It's been three years since the last attempt (and probably about 6 since the very first version), so I'm back to get this done finally. The core purpose of this chart is not to recommend shows on the basis of their story but on the basis of their visuals and animation. We're aiming to pick what we think are the best of best for certain aspects and to get people interested in appreciating shows for the effort put into their art.

To begin, we're trying to start fresh on this which is why I've mostly taken most of the previous examples off. I've left some which, in the past 6 years, have been rather popular choices. There are some categories I'm still a little iffy on, however. So before we get to the 'how do I into?' part, I think it's important we clarify what our categories are going to be. The ones I'm still feeling a bit off on are: Stylised Animation, Motion: Realism, and Experimental (previously Artsy). I feel like Stylised and Experiment would have a lot of overlap and last time we were reaching a little for Motion: Realism examples.

If you have any thoughts on those categories and changes that can be made, put them forward. Otherwise, here's the "how into".

How this works:
>each category has room for 5 examples
>think up a good example
>you must provide visual evidence and put forward an argument for your example
>other anons can chime in on a person's choice to debate or support it
>if we reach 5 examples, don't despair - with a good enough argument you may be able to override a previous choice
>I will act as fairly as I possibly can and try my best to take everyone's thoughts into account

Some extra things to take into account:
>in the effort of getting a good spread of examples pick only what you think is the best of a best of a director's work so we don't get multiple examples from the same person
>you can use historical significance towards your argument and if you think something truly excelled for its time

Why you have to make the thread when everyone is asleep?
Ping Pong for stylized animation. I think this one is pretty locked in thanks to Yuasa adapting a Taiyō Matsumoto manga.
Of course you could fill the same spot with Tekkon Kinkreet or MindGame but I assume the point is to include rencent stuff on the chart.
>>
>Name under each picture
Are you posting this on reddit?
>>
>>144725383
I lost part of my files so it took me a while to find something useable.

And no, recent stuff isn't the aim. If something has really stood the test of time or was historically significant it'll be considered. Ping Pong is a pretty good choice for stylised animation though. I'll add it.

>>144725443
Never.

If we're only talking about scenery porn then Garden of words is obviously the best one.
>>
>>144725837
Of course.I think his nature scenery is a lot better than his urban, so we'll go with that then.
>>
This is silly.
How do you excel in "experimental"? Is motion action not part of cinematography? Is experimental animation not stylized?
>>
>>144725972
Exactly why I asked for opinions on the categories. Experimental used to be "artsy", but I couldn't really think of any better word.
>>
And most of this falls under cinematography. The color palette I would assume is a large part of the structure of the shot.
The problem is your mixing styles of animation and qualities of animation
>>
>>144726074
Sadly I'm not an expert even after all these years, but in a way it's not meant to be for experts either.

If you have any recommendations you would like to make in regards to categories I'm more than happy to listen.
>>
>>144726145
I'd recommend to chose to make a chart of anime that excels in specific styles OR anime that excels in specific qualities.
>>
>>144724382
Does the Madoka Rebellion movie fit better under Surreal? Or would Experimental describe its Inu Curry visuals more accurately.

Mushishi definitely needs to be in the "scenery porn--nature" category.
>>
>>144726170
Well, certain qualities would be the best. Styles wouldn't quite fit for something like this I believe.

What would you suggest in terms of that?
>>
>>144726221
If you want that drop. Experimental. Motion: Action, color palette, costume design, use of 3d, cinematography. MAYBE motion:realism,
>>
>>144726270
I could definitely drop a few of those, or at least rename them to more effectively clarify what it is we want to put forward.

I would like to keep something to do with 3D/CGI, alternative art styles, and action choreography, however.

>>144724382
>The core purpose of this chart is not to recommend shows on the basis of their story but on the basis of their visuals and animation.
You and everyone seriously posting ITT needs to hang yourselves
>>
>>144724382
Gundam Thunderbolt could fit very well in Stylized Animation.

