Sangatsu no Lion PV

That looks great.

Doesn't look too much like usual Shaft, that's very good.

>>146670194
Wow, it actually looks normal.

Thank you based Shinbo.

>>146670360
Who woulda known that Shinbo was the most stable director at shaft.

>>146670194
>A bit low budgeted
actually not, at least from what we see in this short pv.

Oh thank fucking god it doesn't take after their stale and sterile style that have plagued most of their new shows.

God bless the big daddy himself.

>>146670448
Shinbo is a great director. Probably not a good teacher though, because most of his students don't seem to have learned much.

Buying the BD changes the whole premise of the show. Knowing Shaft this will likely happen.

I think this pretty much confirms that shinbo is actually doing the direction. None of the other directors at shaft have similar flare to Dezaki. Which Shinbo shows a ton of visual cues from the PV alone.

If it isnt him I would be suprised.

Reminder that this is also a two cour show!

>>146670883
It still has something Shaft to it, but it looks more like something like something by a Shaft dude being episode director on a show made by brain's base for example.
The style is there but it's not all up its own ass as it is usually known to be.

Will the MC fuck the 3 sisters ?

>>146671122
In doujinshi

I don't see why you're all surprised. It looks like the usual Shaft show, expect it doesn't have wacky backgrounds.

No they didnt. Look at Zaregoto. And I'm guessing Fate will be even more muh style.

Its just that this source requires them to be more tame. This is the closest we will ever get to pre gatari era shaft. Rejoice now because theres only 22 weeks of this.

Shaft's Digital Photography department is top notch.

Even Kizumonogatari with his high amount of CG didn't use much post-effects. It's interesting that Shaft is aware that they are doing animations and not doing some pseudo filming.

Shockingly cheap looking.

Odds are the best freelancers that Shaft know will be working on Kizu too, which is what already happened with the previous two Kizu movies. It's their prestige project after all.

The color is on the dark side of things. But it does have pastelly flare to it.

>>146673169

not really.

Quite the opposite. The entire SoL segment was nicely animated.

>>146672063
When KyoAni used 3d models in Hibike no one noticed and thought that every instrument was hand drawn. That's how much low key their CG is. The post fx they apply is just a directional preference of Yamada and Ishihara.

>>146673948

It got caught up in two animated blockbusters now, GuP and Kimi. I wonder what the third one will be.

>>146674395
Yeah but looking at the credits you'll see their only veterans working on it and you'll see that even the biggest name freelancers were working on Kizu 1. Shinkai used them all up on kimi no wa so that Kizu 2 didn't have anyone big working on it.

There are no big projects remaining this year. KyoAni's movie would most likely hit 500m. Mappa's movie isn't a big hitter either. Aniplex's movie doesn't look decent enough and was already postponed so the hype died.

>>146670194
Hey, would you look at that. Shinbo tamed his usual directing style to fit the tone of the show like everyone with half a brain thought would happen. Now if only they took the same care with Zaregoto as they did with this.

>>146674637

Yeah I'm sure Aniplex is happy about giving them another budget and then counting the monetary gains from the 1st movie. Doesn't work like that when it's a subcontracting movie.

>Studios hate working on NHK projects because it's government owned and they can't decline their offer.

That's too bad, I just want to look at really nice drawings of instruments

>>146674682
Zaregoto is more of a cash grab from Gatari fanbase by Aniplex. While this looks like a passion project.

>>146674727
Good on Kyoani for not pandering to those faggots

>>146674704
Compare it to Shinkai's movie, Hosoda's last 2 movies or Kizu 1 even. Kizu 2 didn't get enough attention in the making and flopped at the box office. Hope Aniplex learns from that for the HF movies.

Another budget? You realize its only 1 hour long per movie. That is like owari episode 1 special with 15 extra minutes. Consider the fact that most of the background were either CG or real life they didnt exhaust as much money as you think they did.

Shaft is known as the budget saving studio. Which is why aniplex loves them.

I don't really care about anything outside monogatari series.

>>146675242
The first time I liked a Monogatari book more than the anime. Kizu sucked dick anon.

>>146675327
You hate what is popular and successful.

>>146674960
2-gen 3 months prior to airing? holy shit
if it was 3 weeks, I'd be making fun of them though

>Kizu was the best thing ever a month ago
>now everyone hates it

>>146675262
You really think Aniplex is hurting? 3 movies, 3 BD release, and 1 box set for the movie. Thats enough for a profit. And consider the fact its Shaft they most likely stayed within minimum budget.

>>146671574

It looks terrible fampai.

>>146675066
>>146675148

That means bad.
You know, almost all major studio seek help from other studio, like key animation (原画_, cleaning up rough (２原画) key animation, in-betweening / 動画 (most common).

Wanpack is a studio that often handles such a work, and not very good at it.

Outsourcing key animation to wanpack alone is bad enough, but the most fucked up scenario is that a studio must outsourced/seek help to clean up a rough key animation (that's basically what 2nd key animator do).

It's all about schedule, with a bad schedule, sometimes key animators could only hand in their rough key animation to the studio, and other animators must clean that up. Having 2nd key animator means that the production is already hitting the deadline.

>>146675262

Sure

>>146675455
Dat revisionist history. Everyone was underwhelmed in the first threads when the BDs came. Only people who watched it at the movies hyped it.

>>146675394
Main Kizu's problem is splitting it to 3 parts. It sucks a lot.

Two years ago I would have been mad but now I'm glad for some strange reason.

