Seanny, that’s an interesting point – particularly the observation of very fluid animation that’s not characteristic or attributable to a single animator like Yoshinori Kanada or Ichiro Itano, for example.

in other words, I feel like I’m seeing more things recently that go for the indistinctly smooth animation that I usually attribute to Kyoto Animation, from studios like A-1 and Ufotable and Production I.G. and etc.

it was an amusing, brainless sitcom… the sort of thing you gobble up but don’t remember watching a month later.

On its animation quality… Ever since Kannagi, through Sora no Woto and Working!!, animation studio A-1 Pictures has given me the impression of a reverse-engineered Kyoto Animation (of K-On, Suzumiya Haruhi and Clannad fame)… I’m talking about that consistently smooth, yet really indistinct animation quality. This is as opposed to productions that are driven by individualistic, animator-centric moments (e.g. key battles, or sometimes entire episodes) patchworked together into something that banks up & down, left & right in terms of animation quality & sensibilities

Here’s hoping for a season 2.
