Anime ED: Hanamaru Kindergarten ED 7.

It's 4 in the morning and I just couldn't have a nice good sleep this night.I also dropped the "???" part of this series. Whatever. Here's an ED that might have gotten overlooked due to the show that it's a part of. As you might know, Hanamaru Kindergarten had this thing where they changed the ED every episode. Sayo Yamamoto directed the first one, Shin Itagaki directed the fourth, Ryo-timo (also known as Ryousuke/Ryoochimo Sawa) directed and animated the 6th one and Masahiko Murata did the same for the 10th one. But this one is the best of them all.




Hanamaru Kindergarten ED 7

Director/Animation: Osamu Kobayashi (director of Beck, Paradise Kiss, Someday's Dreamers: Summer Skies and ep. 4 of Gurren Lagann).


Kobayashi's style (I believe in particular the mouth and hair movement) is especially off putting to many if the reaction to the 4th episode of Gurren Lagann is to be taken seriously. But I find it to be especially refreshing. It was interesting to note while watching episode 4 of GL the stark contrast of something that was clearly an Imaishi show being done with a different sensibility for the movement that is a big part of the attraction for viewers. That is what made the episode so unpopular, but this type of animation can be pretty appealing.
