How can we fix Kyoto Animation? Should they branch out into different genres?

Who could write a better show that could play up to the studio's strengths?

Imagine KyoAni animating a cyberpunk show that's not a slice of life.

Speaking of which, I read the rough translation of the first chapter today. If KyoAni get it right, it will probably be the best opening episode of its season.
It will also be the kind of highly reputable show that gets cited as a beautiful work outside the context of anime (even if it underperforms locally which is very possible). I think KA must know this, which would be why they spammed multiple language announcements at the end of the CM and uploaded it with English title/subs, they want foreign attention.

Evergarden is much more hypable than pretty much anything they have done in a long while, not as a 500+-replies meme show about teenagers, but as a classy and "deep" show about loss and death and shit. Expect it to be a critical darling.

No. This is why they are going back to Hibike. The only thing KyoAni can do are series like those four. Factually speaking, anything else they try outside of their comfort zone fails miserably.

KyoAni should also stay away from second seasons. Historically, they have never created a better second season than the first season of any anime.

Like I said, nothing beyond actual practice. They had opportunities to expose the struggle but they rather went into relationships than the real meat of the story.

I should also add, that Kaori doesn't want to accept the fact that Reina is just better than her. Struggles are there and touched upon. You fucking retard didn't watch the anime or were not paying attention at all.

>>145310293

No, sensei said to keep practicing for the Kansai competition, which they would advance to only if they got a non-dud gold in the prefecturals.

You fucking retard, Those are expectations and not the real struggle. This is all shallow passive shit and not the real depth of the meat. Literally the only character that practiced hard long term had never any screentime with her struggle. Everyone else was just fucking garbage and didn't even get into a real apprenticeship.

You literally name all those shallow entries of garbage that quits early on. Really struggle begins deep into the apprenticeship. Eupho was just a circlejerk of expectations. This is literally the surface of the struggle. You know shit about this topic so you should shut the fuck up about your garbage.
>>
>>145299603
Perhaps not the extravagant Sakuga you have in mind, but the refinement and attention to detail is absolutely top tier.

Each frame is so damn clean and crisp with barely any error in character structure to be found.

It's arrogant/ignorant to claim that it's lacklustre or that it's unimpressive.

It's hard to take anyone who says kyoani has mediocre/shit animation seriously. It just sounds too much like false flagging bait and its not at all believable. Literally every studio has said they wish they could do what kyoani does with their shows.

>>
>>145310860
I think you don't know what struggle and expectation mean. You seem to think they're mutually exclusive. The teacher for example was expecting Kumiko to get the solo part right, Kumiko struggled with it for 2 episodes but she couldn't get it right.
>>
>>145310897
Will S2 have more struggling?
>>
>>145310951
Dealing with expectations is beginner shit. That's what I meant when I said they just touch the surface of the struggle. Literally the only girls that was deep in her apprenticeship didn't have any screentime with her struggle. It was just beginner shit the entire time and people that didn't take the hobby seriously anyway. Ponytail had potential but once her expectations failed her she basically quit instead of going into the real struggle.
>>
>>145299557
I have no idea if you will read this OP, but my my understanding is that there is an actual reason why we are stuck with the writers and stories they choose to animate. I believe they have a fairly unique relationship with kadokawa compared with other anime companies, and additionally I believe they have some sort of in house quota to animate a certain number of shows based on novels written within either KyoAni or kadokawa.

Also, this is all 100% heresay but it is my understanding of matters.

>>145311239
What you fail to realize is that the "relationship bullshit" is far more interesting than the details of learning how to play an instrument. If you're interested in that there's better ways to obtain that information than narrative media.

But there IS nothing beyond practice. Becoming skilled at performing music is a tedious, monotonous process of doing the same things over and over again until you stop sucking much like it is becoming skilled at anything else.

The real drama was Kumiko's change in how she approached her practice and how Reina's dedication inspired her to invest everything she had. The show covered that angle admirably.

Enlighten us. I used to play and found practice to be horribly tedious. It's the same reason you don't show characters doing homework, it's just not interesting.

>>145311728
The topic is not well suited to the medium. Technical details are usually not compelling in narrative media.
>>
>>145311239
This entire show from episode 1 is all about the characters and their relationship with being musicians. It may not have been extremely technical showing you how they play and struggle with specific things that most viewers would be lost on, but this show was through and through, about MUSIC. There's a reason why bandfags actually liked this show, it was a slice of the realities of being a musician and not just lolcharacterdrama.
>>
>>145311728
>not skilled enough
>had to settle

You make it sound like creating the show you described is something any studio wants or that anyone even wants to see.

