Sakuga Over The Years (September 1998) KA: Shinji Hashimoto (橋本 晋治), (Artist Unknown) Movie: Spriggan (スプリガン) For some reason screenshots I’ve seen of this movie reminded me of Akira, which is weird because Otomo wasn’t involved with character designs at all, but he did have chief supervision over it so maybe there’s a bit of his touch throughout the movie? Anyways, this one’s directed by Hirotsugu Kawasaki with character designs by Hisashi Eguchi (both artists I’ve made posts on this thread so that’s pretty cool) and this is my first post for Shinji Hashimoto! He tends to do scenes similarly to Shinya Ohira at times as they’d work together often. He did a lot of really ambitious stuff here like the scene of the guy jumping of the building and the close combat stuff is masterful. Also the zoom out at the end is dope. I think this is all Hashimoto but Booru also has an unknown artist credited so it may not be just him.
