Just wanted to post these two image compilations I’ve recently come across on 2ch. Credit goes to the anonymous 2channelers who created them, I just translated the names. Above one shows some of Japan’s most important animators at a glance, the image below a compilation of illustrations and drawings by notable animators. Comes in handy if you want some information on a certain animator’s style. And by the way, while I usually write Japanese names with given name first and surname second, I used the customary Japanese manner (surname first, given name second) in these images so that they match the characters.
Since there’s no illustration by Yutaka Nakamura in above picture, how about this one:
Damn, if you can, could you tell me where you can get the original picture for Hirofumi Suzuki? Looks like it was taken from a magazine. I’ve been looking for pictures of the Naruto duo for some time, but I haven’t been able to find either him nor Tsuru.
I think that Mastutake’s given name should be read as Tokuyuki instead of Noriyuki too.
Sorry, I don’t have an idea where to get the original picture. It doesn’t look like an excerpt of a magazine, but rather like a screenshot from a TV program or DVD extra. Since the picture says ‘original character design: Suzuki Hirofumi’, I think it was a feature regarding ‘Petite Cossette’.
And yup, of course you’re right with the ‘Tokuyuki’ reading. ‘Noriyuki’ is just so ingrained into me that I still have trouble readjusting…
