Studio Madhouse's Most Prominent Animator and Character Designer(Nana and Chihayafuru), Kunihiko Hamada, leaves the studio after 35 years. And going by the way he put it, not in the best of ways (x.com)

Translated tweet

"I've turned another year older.

Madhouse is where I retired at the end of March. No attempts to retain me, just ended abruptly. 35 years with Madhouse. Over 20 years as an employee, severance pay: 0 yen.

Already employed at a different company. Starting fresh with a new mindset, studying diligently like a newbie while poring over Shibayama-san's works collection. I won't reply to DMs requesting work. My apologies."

He seems pretty resigned about that 0 yen severance: "that's animation companies" in a following tweet. I wonder if that is Mad House specific or the norm for the industry.

Not a good look, that's for sure. I'm sure we'll never know what happened, but hopefully it wasn't too awful.
