well shift it into a forum. This is plain terrible without any sort of moderation. I prefer the slow animation thread than this.
