== Discovered about *UN-GO*'s creative staff Quoted from [[randomc's episode 6 writeup http://randomc.net/2011/11/17/un-go-06/]]: > [Mizushima and Aikawa] have already proved themselves adept at > translating unusual source material to anime by the brilliant job > they did with *Oh! Edo Rocket*, which was adapted from a stage play by > Nakashima Kazuki (who also wrote *Gurren Lagann*) [...] I generally barely notice exactly who the creative staff behind anime works are, but this is a set of connections that genuinely startles and impresses me. (One interesting note is that [[according to ANN http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/encyclopedia/people.php?id=3891]] Mizushima also directed *Hanamaru Kindergarten*, which had a startlingly interesting set of ending animations that are well worth tracking down on their own; each one did its own little mini-story in various genres, complete in a minute and thirty seconds or so. I didn't watch HK itself, but I quite enjoyed the ending segments. I believe you can find them on Youtube.) For future reference, ANN entries for [[Mizushima http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/encyclopedia/people.php?id=3891]], [[Aikawa http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/encyclopedia/people.php?id=2633]], and [[Nakashima http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/encyclopedia/people.php?id=57806]]. (In another interesting thing, Nakashima not only wrote the original stage play of *Oh! Edo Rocket*, but he also wrote the script for one episode. I wonder how odd it felt to be scripting his own work as filtered through someone else, since Aikawa was 'series composition' for OER.)
