Hey would you please add Higurashi Gou and Sotsu to the Post-Shaft stack? It features Watanabe Akio's character design and even a scene with Shaft headtilt despite being made by Passione

Hello there. Thank you very much for the friend request! :)

Why is the second season of Tomozaki-kun better than the first one?

If I may suggest a few anime for the Post-Shaft interest stack:

D.C. Da Capo III, the original Ongaku Shoujo, Sakura Trick (all directed by Ishikura Kenichi, a series director on seasons of Natsu no Arashi and Hidamari and episode director on a lot of other Shaft shows. Sakura Trick is less recognizable than the other ones, and I can only guarantee the first episode for both that and Da Capo)

Medaka Box (directed by Saeki Shouji, whose main contribuition was in the ShaftxGainax collabs but whose style here resembles Shaft a lot, especially in the last episode of season 2, but he worked as an episode director in many Shaft anime throughout the years and recently came back to the studio as the director of Lily, Luminous Witches (all without Shinbou though))

Softenni (directed by Kamitsubo Ryouki, director of season 1 of Hidamari Sketch, episode director on others. Again, I only watched an episode)

Hyakko (directed by Michio Fukuda, who storyboarded a lot of early Shaft anime, also with Kamitsubo Ryouki. The only episodes that feel like Shaft are episode 1 and 12, though, but episode 1 is a great example of it)

Nourin (this is another Shin Oonuma show, but it's notable for the use of many of the same stylistic flourishes of Paniponi Dash (like having chibi versions of the characters flying along the screen), but also for having a character who's pretty much just Becky, the protagonist of Paniponi, as a side-character)

Comic Girls (directed by Yoshinobu Tokumoto, episode director on Negima and Monogatari, with some shinbouisms at least on episode 1)

There's also this Fate/GO PV https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kYZkoV7KsY8 that might have Tatsuya Oishi or someone else from Bake/Kizu working under a pen name, though it's not on MAL, produced by A-1 pictures.

Thx

Hey thx for the req. Nice favs

Thank you for accepting me, I hope you are well. Take care.

youve apparently sent me a friend request a long while ago

i appreciate this

Oh, I get it. Thanks for answering and thanks for explaining.

I didn't look too deep into the staffs before asking, I just looked at the directors. But now that you mention it it makes sense, I also know that he worked with Shinbou on SoulTaker, there's even a character there that inspired Senjougahara Hitagi's design. So yeah, really, Akio's presence gives it a Shaft vibe. And yeah, I also understand the similarities you've picked up on them.

you could add Rozen Maiden (2013) in your post-shaft list

also, why are Kaminomi, Grisaia and Gyakuten Sekai on the list?

I feel where you're coming from, its nice to see the variation, I myself still haven't explored the realm of the 90's or anything before that, but it sure it something interesting that I would like to try out once in a while. Like you, I have also been focusing on seasonal anime since 2020 and alongside that I have been watching other random anime as well.

I'm curious, what's the seasonal meetup that you are talking about??

Hey, looking at your favorite anime list, it seems you're into the old school anime huh? Thats pretty awesome!

thanks for the request, nice to meet you!
