About Japanimation Station's Kyoto Vacation
Japanimation Station is an anime podcast where hosts Jonathan Lack and Sean Chapman, creators of Weekly Suit Gundam, create deep dive conversations not just on individual shows, but on complete bodies of work, approaching these shows not just as fans, but with a fresh pair of critical eyes. We get deep into the stories, characters, and aesthetics, but also place the series and their creators into the proper contexts of history, backstory, and behind the scenes details that make these works so special. And, hopefully, we’ll have some fun along the way. Welcome to Japanimation Station.

So I think in Double Zeta, the scope of what was permissible became broader, including flashy presentation. The precision of the setting increased when we went from Zeta to Double Zeta. During Zeta, there were still some parts that were drawn impressionistically, but in Double Zeta, we drew them in considerable detail based exactly on the setting. Even the smallest parts were now firmly defined in the setting, and in that sense, there was a transition period between Zeta and Double Zeta. […]
