Xebec is owned by Production I.G. Broken Blade was the same way, credited to both Xebec and Production I.G. They are the same company AFAIK, and I treat them as such.
~flower declaration of your heart~ Rinne no Lagrange 2:
This show has an interesting visual motif involving old-style wooden chairs. It's seen all over the ED animation, but there's a brief shot during the episode as well featuring the chairs.
There's a fair bit of fanservice as well in this episode, and sometimes it's used rather skillfully. Lan's reflection is talking to Madoka in the mirror while the camera is zoomed in on something else.
I like the OP and ED of this show a lot, anyways. MARU!

It's quite the price to pay!
No, they're not the same company, and Production I.G. does not own Xebec. IG Port is the holding company that owns Production IG and Xebec. They're totally different animation studios, and companies.
Production IG is not involved in the animation production or direction of the show. The concept is created by Production IG, and they are involved in some creative aspects (like the writing and general planning of the franchise), but the anime is mostly Xebec's work.
Considering the overall director is the guy behind Nadesico and Stellvia, and the series director is the guy who directed Heroic Age and Fafner Heaven and Earth, calling this a Production IG show is totally wrong.

Why wouldn't I? School Days is classy animu, like Hamlet or Oedipus Rex.

Clearly someone has been building up your expectations for some bizarre reason.

Watching too much animu makes you impervious to fanservice, I am afraid.
Fabulous.
Hell yes.

The show actually makes effective use of CGI when appropriate. Actually, both Broken Blade and this show do a good job of blending the CGI and hand-drawn elements.
Sometimes I think that ducky's kinda scary with all the stuff he knows about stuff. This usually lasts for a few minutes, then I decide it's okay and move on to the next anime I'm watching.

The airships are CGI while the robots are 2D. It doesn't make sense.
That's one thing i've definitely been surprised about too, and in a really good way.
break blade was cool i guess
kind of disappointing that shows cant do this more often
i mean macross zero did it alright way back in 2002
10 years ago...
You know it's okay to admit you're wrong when called out. No need to deflect the subject.
Why did Lan
gain pants when she was trying to go pilot her robot?
Regulus Tera

Because her pantless leotard is her casual clothes, obviously.
Truly a day to remember. ;_;

Because someone has to respectably dressed.
I think that's her standard uniform, so I imagine when she actually pilots it changes to that skimpier one. These uniforms are pretty strange huh?
fucking aliens, man.
It's called better tactile feedback.

This is the Internet! Admitting you're wrong about anything on the Internet is the same as shooting yourself in the foot!
Yeah yeah, okay. Thank you for correcting me about Xebec and Production I.G. /pout
I saw that too, they definitely needed to ensure Madoka had the Zettai Ryouiki when she was piloting the
Edit: To follow the aliens theme:

The scientists who design the suits are usually lonely perverts.
Regulus Tera
Romanes Eunt Domus
Symphogear takes it one step further by making the scientist who designs the suits a lonely lesbian pervert!
Isn't true of basically all female fashion throughout history though? Designed by pervy men!
A technological advancement by creative thinkers of our times.
Parts of the uniform disappear to increase...combat ability...yeah thats it.
Hype!
its a devolution from plug suits imo
Regulus Tera
Romanes Eunt Domus
Chainmail bikini has its uses, yeah.
I wonder if they hired the same guy who did Asukas new plugsuit in Rebuild 2.0
There's a fair bit of fanservice as well in this episode, and sometimes it's used rather skillfully. Lan's reflection is talking to Madoka in the mirror while the camera is zoomed in on something else.

I didn't notice the reflection. But that is pretty amazing that they so naturally did a crotch and arse of the same female in one scene like that. Nise needs to step it up.

The way you word that it seems to imply that Asuka's original plugsuit wasn't classless too.

They are the sweater vests of armor.
I like how Auska makes a comment about the designer being a pervert. They know what they are doing.
Dude must get a lot of work.
Hell yes.
I love it. So cute.
good point!
or Rei's or any of them for that matter... man it's been a while since i've watched the original series.
I just remember a lot of people making a big fuss over her new suit in 2.0
It's like "alright we're already used to the original suits now WOAH HEY WHAT THE HELL IS THIS"

The clothes don't disappear until they're actually inside the robot. (From what I can tell).

Hey man there were like, plot related reasons why that was the case. That's what makes it okay, or something.
My man regulus knows whats up, bodacious space pirates is terrible. Should have called it atrocious space pirates.