Unless you think it's more /m/ than /a/.
>>
What do you mean "Use of 3D"?
Because if full 3D, nothing can top Polygon, especially Sidonia (except Expelled from Paradise, that was a movie). But if used as a tool, Orange takes the cake. Plus points to PA Works' Kuromukuro for making a fluid mecha choreography sword battle.
>>
>>144725443

>>
>>144726339
so make a new chart.
>>
>>144726466
Who made that EVA short that was on animator expo? The CG was great.
>>
>>144726466
Back when this was first made 3D wasn't quite as prominent, so it probably needs redefining.

>>144726491
Don't see how it'd be all that much different from the current one, sorry. Overall the aim is to point out interesting parts in series that people have possibly overlooked due to being focused on the story.
>>
>>144724382
Well, for experimental animation I'd just put good examples of animation that's not commercial or mainstream. Stuff like Kunio, Yamamura, Mizue or Tsuji. Stylized Motion will be more towards mainstream stuff like Ohira.
>>
Oh, I remember this. You never finished the old anime chart, did you?
>>
I nominated pic related for use of 3D. Possibly Blame! too once it comes out.
>>
Anyone got the updated /a/ Rec Chart?
>>
>>144724382

Best urban:
Kara no Kyoukai
Makoto Shinkai's your name (saw it at Anime Expo)
>>
>>144726809
Yeah. I meant to get back around to it, but I got pretty sick a couple years back.

I'm adjusting the chart right now to get rid of a couple categories to make it easier.
>>
>>144726808
what Tsuji
>>
>>144726919
Maybe filling the categories one by one would be easier.
>>
>>144724382
Etotama for use of 3D
>>
>>144724382
I've been thinking for a while now that there haven't been made recommendation guides recently and that we need to make some updated versions. I also like that you're first explicitly trying to get an agreement on methodology. Nice, desu.
>>
>>144724382
Experimental would be Ping Pong, Tatami Galxy and House of small cubes
>>
>>144724382
Urban scenery porn would be Kara no Kyoukai and Psycho Pass
>>
>>144727041
holy shit
>>
>>144724382
Use of 3D would be the first 4 JoJo OPs
>>
Gimme a minute everyone whilst I just update the categories.

Really appreciate all the examples put forward so far. There's some really good ones in here.
>>
>>144724382
For the motion action category I would definitely go for Space Dandy.
As pleb as it may sound OPM and FMA:B would be worthy as well. OPM for obvious reasons, FMA:B is stretched a bit thinner but the fight choreography was mostly top-notch.

Don't know how we decide on movies to existing franchises, but FMA Sacred Star of Milos is a real Kameda-fest we could put instead of thr actual serues. (Speaking of Kameda, Mob Psycho might be up for discussion depending on how it turns out).

I think Imaishi deserves a spot in stylized animation and I'm pretty partial to Gurren Lagann, though PSG is definitely more outlandish. Though putting one of his shows without having any Kanada yet is debatable.

Momo e no tegami is an obvious pick for surreal.

GitS 1995 and Jin Roh for realistic.

Since we're talking visuals I really want Penguindrum in there but with artsy gone I'm not sure where it'd fit.

I honestly think color palette is a shit category, since it's just part of visual direction/symbolism. If we change the category to that, Penguindrum would probably be a good fit.

Ah shit so much stuff I want I can't think of it all. If you want pics or webms to back up my claims just ask, I'll gladly comply.

>>144726196
Agreed

>>144726536
Definitely the best 3D I've seen
>>
>>144724382
Quality is DB Super

Princess Kaguya.jpg
155KB, 736x1261px
>>144724382
I'll try to pick one for each:
Scenery Porn: Natur - Mushishi
Scenery Porn: Urban - Kyousou Giga
Minimalism - Tatami Galaxy, if we want just one Yuasa then maybe Merdmaid (a short by Osamu Tezuka)
Surreal - Angel's Egg, though this might fit in the next one as well.
Cinematography: End of Evangelion
Color Palette: Casshern Sins
Costume Design: xxxHolic, though those were more impressive in the manga, so maybe Princess Jellyfish
Stylized Animation: Wanwa the Puppy and Kid's Story, if you want one Ohira then just Wanwa
Motion Action - FLCL
Realism - Jin-Rou and Letter to Momo (if one Okiura then Jin-Rou)
3D - Car Shit One
Experimental - A Feather Stare at the Dark (Charcoal Animation)

Ok, guess I couldn't limit myself to one in the end.

