I'm so happy to see Kamiyama Kenji's name again!

Saying that, I don't expect all that much...He's great at TV series but terrible with movies. The last one he directed was a mess. ><

Otherwise, it does look good visually at least.

Koyama Shigeto, the show's mechanical designer, was part of the team that designed Baymax.

In my opinion, Kenji Kamiyama is more suited to films than he is to series; each episode of Stand Alone Complex is essentially a short film, and Higashi no Eden heavily follows the three-act structure of a dramatic movie. I think it's about time he gives this a shot.

He's a great director either way, so I can see why you'd want the most out of it.

Jizzy as you would call yourself because youre a dick The most butthurt award goes to you And clearly you havent watched that many shows thats why you cant determine if a show is unique or not Or maybe you're just a child who likes common stuffs where hero saves the day and guys gets all the girls. Sad taste you have there kid you came up to me in the first place making you look more like a kid who got slapped without me even knowing it and start crying about it to me

ah no, Digital animation doesn't mean CG they just don't use paper but work on Flash and have a lot of merits since it improve the efficiency.

This CM for example is done by digital animators

A Big Hero 6 anime? Interesting. May watch. I want to hear more before I truly decide, though.
