Just like other veteran staff, Aono joined the production of the ''Detective Conan'' [[anime]] in the first year the anime began to broadcast - as animation director for the fifth episode [[The Shinkansen's Bomb Case]]. Thereafter, he kept active within the production team and constantly did key animation and animation direction in several episodes. In the beginning, his work was not that noticeable, yet after some time, he started to craft his personal style (especially when the new millennium began). During the first half of 2001, Aono's drawing style increased drastically and reached its splendor - examples include the Haibara with the red hoodie in the 2nd part of [[The Mysterious Passenger]]. Most of the frames corrected/drawn by him were memorable since they were mostly close to the original manga style, and in great proportion. Another thing worth mentioning, is that in the case of [[Hooligan's Labyrinth]], Aono was responsible for the animation correction for both two parts, this is extremely rare in the ''Detective Conan'' anime.

Nonetheless, after several years, the style of the manga has changed, and the anime character design has changed as well. Aono's peculiar style for drawing ''Detective Conan'' characters was far off the anime character design (despite undergoing the change from celluloid conventional production to digital production; the alteration in colour design and character design in [[Masato Sato]] era). Aono eventually terminated the long-term cooperation with the ''Detective Conan'' production team after 2005, after finishing the animation direction for the 1st part of [[Conan and Heiji's Deduction Magic]]. After that, he only served as the chief animation director for OVA7 [[A Challenge from Agasa! Agasa vs. Conan and the Detective Boys]].

Early on, his artstyle have a softer, cutesy looks to it, but in a few years, his artstyles has become sharper and very recognizable - examples include the Haibara with the red hoodie in [[The Mysterious Passenger|'''Episode 231''': The Mysterious Passenger (Part 2)]]. Most of the frames corrected/drawn by him were memorable since they were very close to the manga, and in great proportion. Another thing worth mentioning is that Aono was sometimes responsible as the sole animation director in a two-parts episodes, ([[Hooligan's Labyrinth|'''Episodes 279~280''': Hooligan's Labyrinth]] for example.) which is a rare case in the anime production.

It was not until 2015 that he merely returned to the ''Detective Conan'' anime and did key animation for episode 783 ([[The Scarlet Return|The Scarlet Truth]]). And surprisingly, in 2018, Atsushi Aono, was back in the anime and served as animation director after entirely 14 years. The reason behind it was to "return a favour" (there was an episode in the sixth season of anime ''[[wikipedia:Natsume's Book of Friends|Natsume's Book of Friends]]'' (夏目友人帳) that was outsourced to V1 Studio). As a result, [[wikipedia:Shuka (studio)|Studio Shuka]] requested Aono to temporarily take over the job for the 2nd part of [[The New Teacher's Skeleton Case]]. During that episode, Aono worked with [[Seiji Muta]] and [[Masatomo Sudo]], and the huge difference between them and Aono can be seen, which also implied that Aono's style might not be as befitting as the current anime character design anymore.
+
Aono eventually stopped doing works for the anime in 2005. After finishing the animation direction for [[Conan and Heiji's Deduction Magic|'''Episode 406''': Conan and Heiji's Deduction Magic (The Trick)]]. and serving as the chief animation director for [[A Challenge from Agasa! Agasa vs. Conan and the Detective Boys|'''OVA 7''': A Challenge from Agasa! Agasa vs. Conan and the Detective Boys]].

In 2015, Aono returned to did key animation for [[The Scarlet Return|'''Episode 783''': The Scarlet Truth]]. And in 2018, he returned as the animation director for [[The New Teacher's Skeleton Case|'''Episode 890''': The New Teacher's Skeleton Case (Part 2)]], the first time he worked as animation director for the anime in 14 years. The reason behind it was to "return a favour"<ref group="Note">'''Note:''' There was an episode in the sixth season of anime ''[[wikipedia:Natsume's Book of Friends|Natsume's Book of Friends]]'' (夏目友人帳) that features many animators from TMS/V1Studio, suggesting it was outsouced to them. As a result, [[Shuka|Studio Shuka]], the studio which Aono had close relationship with, requested Aono to works as the animation director for episode 890 from the ''Detective Conan'' anime.</ref>, and it became apparent there were a big differences between his works and the works of animation supervisor, [[Seiji Muta]].

Atsushi Aono (青野 厚司 Aono Atsushi?), born July 12, 1964, is a Japanese animation director and freelance animator from Hokkaido. He is exceedingly well-known for his participation in Detective Conan, as well as his delicate drawings for Ai Haibara; even the author Gosho Aoyama took the name "Atsushi" as the name for Haibara's father in the manga as a sort of tribute.

Biography

Atsushi Aono is a freelance animator. His hobbies are related to cameras, model trains, tokusatsus etc. He made his debut as an in-between animator in 1985, in the anime Mobile Suit Zeta Gundam (機動戦士Ζガンダム); and first served as animation director in 1989 within the anime Madö King Granzört (魔動王グランゾート). Since then, he has been involved in several animation works until present.

Nowadays, he mainly works in seasonal anime series, mostly with animation produced by Bones (株式会社ボンズ) and Brain's Base (ブレインズ・ベース).

Just like other veteran staffs, Aono joined the production of the Detective Conan anime since the beginning - as the animation director for Episode 5: The Shinkansen's Bomb Case. Since then, he kept active within the production team and did key animation and animation direction in several episodes.

Early on, his artstyle have a softer, cutesy looks to it, but in a few years, his artstyles has become sharper and very recognizable - examples include the Haibara with the red hoodie in Episode 231: The Mysterious Passenger (Part 2). Most of the frames corrected/drawn by him were memorable since they were very close to the manga, and in great proportion. Another thing worth mentioning is that Aono was sometimes responsible as the sole animation director in a two-parts episodes, (Episodes 279~280: Hooligan's Labyrinth for example.) which is a rare case in the anime production.

Aono eventually stopped doing works for the anime in 2005. After finishing the animation direction for Episode 406: Conan and Heiji's Deduction Magic (The Trick). and serving as the chief animation director for OVA 7: A Challenge from Agasa! Agasa vs. Conan and the Detective Boys.

In 2015, Aono returned to did key animation for Episode 783: The Scarlet Truth. And in 2018, he returned as the animation director for Episode 890: The New Teacher's Skeleton Case (Part 2), the first time he worked as animation director for the anime in 14 years. The reason behind it was to "return a favour"[Note 1], and it became apparent there were a big differences between his works and the works of animation supervisor, Seiji Muta.

As a result, Studio Shuka, the studio which Aono had close relationship with, requested Aono to works as the animation director for episode 890 from the Detective Conan anime.
