Otsuka spinoff school lineage

The Otsuka Lineage 

Otsuka School 
Yasuo Otsuka
Toshiyuki Inoue 
Hiroshi Shimizu 

Iso School
Mitsuo Iso
Kenichi Yoshida
Ayumi Kurashima
Kiyotaka Oshiyama

*Mitsuo Iso began his career briefly at Neo Media by being taught simultaneously, yet indirectly and rather seldomly by Hiroaki Goda, Yuji Moriyama (an Ide schooler using mainly Yamashita like designs) and Katsuhiko Nishijima (a Goda schooler using mainly Itano like designs), themselves friends of both Hideaki Anno and Ichiro Itano. Then again, as Iso’s frames are more similar to those of Motosuke Takahashi and Katsuhiko Nishijima, he merged both design styles with the now late Otsuka’s while innovating them all with his own full limited process, the IsoLocation, allowing the rise of anime fluidity for decades to come. Though based on Takahashi’s old style yet clearly blended into Moriyama’s playfulness, Nishijima’s intensity and Goda’s bawdiness, it’s still a relevant surprise renovation in the anime world even today.

Although she’s confusingly called...