I'd also definitely put Kaguya somewhere.
>>
>>144724382
since we already have the old charts, how about restricting it to the last N years? I mean the old charts don't suddenly become invalid and repeating them would also be redundant.
>>
>>144727076
?
>>
>>144727110
Case in point to the "franchise movies" category, Lagann-hen is a better, more concentrated representation of Imaishi style than the actual show
>>
>>144727110
Dead leaves showcases Imaishi better than any of his Television works.
>>
>>144724382
minimalism is Panty and Stocking
>>
>>144724382
Kizu for color pallet, that movie was so fucking nice on the eyes.

Alright, here are the changes. Made a couple a bit broader.

I don't really find it to suprising that a hentai by Shinbo would have good composition. This honestly looks like a kind of hentai I could watch without even touching my penis once and enjoying the visuals.

I also think charts are better then just providing the title without any images like most posts in this thread.

Plus, I think Anno in general is a person people respect for his visual crafsmenship. I just added a cinegrid because I like cinegrids.

I find it kind of weird to have Ping Pon next to Tortov and Franz Kafka. That's why I think the experimental and stylized division made sense.

Unique styl, traditional animation:

Shigeru Tamura - Glassy Ocean
Mirai Mizue - Wonder
Osamu Tezuka - Jumping or Broken Down Film

Unique animation technique:
Tadanari Okamoto - A Restaurant of Many Orders (Copper Plate Engraving)
Kihachiro Kawamoto - Ibara-Hime matawa Nemuri-Hime (stop motion puppets)
Naoyuki Tsuji - Yami wo Mitsumeru Hane (Charcoal animation)
Noburo Ofuji - Yuurei Sen (silhouette animation)
Keita Kurosaka - Midori-ko (pencil animation)

I have best pics for the others, but those are the best overall in my opinion.

I haven't watched it, so maybe it's more unique than it looks in those pictures or even in motion, but it doesn't look that different from other anime, such a Rakugo.

I was considering putting Katanagatari into minimalism, but I'm sure there must have been a reason why it never made it on the other revision. I'm sure I remember some people making good points against it.

There should be a section for characterisation via animation and put Shouwa Genroku Rakugo Shinjuu and some Naoko Yamada in there, shows or movies that emphasis character expressions, framing, posturing and interactions. Something being pretty and striking is all good and pleasant but we should also praise/recommend animation that facilitates for storytelling. This category would also give credence to talented direction whereas one could argue all other categorises celebrate animation directors, key animators and the quality of the studio. perhaps this could replace CGI usage because even the best CG in anime isn't particularly incredible, it's like we have two QUALITY sections

All of these shows had their CG done by Orange, and they, naturally, get better as years come. MJP was the earliest of the four, and was, in my opinion, a bit too overly reliant on rapid camera movement and I wasn't the biggest fan of the shading.
Now I'm obviously biased since this was my favourite show of last year, but I'd put Exodus out of them, Buddy Complex only used CG for dynamic faraway shots and switched to 2D for closeups and Active Raid, well, that's just bias. Active Raid is even better in some areas like blending, but then again things like Festum aren't supposed to blend in, the CG makes them look extremely alien and unfitting which is the point.
Oddly enough, Mayoiga nailed that effect too. The CG monsters looked so ridiculously out of place the B-movie effect was enhanced trifold.

I'll try to provide some different examples.
>>
>>144730728
Yeah it's a shame, I love interesting visuals styles and fluid animation as much as the next guy, but most examples of these are high budget action or surreal orientated shows. A characterisation section would serve as a proper means of introducing newfags to character-orientated storytelling as a subtle alternative to some of the larger scale shows/movies already featured on the list. There's kind of a stigma against SoL outside of certain circles on /a/ so I wouldn't be surprised if that's the reason why people are opposed to this idea, but IMO we should be demostrating all the medium has to offer and not only the experimental/high budget stuff.

