Ben-To's fights were pretty good, better than 90% other shows. It's not the best, sure, but it's damn good. The lack of frames(or lack of animation) was saved thanks to the choreography.

Really?
I find this hard to believe.

The ones he mentioned he was directing/doing chara design for. He said at least one was a TV show IIRC, no idea about the format of the other, but we didn't get any dates. This goes way back to Spring 2012 or so, people were speculating that what ended up being Vividred was the Umetsu project back when they were dropping hints.

Does anyone have any clue who 池屋守 is? She's the character designer for the Lucky Star spinoff Yamakan's going to direct at Ordet, but I can't find anything on her. Maybe a nickname?

It's obviously a pseudonym.
Probably some ex-KyoAni animator?

I didn't find anything impressive about Ben-To's fights, I thought they were passable at best.

Did you watch the show? Anyway, the OP and episode 4 had the best cuts and the second half is generally weaker. I wouldn't say it lacked animation, but the fights seemed better than they were since they involved people beating the crap out of each other with their fists. Some of the stuff from Cowboy Bebop and the fist fight in Lagann-hen come to mind.

Nice effects in Tanaka's Sasami cuts. Not sure what was up with parts of the circus looking like this though.

That's actually an Oonuma thing, Silver Link shows like BakaTest and C3 were pretty much a copy of EF. On the other hand all these things that were featured in EF or Arashi are pretty much passé in current Shaft shows for better or worse.

Short Peace CM (That Otomo omnibus project)

I can't read. What's the staff for each one? And when could we expect us filthy gaijins to see it?

Looks like 2 of the shorts will feature lots of CGI, but it looks not bad. I probably should get around to watching Memories.

another FMP season

Nah, I don't think that's likely.

I hope they do some new IP.
Fuck franchises.


Although I wouldn't mind some more Haruhi

Personally, I'd actually prefer another Fumoffu as opposed to continuing the story line. Fumoffu looks better than half of what's currently airing, so it should be interesting to see what KyoAni can pull given the resources they have today.

But yeah, I'd rather they do something new.

What's Bones working on lately?
Do they have anything airing?

BONES is doing Space Dandy, probably for Fall.
No idea about anything else, weren't they working on a movie of some sort?

The star driver movie? That's out now.

wait how do we know the name of Watanabe's Bones project? Where did Space Dandy come from?

>>822
They're now animating on-going anime, Zetsuen no Tempest. Show with solid production values, but it's not sakuga material. Looks like their main force is indeed working on Watanabe's Space Dandy.

No, not the SD movie. A standalone feature film. Maybe I'm misremembering and it wasn't BONES, but I think the main character was a little/young girl, it was set in some past period of Japan, and the name was just one word.
Maybe it's already out, just not on BD, but I remember seeing a PV for it. I'm intrigued now, does anyone have a clue what I'm talking about?

Do you mean this? It's directed by Masayuki Miyajii, who previously directed Xam'd at Bones. Most of the main staff are also Xam'd people, like Seiichi Hashimoto (chara design) and Ayumi Kurashima (animation director).

Yeah, that. Thanks.

So it comes out in April, huh... I wonder how many weeks until we get subs after the release.

Enshutsu is supposed to be the episode director, right? This article refers to that as animation director though.

I've never seen someone call the enshutsu "animation director", but "animation supervisor" is actually a much more intuitive translation for Sakuga Kantoku than what we normally use.

These don't get  physical release (at least no by normal means, I've seen the DVDs on yahoo auctions) so you'll have to wait for the TV broadcasting.
