Absolutely incredible episode. So far, this is the best fight hands down and yet it's not even the best one.

I couldn't remember for the life of me if Itadori did use a black flash in the manga during this fight and I got really fooled by 0:04 being similarly boarded to how they did it during the one Nobara and Itadori did.

Itadori didn't use Black Flash here (Although, he should have :( ).

Juny did the cut of Yuji's punch that's intercut with DoctorBean's Choso from 0:04 - 0:09. Once the screen is black it's all DoctorBean. Juny's cut was corrected by Yosuke Yajima as CAD (the hair was slightly touched, but everything else is pretty much redrawn).

Great AD corrections

I don't believe yet :0

Can someone remind me what the circled numbers and triangled number mean? Triangle = key frame ? Circle = inbetween ? And number without symbol around ?

Xaryen said:
generally speaking
letter(layer) + number, one or both optionally circled: genga/keyframe

letter(layer) + number(sometimes with decimals), triangle: nakawari - rough drawing as a reference for the tweens

just number, circled: douga/inbetweens(including cleaned up keyframes)

Confirmed privately.

Didn't knew he worked in this, thanks

This guy knows how to draw these designs. The armor is a pain in the ass.

Not much tbh since the designer was heavily involved to help in the production, everyone in the staff did an awesome job, it moves pretty well.

This was originally Sirbirbsalot but was likely redrawn by Takagi.

This cut was done by Sheen

0:34 - 0:43 Tatsuya Miki

Looks a lot like Takahiro Kagami

The old post still exists, and it's credited to Toshiharu Sugie, turns out it wasn't Sugie?

thanks for catching that, just a mistake by the uploader

the scene is likely Sugie's with heavy corrections from Takahiro Kagami

Saint Seiya The Lost Canvas is fantastic, incredible character designs by Yūko Iwasa & it's probably her best work ever, meticulous animation (very attentive to every detail) without never giving up with its ambition, add this to excellent direction & storyboard composed of genius camera work we end up getting such an animation sequence like this.

シャドウバースF#65、ギガントキマイラのシーンとかやってます ミスティックキングはお願いして描かせてもらいました よろしくお願いします

The animation is phenomenal but the texturing and rendering of the dragons lookd so weird in comparison, we can see that tanjiro is holding onto nothing in cut 1

Outside of backgrounds, ufotable has never had good CGI.

Ok let’s chill out there

Here we see a bad texture mapping and bad rendering CGI dragon example. Also The vfx artst here couldn't animate 3d model properly and in some scenes lighting looks unfinished. However, If I am not wrong, this guy also did some cgi dragon scenes in Tales of Zestiria The X which was pretty done there. So that means, They had less time to prepare those cgi models

"Here we see...". Well, I don't see anything. Tbh, those are all just empty statements without any reasoning, making it a glorified "CG bad", therefore I can simply disagree with It. And the second part is just nonsense, not only because of the "this guy" part but also because ToZX was their 2nd tightest production because of God Eater's delays, so your guess makes no sense.

no need to be so rude lol
