Episode Director: Masahiko Otsuka (ED of Gurren-Lagann 1) Script: Nakashima again. Animation Direction: Atsushi Nishigori (AD of Gurren-Lagann 1) Storyboard: Hiroyuki Imaishi (SB for Dead Leaves, FLCL 5, Gurren-Lagann 1, chief director of this series) 9 Episode Director: Tarou Iwasaki (ED of various FMA episodes and Eureka Seven 27) Script: Nakashima again.

Looking at the staff of episode 7 and 8 I think we can safely assume that these two episodes are probably going to be climatic and somewhat important plot-wise.

For Morimiya, he's not really a newbie. It's just that everything he did isn't in ANN's database either and I didn't feel like adding stuff into D-Gray Man and Comic Party and so on. It's fair to say ep10 and 11 have a fair share of "nobodies" at the helm, which might either be refreshing or disastrous. There's a rumor going around that ep9 is going to be animated by BONES, like how ep3 was animated by Xebec. We'll see if that pans out. Right now I'm just hyped for the ep7-8 two part finale to the first arc. :D |

hmmm...so her name is Niru huh? http://img177.imageshack.us/img177/7051/04wu7.th.jpg Niru. Who is she then any idea? Just random member from Guren dan? http://www.gainax.fr/multimedia/gallery/gurren/010.jpg Random blurb of ep 7-11? There is a spoiler floating around somewhere and I totally miss those then - -; |
:heh: So Niru is most probably Nia? It's nice how Imaishi considers episode 9 late series. Are those blurbs from one of the June magazines?
I still expect something nice from episode 10... Kimura's ZS SB were quite good for a low-key atmosphere and I'm biased for Nakamura. |
Spoiler for ep 7:

However it is very likely that the battleship which will apear in ep 7 will be used as a mother ship for Guren-dan after the episode. Whos know it might be able to fly in space already. Now they can fly to the Moon! |
Spoiler for ep 7:
