It's an incredibly cruel detail but the way the corpses stand and move from 0:06 seems very similar to the ant-walking people of Hiroshima after the nukes, think that's a direct reference.

0:10 - 0:11: Shibata

The beginning of this clip has the last 1 cut of my scene. Actually, the scene I was in charge of was the action scene before this one.

what the fuck this is great

This is amazing, holy shit.

lmaoooo the attack on titan reference

I think there's something wrong with my orange juice here.

the top credited 笹本強 is likely responsible for this scene. Unfortunately, it's a pen name of an established animator since they only have a few genga credits and no douga history which at the time would be uncommon

I would keep an eye on Gold/Silver #234, #240, #243, #252 as well as Advanced Generation #29 and #38, the only other episodes of Pokemon they're credited on, for something similar in style

outside of that, their only credits are on Madhouse's first season of Juubei-chan and CCS

update: skimmed through some of the episodes they're credited on and there's nothing even remotely notable - so it might just be a regular NC here

Is this confirmed anywhere? I still see the presumed tag in the child post

P. sure this is Dave Burgess.

Thanks, I saw now in his reel that he did another shot of these characters
