Ok, name five tv shows with constant three-tone shading from the eighties and nineties. Constant, not high-detail closeups and stills. Go on, I'll wait.

No high budget OVAs or movies allowed.

I'm not sure it's so much the total value of the amazon money as it was the guaranteed nature of it meaning that spending more on the show was less of a risk.

But it looks amazing.

The same with stylised animation vs rotoscoped traced animation. Rotoscoped looks completely real because it's traced from real movements, but stylised animation looks way better because there are no constraints.

You are retard and deserve to be insulted. Kabaneri looks like shit and shading is very sloppy.

If you want proper shading, could have brought God Eater as example - as shit the show was, Ufotable actually did their homework unlike WIT, that seems to hire random koreans and told them to slap random shades on characters regardless of style or lightning.

The only reason not to shade your shows is if you're cheap and don't care about quality.

The shading is inconsistent and doesn't fit with the digital laden environment. It's not like G-Reco and Lupin Part IV which actually feels old school

>>140617485
the characters and weapons were done in 2d

also that (shading technique) in the video is only used in real time, in 3D anime they mostly use a software called Pencil+

>>140619004
Well, there you go.

God Eater looks like it could conceivably be 3D if you look at it on a frame by frame basis, but it doesn't move like 3D.

>>140619021
No? I just rewatched it last summer, it still holds up. Anyone who likes 2D, with it's plethora of unrealistic and simplified shapes, shouldn't have a problem with "aging" of CG.

I like both shading and superflat depending on if it's done well, suck it fags.

>>140619542
That's because the mechas had organic style to them, with the teeth and eyes, so changing and bending fit their designs. Also, gainax almost always nails mecha movement perfectly. But for anime like gundam, and pretty much any mecha show where the mechs are meant to look very industrialized and mechanic, having 2D, which changes with every frame, looks bad. Still, almost any 2D animation has QUALITY moments where characters morph and change, which is something i really hate looking at. That said, I'm not exactly a 2D purist, so i don't mind mixing it up

OVAs are basically the equivalent of modern latenight anime though, aka 90% of the shit /a/ watches.

CG or lazy paintbucket-tier backgrounds are the worst thing about modern shows. Actual shading doesn't matter much as long as the character designs are well done and the style meshes well.

It's also that anime is just a means to and end nowadays. Back when, they were the main product. Now it's glorified advertising revenue for another product, whether it is a game, light novel, visual novel, manga, etc. When the anime is the main product, it will strive to be better. When it's a sideshow, it is treated as such.

>>140623535
The very first anime, Astro Boy, was adapted from a manga and made back its production costs through character licensing and product placement.

"Advertising" is really just another meme because people think it almost literally means an advertisement, when it doesn't. It just means the publisher's intent is to promote their work, but it doesn't tell us anything about the quality of the work and what the actual producers of the anime were thinking. The publisher does not create the anime, they hire professionals to do it.

Not the anons you're talking to, but to me, it looks like they're tracing over it, not just applying a flat filter. Or maybe a filter with edits. The handles are CGI, though.

Still, from what I remember of Eupho, which isn't a lot. The scenery and outdoors were still drawn.

In my experience, filtering a photograph is very noticeable and doesn't look the same as painting over one. It can't be made to look natural. At least not with today's software.

Some backgrounds in Hibike were too obviously sourced from photos though, the quality was uneven and the characters sometimes stuck out too much from the backgrounds.

>>140624949
Yeah, probably. I don't really mind too much unless it's TOO obvious, personally. As long as the animation quality of the characters is decent, and they have a reasonable amount of detail. Not that monotone shit that you see in Mamoru Hosoda's movies and a few other things I can't think of at the moment, or heavily stylised shading for the sake of it (personal preference). Somewhere in between, with decent animation, and I'm pretty happy.

People can bitch all they want about anime not being to their taste, but personally, I think things are pretty fucking good. Admittedly, a few too many titles are pumped out, but I generally enjoy looking at it now as I did when I started watching in the early 90s.

>>140625100
Even then, it's not like shading is prevalent in Kabaneri anyway. I may need to rewatch the two episodes, but it looked to me like the times in the show where there's more than two tones of shading was whenever there was literally nothing else happening, and only for close-up face shots. Outside of that, it was the same as most other modern anime.

>>140624875
I still don't get why people think this is a problem, both shots look good, and it would be a waste of time and money when they can just trace over/use a photoshop filter/use photos as references.
And if the show is good, it might be a bit of a boost for tourism in that area.

>>140624230

While I am extremely enjoying Kanaberi's style of shading I think that it's not too fair to shit all over less tones,because sometimes they turn out looking good like in some works when done well such as some Ghibli movies,however I'll agree that I would be lying if I didn't say I'm excited for a new show with shading like this since the last one I can remember was G no Reconguista.

>retards spouting about this show having amazing shading when it's normal in most scenes except for when they randomly make a scene high quality for no reason

>Muh incredible standards on shading thread

>And if the show is good, it might be a bit of a boost for tourism in that area.
Most KyoAni shows do.

>expecting typical anime fans to have a fucking clue
It's like when you see people talk about animation and then post a detailed still or a scene with floating, disembodied limbs.

Visual wise, it's what God Awful, oops, sorry, God Eater trying to be but fail.

There was a parody of this pic that was always posted in these threads and I can't remember what it was about. Anyone?

Give it a few years to decade and this guy might actually become a very good animator by truly professional standards.
He has still some areas to improve here and there, but he also has learned a shit ton thanks to his hard work.

It's to create even more contrast between the lit side and the illuminated eye and to make it look even more badass and menacing.

>that feel when you have not watched any of the anime in the picture

>>140627059
I find that hard to believe.

>>140626735
Calm down. It's common practise to paint over or reference photos.

>>140627103

I deliberately avoid anything that looks like edgy shit or with new shitty anime designs. Everything that looks similar to Psycho Pass or steins gate pretty much.

>>140627394
Well, your loss, you're missing out on some great shows for what seems like a stupid reason to me.

>>140617957
They have twice the budget.

>>140627527

Anime that looks like what I mentioned is 100% guaranteed to be some pretentious bullshit that I won't enjoy.

>>140617957
Because they're retards?
