Shun Enokido from Fate Grand Order Lostbelt 3 CM

If we ever get another FGO adaptation Lostbelt 6 is the obvious front runner but it’s unfortunate that stories like 3 & 4 will likely be skipped over

Malcolm Wope’s anime debut on Attack On Titan

His animation paired with Iwao Teraoka board is some of the best action in AOT as a whole, utilising ODM gear in tighter person to person combat scenes. His next appearance will likely be on Lazarus, which he’s already confirmed for

“Road sign” was a name I’d been familiar with since their work on Takt Op & Wonder Egg, extremely talented

Nice to see them receiving heavy praise from a veteran in Hiromatsu Shuu for what seems to be heavy participations on the Ark Knights CM

Straight from Miton's catalogue of culture. Having worked under Studio Bind curious if there's anything in Mushoku that would fit their forming 'niche'

Throughout Onimai's run they also added their own original character in to the eps with varying degrees of subtlety

Key Animation: Yoshimichi Kameda 亀田 祥倫 🌆

Iwazawa/Fujimoto partnership at its best

China & Moaang's Just Call It Love MV came at a pretty poignant time in 2020

4:3 presents a whole new challenge when staging scenes, requiring precision when choosing whats important to include in the shot. It often evokes a sense of nostalgia fitting for a story of adolescence

Often I find sequences such as this one from Dress-Up Darling can be more engaging than the average action scene

Where high octane action sequences live by the 'rule of cool', slower scenes that depict the intricacies of daily life aim to captivate in an entirely different way

Manabu Otsuka leaving the Mappa offices after picking up yet another high profile project

Chainsaw Man's 12 individual endings were the epitome of true creative freedom.

12 unique takes on 'what CSM looks like'. Yuma Hirai's dingy monochrome blend of 2D & live action footage is maybe the best example of a vision we would never have seen without this concept

Missing Apothecary Diaries already, really was a welcome surprise

The 1st opening made it into my top 5 of last year. With an inherent focus on flowers & their symbolism, it was a nice idea to have Mao Mao's hands enter the frame from the bottom & open akin to a flower blooming
