I don't think I've ever heard of Imaishi being a particularly "tough" director. Specially with Sushio, who he has known for a very long time. In fact, consdiering Sushio's role as "chief animation director" the opposite may be more likely. Sushio realizing he can't just his team as "genga machines".

I can't believe that idiots like you two still don't understand that this is a thread about animation. Tell me what good does it to animation when Japan don't care about Trigger? Such stupidity should be illegal. Holy fuck.
How big are the chances that Samumenco will have big guys on board? I would say not so high because Manglobe, but hopefully with that director it might be possible. I really hope, the show looks like fun.

Trigger's popularity is irrelevant to Kill la Kill's potential success or lack of success; they aren't part of the marketing tag-line. The big selling point is IMAISHI X NAKASHIMA: THE GUYS THAT BROUGHT YOU GURREN-LAGANN, I don't see how LWA or Trigger is relevant to that. Almost like saying Shaft shows bomb because Salami bombed.

^Yeah, but Imaishi = Trigger basically. In other words, if you're supporting Trigger, you're supporting the big selling point you're talking about, which is Imaishi x Nakashima
I'm guessing it should have some nice bits of animation, especially for the action scenes. Not expecting anything particularly amazing though. With Tatsuo Yamada working on it maybe we can expect some Toei affiliated animators? Maybe Tetsuya Takeuchi and/or Hiroshi Tomioka might also show up.
Imaishi was never mentioned in LWA's hype train; he gets a small "story assistance" credit at the end. Aniplex is marketing "THE SECOND COMING OF GURREN-LAGANN".
Hmm, Space Battleship Yamato is surprisingly well animated. I always thought that Macross was the first series with missile circuses, but it seem they predate it by almost a decade. The plane animation in episode 2 was better than anything in Zeta. it's amazing. What the hell happened with anime after 1975?

And it has some pretty good background animation (with the yamato rising from the ground for example). I've been avoiding this for so long due to Ideon looking like shit (yes it does) but now I realize that Tomino just isn't an aesthete. No wonder he shoved new footage into the Zeta films without any care for visual quality and consistency.

>>424 THE SECOND COMING OF GURREN-LAGANN? Confirmed for being shi in every aspect but animation.
Haha, I agree. But I could put up with an incredibly boring plot if the visuals are as stunning as they seem they're gonna be.
