<![CDATA[<p>I just finished watching an anthology of Batman features in Batman: Gotham Knight.  This anthology, reminiscent of Animatrix, is packed full of beautiful animations.  Below I have accumulated a list of the animation production companies that created each segment in Batman: The Gotham Knight for those that are curious.  If you love animation as much as I do you should give it a read and it could give you some ideas of what to watch next.</p>
<p>"Have I Got a Story For You" - This is the first short feature and it was produced by Studio 4*C(Studio 4 Degrees Celsius).  They were the ones responsible for Tekkon Kin Kreet, another excellent film.</p>
<p>"Crossfire" - The second feature was produced by the company Production I.G.  They produced the Ghost in the Shell animations.</p>
<p>"Field Test" - The third short film was produced by Bee Train, the animators of Noir, Dot.hack, and Tsubasa Chronicles.  I haven't personally check out any of these anime but I might now.</p>
<p>"In Darkness Dwells" - The fourth was done by the company that produced Cardcaptor Sakura, Deathnote, and that short Final Fantasy VII spinoff, Last Order.  They are called Madhouse.</p>
<p>"Working Through the Pain" - This is the fifth and I couldn't tell who did this one just by watching.  It was like a mix of Peter Chung(Aeon Flux) and _________(Vampire Hunter D).  I was way off in any case.  I discovered that Studio 4*C was also responsible for this one.</p>
<p>"Deadshot" - The finale of Batman: Gotham Knight and well worth it.  This one was done by Madhouse as well but someone special worked on it also.  Yoshiaki Kawajiri himself, the writer/director of Wicked City, Ninja Scroll, Vampire Hunter D: Bloodlust and more.  This was my favorite short.  I thought that the animation was  gorgeous and really lived up to his name.</p>
<p>All that said the order of the movies is interesting also.  The first feature is very disproportional and dreamy.  As the animations go on the solidity of the animations becomes greater until the last animation which similar Vampire Hunter D: Bloodlust is full of thick lines and solid animation.  This is an anthology and the story from feature to feature aren't connected although the transition from film to film is nice.  The stories are fun and include such villains as Scarecrow, Killer Croc, and Deadshot.  Also the first three shorts include alot of gang related villains.  All in all if you love animation and are looking for a good film packed with great animators you should definitely give  Batman: Gotham Knight a watch.</p><a href="http://www.pheedo.com/click.phdo?x=&u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.cinemaroll.com%2FAnimation%2FBatman-Gotham-Knight-Animators.162455"><img src="http://www.pheedo.com/img.phdo?x=&u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.cinemaroll.com%2FAnimation%2FBatman-Gotham-Knight-Animators.162455" border="0"/></a>]]></description>
