Tatsuyaki Nagai Shows His Chops – Directing, Art, and Animation in Kaitou Tenshi Twin Angel

Tatsuyaki Nagai is quickly solidifying himself as one of my favorite new directors. His work on Toradora was superb, but with it having been my first experience with his work, I wasn’t sure how much I could attest to him when I watched it. He is currently directing the excellent To Aru Kagaku no Railgun, which shares a lot of visual commonality with Toradora, leading me to believe that he has a lot to do with the visual style. Kaitou Tenshi Twin Angel confirms my suspicions as his style is carried through once again.

Yoku Wakaru Gendai Mahou 1-5 – Well, it’s uh…. Definitely….. Something. Yeah. (OR: Let All The World Be Turned to Washbuckets)

Yoku Wakaru Gendai Mahou is the kind of show I would have ordinarily dropped before I probably would have even finished the first episode, and while I can’t say I regret watching the first 5 episodes, I also can’t exactly give you an inspirational reason to do the same. YokuWaka does a couple of things to try and set itself apart, but it’s inherent average-ness just makes those minute uniquenesses….. confounding.