Most anime consumers don't give a shit about the intricacies of band. Addressing the human element is 100 fold more important than nailing the technicalities.

Are you a genuine Autismo?

No, I do not think practice is a subject that is ripe for entertaining television.

Repeating the same things over and over again and refining your technique slowly while adjusting the methods of your practice as your skill level improves and you recognize what new areas you lack proficiency in are interesting topics for those who are actually engaging in said practice. Watching someone else do all of those things, on the other hand, will never not be boring as shit.

The way their solo practice sessions were presented was very nice, typically light on any exposition and you simply heard them playing the same part over and over again trying to improve.

What would be the point though?

Practice is not very interesting to watch or do, so why would any TV show attempt to present more of it than it needs to? It's not entertaining to watch and the viewer learns nothing from the experience. That last part is important too, anyone who has ever had to spend time to get good at anything ALREADY KNOWS WHAT IT'S LIKE. There's nothing insightful in a general sense at all about observing the process.
>>
>>145312351
Hibike is a drama about giting gud right? I think that a better balance between character interaction and the struggle to git gud would make it more, well, balanced. Like I said, the way it is it's like just a boring SOL to me.

The stories in some of their adapted in-house novels aren't very good but they don't have many left to animate so it's only a matter of time before they go back to fully relying on external properties to adapt.

It's only a 13 episode series, having nothing but struggle would make it monotone. Hibike had a nice pacing between SoL moments, serious episodes, practice, competitions and romance stuff. Besides, the main struggle of Kumiko resonates through the whole show and the individual struggles from supporting characters just help establish her character more.

KyoAni doesn't have many novels left to adapt and they didn't even give any special mention awards for the latest round of their novel contest.

>>145312895
I was going to tell you're wrong but you're only talking about animation. So ok.

But lately, ever since Maruyama left actually, Madhouse put a lot more effort in animation.

HxH is far from their best thing of late, OPM is far better and Death Parade (and Death Billiards) is quite nice too.

But HxH is kinda ambitious in the way it's more or less consistent for 148 eps and has greatly animated scenes.

Parasyte however felt like a joke, so disappointing, the first ep was stunning but the rest...

> they didn't even give any special mention awards for the latest round of their novel contest.

>The staff thanked readers for their submissions but said they regrettably could not choose winners even though the submitted works went "one step beyond" in originality and entertainment. Unlike last year, the studio did award three "judge special awards" in the novel category this year in order to recognize this "one step beyond." These novels are: Eiji Yoshikawa's Kyōko-san, Fly, High, Makoto Ayano's Yoda-no-Mori Kyūdōjō , and Hoeru Arihiro's Kono Hoshizora ni wa Kimi ga Tarinai.

OPM and Death Parade not and will never be representative of Madhouse's quality when so many animators who worked on it are not even studio regulars.

I think if Eupho or Koe no Katachi is any indication they might go after adaption rights for lesser demanded properties. Their writing contest has resulted in less than expected, they recently got rid of the scenario and manga categories and now have LN and short story categories only.

Creativity doesn't boil down to character designs. Their character look similar because it's the same in-house designers doing them, all of SHAFT's anime would look similar as well if it was always Akio Watanabe doing the designs. All Bones shows would look similar if Hiro Kanzaki did all their characters.
>>
>>145313344
All? No.
A lot? Yes.

Learn to nuance.

Also, they never had a lot of visual creativity, besides their flawless animation, use of blur, etc. Hyouka was the most creative thing they did since Nichijou which was just a nice SD comedy with exaggerated motion.

Before that there was only the giants in Haruhi that were kinda interesting, and some might say Kyon's introspection.

What's good in Kyoani is the way they handle the translation from text media to visual media.

I don't feel like judging Clannad as a whole, but the impact of a lot of scenes are no joke. It's a shitty VN. Same for Haruhi which come from a light novel. Nichijou is a yonkoma, 4 fucking panels.

They always do great translations to cinematography when there's so little source material.

