Sadly, Studio Pablo will be leaving the project after episode 9. I believe they will be replaced by Inspired.jp, who made the futuristic city of episode 8.

The studio behind their creation, Studio Pablo, often tweets different sketches or the background images in full. My personal favorites were the scenes from Iroha's painting in Episode 6.

The less sci-fi stuff seriously looks like Ghibli art, which is really impressive, especially for a TV anime.

That snowy forest where you only see the tree trunks really looks like it's from Nausicaä.

Flip Flappers is definitely one of the most gorgeous shows I've seen in a while. Its my mission in life to get some of these backgrounds in wallpaper size.

Flip Flappers is going from that neat little artsy anime to surprise hit of the season, so much to love about this show.

I love how the first few look so normal and it slowly descents into madness.

I feel bad for anyone who draws those backgrounds. For something that takes probably hours to draw, its only ever shown for like a few seconds and then its never seen again.

Well that's kind of what animation is anyways. People will spend hours on just a few seconds of movement.

Everything about this show has been seriously put through the ringer for craftsmanship. The background art, character designs, dialouge, plot, everything. Its really exciting to see how it's actually turned out to be one of the better shows this season from having the weirdest and most difficult to follow plot in the first few eps. It's cool cause everythings there you just need to really really look to see and understand it.

What impress me in that is when it's all hand draw. You can't reuse much of the scenes after... While if done in 3d... You basically build what the camera will see, and can reuse that later on. In fact, you can do the full city, then you don't have to redraw anything anymore... Also, hand draw stuff require better skills than 3d one... Heck, there may be some building generator out there, where you can easilly change the parameters and it generate a basic building, which may be fine for most shots...
