#ogura kobo

Today, I watched the latest episode of 91 Days as well as few episodes of Nijuu Mensou no Musume (2008). Both have the same art director Hiromasa Ogura who is best known for his work with numerous Mamoru Oshii productions.

While I can’t prove that I am right, I believe Ogura himself drew the first, third and the last picture or atleast produced an imageboard for them.

Ogura was a student of the legendary Shichiro Kobayashi and is now running the Ogura Kobo which still produces some high quality hand drawn backgrounds but have steadily started to move to digital age. Hiromasa Ogura is one of the few legendary Art Directors that are rather well known amongst anime community.