Actually, Koe no Katachi might be the thing with the most original content (visually) to take from. But I think they're gonna hack it and make their own visual storytelling.
>>
>>145313489
>>145313558
Aesthetic animation isn't the only quality of a studio. Kyoani's directorial creativity is shit and they're obsessed with making their characters "Pretty" at all times.

Can you imagine if they had done Re:Zero (which they actually had a chance to do, but turned down)? It would have been a fucking disaster. Subaru would have been a googly eyed fuck with very little range of emotion because of Kyoani's design, and everything would have felt overly grounded because of how limited their animation is.

I've already seen K-On, I don't need to see it 500 more times. It works for grounded slice of lifes, but combined with anything remotely outside that element falls flat. Kyoani is one-dimentional. Anything they've ever tried to do which wasn't a highschool drama has been awful.

That's the dumbest shit I've read today. First of all, people know jack shit about KyoAni's corporate decisions and secondly, the studio choosing to bet on unknown titles from their new publishing label is a risky move so it's daft to think that one show with mediocre sales pushed the studio to be so risk-adverse.
>>
>>145314624
the series aired in 2006 though
>>
>>145314555
He's talking about creativity limitations as a result of commercial strategy

KyoAni of before Nichijou were more "honest" with their designs, the people were always kinda cute but not overdone and overshown, there was often a story to serve.

Now it's rarely the case and the characters, each ones, are like mascots. Flanderization of their designs and characters, literally.
>>
>>145314573
>I think there're a lot of people saying that the commercial failure of Nichijou is what made KyoAni retract into the comfort zone

And those people were wrong. The manga ranked quite high for a while after the show aired, and the anime sold 3k, which is average. The reason people bought into the Nichijou was a failure meme is because some Japanese animator posted about how in Kadokawa's report they said that Nichijou anime under-performed relative to the expectations and marketing they put into it.

It boils down at least feeling like I'm not watching a show I've already seen before.

I used to buy in to Kyoani hype back when they weren't multiple years removed from at least creating an unique show.

I'll never understand people who still defend Kyoani. Even the SHAFT internet defense force has more recent reasons to defend their studio, and they aren't nearly as weirdly fervent as the Kyoani white knights.
>>
Why do people think K-ON was the turning point in KyoAni designs? Horiguchi isn't the only designer at KyoAni and she's not even with the studio any more. The other designers like Nishiya, Ikeda, and Kadowaki have designs that sure as hell don't look like Horiguchi's.

What you do not seem to get is that it's not enough to put a "funny weird face" once in a while to break your image of "perfect young guy" that seduce the female watching the show.

>>145314276
That's a believable moment for a character to look bad, looking pained, not at ease (of course he was just stabbed).

The thing is, there aren't characters like that anymore in KyoAni.

Tomoya from Clannad was relatable as human being. The guy from Hyouka is just a stereotype of lazy youngster "lol so cool he don't want to do efforts but he's so hot and talented!"

Tomoya and Kyon make you feel like there's something going on in their head, good and bad feelings. The girl from Euphonium is kinda like that too but not as much.

Any guys between Nichijou and Euphonium is just a fucking avatar made to represent one type of reaction (Hyouka being the less bad of them). https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I6cyKZZMFE0

it's a basic gesture. you are glamourizing something a menial as showing affection when that animation could have gone towards showing something far more dramatic all because there were more frames to it. it takes more than smoothness to make good animation. you have to look at what you're animating and think about what makes it worthwhile to see. a lot of kyoani's faults are in this area.

The thing is that you're a retard. Hibike or Hyouka for example have a lot of subtle character animation, while shows like Phantom World, Nichijou or Chuu2 had over the top, exaggerated animation, that KyoAni supposedly lacks according to you, because it lend itself to it.

What the fuck are you talking about?
>>
>>145316831
I'm not the guy. But I didn't interpret his post as wanting only over the top animation (and it's not a secret anymore that they can do such things).

What he said is that in animation, there are things that are worth keeping from reality, and other things that can be skipped. What he says is that Kyoani, yeah, overdo its animation, which is in a sense good, but doesn't think enough about the actual emotion that those motions convey.

Even if I do not completely agree, as you said there are times where it's subtle and well done. Other times it's pointless (but it's still great to have such detailed movements).

