I confirmed that KILL la KILL ep3 & ep6 is SAKUGA Episode. Yoshinari will maybe come.

MAYBE

>By the way, if anyone here knows,  how often does work go uncredited in anime? Is it usually just when the animator is just lumped in with the subcontracted studio (like here, GAINAX) or does it happen on other times as well? Also, why?

Given it is uncredited it will probably be hard to say.
Though the way the industry works, they have a very close knit network of animators. They know each other more than we from the outside know.

Friends will often lend hands to friends.
Teacher/senior animators will help their students out. The opposite is also true.
If there is a case of a certain animator's talents are needed but they are contracted elsewhere, they will do the work uncredited or use a pseudonym.

>>602

Okay. It's just that some people acted like it was actually confirmed.

Voltage Fighter Gowcaizer #1 - 後藤 圭二 Keiji Gotoh [?]

>>605
It's easy enough to tell Gotohs work since it looks a lot like his 90s character designs aka Nadesico.

Tarzan then

Tarzan now

WTF happened?

>>607
The studio that made this is just retarded.

They could have done a way better 3D Tarzan if they knew how to do it.
It has nothing to do with 3D or 2D.
This same studio would have produced a garbage Tarzan in 2D.

Also fucking off topic.

>>607

Guaranteed to flop. Even the trailer looks like shit, and I don't mean just animation wise. And if it flops, I'm pleased. The Captain Harlock CGI reboot also flopped hard. I hope this trend continues.

No offense to 3D puppeteers, but your work is the spawn of Satan.

Wow, yet another uninspired, blandly stylized 3D film from America. How refreshing.

The problem with 3D is that it's so dependent on budget and resources that the people who can actually compute the best results will never have the verve to apply the technology on something interesting.
If they used the full capabilities of what there is now, something hard-boiled and low-key in the vein of Jin-Roh would be great. Or even something uglier, closer to reality like Hamaji's Resurrection.

Coming up with interesting ways of stylizing and 'cartoonizing' animation for 3D is inherently hard because it's such a mechanical, time-consuming process. There's really no feeling of improvising a pose or a movement, of really getting into the acting of a character because you have to concentrate on moving those damn polygons. It's probably why a lot of the research that goes into this try to have some sort of animator 'drawing' the skeleton of the animation directly, to preserve that spontaneous feeling of traditional animation. But even then, it's hard to take risks considering how expensive high-profile 3D movies are.

>The Captain Harlock CGI reboot also flopped hard

Where did you get this info from?

I heard the opposite.

James Cameron even said that it's the best CG anime adaptation of all time.

>>612

You're trying too hard.

This is the animation appreciation thread, how is it off topic?

That part was Hiroyuki Aoyama.

Needs more digital filters and CG.

>>616
That does make more sense I suppose.

KyoAnus getting blown the fuck out

Daily reminder that Trigger/JC Staff/8-bit are better studio than KyoAnus.

Which one "moves" better?

>>620

Bottom even if it has robotic inbetweening. I have no idea why anyone would choose the top when it's only showing the extremes.

>>620

What. The movement is identical. bottom just has more inbetweens. They're also both shit.

Imagine you are a hinble animator working at Kyoani,
tryibg to pay your bills,
am there are people who call your compan Kyoanus.

You deserve it because you're doing your job poorly.
Take Trigger as an example, they're respected because they make good sakuga animes.

>>627
Lets not get ahead of ourselves here, only LWA managed to deliver good animation. Kill la Kill? Not really, still waiting for something impressive. It's stylish but kinda cheap too.

September/October sakuga MAD?

Thank goodness.. KyoAni should just die.

Way too overhyped. There animation style is just so limited. They haven't tried to break the mold since forever. Quite frankly, I'm getting tired of their usual styles.

KnK was very promising but it just goes to show how sticking to one genre kills your creativity. They can't do action for shit and it's almost saddening that it feels Gonzo-tier/early 2000s anime.

People stop fighting about mediocre animation.
>>629 is here.

Also, looks like Hashimoto. Reminded me of his scene in Hamaji's resurrection a bit. Thoughts?
