Sakuga Over The Years (April 2012) KA: Takeshi Honda (本田 雄) Movie: A Letter To Momo (ももへの手紙) Full scenes: sakugabooru.com/post/show/24… sakugabooru.com/post/show/24… Another film at Production IG directed by Okiura, but this time it seems a lot more lighthearted. Masashi Ando is also here as a character designer, and he did character designs for Paranoia Agent and Paprika from Satoshi Kon. A lot of veteran animators appeared here like Toshiyuki Inoue, Shinya Ohira, Tetsuya Nishio, Yoh Yoshinari, Hiroyuki Aoyama, and as highlighted here Takeshi Honda. Honda animated 5 whole minutes on this movie with parts of it being some of his best work. His depiction of weight is unreal, just like Okiura himself, and it’s why I don’t know if I can say I like one more than the other since they’re both masters of their craft. This is also the first IG work produced by Keiko Matsushita, who would go on to lead the Haikyu production line, arguably the studio’s most ambitious team. Shinji Suetomi, Hideki Takahashi and Takashi Mukouda, who worked on this movie, would be strong contributors for the series alongside series director Susumu Mitsunaka (who’s also present on this movie)
