The studio, BUG FILMS, is a relative newcomer and seems never to have been a lead studio before, but they make one hell of a splash here. A lot of animators grew up on Gainax, and that runs deep, but you don’t often see it expressed so overtly as here. Director Kawagoe Kazuki is a disciple of Watanabe Ayumu and writer Seko Hiroshi one of the best in the industry, but no direct Gainax links to be found.Ĭlearly, then, these are fans – and an awful lot of Gainax influence in the industry comes through that channel to be sure. And I usually find some, though none of the big names here seem to be connected. The first thing I do after one of those premieres is check the staff list for Gainax expats. Many seasons have those, though they aren’t as common as they were a few years ago. It’s also this season’s “more Gainax than Gainax” entry. It’s the first series that’s dramatically exceeded my expectations ( Undead Girl Murder Farce did to an extent, but because of the director I expected more there). Zom 100 is a couple of pretty big “firsts” this season.
