>Euphonium reminds me too much of concert band.
Japan needs an anime about marching bands or drum corps. Some determined student decides to revive their school's marching band, and works to recruit other students to the cause. Their ultimate goal is to get straight Superiors at regionals, and then, at Koshien. Er, rather, the marching band equivalent of nationals. Loads of characters, lots of passion, potential for both drama and comedy, etc. It could be great.

I mean, if we can get shows about American football, why not some about American-style bands?

>>124275585
Because marching band is actually pretty boring.

A notable animator isn't just "some faggot".

>>124273255
That lewd background.

KyoAni's shows has been getting less animated each time a new one comes out. Amagi was pitifully animated compared to their earlier shows.

>>124275853
>Because marching band is actually pretty boring.
You could say the same for a lot of things that have made good manga/anime.
>Go is boring
>Farming is boring
>Wine-tasting is boring
It's all in the execution. I think there's a lot of potential for fun characters and stories in the concept. And anything that's too boring could get glossed over easily.

Not that any of that matters, I guess, since marching doesn't appear to be a thing in Japan.

>>124274196
Who cares, fuck the nips and BDS aren't the main source of income. Eupho is my anime of the season so that's all that matters.

how do you know other studios don't use less money that kyoani does?

>>124273326
I would consider Hyouka to be made recently, and that's an excellent show, Kyoani's magnum opus.

>>124276386
That tweet aside, Kyoani uses less animators per episode than the vast majority of shows. They use less than ten animators per episode on average while the typical show will easily have double the amount and that's not even including second key animation work.

Good KyoAni shows Nichijou and before: 8

Good KyoAni shows post-Nichijou: 1

>>124276296
The problem is that 99% of marching band doesn't involve any human interaction. You get your music and your little card that says where you're supposed to be on the field at each point, and you play the music and follow the card. You do this over and over until everyone can get it right. You might have little meetings before or after practice, but that's it. Cutting out all the boring parts would be literally cutting out the whole thing. With no chance for character interaction, you can't make it interesting.

>students trying to figure out if they should give up marching band (and let down their team) to to focus on pursuing their dream as a concert musician
Also, I don't know how much you experienced if you were in band, but there was more than enough human interaction going on during rehearsals. Perfect time for characters to talk. Not to mention the mishaps that could come from messing up on the field during actual shows. You just have to to break down the activity to its parts and play up the most interesting bits. Again, there's a lot of shows that are based around activities that seem boring at first, but the execution of the story makes it interesting enough.

No. It comes to kyoanus consistently have to dig for new excuses of the studio's latest failure.

It's hard to take armchair financial analysts seriously when even professional financial analysts are usually bullshitters.

>>124273255
Well yeah reusing characters probably saves a lot of money.

>>124278135
Other studios are all in Tokyo, which has almost double the cost of living of Kyoto. It means that not only are their budgets lower, so they have to sell less to make a profit, but their employees can live much better lives. Low level animators that work in Tokyo often have to live more than 2 hours away from work, because they make so little, which means a 10 hour work day with a 2 hour train commute there and back. It's really crushingly terrible. But most of the industry is willing to be completly explotative just so they can have an office in a tredier place. Watching KyoAni is being a more ethical consumer, sort of like drinking fair trade coffee.

>>124278183

They do whatever the fuck they want apparently. KyoAni does not produce these shows and expect them to sell extremely well. There is no excuse here. I guess they're always getting the money from the occasional adaptation.

The "prime office location" thing happens a lot in the US, too. There are a ridiculous number of companies headquartered in Manhattan that could save a shit-ton if they'd just move to other parts of the city, or even Jersey. It would help their employees, too, since as the previous anon mentioned, most of them have to commute because they can't afford to live near their workplace.

The last place I worked at just laid off about a dozen people if they could just move their office out of the Flatiron District, they probably wouldn't have needed to let so many people go. But people love keeping up appearances.

Then you have places like San Francisco, where people choose to pay insane prices to live in the city and then actually commute to the less populated, less expensive areas where their workplace is located. Fucking Googlers.

>How does he knows the budget of other studios?
People in the industry know how much anime costs to make, you had to know the average costings or you would get ripped off.

IMO, KyoAni's greatest strength is their organisation. They are famous in their industry not for the art, but for the fact that things get done on time. They have a schedule, and they follow it. This means they know how many days it takes to finish a job, and don't push the impossible like Shaft infamously do.

