I don't think highly of Horiguchi's designs, but I don't see anything particularly wrong with her adult character designs.

I think highly of her cute girl designs. She can also draw young women like Sawako's old friends in K-On.

But the Tamako Market adults are like the extras that can be seen in the background of any random show. They're not distinct or appealing in any way.

I think Munto has really good designs for adult/old characters.

It would be interesting if anime is allowed to have multiple character designer like western animation.

I don't watch tamako but from promotion pictures, the background characters looked way more interesting than the lead characters who just inspire feelings of "this looks kind of like K-On"

This. So much this. And not in the whacky mixture sense of it.

I'd really like to see a series with characters designed by multiple people. Same-facing is too prevalent in anime shows when every chara is conceived by the same person.

I started watching Space Adventure Cobra a few days ago, without knowing anything about it besides that one gif of Cobra climbing the stairs which gets posted a lot on the gif/animation threads. I didn't even know it was directed by Osamu Dezaki. What I gathered from my rather limited past experience with TV series from 80s was that they looked, well, not very good. Especially compared to high budget movies or OVAs from the same era. But Cobra surprised me a lot, it looked actually good.

I mean sure, I wouldn't use it as an example of technical brilliance but it's amazing how stylistic some shots look. Like these.

Or drawings like this with that rough shading, and used for dramatic effect.

Some of the backgrounds are good too. I especially liked the cities and buildings in it. They look, what's the word, funky? Or maybe futuristic? I'm not sure, but it sure as hell is distinct.

I heard that both Ikuhara and Shinbo are Dezaki copycats. But I must say, the man himself impressed me more than the other two. How are Dezaki's other works? Do they look as good too?

Probably not what you are looking for but Obari's SRW anime had multiple chara designers. Partly I'm guessing because of the sheer number of characters in the story. Though they were mostly retooling game designs for the anime.

Hamazaki Kenichi, Ebata Risa and Ogomori Yukihito did the majority of them

That's typical Dezaki.

His other works are also good, even though most of them don't have the animation quality of Cobra.

This "groundbreaking technique" is just rotoscoping over 3D models, isn't it?

Japanese CG artists can't even rig the character models properly.

What does Paperman do that 2D can't do? Whats the benefit of using CG here? Maybe I'm missing something but to do all this work to do something almost as good as the thing you don't want to do (traditional animation) seems strange.

It allows you to have smooth (2d like) animation without the need to hiring a legion of monkeys to draw endless inbetweens.

Tamako's such a disappointment. Both animation and premise wise. I just hope someone would post some mad so I can easily watch the interesting sequences. I'm too bored to watch this horrible show.

Yamada really has outdone herself this time.

I still haven't seen the potential of paper man. Doesn't give me any vibe of 2D animation. It's too smooth. Too perfect.

Animation-wise as well? How so? It looks like typical KyoAni quality to me.

There's the lineart for starters, looks like a pencil outline. The smoothness is also pretty much like the typical Disney hand-drawn animation isn't it? I suspect that it won't look as convincing if there was color added though.

Guys !

what do you think of the Korra fight choregraphies and the storyboard quality ?

Nah, Classic Disney films are more smooth than this.

I'm more impressed by the non-action scenes. The action isn't bad, but it just lacks that final polish to make it good. It's like the movement isn't as smooth as it should be, like there's a timing issue or something? There were two occasions that I rather liked the action though, episode 3 and episode 8.

That fight in episode 3 had a rather neat storyboard in my opinion.

They probably correct it in the second season (and maybe the rumored animated movie of korra avatar)
