Farewell Masayuki Kouda

[artondrius]

Recently one of Shippuden's great animators, Masayuki Kouda, was taken off of the anime to go direct a new Pierrot series. I am sad ot see him go, but hopefully he will return after he has finished working on his new project.

Here are some examples of his animation.

Yes, the thread title made it sound as if the man was dead.

I was not the only one then xD

 

[Deadai]

Ah! but I love it when Naruto does that style of animation!
who will replace him!?

 

[narutocentral]

He's alright some of those examples werent all that good but hey what do i know.. IM just a guy on a computer eating a donut.

 

[Hori]

Well I don't care about the guy... as long as anime keeps coming out.

 

[vasu 32]

[artondrius]

hahaha I did realize that seconds after posting, too bad you can't edit topic titles.

 

[Kurome]

Well I don't care about the guy... as long as anime keeps coming out.

Yeah, i don't care either. There are other guys out there that do a good job animating U_U

 

[Byron123]

Well that's kind of a "duh" thing, it's ****ing Norio lol

But Pierrot doesn't seem to hire him any more either. The last bit of animation he did was in the Kyuubi vs Pain episode 167

He did a section of Shippuden 290 too.

OT: Erhmagawd, I thought you were going to say he was dead or something. Phew! I prefer Masayuki's artwork over Norio anyway, the latter is good but not very interesting. But the fact that Kishimoto's artwork was pretty awful back in Part 1 is a credit to Norio for being able to work with it so well.
