It's not impossible ... well, honestly I don't know. But if they can get their hands on guys like Nakamura Yutaka or Kameda Yoshimichi (also working a bit on Gargantia), then it's a win.

hmm ... Where's duckroll when we need him?

Is this going to become a common trait with new anime? Didn't this same thing happen with Girls und Panzer?

For whatever its worth, when asked about it the company responsible for the french simulcast said that this is what was happening: they've just been granted a budget increase and can now hire more animators than initially planned.

Interesting, this is probably the best news I've heard this year if that's the case.

Very good news if true, and I'm inclined to believe it if the high pre-order ranks are anything to go by.

What they need is more Toshiyuki Inoue, Takeshi Honda, , Yoh Yoshinari, Hiroyuki Okiura and Iso Mitsuo for the Titans. Yukata Nakamura and Kameda are good for the Spiderman scenes.

Not quite familiar with Hiroyuki Okiura and Takeshi Honda, but I do know Iso and Inoue are just as fine with the spider man scenes. Yoh Yoshinari might be really busy with Trigger so I don't know if it's even worth to mention the guy, but damn, if he were to be somehow involved he might as well ...

Spoiler for not really spoilers though:

do all the titan scenes and dem explosions himself! ... he's also probably just as good as Nakamura for the spidermen vs Titans

Kind of O/T and this may be an odd question for the several of you previous to this post, but how do you know which animator is doing what in the various shows/episodes? I take it you have a particular interest in the artists. Just curious, since I find it impressive you can riddle off names like that!

In other news: good job guys, one down:

ANN has nice big database of staff listing thoughout various parts of an anime's production.

For example: Nakamura Yutaka

They're normally listed in credits section of show on ANN's anime pages.

Spoiler for About Hannes Importanceness as a Character:

He is just a background character who pops up from time to time.

damn i thought he was kinda interesting. oh well thank any way.

[Raviel]

If anything, Hannes is probably going to be the main face of the Garrison troops (read: the regular army).

[Allium]

Not really sure where to put this, so:

1st SnK BD to come with 'Prototype' manga.

The manga bundled with the initial copies of the first Attack on Titan Blu-ray Disc/DVD volume will be the "prototype" manga that original creator Hajime Isayama drew when he was only 19 years old.

[Helius]

Even more awful than how he draws now? Lol this I gotta see.

That would work much better in the music video thread, where it belongs.