Basically all of:
>Experimental
>Minimalism
>Surreal Visuals
>Cinematography
>Unique Style
could be put into a single "visual direction" section

All of:
>CGI Usage
>Choreography
>Motion (Other)
could be put into a single "animation" section

All of:
>Scenery Porn: Nature
>Scenery Porn: Urban
could be put into a single "back drops" section

So just squash together two "visual direction" categories and put in direction or characterisation, if people approve.

I feel like Panty and Stocking shouldn't be in minimalist. Scenes often get really cluttered and get messy with colour.

In the 3DCGI category:

Short Peace
Last Exile

The first is probably the best example you'll find of artistic CGI useage, since it was an anthology made specifically to showcase the potential of CGI animation. The last entry in the anthology, A Farewell to Weapons, is particularly exceptional from a technical standpoint.

Last Exile itself was simply groundbreaking for its time, as one of the earliest examples of CGI integrating successfully with traditional animation. It's worthwhile as a historical curiosity if nothing else, as it was essentially a proof-of-concept for CGI use in anime.

I would disagree, when I first came to /a/ I had only seen Afro Samurai and TTGL and maybe a few others but I had certainly not heard of Nichijou. Charts like this are for newfags who have seen absolutely nothing and come on her wanting to know how to into animu

I think the issue with including Nichijou is that the animation is by no means a staple of the series. Every now and again it explodes into suddenly, intense sakuga for the sake of a gag, but the overwhelming majority of the show, outside of maybe 8 or 10 gags spread across 26 episodes, is very conventional in its motion and animation.

It would be like including Owari no Seraph in urban scenery porn because it had 2 or 3 nice backgrounds in the first few episodes.

>french new wave cinematography
French new wave doesn't feature a cohesive style you nitwit, literally the whole basing for the movement was that each director had their own unique style, the auteur theory. Truffaut isn't comparable in shot composition and framing to Godard or Resnais. The closest stylistic correlation between each directors' films would be editing techniques, which isn't cinematography. Otherwise the literal point of the movement was to showcase each directors unique image, you could not be any more wrong, quit talking out of your ass.

This is besides the fact that no one director in the movement created films anything like Bakemonogatari.

In other words, just like Shinbo's style.

You seem to have mistakenly assumed that for something to qualify as "french new wave" requires not that it follows the tenets of french new wave, which would mean giving auteurs the freedom to express their own, unique style and eschew standardized style approaches, but that it simply imitates the unique style of one of the auteurs involved with the movement, which would actually be directly contrary to the entire driving concept behind the movement.
>>
>>144735304
But every Eastern show is like that besides movies or shortrun series. No 26 episode series has consistently excellent animation, to the level that every scene could be featured in a webm in some cancerous sakuga thread. Nichijou does it for gags just as Space Dandy or One Punch Man does it for action. Arguably Nichijou is a more consistent example because while Dandy has its idle scenes in the cafe or spaceship or OPM has its idle scenes in his apartment, neither of which showcasing particularly incredible animation (sorry if I'm forgetting some good scenes in these settings) Nichijou almost always features fluid animation, which is why people throw around "forced animation", because KyoAni used excessive frames during just idle scenes.

I disagree with the use of CG section. I think that the Space Pirate Harlock movie from 2013 is the most visually impressive CG movie Japan has ever produced. It certainly beats out Cat Shit One if we treat them both as contenders for a "photorealistic" position.

oh okay, but why would he describe Shinbo as having a: "good use of french new wave cinematography" when there is no "french new wave cinematography". If his argument is that Shinbo is comparable to French new wave directors because he has a unique stylistic approach to storytelling then he makes sense but that sentiment is fucking stupid, by that same merit anyone who is unique could be described as French new wave, he's using the name of a movement from the 1960s interchangeably with the word "unique".

I stand by saying the guy's talking out of his ass from when he used the term "french new wave cinematography" and he's been backpedalling since, boy's probably read the name Godard once and thinks he's a fucking scholar.

>>
>>144735795
>run-on sentence broken up by commas
I'm guessing english isn't your first language?

The first comma is indicating the beginning of a parenthetical statement qualifying "the tenets of french new wave" while the second is indicating a sequential relation between the adjectives own and unique, both of which are describing "style." The third comma indicates the end of the parenthetical statement, while the fourth is paired with the coordinating conjunction "but" to connect a second, closely related independent clause to the first. The last comma indicates the beginning of the dependent clause attached to the 2nd independent clause.

