Studio Research Presentation

For my presentation I discussed one of my favourite studios I would like to work for, Studio Bones.

Studio Bones is based in Japan Tokyo and was founded in 1998 by Masahiko Minami and co-founders Hiroshi Ōsaka and Toshihiro Kawamoto.

Masahiko Minami: Anime Producer and President of Bones

Hiroshi Osaka: Animator, Character Designer, Illustrator and Co-Founder

(passed away 2007)

Toshihiro Kawamoto: Animator, Co-Founder and Director of Bones

Animations I know them for:

- Fullmetal Alchemist: Masahiko Minami (Producer), Hiroshi Osaka (Animation Direction Assistance), Toshihiro Kawamoto (Opening and Ending Key Animation).

- Sword of the Stranger: Masahiko Minami (Producer), Toshihiro Kawamoto (Co-Animation Director, Key Animation).

- Wolf's Rain: Hiroshi Osaka (Animation Director, Key Animation), Toshihiro Kawamoto (Character Design).

- Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood: Toshihiro Kawamoto (Opening Key Animation)

- Heroman written by Stan Lee: Masahiko Minami (Producer), Toshihiro Kawamoto (Chief Animator, Animation Director, Opening Animation Director).

First animation I have seen from the series is the original Fullmetal Alchemist series, but the Brotherhood version is my favourite version. In my opinion the art style is better, the story is better and makes more sense.
