hear hear! I echo the appreciation for anything hand drawn and with Sels. One of my favorite anime, Legends of the Galactic Heroes - is beautifully rendered. (same with Rose of Versailles and many others of that era, Vampire Hunter D too!). I've been trying to find a production cell from them for ages, either that or Serial Experiments Lain.

Super cool that you could get a job in an industry you love and can appreciate.

Also, is it intentionally spelled aniime, or was that a typo in the forums name? Just curious

Typo :) I'll fix

Funny coincidence -- my wife has just gotten me to start following Legend of the Galactic Heroes. I'm reading the light novels (not much time for speed-running 45 hours of anime), and I also picked up the Vampire Hunter D novels.

She's said that there are a few active Discord communities for Legend of the Galactic Heroes. Are you aware of anything on the Fediverse?

Vampire Hunter D is beautiful! I need to get around to reading the books someday.