This is why voice actresses working in KyoAni shows make their recording against the backdrop of the near complete actual anime, while Shaft voice actresses had to record their lines against blank screens. To know accurately how many days it takes to do a task and achieve that to the day is an art. It requires planning, smart management, and realistic prediction of workspeed.

Recently it is revealed that sometimes KyoAni animators did have to do over-time. But they did point out that this isn't the norm, unlike other studios where people sleep at their desks.

>>124279951
Also IIRC the staff get paid hourly instead of per-frame like most studios

>>124279895
Someone should sent that story pasta to Kyoani.

KyoAni should just make own Shirobako about themselves. For objectivity - directed by Yamakan.

>>124273255
Thats not how it works. Kyoani spend less money on each project but spend more on regular worker's monthly wage.

Its different from other other studios who spend more money on each project because they need to pay part-time/freelance/outsource in high amount because they have very little to none regular staff.

So? Its still the same. If their show flopped below 5k or 6k, they'll still eat their shoes. The difference is, KyoAni will still live strong even with 5 consecutive flops because they still have animator school and a shop (I don't know how important the latter is, but the former holds significant value in their asset.

>>124279944
Is Euphonium KyoAni owned?

Holy shit this always get me triggered everymotherfuckingtime

SJWs get really bent out of shape about otaku culture. The oddities and heavy fetishism within it make it an easy target for them to pick apart since it comes off as strange to the general public. Things like ecchi anime and games are also openly sexual, and even though SJWs claim to be about "sex positivity" they seem to go against that dogma when it involves the gratuitous portrayal of "attractive" characters. SJWs also seem to hate this sort of stuff on the basis that a group they see as "privileged" enjoys it. Personally I feel half of SJWism is about trying to spite people they don't like under the cover of being "progressive."

Another element of this comes from the cancer of western anime fandom. Western anime fans typically expect anime to be nothing more than action shows and battle shonen. Romcoms, slice of life, and just about anything with cute or sexy girls gets them seriously pissed off, and they easily relate to SJW rants about otaku culture, anime and Japanese games. Western fans of anime and Japanese games have this odd entitlement towards the mediums, and often act like otaku culture is screwing them out of the anime/games they want. What they fail to realize is this stuff was always aimed at the otaku audience to begin with, (yes, even "back in the day.") minus a very small handful of anime, manga, or games that test the waters of pandering to western or more mainstream audiences.

Websites like Kotaku, Anime News Network, and Japanator pump out clickbait that promotes and normalizes this attitude within fans of Japanese games and anime, and they have done so for years. This turned the majority of western fans into self-hating trainwrecks, censorship apologists, and bitter, angry fans that hardly enjoy their hobby anymore.

>>124280410
Yes. Which means there is nothing to worry about in terms of sales.

>>124280410
The novel does not belong to them, but to some small local publisher. KyoAni however personally picked it up and invested into adaptation and production, since wanted to do that type of show and setting is litterally town where they are located - so while novel itself does not belong to them, pretty much everything anime related is.

Its more "KyoAni" show, than say "Hyouka" or "Nichijou" which were paid adaptations.

>>124279951
Efficiency is higher with normal work hours and sleep schedules, who would have guessed. Elevens just have a weird fixation with spending lots of time at work over actual productivity. It's shameful for a salaryman to go home at 5 even if he did a ton of work, you have to stay late at the office, regardless of how well you do your actual job.

>>124280071
they work normal hours and generally don't work overtime although there are some animator stories about crunch time on big projects like the Haruhi stuff. Something like Takamoto and one other animator spending all night getting a Haruhi scene right but not because it was being rushed but because they were getting too into it.

Well yeah, it had to be that way. The Haruhi money well only lasts for so long as KyoAni has made so many bad business decisions that the only way they could possibly stay afloat is if all their shows maintained low budgets despite the quality of the animation.

Sounds great on paper, they must be doing some magic Houdini shit right? But the only way they could be pulling this off is if the animators that works there are working way more for less. And if you follow the anime industry at all you know animators are paid pennies and are treated like shit so that just tells me KyoAni is a fucking sweatshop.

I don't envy those poor Japanese sons of bitches.

>>124281542
Aren't they like the only major studio based in the east of Japan? In that case, they'd simply be overflowing with talented applicants, by virtue of being the only real opportunity to prospective animators.

>>124281640

>>124281640
They aren't based in Tokyo. Tokyo property prices are Australia-tier. The amount of money it must take to finance a moderately sized office building there is extraordinary.