Basically, imitating the style of a french new wave director automatically means that your work is not french new wave because it's simply following conventions instead of being a vessel for the director to express their own style.

I'm also not the same guy that first claimed Bakemonogatari was french new wave, I just thing your argument was flawed.

>>144736123
>by that same merit anyone who is unique could be described as French new wave
That's kind of the point. The sufficient conditions for being french new wave are relatively lax unless you start introducing completely arbitrary qualifications. It's not a meaningful description, it's just an ostentation bundle of jargon that gets tossed around so pretentious film students can sound smart.

That's not right. It would be more reasonable to say something along the following lines:

>>144736334
No because the underlying implication is that you can be "French new wave" which simply isn't true. One can share a French new wave sentiment, but if you're trying to express that and you knew what you were talking about you'd call the director an auteur. French new wave was a movement, something that a contemporary director in Japan cannot retroactively be apart of. If I directed a movie on the streets of my British town it wouldn't known as Italian neorealist despite probably sharing many of the hallmarks of the movement.

Plus all of this is negating the fact that the guy said "Bakemonogatari for it's good use of french new wave cinematography", very clearly stating that Bakemonogatari had a visual style reminiscent of the French new wave. Not that it was unique or that the director was an auteur, those things were stated afterwards as he was backpedalling. He explicitly claimed that Bakemonogatari used French new wave cinematography, which I have already stated multiple times: doesn't exist.

English is my first language. Wouldn't multiple independent clauses connected in one sentence in this manner be connected via a hyphen or semicolon? I'm spoilering because I'd rather we not be hung up on semantics.

Movements never end, guy.
You can't be a part of the token historical context in which the movement emerged a posteriori, but it's never too late to contribute to a movement, either directly or indirectly. Just because the modernist movement emerged a century ago doesn't mean you can't still be a modernist.

>Not that it was unique or that the director was an auteur, those things were stated afterwards as he was backpedalling.
The guy who claimed that Bakemonogatari and the guy that claimed Shinbo is an auteur are two different people, anon. You keep making these baseless inferences about the anonymous person you're responding to and you've been wrong every time. I know you really like the word backpedalling, but it isn't strengthening your argument here in the least.


As for the grammar question, you can connect two independent clauses by combining a comma with a conjunction like and or but etc in the same way you would connect them using a semicolon. They are interchangeable and largely up to stylistic preference, though this method is more common since proper semicolon use is sadly no longer common knowledge.

>Movements never end, guy
>but it's never too late to contribute to a movement
the french new wave collective were a very specific group of people who attended the Objectif 49 clubs of Andre Bazin and closely followed his teachings, or those who contributed to Cahiers du cinéma. This is so specific that directors also from France, also from the same period and also sharing a similar sentiment as Godard and Truffaut are not known as French new wave, but rather Left Bank (see Alain Resnais and Anges Verda). The reason things are known as movements rather than genre isn't to sound up your own ass but because it implies a certain period. Vitterio de Sica, a very well known contributor to Italian neorealism, directed the very depressing war-based movie Two Women in 1960. Two Women shared many of the same themes and the same time period as his 1940s movies, but it isn't known as Italian neorealism because it was during Italy's period of economic revitalization and the people of Italy were no longer in the same frame of mind, and because cinema had collectively changed in Italy, leaving de Sica's style behind. This is how we use the term "movement" - it isn't interchangeable with "genre" - it is used to categorise people during a certain time and most often in a certain place. Don't like it? sorry but that's just how it works.
>The guy who claimed that Bakemonogatari and the guy that claimed Shinbo is an auteur are two different people, anon
well fine I guess the guy didn't backpedal, doesn't change the fact that what he said was initially wrong, and people defending him haven't changed that fact.
>you've been wrong every time
it's funny because going back over my posts with people we've mainly been accidentally agreeing, the only disagree would appear to be with whether you can retroactively contribute to a movement.

