simple–x:I’m watching Samurai Champloo for the first time (I know, I should have watched this years ago), when something pretty exciting turned up in episode 9. The animation style totally changed for about 30 seconds and I immediately said “that’s some Yuasa shit!” Google confirmed that it was indeed the great Masaaki Yuasa who key animated this scene. Just look at the way he’s playing with perspectives here! Every time I see his work I grow more and more convinced that he’s the most talented animator working in Japan these days.Another fun fact, apparently Hiroyuki Imaishi (director of Kill la Kill, also has a seriously impressive resume) storyboarded this episode. -- source link
