Ugh..That episode 4 QUALITY explanation.. What the fuck? I didn't think the episode was very good necessarily but it was typical Kobayashi. Since people would hate it anyway they let him do it completely in his own way. Some people tried to explain the Transformers episode of Panty & Stocki...

-“…the fans were upset at the quality of animation [in TTGL's fourth episode], but it was completely intentional on the part of Imaishi (series director). He wanted to parody the common occurance, in many productions of the past, to have huge dips in quality during the course of a shows...

I just read this myself. The explanation for Kobayashi's episode is quite strange since it wasn't really different from Kobayashi's usual stuff. An excuse for someone who wouldn't "get it" maybe?

Episode 19 is a really fun and hilarious way of dealing with budget issues and had some really good Imiashi drawings and animations to boot, it doesn't really deserve the nerd rage it receives. I doubt people would've even noticed if they just used generic budget-saving techniques instead o...

This is Suzuki's twitter http://twitter.com/moja_co

Thanks for this! A little clarification about something though if it's possible. Aside from "Devilman" and "Team Astro," Anno was largely uninterested in shonen manga. Is this just about a certain period in his life like after meeting that girl? Because it's inconsistent ...

Seems this johyakuQ site is a fan site for Anno. But not sure where is the conversations with Oshima or Okamoto. If someone can point it out to me, I can see if I can translate the Japanese. Here is Okamoto http://johakyu.net/lib/2008/05/2008-05-18-000850.php Oshima (this is quite long) http://joha...

It's definitely Miyazaki next to him. I tried google to find more images and found this where Suzuki is also seen

Haha I felt the same when I saw it. I couldn't believe Anno talking with Oshima.

I look forward to the live action version

Hey, interesting. What's this site about and does it have other delicious anno tidbits? It's been linked from here before I think. It's mainly a collection of interviews with Anno and Sadamato. There are also some old Yamaga interviews and occasionally news about Eva or Gainax. The most...

I've seen this documentary before. I remember the naivety with which the narrator accepts the idea that manga originates from 12th century monks drawing funny looking animals. Isao Takahata makes the same claim somewhere. As for that curious Anno quote. I wish the quote came from an interview so...

What does he get credited for in that case? Google says he edited it edit a few months later: I can't bump this but I wanted to share this picture which is the best we'll get until someone buys those Chousen Ame issues http://i55.tinypic.com/20feyol.jpg from an issue of Animec (not Anim...

I ignored it because my post was long enough and the title says it's a Kenji Tsuruta book anyway edit: I don't think I can bump this thread since I was the last person posting but here's something I wanted to share and the best we will get until someone buys those chousen ame issues. htt...

I've seen Anno getting key animation credits on one Cream Lemon episode too Pop Chaser is a classic. There's probably more action sequences than sex scenes in it. Anyway, here are some things I found after looking for Sonoda here http://doujinshi.mugimugi.org/ http://doujinshi.mugimugi.org/...

I uploaded two scenes that I presume is Anno's animation from this episode. http://www.mediafire.com/file/wkco223993x37oz/uy.rar Shoichi Masuo (the FX director of the Rebuild films) is also in the credits so it's not impossible that he could have done at least one of these scenes but...

I've wondered about this as well and intend to ask Yamaga if I return to Fanime for 2011. Where does it say in Anno's autobiography that he read the scripts for the first two episodes? I guess it said the second and not the first two but here it is But one day,he happened by chance to read ...

I read it in English here http://khara.weblogs.jp/hideakianno/personal-biography.html Maybe the significance of Anno's driving license is just one of those things that gets lost in translation... Good point about the role of a director. Anno wouldn't necessarily have to be the writer to infl...

Okada does not say that only 3 people from Gainax were working on anime production during Eva. He's saying "right now", as in 1996 after Eva was finsihed. Anno, Tsurumaki, Masayuki, Shinji Higuchi, Takeshi Honda, Yo Yoshinari, Tadashi Hiramtasu, Shoichi Masuo, Nobutoshi Ogura, Katsuich...