>>124281640
They are efficient. If you look at the animation credits of their shows they use less staff than average.

If their budgets are so low why are their blu-rays so expensive?

In-betweens are done by students at Kyoani's animation school.
In other words, kyoani doesn't pay to have in-between frames drawn; kyoani gets paid when in-betweens are drawn.

I'm assuming there is a lot of waste at other studios too that lead to unnecessarily higher budgets.

Like if you are falling behind schedule and have to hire more guys on short notice will cost more.

If you have to bring a guy back to redo animations for particular scenes for the BD release because the TV version was terrible will cost more.

Wastes like that is how a crapfest like The Room cost 6 million dollars

They are famous, but only to those in the industry. In a way it isn't by choice, because if given the chance I am sure they would love to have a famous director at the helm, writing original stories that sell well. That would have put them on the map. As it is, KyoAni is famous, but without any singular employee actually taking up being the "face" of the company. This is, as I say, because they couldn't find a decent full time writer.

>>124282494
There's an Amaburi event later in June/July. Hope they announce s2.

Actually that's also because they just like Real Madrid which always have local gov support.

>>124282582
>any singular employee actually taking up being the "face" of the company.

I'm not sure they want that. KyoAni in general feels very much like a big family or something. What's that about always wanting to animate something that everyone is interested in. Feels like they care a lot about the individual relationships and people that work there.

>>124282527
Duh KyoAni does not have their own distributor network yet, someone has to sell it

>>124282679
I wanted to add that because I heard that as well but never found a source. But their shows do promote the region in which they take place in so I guess that brings money.

>>124282679
So Kyoani is Barcelona?

>>124282582
>Yamada -> dyke
>Takemoto -> normalfag

I feel that this is actually a good thing. Although you don't get the publicity that a big-name showrunner would bring in, you also get less involved with the fuss that comes from having a company "face". People still talk about individual directors for KyoAni, but at least it's not like the love/hate brigades that follow certain big-name writers.

Are PA Works and KyoAni the GOAT studios?

It makes you wonder, if their shows right now are considered below average budget.
What if Kyoani went all out on a show?

It would be like looking on the face of god.

KyoAni understands something that Japanese work culture is too retarded to grasp: happier workers = more productive workers.

They actually pay their staff living wages and don't force them to work until they want to die.

An OVA, fumoffu style, would be sufficient to cover the ABC girl's own arcs. And we can make Fumofu jokes while we are at it.

>>124283167

>>124283139

The faggot who said it said he "heard" the story. That must mean it's true, according to desperate kyoanifags.

>>124283191
>an OVA has already been announced
I just went and Googled. We are getting a bonus episode in the DVDs, but not a proper OVA series yet. There is a special even on March the 26th to celebrate the "30th anniversary" of the in-story themepark, I expect any proper OVA series would be announced then.

Note that a full TV series is out of the question, there isn't enough material. At best we have 6 episodes of story available as of now.

If kyoAni budget is low, why Kadokawa doesn't ask kyoAni to make their anime? Considering most KadokawaxkyoAni's anime are a big hit?

>>124283276
Was about to do that myself. Humorous alignment,

>>124283222
KnK didn't even look that good, it just had some bursts of cool animation like Chuunibyou but was standard post-Hyouka Kyoani for the majority of it.

>>124283222

They do. Pretty sure that Kadokawa is chasing KyoAni left and right. You do realize that KyoAni has a say in the matter as well?

>>124283293
>If kyoAni budget is low, why Kadokawa doesn't ask kyoAni to make their anime? Considering most KadokawaxkyoAni's anime are a big hit?
They DO. But KyoAni know how fast they could work and don't take any more jobs than they could handle. It doesn't matter how much money Kadokawa give them, KyoAni isn't going to work any faster. Kadokawa own hundreds of books they want to animate, so they don't have time to have KyoAni as their bottleneck when they need multiple anime made a year.

>>124283321
It was much better-animated than Chuu2. The show had a fair amount of standout cuts. I wouldn't put it on the same level as Nichijou or Hyouka though.

Being an animator isn't the same as knowing business finances. That's like saying working as an intern for several companies means you have accurate insight to how much each company earns before declared taxes.

Why do people take whatever thread they can and assign retarded amounts of authority to it? Is it because you are still a teenager or something? Animators aren't involved in finances. They are paid (often poorly) to animate. That's it. They aren't accountants or managers.

