Speaking of Itano, what is he up to these days?

Today...

Finally.

>>723
No, Trigger will save sakuga

>>721
Working on the CGI for EVA Rebuild iirc.

>>703
Oh Ishihama, makes sense why I recall seeing some Azumanga drawings by him now.

>>726
lol seriously? Didn't know Itano can do CG.

>>728
You should check your facts. He's been working in CGI for almost 10-12 years now.

To anyone that missed the thread.

>>730
I'm happy that I missed that.

An Anonymous claiming that he is an insider from Khara wrote on 2chan that Mitsuo Iso animated 200 shots for the final Rebuild.

The rotoscope in Aku No Hana is improving.

>>732
Sure, and Yoshinori Kanada told me personally that he'll be working on Space Dandy.

I have never seen video material of Kanada himself. Only pics of him.
Is there any interview with him somewhere?

It depends on how you define limited animation. Personally, I use the term to describe animation where only parts of a character are redrawn. Apparently it was supposed to be a stylistic choice at first, but people adopted the technique to bring down production costs.

The amount of new drawings per second has nothing to do with it if you ask me, since limited animation can also go with 24 new frames per second. This is why I still consider most of Iso's work (and nearly every "sakuga" scene) full animation. I say most since his scene in episode 4 of Gosenzo-sama was a mix of limited and full animation. This actually applies to most anime and one common method to improve how a scene looks is to use multiple layers for effects or other characters. Some scenes can technically have a new drawing for each frame, just not for each subject.

Full animation gives a more convincing and natural look to the characters so I'd say it's generally better.

Re: Yoshinari's effects
Anime's heavy use of stylized effects animation, at least compared to Western productions, can all be traced back to Kanada. Since Disney was obsessed with realism they had to draw a wave or forest fire much like how it would look like in real life. Yoshinari's effects are still stylized, but obviously not as heavily stylized as Kanada's.

Kanada was the nicest http://archive.j-mediaarts.jp/festival/2009/achievement/13saa_KANADA_Yoshinori/

Is it true that Yoshimichi Kameda's real name is Yoshimichi Kanada?
He is Kanada's son or something.

?

Kanada is the finest, R.I.P

>>743
All the girls in the studio must have fallen in love with Kanada.

We only hope that wherever Kanada-kun is now, that he could feel the warmth of his fans around the world.

During Kanada's death ceremony,
Hideaki Anno spoke

"it was too early for Kanada. I wanted to see more newer animation from Kanada, I very much adored his work"

I think we should celebrate Kanada's birthday also as the birthday of japanese sakuga.
