goddamn, I genuinely could hear you talk for ages and not get bored once. That aspect of these discussions has not diminished at all since your AoT reactions. I wish my professors were as fun to listen to as you are 😂

Episode was fully outsourced to Telecom Animation Film. Everything from animation, to coloring, to backgrounds, to compositing. A super strong showing from an outside team, even if it is a regular team in the show’s outsource rotation. They’ve already done episodes 13, 18, and 24 so far with a handful more left down the line. Telecom is one of the Japanese studios that used to handle episodes from a bunch of Western produced animation back in the ‘90s, such as Batman: The Animated Series, Spider-Man and Animaniacs. Storyboarded and seemingly helmed by a Telecom old-timer; Nobuo Tomizawa, an industry veteran who studied under highly influential people early in his career incl. Yasuo Ootsuka and Hayao Miyazaki. He also got a separate credit for “layout supervision,” which makes me think he might’ve heavily corrected many of them by himself. Great use of lighting and the camera-mapped (2D art pasted onto 3D surfaces) backgrounds on Sloth’s elevator were especially nice. You and I audibly reacted to them both at the same time, lol. Teiichi Takiguchi & Taichi Furumata were the animation supervisors for the episode. Both of them were brought up by Telecom, the former having been a part of the studio for decades before joining Ufotable some years back where he still works to this day. The credits don’t specify it, but I have an inkling that Takiguchi was in charge of the general supervision while Furumata focused his attention more towards effects animation – which is something he excels at. He’s actually one of the two mainstay effects animation supervisors on Shingeki S4, so you’ve come across his work quite plenty already. For the nerds who are way too into this, some of his shapes can be quite distinct: https://i.imgur.com/UWx03ML.jpg Where’re Zoro’s swords?
