Sano spinoff school lineage

The Sano Lineage 

Matsuo School 
Shin Matsuo 
Masayoshi Tano > Hiromi Niioka 
Hanako Ueda 

*The Matsuo school is more closely linked with the Yamashita effects school even though it’s a Sano school, partly due to showing off a stronger tendency for shivering camera effects and crotch shots. It’s also a Taniguchi Anno hybrid, having become somehow more divergent by adding in Moriyasu Taniguchi’s heavier details while also using relatively fewer frames a la Hirotoshi Sano from the late 1980s onward.

Sano School 
Hirotoshi Sano 
Masanori Shino 
Eiji Nakada
Atsushi Ikariya 

*Hirotoshi Sano’s Yamashita Itano hybrid school is likely where Masami Obari and his gaggle of friends ended up after being influenced by Hideaki Anno’s many details. Though his effects come from Yoshinori Kanada and Satoshi Hirayama, his designs still remain a mix of Masahito Yamashita’s and Ichiro Itano’s designs, which explains why his style remains highly obvious.

The Habara Lineage 

Habara School 
Nobuyoshi Habara 
Kumiko Ito 

*The Habara school is considerably a more innovative school than others in the Itano lineage, having merged Hideki Tamura’s cartoony liquid timing and Shinsaku Kozuma’s hang on loose style while maintaining plushy Itano depths, thus it also has inspired the more orthodox Yamashita effects school (otherwise a major part of the Kanada lineage) to find its true footing, since its founding elder Masahito Yamashita indeed was initially inspired by Osamu Dezaki’s prototypical Wakame shadows, Toshiki Hirano’s floofy curves and Minoru Maeda’s puni designs, while still being better known as someone who leans more faithfully to Asami Endo’s very playful style even today.

Rarotonga and her complicated legacy

Apart from Rubi, which spawned its own bigger franchise, there is no Mexican adult comic as captivating as Rarotonga, even though it’s rather stereotypical by both Mexican and most developed countries’ standards. Otherwise, keep in mind that despite its inherent objectification and misogyny (racism is also pretty bad in the comic, albeit not as obvious as the moderately toned down sexism), it remains the better written (1970s onward) and more captivating reboot of a 1950s Mexican adult comic named Taboo, which itself couldn’t hold up much in as early as the sixties, rather tellingly due to being more blatantly flagrant in terms of sexism than even the original Astro Boy manga created in 1952.  As suggested by looking at her somewhat ambiguous features in such a comic (itself somewhat fair for its day), Rarotonga surely is one of Mexican comics’ first mixed race baddies to gain consistent international popularity (at least in much of Latin America). Although she’s confusingly called...

Konno and the Web Kanada Movement

The Web Kanada Movement is now a popular breeding ground for many limited frame animators throughout the world, and it’s perhaps due to an unsuspecting Studio Break fanboy expanding anime movement vocabulary altogether. There still is a surprising growth in the use of ‘Konno/Web-Kanada smears’ as a regular tool thanks to Yuki Hayashi being partly inspired by Konno himself.  Being the only predominantly Alt-Kanada founder out of an indirect bunch, Naoyuki Konno has fathered the Web-Kanada movement by innovating quite a lot of batshit, then-little known ideas from the mid-1990s and beyond. With his otherwise realistic shading thanks to Studio Break’s influence, he also created what are now called the ‘Konno/Web-Kanada smears’ for everyone to see!  Being a studio break fanboy at heart, Naoyuki Konno also has animated surfing, Glen Keane-ish Super Robot scenes in Martian Successor Nadesico, which funnily enough resemble a lot of Disney’s Tarzan tree surfing scenes. He’s also the f...

Why do we?

Isn’t it interesting when you’ve been looking for a ton of anime terminologies that deserve to get attention? There are so many Pers-Kun movement terminologies that deserve international recognition mainly because it’s actually pretty hard to document such terminologies.  Obari Pers-Kuns  Obarism: The highly similar approaches that Masami Obari and his friend Yousuke Kabashima amongst the Obarians animate very complex yet still readable things that go side by side.
