Strong first half from Studio Wanpack! I enjoyed that a lot more than Shimanuki's half. Not really sure what's going on with him this tournament - he's a bit all over the place. At least his personally robotic animation worked well... with the robots.
The thing that stood out the most to me was the storyboard. Kiyosato Yamamoto seems to have some serious skill. Hope to see more episodes from him under good directors and animators. Lots of potential there.
Ken Otsuka most likely did the gattai, but he usually tweets about his work, so I'll wait for confirmation. Those more familiar with his style pointed to some scenes in the first half as being his too, but I've yet to take a closer look.
Hakamada's looking good in the NEP. Seems very much in line with his contributions on Z and GT. Hopefully Karasawa's also on point. It's been far too long since we last saw a great deal of him. The little moment in 114 wasn't enough!
