I'm guessing you haven't had the misfortune of working with someone like him. I really hope you don't :/


Everyone is a noob in the beginning. But did everyone blamed the others for his own incompetence. It's immature and counterproductive. One can clearly see the difference b/w him and Endou. When Endou was scolded directly for blaming others for his own misgivings, he took it to heart and went to fix the things somehow, because he loves his work and wants it done.
Takanashi created a problem for the whole studio, disrupted the workflow by thinking only for himself, expecting someone else to do his job, and clean his mess. Please, don't offend "airheads". They may lack awareness and self-organization, but they aren't irresponsible and egoistical brats.

* His age is irrelevant. They could be in their 50's and cling, and survive, and flourish everywhere they are not yet fired for some reason.*

:)


Took the words out of my mouth. Props to you!

Seriously Takanashi is a cancer. I've seen people like him around. Messes shit up and gets other people to fix his stuff, whilst not reporting the issue to the higher ups. I tell you, if he had the chance, he'd probably lie and tell Honda that it was all Miyamori's fault and have her be the fall girl, specially considering no one but Miyamori knows who fucked things up. It's a blessing in disguise that he's such an idiotic turd who cannot even properly set up other people like that.

If Takanashi is my coworker, I would already punched him lol. This guy is just plain irresponsible
He reflects real life so much :D

wait... didn't Takanashi screw something in episode 1? I think it was him - so looking at what he is doing and making some guesses about how many people want to do stuff like this, he should be fired rather quickly.

also Miyamori, I would like to say that I feel sorry for her but I'm not. it was clear from the start that mess that he did, will come to her.

that cage... this is an interesting idea.

So many things has happened again which turned into a crisis
The 2D versus 3D animation debate was a very interesting one with Kitano saying reflecting words about
Not only Endou was impressed by that
Honda locking up Seiichi was a hilarious scene

I like the way they are still attaching the names to most of the characters that shows up, since it's such a huge cast passing by each time
"Honey and Clover" title was dropped and more I have to look up if they are using real names here from the industry
It would be even more interesting if it did

Nah, he is shown to have a change of heart after actually seeing the 3D animation at the end of the episode, the real problem lies with Takanashi and all of his bullshit.

-He sucks at relaying messages, resulting in miscommunications and misunderstandings.
-He doesn't report it immediately out of fear of getting scolded
-He drags down other people with his problems.

I know their intent of trying to make him as the "funny" goof up character, but there's nothing funny about the things he does, especially for people who has worked in a group before.

Ah man Takanashi is a pain to deal with, poor wording choice and all. Gotta love sassy Miyamura.

Man that was intense. I see the reason they use 3D now. Glad Endou is actually seeing things through. And Takanashi is a big big big pain.

I have to agree that Takanashi is a pain in the ass. It's quite a miracle he is not yet fired at this point.

Anyway I liked the episode. I kind of miss the connection between all the girls in the beginning promising each other to make an anime. That main plot seemed very interesting, but in a lot of episodes I don't see any progression whatsoever.
I hope they will add this to the current plot asap!

Takanashi is problematic as a character. Too many negative traits. Not only incompetent and unwilling to improve, but also a personality that is selfcentred, inconsiderate and with a slight malicious streak in blaming others. Who also manages to keep his job despite so many wanting it.

It makes him more of a villain than a 'realistic' character. Which doesn't fit this anime.

This was a pretty great episode, and it brings up some issues that often are debated among fans 2D vs 3D. Plus it has the added bonus of developing the director a bit, sure he's a man-child, but he wants to create the best story that he can, and that is commendable.

Who knows, maybe he'll get his shit together eventually. Until then, he will be the hate sink.

Hilarious episode. "I'm going to become a demon!"

I'm starting to get an appreciation for some of the characters now. As much as everyone agrees Takahashi is annoying. I find such a character to be useful because such is life. There are some co-workers you just have to put up with.

5/5

A dilemma that is becoming increasingly important as part of the animation but also covers a small part of the end user.
Episode from the topic interesting, narratively sound, not too serious, however, and without falling into banality with funny lines but not silly.
Not bad plot that moves the prospect albeit slightly away from Miyamori.
Takanashi is a funny bastard! LOL
Drawings and animations were good.
I really like this anime.

Why? The 3D isn't what made that show good.

Anyway in terms of the 2D vs 3D argument, i beleive for explosions etc 3D is cool but for human characters it just doesn't cut it.
They move very doll like and look fake as fuck.

Oh boy, Takanashi caused a huge mess. I wonder how he'll get out of that one. He should be fired for causing such a hold up.


Poor Endou, he's a die hard 2D animator and his position is being taken by a 3D animator.


Now Miyamori is in the same predicament as Takanashi.

Having a colleague like Takanashi is one of the worst things that can happen to you in the workplace. If he doesn't get put into place by management, he's going to bring the production down.

I loved the Ichiro Itano reference. I was also pleasantly surprised at the positive outlook on foreign 3D animation expressed by him: It's not a zero-sum game. Both 3D and 2D can combine for the best possible result.

Great that they covered future of anime, it's really bad to see more and more badly done CG.
I also think that 3D could never deliver the same feel as traditional 2D animation and it would be bad if traditional animes slowly died out in favor of computer generated cookie-cutter clones (like what happened with Disney).

It was nice to see what problems they have to resolve when running to the end line. It's all careful planning and compromising on the way and one stumble can be huge problem for everyone.
(it's also nice to see some humbleness from P.A.Works with regard to their failed summer Glasslip mess).

Takanashi is seriously cracking me up, he's quite the character. "Now you're in the same situation as me (grin)." I can't stop thinking of Ozu's mischievous nature from Tatami Galaxy either since they're by the same seiyuu.

It was interesting that this episode touched on the 2D vs 3D debate a bit. As a viewer there are certainly times when 3D shines but I agree with Endou that there's more personality and passion put into the hand drawn style and that it shouldn't go extinct.

Sidonia animation SUCK, if the story not interesting enough I'll definitely drop it.

anyway.

is this episode try to launch campaign to support using 3D (for most scenes) for all anime from now on!?

no wonder nowadays japan release so many anime but most of them suck, so anime studio using 3D to work less. basically they choose quantity over quality!

like Endo said, as anime animator if you want to create 3D animation, get the fuck out of japan and go to 'murican

not mentioning there are so many crappy CGs in this anime so far.

Yeah. Looks like Director Kinoshita Seiichi directed "Honey and Clover", reference to "Hachimitsu to Clover".

The Honey and Clover reference was nice, but "Full Naked Hypnotist" takes the cake.

Surely he can't get away with all of this, something has got to spin around and whack him when he doesn't expect it.