BUT as >>145316783 said, to provide maximum impact it's also useful to have moment of "less" to make the "most" shine more.
>>
>>145317039
I know right? And what's with all those CGI letters and pieces of typewriters falling everywhere, I can't watch a show with that happening it will just get in the way

Probably Photoshop, Everyone can see how the KyoAni storyboards look and print them. That Bakuon image looked way too clean as well.
>>
>>145317059
There were rumors and images of KyoAni sketches of them doing Bakuon a fair time before the announcement that TMS is the Studio doing it

It's been roughly 8 months since then but it hasn't been cleared up if it was just a photoshop or KyoAni looking into adapting a K-ON! parody

Those will obviously not be in the anime. The thing was just a promotional video.

Okay, I'm not hating Kyoani or anything, but why do you guys so sure if VEG story is not complete shit like any recent Kyoani adaptations?

Don't bring the 'award winning' bullshit, anon. Last time I check KnK, Chu2, & Myriad are still shit, unlike Hibike.
>>
>>145317172
Bakuon is of super bad taste, KyoAni wouldn't have adapted it.
>>
>>145317095
Jeez, you make it sound like KyoAni shows are animated like Disney films. KyoAni productions have plenty of animation downtime as well just like pretty much every other anime, it's just that sometimes they put a bit more effort into the ordinary sequences as well.
>>
>>145317264
>why do you guys so sure if VEG story is not complete shit like any recent Kyoani adaptations?
We have a pastebin of spoilers for the first volume, also there is a link to a translation of the first chapter ITT.

Although desu you could kind of tell even without the spoilers, just from the premise, that it was much more interesting material than recent kyoani fare.

Chu2 1 was enjoyable.

I don't really care about their animation simply because the story is awful. Literally cute girls doing things.

Waifufags love it, I simply don't care.

There are some cool things done with camera movement in this, but no single length of hand drawn animation that you could actually put in a webm by itself and be impressed by.

I think the thing about KyoAni aside from having a bit more animation than average is their use of different camera shots and angles. A few years ago I tried comparing a couple episodes of Hyouka with another show airing that season and Hyouka had roughly the same amount of individual cuts of a live action TV series. That means more individual character and background drawings in different perspective and distances during almost every cut, so KyoAni shows tend to feel more dynamic.
>>
>>145317716
Sod off. Miso's cuts are godly. The end.

To those who think forced animation is just a meme...

http://talking-time.net/showthread.php?t=14002

"Oh boy, Bluth. I know I've mentioned it at least once or twice before on TT back in the day, but hey, it's appropriate to bring it up again. One of the animation professors I had back in college was ex-Disney, he was a 2D animator who worked on a lot of their films for years and years. He started there in the early '80s when Bluth still worked at Disney, and he hated Bluth. He distinctly remembers Don Bluth having a group of friends/followers in a sort of clique in the animation department, who were very haughty and unpleasant to everybody else. The group also liked to 'outdo' each other with their animation, trying to trump each other with intricacy and stuff. The whole group left with Bluth when he did.

My prof still wanted to give him a chance and went to see Secret Of NIMH in theaters when it came out, but he walked out after about ten minutes. His reason: "The damn crow wouldn't stop moving". He always stressed how there was a time and place for certain animation and how animators needed to know when to not animate, and Bluth's over-animation of everything drove him crazy."

And on page 6...

"Man, I've never had a problem with so-called "over-animation" before, but it's amazing how many contrivances Bluth uses to keep his heroine constantly moving here. Like, she says, "Could you say that a little slower?" while making this really weird waving gesture with her hands. A moment later, she says, 'Maybe I should take notes' and actually pantomimes writing on her hand, the way no one does."

>saying thing like 'VEG will reshape Kyoani in general' is just too much in my opinion.
I don't think anyone said it will reshape KyoAni but the discussion around them will change, at least here. The whole conversation about KyoAni is within the limits of their source material. These threads always cycle around the same points of how everything they produce is cute girl(/boy) shit, they don't tackle particularly challenging stories or settings, they keep putting out dumb comedies or teenage dramas, they aren't using their animation powers for good or whatever the fuck.
Meanwhile VEG brings an alternate history setting, bleak tone and tragic subject matter, individual stories looking at various themes and a wide range of characters, an overall thoughtful pace but with big action elements, it's like the thing people have wanted them to make for ages. Even if they completely fuck it up and make it boring, it will change the kinds of arguments people have about them just by being such a big break from the pattern.
>>
>>145318933
Yeah, interesting.

If they fuck it up, what do you think will be fucked?