Fuck you, grammar is fun

I think we've hit a dead end here since the principle contention is whether or not movements ever truly end, which is just a matter of opinion between two people who understand the concept of a movement differently.
>>
>>144739889
It's Such a Beautiful Day is quite amazing, really. It's probably the only thing that animator has ever done that's actually been worth taking seriously, but it's quite a brilliant piece of storytelling and humour

fuck it lets go back to talking about grammar. jk I can admit I don't know enough

also I was about to pose this to you but I got chatting with someone irl: If I painted in the same style as da Vinci or with the same style/ideology of the artists of his era, would that make me a renaissance artist?

I'm going to play squash so sorry if I don't reply straight away.

if you cba to argue thank you for agreeing to disagree, this was a nice chat. Sorry OP for fucking your thread up

There's nothing wrong with not liking stuff that's considered classic.
They're usually made for specific audiences and not broad markets, which inevitably means a lot of people wont appreciate them, not because of bad taste of a lack of culture but simply because it's not made for them.

Try them out; it's pretty likely that you wont like them, but there's a chance they'll be exactly the kind of show or movie you love.

>If I painted in the same style as da Vinci or with the same style/ideology of the artists of his era, would that make me a renaissance artist?
If you could actually do so with sufficient accuracy, I think it would be appropriate to refer to your style as being that of the renaissance, yes. The issue here is that renaissance can refer both to a movement in various different fields (painting, writing, literature, politics, philosophy, etc) as well as a period in history characterized by the emergence of these movements. When one refers to an artist as being a renaissance artist, it's generally ambiguous as to whether they mean an artist situated in the renaissance period of history, which has definite start and end dates, or the movements whose emergence characterized the renaissance period, which are still influential in their respective fields even to this day. The distinction tends to not even matter unless you're referring specifically to something which happened outside of the fixed historical dates which frame the renaissance era.

We tend to preface contributors of movements which are very antiquated with "neo-" because in most cases the artist in question is so far removed from the movement that true imitation is impossible, and the closest that can be achieved is an approximation that appears clearly inauthentic to the trained observer. Hence why poets who deal with the same subject matter as the ancient greeks are referred to as "neoclassical." It is perhaps not impossible to be truly classicalist in your style, but it's quite impractical at this late stage. Other movements simply become so normalized that it's rather redundant to refer to them as movements at all, even though they still technically are. Every act of voting at an election is technically a political act contributing to the democratic movement but that's become self-evident to the degree where it's rather pointless to refer to it as such.

Those kinds of charts are (and have always been) both retarded and useless.
Instead of being divided by genres the categories are chosen randomly. Nobody is going to say "I want to watch an good anime with scenary porn: Urban" or "read a manga with Western Influences".
Moreover limiting each category to 5 is arbitrary and something that just going cut out a lot of good stuff, or end up highlighting mediocre stuff (e.g. Gantz).

At the end of the day your reasoning that this shits supposed to be useful to anyone is just a way to masquerade a genuine circlejerk, producing worthless OC.
To this day the only good rec list I've seen is the very old manga one.
>>
One Punch Man needs to be in motion action. Episode 12 was one of the best animated episodes of the decade, and the series as a whole has so many fantastic examples of sakuga that it's absurd not to put it in this chart.

imo the best / most useful recommendations charts are usually the most niche ones. Picking a tiny sampler of a bunch of arbitrary categories with no focus leads to this bs. Pick a genre, time frame, format, the works, and then go to town. 20th century adventure movies. 90s mahou shoujo shows. Best experimental shorts of the 2010s. That kinda thing. Focus is important.

I'm pretty sure the purpose of this is for people to say "I want something that looks good" and to then have a range of different styles to pick from, and be able to pick stuff that looks good or stuff that is similar to the things they liked.

>I really liked that seasonal show [insert any slice of life in the country], are there any other pretty shows in a similar setting?
>I watched Ghost in the Shell because of the Matrix, are there any other movies with nice city locations?
>I've never watched anime before, give me something similar to western cartoons for an easy transition?
>yeah yeah yeah I get that all of these art shows are well animated, why not something action-orientated?

I would almost not recommend putting any of the Japan animator expo shorts on the chart but rather just have a blanket recommendation for all of them if you are interested in animation.
