I only listed "Call of the Primitives" because that's the only one from season 3 I know for certain that TMS did. However, both "The Killing Jar" and "The Dweller in the Depths" have animation models that look a lot like TMS' and don't gel with Toei's work. Anybody know for sure if TMS did those two episodes as well? --DrSpengler 20:08, 8 February 2007 (UTC)

How do you know for certain? Is there some kind of official listing? Shouldn't they be listed in the credits? I mean, I'm a huge fan of TMS's stuff... and this... doesn't look like TMS to my eye. Everyone is waaaaay too off-model. There's not a lot of actual ANIMATION, and TMS is all about the motion. (People continually confusing "animation" with "art style" is infuriating (see: Beast Machines)) -- M Sipher

When I wrote that essay a while back about the Animation studios, I had initially thought Toei did all the non-Akom season 3 episodes. I since took the essay down because of inaccuracies. I had a long discussion over at the Allspark (which is now lost after the board clean-up) and apparently it seems the consensus among fans that TMS did "Primitives". Personally, I have no proper source for it (aside from this and this) other than upstanding members of the fandom like McFeely and Nevermore as well as tons of others telling me it wasn't Toei. Looking at "Primitives", the animation most certainly isn't Toei. Even when Toei was at their best (the Movie, Zone), their work didn't look the same as "Primitives".
