Well, Aura is better and older than Chuu2 - there were even some discussions on 2ch about it. And you should read a plot summary of Kyōkai no Kanata (the LN with the animated commercial by KyoAni) it sounds like a cheap Bakemonogatari clone.
KyoAni's LN branch is like a better doujin circle at the moment.
Have you read either of them? I didn't realise either of them were available in any language other than Japanese but then I don't really "follow" light novels at all.

That is true ... untill you start watching gundam age and then you'll realise that they created a new brand of worst characters in their own way
In a few minutes there is an interview with Hideaki Anno on a section of NTV's program Friday Road SHOW! (http://www.khara.co.jp/hideakianno/2012/09/000243.html), which reminds me... shouldn't the promotional campaign for his new film be commencing soon?
It is difficult to talk about consistency when mentioning animation production studios. Dedicated background work is mainly required on a project-by-project basis and fulfilled by different "animation background image" companies presenting variable degrees of relationship with the animation production studios themselves. In the case of Kyoto Animation it is true, when they mainly have strong ties with Korean ST.BLUE (formerly Ani Village) that makes the bulk of said work on practically every production they devise. As an example of the opposite, look at how many different studios one top player like ATELIER MUSA have collaborated with (http://www18.ocn.ne.jp/~musa/2_body_compInfo.htm).

Yeah. I still don't understand why they changed Gagalli so much in Destiny. She feels like completely different character compared to original SEED.

Yeah, I had really liked her in the original.
Lacus on the other hand, glad she did more in Destiny.

To give credit to where credits due:
The Brain's Base shot is from Studio Pable, I believe.
That shot of the moon is from Rinne, I believe? That's not an IG show.
Branduil doesn't care about transparency or facts! He is just looking to slander the good name of BONES for his liberal agenda!

The best Nausicaa clone, of course. Although she's obviously more fleshed out as a character.
Scrapped Princess had good backgrounds iirc.
Im sure other Bones shows have. eureka Seven was beautiful.

You've read about the kinds of lifestyles that people working on anime lead, right? It's not like insane schedules are anything new.
It's not like BONES doesn't do a good job of slandering themselves already!
It should also be pointed out that sometimes the production of background art is even more diversified than simply one anime production studio working with one background studio. There are also cases where an aime studio might contract an art director from one studio, while contracting the actual production of backgrounds to another studio. This would mean that while the original art direction and art setting materials could be extremely detailed or well planned, the actual production of backgrounds in the show itself might not fully reflect that. This would be similar to a show where the original character designs are detailed, unique and in-depth, but such is not reflected in the animation character designs.
In other cases though, it should also be pointed out that the anime studio itself could have a significant stake in the overall background art quality. While Ufotable for example does not produce 100% of the backgrounds and art direction and setting themselves (for Fate/Zero they partnered with Studio Easter), they do have a fully functional in-house art studio with their own art director, and background art team. This team collaborates with the art director and various staff at Studio Easter, while also working on their own art settings and in some cases handling the backgrounds for entire episodes on their own.
In the end, it really depends on how serious a studio is about having their own stamp on the quality assurance of a production, and how invested they are in making the product look good. The more they care, the more it shows in the end result.

Owch wonzo, don't go kicking duckroll when he's down. He's still suffering from the painful consequences of Eureka Seven Ao.

I never knew that, thanks for the info. To me, background art really isn't an important thing however.
The title of the show is Eureka Seven AO, not to be confused with the main character who is Fukai Ao. Get that right you traitorous cretin!
I should have listened to you from the start. Why.... why?! ._.

All around amazing episode, finally completely tieing things back to the event from the start of episode and more revelations. So good when Bakajima-kun rose to action.

Still hoping we get a Winnerjima-kun

When he called Morishita san after getting all the details and she got into the hospital, pure joy, so glad when the unthinkable happened and Nana awoke from her coma, tears of happiness.
Still hoping we get a Winnerjima-kun
Really hoping that that other girls group peole wont inhibit him from participating further in the election or losing votes, poor Chisato on litrally the happinest day of her life

You're quite the trooper having gotten this far
. Just a little bit more! And Final Plus too, if you're up for that (it's a slight improvement over the final episode).Edit: Never mind, you made it. Congrats

Is this the first work of WIT STUDIO? Handling assistance to Production I.G on an illustration book for the mascot of a fair? Worse fate than XEBEC confirmed!
coincidentally, and of lesser importance, the Kyoto international Manga Anime Fair 2012 began today (September, 21).

Don't take this too seriously (as I've said in other occasions)...
I see... and yeah, ufotable is always a good example of that and also of many other tasks (http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?p=37024444#post37024444), as they do part of practically everything, in regards to production, in-house.

The PV doesn't show much to get excited about, however what does make me somewhat interested in the production is something I read by a fan of the LN author, Romeo Tanaka. He describes it as an "anti-light novel" about escaping from escapism, and says it directly satires several popular LN series. How much of that will be evident in the film adaptation remains to be seen, of course.
Paranoia Agent 11
And here I was thinking that Gunslinger Girl was being unsubtle. Obviously, it has been too long since I've partaken of the right kind of Japanese media.
In a way there are two parts to this episode, one following Ikari and one following his wife. The former is the kind of character exploration the show was known for in the first part. A man down on his luck, going through his day, experiencing unusual things, grappling with his lot in life. It even contains, in visual metaphor, the same message we see in the other part, presented in a pretty interesting way. I liked those portions of the episode a great deal.
The latter part, on the other hand, is basically a lecture given by a single character. In the second half of the episode, it almost becomes a Galt-esque manifesto for the show's message. Well, thanks a lot! Now I know what Paranoia Agent is all about!
It's almost like the two portions were written by completely different people. And one of them is Hideo Kojima or Mari Okada.
The next episode looks like it's exactly like what I'd always wanted the show to do, by which I mean it's nothing like what I wanted the show to do.

You know, the kind of Japanese media that delivers monologues against completely empty backgrounds.