>>124283804

>>124283804
>Being an animator isn't the same as knowing business finances.
Funny enough, being a business exec doesn't mean that you know anything about animation. That's the reason why crunch occurs, and executives have a habit of throwing money at the problem to try to make it go away. It doesn't really work well. It happens in nearly every industry. I don't know if we can take this guy's word for it at face value, but I wouldn't be surprised if it was the truth.

I purchase KyoAni BDs through honto.jp

It is the ethical way to support Japanese animation.

>>124283751
Except kyoani is widely known for having the best working conditions and pay for their workers.

>>124280497
In Japan, presence/attendance is valued more than actual output for most offices. This is the old way. Corporations like Toyota in their manufacturing branches really bucked the trend in this regard, admittedly with western concepts. Combine the retarded work ethic of Japanese workers with a highly efficient workflow and you get the best car manufacturers in the world. Pity this isn't adapted on a wider scale. Mindsets take many generations to change in a lot of cases. Oh well.

Honestly, that could be an accurate statement, depending on how transparent your employers are with their workers. When I interned at a game company, they had several meetings devoted to explaining to their employees what their current profits were, and how they would affect the company's structure.

If you do that enough times at enough companies, you'll probably know a air amount about each company's financial situation. Not enough to beat a business executive at any particular company, but enough to have a decent idea of what you're talking about.

I mean he doesn't even work that hard a schedule seems like. Does some scenes for their movies, then one sometimes two episodes for each show.

From what I've heard, KyoAni are better at planning things out and sticking to plans, so they don't have to do things in a mad rush and have to pay more to get things done quickly. The result is that their animation looks good, and doesn't cost as much as every other studio which suck at sticking with plans.

>>124284108
>Simply irrelevant in this matter.
It's relevant in that animators probably have a better idea of a proper schedule than the business executives. You can see the failure of the business executives to understand a proper schedule in pretty much any big-budget film, movie, or game. Take EA, for instance. They hire a slew of temps near the end of production cycles for crunch, then end their contracts after the release. Then they hire a ton of temps again over the course of the next game's development, and even more during that game's crunch, and then let the go again. Multiple people who work in the industry have remarked that this makes no sense (read Glassdoor reviews, former employee blogs, etc), but they keep doing it. And it keeps costing them more and more money. Animation studios do this too (which is why you see tons of outsourcing and eventual BD redraws when they finally get the damned time to actually work on the art).
>Oh I know you're going to quote your post about how executives throw their money at problems
Why would I quote my own post? All I'm saying is that this is an obvious pattern that's been in many industries for a long time. I'd actually say that whether or not KyoAni throws money at the problem is the irrelevant part; it's obvious that other studios do, and it isn't working at all.

>>124284829
I'm >>124283681 and like I said, I watch Hyouka yearly (and sometimes more than that) but I have a long span of space between each rewatch so that I can properly appreciate the show when I see it again. Watching the same episode over and over again within one series would probably just piss me off. I can't imagine how people felt when it was airing and they saw mostly the same thing week after week. I saw a couple of rage threads, but they were mostly in my periphery since I stopped after the first season.

E8 is what makes a studio like KyoAni stand out. With unconventional approaches like the minimalistic repetition used for E8, the time loop phenomena really sinks into the viewer's mind. No other established studio would dare to go as far as that to prove this point. People remeber this sequence not only because it was so terribly frustrating but rather because of how well the viewers themselves were put into the equation.

Is Madhouse a good studio for working conditions?

>>124285512

>>124285455
That's all well and good, but unconventional isn't always a good thing, and sometimes there are good reasons why most people wouldn't dare do a particular thing. Endless Eight is a good case in point... unconventional, but not positively so. No other studios dared to pull something like that because it pisses audiences off, and not in a way that raises meaningful points that makes them reconsider long-held prejudices and the like.

And also because they did everything the hard way.
They got different directors for each episode, and have every line of dialogue re-recorded for each. You don't have to like the result, but they certainly didn't take the easy way out.

>>124285512
>Animation directors can take a break after completing his or her episode until the next one begins, but the chief animation director is responsible for the entire series or project, so if I take that job, I'm lucky if I get even Sundays off for the entire duration. The work is non-stop, and I'm required to oversee two to three episodes at a time. Honestly, the expectations of a chief animation director are unrealistic, not to mention inhumane. When the going gets tough, a staff meeting is held to decide which episodes or scenes need to be sacrificed in order to stay on schedule. We all find having to make those kinds of decisions upsetting and humiliating, but that's often the only way to meet the deadlines.
