A question, the scene was originally a Layout by Josh Aguilar but in Castlevania most animators do not genga and a studio is commissioned to do the 2nd KA, how should the studio be credited with his name or with an Unknown ?

I believe a majority of castlevania animators do their own genga, or key animation. But in the case where 2nd KA is involved, we ususally don't credit it.

Okay, but you're wrong in Castlevania there is not much genga in Castlevania there is very detailed layout but not much genga.

The director did an interview with one of the cleaning studios and said that hardly anyone did genga.

I know this is 2 years after the fact, but this is in fact cleanup animation from Studio Nine Lives, so this is effectively douga. The other child post under the parent would be considered Josh's key animation, even if it received some corrections after the fact. If it was rough animation (layout equivalent) it would have been noticeably a lot rougher
