This is so fucking educational.

Playing this side by side with the final version answers questions I didn't even know I had about Nakamura's relationship with the other hands that touched this scene - as well as understanding some of his core habits. Now it's easier for me to imagine the genga of his other works.
I don't even know if this question makes sense:

Assuming the 1st key animator only provides layout, is the person who turns it into genga, credited as the 2nd KA?

I guess I'm just needing clarification what the 2nd KA is usually responsible for.

2nd key animation is a clean-up role that is a smaller part of the overall correction process, it isn't always necessary but when the work of the original rough genga of the key animators is too rough, unpolished, or flat-out unfinished. they go over the work and clean up what is needed. however, this specific clip is a mixture of finished Genga and unfinished rough genga which makes it look confusing.
