Naoyuki Onda


Onda! My new idol! All his animation character design rocks!! His styles simply depart from traditional japanese manga/anime where you see sharp turning lines and rather pointed chins. He's greatly influenced by western drawing style(rather obvious), where the characters look more fleshy and the concept of 3D more punctuated.

Get to know him after watching Ai no kusabi, one of his most well known works. Although a BL anime back in 1992, the production is of rare quality and the character design looks bizarrely out of the general context of the 90s. Too good to be true is what I felt.
