Just wondering if anyone knows if "Animation Runner Kuromi" was done in CG or cels? I really liked this OVA when I saw it several years ago. Here is a link if you are curious http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/encyclo ... hp?id=1146

They showed only working on storyboards, key animation... The in-betweens were shipped overseas and I saw no "cel painters'.... Can anyone confirm for me if it's all CG? Thanks!

I would be certain that the show was done CG since it was produced by Yumeta company animation studio.

All the shows they have been involved with are all CG.

My first impression is that it was computer colored, but I'm not the person to ask. I don't collect from it and I've only been looking in the paper sections for so long.

I think I've seen stuffs before, but I have no firm proof. That's what records are supposed to be for, but they're failing me right now.

EPIC FAIL

Thanks for the info JWR. That's really making me think it's CG.

Just like you Keropi, I do think it was computer colored mostly because I don't see the defined lines of a typical cel. It was a bit confusing since I'm so used to really fluid and colorful CG anime now... But this reminds me that initially CG anime was a bit awkward too (drawing wise). I guess practice makes perfect.
