TV TOKYO | Yu-Gi-Oh! ARC-V - Some Notable Staff Members

• Character Design: Akemi Yokota (ZEXAL)

Funny, the first time I laid eyes on the first promotional art I thought, “seems to be Yokota’s style,” and sure enough, it was. Glad to see she’s on board for ARC-V; her ZEXAL episodes were honestly just lovely, sometimes making me mistake her for Kenichi Hara in some select shots. She seriously deserves more credit, I think.

• Chief Animation Director: Kenichi Hara (All Previous Series)

Speaking of, Kenichi Hara is [expectedly] on the staff. Now, what is interesting here is neither 5D’s or ZEXAL had a “chief” animation director as a distinguishable position. ARC-V is a weekly series, so animation directors will certainly vary, but I wonder how having Hara here will affect overall quality. I still do expect his own episodes, though.

• Music: Kotaro Nakagawa (Code Geass, Gosick)
  

My interest is certainly piqued for ARC-V’s soundtrack. Both Code Geass and Gosick (amongst others) had some fabulous pieces of work, with emphasis on symphonic flare. This is a Yu-Gi-Oh! series though, and not one, whether it be the original or the first three spin-offs, has been less-than-stellar in outright pleasuring the ears.
