>>2092767>>2093045Holy shit, katsuya Kondo is quite an initiate
>He learned everything with Osamu Dezaki (hte greatest disciple of Tezuka himself) in Annapuru Studio during the 60s>He worked with MGM (mighty orbots) and Disney (gummi bears) during the 80's>He drew every episode of "Cat's Eyes" himself for Tsukasa motherfucking Hojo in the 80's>He was behind ANY SINGLE Ghibli, the so-called Miyzaki design is actually Kondo's design>HE is the reason "Denno Coil" looked so familiarThis guy knew the secrets of both western and japanese animation, of both post-war and post-cold war cartoons to make a character attractive.
And he is still active, "Wind Rises" will exit in theatres this month and its again his design.
I bet my balls he met Shinkai sooner or later, if he did not already met him
Katsuya Kondo is THE Ubermangaka
