Here's the (almost)HD version.
I like it. The CG is leagues beyond the crap in 2.0 (even though I would've preferred some pencil-on-paper mecha smashing angels in space more) and the art direction is great... like, really great,
No real sakuga stand-outs so far (6 minutes, what'd you expect?) but Asuka's animation was nice and I'm digging the explosions.

SAKUGA IS OVER.
We should rename this Animation Mourning Thread #8
Was there anyone listed as Chief Animation Director for Nichijou?
TSR - Horiuchi(Gonzo)
Air - Aratani
Haruhi - Shoko Ikeda
Kanon/Clannad - Kazumi Ikeda
K-ON - Horiguchi
I was wondering who the Chief AD for Nichijou is. K-ON!! onwards didn't have anyone listed under that. Even without listing it for K-ON!! its pretty obvious.

Hand drawn mecha animation is dead. Soon there will be a generation of 2D animators who've never done any mechanical animation.
Most anime fans are already so used to CG mecha that they don't care. Many of them even prefer CG.
Latest SSY episode:
4 animation director
6 assistant animation director
Troubled production looks like

Oh dear. I thought a good chunk of it was made in advance? I remember the trailers showing a lot of scenes far into the show.

Haruhi 2009 episodes had a different AD right? I recall someone saying she was pregnant so she was unable to work on it, hence the new episodes having a different look.

That is a saddening thought but most mecha animators today are in their late 30s and 40s.
You only see odd youngsters doing mecha, they tend to be the super talented guys like Amemiya, Kameda, Hironori Tanaka, Kim Sejun and so on.

Yes, he did a cut on the Debander OP that was posted earlier in the thread.
He also worked on this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xzc-9y9MIQY
>Yoshimichi Kameda, Amemiya Akira, Mutaguchi Hiroki, Masakazu Sunagawa & Shingo Fujii and 1 or two others worked on that scene.
what do you guys think general japanese artist like the most in their piece ?
The plan (camera choice)
The overall composition (putting elements between them)
The details (putaing a lot of drawing details on clothes for example)
The line movment of the bodies (look like the elements are moving in the pic)
The subject choice (drawing something fantasy , or political ,whenever)
The ink art (lines art and such)
The coloring (colors choice )
etc

Interesting, the movie car chase sequence had hand-drawn cars.
But yeah.. Mecha animation is so much of a treat these days. It's so rare in most studios to pour their attention in that aspect.
I was really disappointed with the CGI used in Chu2koi's bonus preview. I was hoping they'd at least surprise us with their old stuff.
Also regarding this week's ep 7 of Chu2koi, I don't think it was that bad. The problem I think lies with balancing the mood. They didn't want to make things heavy. They really wanted to make this show fun but then again inserting Rikka's story was a contrast to that. The cuts weren't really stand out but there were good ones. Nothing wrong with the storyboarding as well. I just think they reserved their stuff for something better since this episode is obviously a set up for what's to come next week.
