Every week I point out that the number of parallels, recurring layouts, and reused assets (mostly BGs but some animation sheets too) between Dynazenon and Gridman goes way beyond any plain corner-cutting, and by the next episode they just increase them. This show's toying with us ImageImageImageImage
If there's a reason to believe that it'll have a significance beyond the cheeky nods, it's that Gridman already used repetition meaningfully to represent (un)changing relationships. Dynazenon's following that same path (same bus?), whatever purpose it has ImageImageImage
And they sure are driving the point home that this is the same world but much more mundane-looking, without the unnatural weather and visible looming threat of the kaiju - even though those are very much a thing over here too. Very interesting given the series' overall context ImageImageImageImage
That said my favorite recurring shot is this Wooser cameo because he became a ghost in between the series. Rest in peace you rude mascot ImageImage
On its own, Dynazenon continues to be funny as hell. Love letters to a genre feel much more genuine when they know how to poke fun at it without ridiculing, and having the protagonist cough through all the glorious stock footage because he had a cold this week is exactly that
There's no character with a personality as immediately magnetic as Akane's, but the ensemble cast is more intriguing on the whole, and seeing the two sides of Yume slowly converge is nice. By which I mean yes more dorky Yume thank you ImageImageImageImage
Good anime ImageImageImageImage

Been really looking forward to the Tengoku Daimakyou adaptation - out of excitement due to its interesting high-profile team, but also because I was curious how they'd navigate such a tricky series to adapt. So far, the anime's qualities far outweigh the compromises. Great start!
TDM is a dense series with maniacal foreshadowing, but at the same time a breezy and comfortably paced read. The manga balances the page-turner side with laid-back postapocalyptic adventures very well, and with just 1 cours for this long arc, the anime has to shift the approach
That makes me appreciate the involved series composition over just speeding through the manga as it was. The way they're finding new points to connect the two storylines & coming up with very effective cliffhangers of their own tells me they do get (at least part of) the appeal

Vibrant start to Hirogaru Sky Precure, one of the most energetic intros in the franchise at a time when you can't take that for granted. Wealth of amusing scenarios, witty irreverent script, and a bunch of neat animation that culminates in this cool & loosely expressive setpiece
Brought to mind Ryunosuke Kingetsu's older anime works, when he came up with many off-kilter worlds where surreal nonsense passes as their own normality - hope his wild ideas don't clash too much with Precure's rigid formula. For now they're letting him be a nasty freak, lol
I think the series has the right ingredients for the staff to offer genuinely diverse scenarios weekly, like how Sora is a parkour master so they'd be able to have her solve issues without her Precure powers. Pls let them have fun, o merch overlords

The stunning Yama no Susume Next Summit finale explains the unusual structural choices they made. Early recaps even at the cost of runtime, switching to full eps at the end, all for the sake of the conquest of the mountain Aoi painfully lost to *8 years ago*. Now, sweet revenge
The scenery alone is enough to move you to the core if you've been watching this far - for what it signifies, and because it makes it easier to tell that they put everything they had into this. Their own experiences, their own photos, carefully tweaked to fit YamaSusu's worldview

Yama no Susume (Mama no Susume?) NS #09-B was led by the opening team of Irei Eri direction x Yusei Koumoto supervision. The former's processing is the show at its prettiest & the latter offers the most lavish art, so it's no wonder they got called *2 years later* to make the OP ImageImageImageImage
Hinata's view of Aoi's back as they climb brings to mind all the POV shots in that sequence. Irei's camera's movement emulates the eye so in this case it's got rhythmic swaying, while in the OP there's a wider variety with appropriate tracking, more stationary takes, etc
The most impressive aspect has to be the animation direction. There are many valid approaches to YamaSusu's design work and the show embraces that, but this is the most fully-realized one, obscenely detailed and still not compromising the usual expressiveness. Sasuga Yusei....... ImageImageImageImage

A month ago, Yuki Kamiya / uki directed his first Chainsaw Man ending sequence so I pointed out how much he loves the orange & blue contrast

You're not going to believe who directed this week's ending
Beautiful sequence regardless, a bit of an alternative retelling of the relationship the episode is all about. The looming Makima eye in their moment of intimacy got me good

Checked credits to see which of KyoAni's new hires are already officially part of their productions, and which department they're in for that matter

Yuri Taniguchi, Mizuho Masaki, Kou Tsunashima, and Haruka Sato are all doing animation at the studio, as in-betweeners for now
Ayaho (?) Harashima was credited as an in-betweener in the Tsurune movie as well. No surprise in her case since it's not even a new role and her extravagant training arc as an animator is well-documented. High expectations for her career
Sou (?) Nojiri was also credited as in-betweener. Missed the chance to watch the student film he had a huge hand in, but the animatics are around and his public art is very analog so I feel he might've worked on the fun sequences where you can see traditional layouts in the back
