This did feel like a kou yoshinari show to work on for some reason
A really dumb question but, is Kou Yoshinari perhaps related to Yoh Yoshinari?

Kou is Yoh’s older brother
Fills me with joy to know that there will always be new generations of animation nerds to realize that the reason why he's nicknamed Aninari (& Yoh Otonari) is to mark who's the older sibling. This is the real cycle of life

Aw sick!
Aninari's work is always so striking. I love the bold linework and the lineless bit at the end.
Really impressive work yet again, though I have to admit I disagree with the choice to go so simple for the last cut. It took me out of the episode when I watched it, especially because the scene was so serious and the previous art was so detailed.
One of the best animators of all time

Wait, the meme became true. Where is Kraker when you need him?
Also, Kou background painting in the last cut?
Is it just me or does Aninari's art style fits perfectly in a hypothetical Berserk adaptation as an AD or Character Designer?
I always thought an aesthetic similar to that of Casshern Sins or even Chainsaw Man could fit the somber tone Berserk has. A Yamauchi/Umakoshi take on the series would do wonders imo
Was not expecting the Otomo homage

Almost 10 years old lol. *Ehem* Oh I get it now, Kou is the Yoshinari 'Aniki' hence Aninari.
I didn't know it was him, now it's pretty obvious
Maybe it's just me overthinking, but Maru's face at 0:20 has a quite much Katsuhiro Otomo style vibe, especially the nose and the way the eyes are designed resemble a lot his work on AKIRA, the manga even more than the anime.

Which would make a lot of sense, after all, according to what I've read Heaven's Delusion's author major inspiring artist is the very Otomo

I'm tempted to say I'd like to have the 97 character design, but tbh I think the designer for the golden age movies (who is... also Dororo's character designer, I believe?) would still fit perfectly. But that hypotetical adaptions need not to have that overly bright and light general aesthetic and possibly avoid abominable CGI (those puppets with plate mail bending like fabric.... -shivers-)
