Er, Yuasa didn't work on any episodes in season 1 of Dandy. His episode is in the second season (its #16). You are right about Choi & Aymeric though. Mihara also worked on Dandy (#6) but when Choi's episode aired he tweeted that he had a fight with her at some point (probably during Kick-heart) and wont work with her again, so he probably won't show up on Ping Pong. Yuasa had to resort to tweeting looking for both episode directors and animators for Ping Pong buuuut he seems to have found enough directors. The real worry is whether or not he has enough animation staff to get everything done. There's a ton of animation talent at Tatsunoko (see the staff who worked on the recent Yozakura Quartet) so hopefully Yuasa gets access to them for this.

I'll have to go find it myself but basically when episode 9 was airing, or right after it finished, he tweeted something about it having good direction but he had a fight with that person, or something similar. Another thing is that we know for sure Mihara is working on a second episode of Dandy for the second half so he's super busy with that, making it even less likely he'll work on Ping Pong.  edit: Ok so this tweet is still up https://twitter.com/mictimiha/status/440131098387832832 However there is a second, now deleted, tweet which is the one where he said he wouldn't work with her again. I'll try and find a copy of it. aers fucked around with this message at 17:35 on Apr 8, 2014 |

Funimation has the US license and one of the UK streaming sites probably has it, so that makes sense. Note that there's also a 6 month delay for France since Wakanim (probably) has the French license.

My favorite part of the episode was actually Choi's solo ED, but I'm pretty biased towards that kind of stuff.

For those wondering about the OP, there was a pre-screening/talk event and people who attended said there is an OP coming eventually. There's a rumor going around animation circles based on the talk event that the OP is being done by Shinya Ohira, if that's true it should be nothing short of amazing.

laplace posted:Also, I am glad the OP is changing every week. That's super cool. If the rumors about Ohira are true (And I'm sure they are -- Yuasa mentioned that he wanted to work with Ohira again when I interviewed him during all the Kick-Heart stuff) I'm sure the results will be impressive. Well, we got proof: https://twitter.com/honnyaku_blog/status/457421067535937536 Still don't know when we're seeing the actual OP, but the KA list is amazing.

laplace posted:Miyazawa Yasunori (maybe) The guy who tweeted that/wrote down the KA list is a Japanese animation fan who goes to basically every pre-air/talk show event he can, he scribbles down as many names from the credits as he can remember. The maybe is because he just wasn't sure, probably!

Ping Pong has an OP, and it owns.

Now that it actually aired, I'll post again that the OP is the brainchild of Shinya Ohira. He directed, storyboarded, animation directed, and also contributed KA to it (current animation-nerd-guess is that he did the B&W stuff right at the start). This is only the second time he's done an OP, the other being Sci-Fi Harry, which you can watch here if you want to see some more nutso stuff.

If you wanna see some cool stuff check this twitter: https://twitter.com/bahijd He worked on episode 3 but due to unmentioned reasons (probably deadline/schedule related) none of his cuts made it into the episode. He was still in the credits though. He's posting a ton of his production materials.  Holy crap he was doing basically the entire climax and it didn't make it in. drat.

ninjewtsu posted:Man is that where all the animation went in this episode? This is the guy who got his stuff all cut right? It actually kinda bothered me how little animation there was this last episode, way too much of it just felt like static pictures with flapping mouths and it bugged the hell out of me, the art in this show looks so fantastic when it's animated. Yeah that's all Bahi's stuff, based on the cut #s and matching the roughs to what we got, he was animating the majority of the climax of the episode. Its pretty obvious what we got is still using the exact same storyboards from Yuasa, but it was done in a hurry to fill for this stuff not making it. Ping Pong's production is extremely tight even for anime. Yuasa started storyboarding it in the middle of January and has been running at a pace of one episode/10 days. He is currently (maybe finished by now) working on the storyboard for episode 11, the last one. Since storyboards are necessary before any animation can be done, the animation for this show wouldn't have started until around February at the earliest. On a lighter note, here's a shot of Ohira's storyboard for the OP https://twitter.com/pingpong_anime/status/460677923771404288 aers fucked around with this message at 08:01 on Apr 30, 2014 |

We asked Bahi about that and he said he has no idea if they'll make it in. We can hope!

There's some sort of Ping Pong production exhibition on today so here's some shots of the production material! https://twitter.com/honnyaku_blog/status/470387822138896385/photo/1 Ohira's OP storyboard. You can only see some of it in the background but it looks pretty detailed. https://twitter.com/honnyaku_blog/status/470395056944214017/photo/1 For contrast? Yuasa's storyboard from an episode. He was cranking these out 10 days per episode in a real rush, so there's basically minimal detail in the drawing. The notes are important, but this really shows he trusts his staff to get things done without extremely detailed storyboarding.

Science Saru is an extremely small studio that does animation in flash (check out the credits for Ping Pong, they've been credited every episode since the first; the same animators that worked on Food Chain, even) so don't expect anything big from them in the next, well, ever. When Ping Pong first aired and they showed up in the credits we did some digging and it was pretty obvious it was Choi/Yuasa's studio (http://www.sciencesaru.com/2013/01/). I don't mean to imply doing animation in flash is bad (Bahi does it), they're just explicitly credited for it, which is pretty interesting.