>>146675506
Wow aniplex guy back at it again with lies. You realize Shaft has worked with them on virtually every series.

>>146675524
>underwhelmed

>>146675524
>Everyone was underwhelmed in the first threads when the BDs came.
No, there was a lot of cherrypicking and studio wars shit, but the majority of the threads were positive.

You know nothing. Why are you talking about shit you don't know?

>>146672274
Tadao Iwaki is 3gatsu's animation producer, I'd say the staff in the show will be different than their usual shows. For a reference, Tadao Iwaki was ex-MADHOUSE who joined SHAFT until Madoka TV series (that's how they got MADHOUSE to work on an episode in Madoka), then left and found Liden Films (part of USP) and now coming back to SHAFT.

He's not listed in the staff, but was mentioned in the interview

>>146674960
Oh, I thought 2ch was trolling when I saw that. Hello production hell my old friend.

>pretending 2-gen are unusual

>>146675643
We had more Leave Shaft alone that week than threads saying it was good. To be fair the movie was good from Oishi's work but Shaft let him down big.

Production hell is alright. It's part of the fun.

>>146675673
It wouldn't be Shaft if we didn't have production problems.

>>146675506
>I read ultimatemegax and now I'm expert on anime production
KYS

>>146675771
> It wouldn't be Shaft if we didn't have production problems.
The weird thing is that most Aniplex's shows are in production hell. I don't know how they manage to do that.

>>146675846
It's the industry norm.

No one cares about the baiting.

>>146675506
>Having 2nd key animator means that the production is already hitting the deadline.
Name one non-KyoAni show that doesn't use 2nd key.

>>146675867
Except for KyoAni

>Zaregoto release date is Oct 26
>Everyone assuming 2-gen was for Sangatsu

>>146675930
>talking about norm
>mention the exception

>>146675970
It doesn't matter either way.

>>146675506
> Having 2nd key animator means that the production is already hitting the deadline.
Not really. It's a pretty normal thing these days. Even Mob Psycho 100 has 2nd KA and we know that had a bunch of episodes finished ahead of time.

>>146672877
Yea except they don't have gradient hair color

>>146675867
Not really. Kadokawa, TBS and Bandai shows tend to have alright schedules when Aniplex is not involved. Independent projects à la Trigger or old Madhouse tend to do well in production too.

>>146675992
You're right, sorry.
Shouldn't bring up the extraordinary when the thread is about the ordinary.

>>146676013
I think what he's trying to say is having 2nd key is normal, but leaving those to WANPACK is a bad idea.

>>146676086
Why is Kumiko elastic?

>>146676086
Ya ya we get it kyoani is great cant you circle jerk somewhere else.

>>146676093
And he pulled it out of his ass.

>>146676086
I'm glad they put that stretchy face in the preview, because the silly faces in S1 were eh.

>>146675572
>>146675794
heh, I'm not illiterate like all you guys.

>>146675732
Enjoy your 5 ADs, 7 Assistant ADs, 20++ KA, and even 20 more of 2nd KA. Consider yourself to be very lucky if you got Abe or Imamura to animate 1 cut.

>>146675916
>>146676013
Although it's been a normal standard these days, it's not very normal to have your rough key animation for first episode to be done 3 months before airing. Who knows what could happen next ?

>>146674960

Will SHAFT ever learn? Are they really being fed scraps only that they can't fucking improve their management?

I swear, if only they'd pull a Trigger and move all their talented personnel out of that shit hole.

>>146671314
I tried to watch it expecting something coherent like Rose of Versailles but character behaviour and dialogue is completely bizarre(I watched about 10 episodes). Does it get better or I'm watching it wrong

>>146676226
They already had an exodus when Aniplex took over.

Shaft is basically split between Silver Link and Deen atm.

>>146676295

Looks like they need another one. Holy shit. How can they live with such poor management.

>>146674960
https://anidb.net/perl-bin/animedb.pl?show=creator&creatorid=1554

Like all Shaft series?

Is there something more boring that weak baiting?

>>146676357
You realize how small Shaft really is?

>>146676295
> They already had an exodus when Aniplex took over.
I want Oishi out. He needs a better chance than whatever Gatari Aniplex wants him to do.

>>146676236
IIRC Versailles was originally directed by someone else but they died during the production so Dezaki took over around the part you're stopped at.

Let's hope there won't be 3rd key animation

>>146676371
It's a big assistance studio.

Troll being an idiot again.

>>146676445
I was talking about Oniisama e, sorry.

>>146676425
You know they're bigger than Hosoda's studio and Shinkai studio combined in nukber of employees right? Only KyoAni and Sunrise are bigger in terms of late night anime studios.

>>146672874
>11 am
This is airing on 11 pm.

>>146676295
>Shaft is basically split between Silver Link and Deen atm.
How do you mean?

>>146676425
They had 70 employees as of earlier this year. Probably due for another exodus soon if Aniplex keeps their foot on Shaft's neck.

>>146676093
>leaving those to WANPACK is a bad idea
Wanpack isn't that bad when they aren't handling a whole episode by themselves.
And this is only 2nd-key for 7 cuts.
Why is this a big deal?

Ufotable outsourced 49 cuts of Tales of Zestiria's key animation, that's 1/6 of episode 5 to Wanpack and it still looks OK.
http://wanpack.main.jp/archives/4177

>>146676574
That I'm a retarded troll and samefag right now.

energy!

>>146676592
Look at what type moon did to the quality of SL anime. If anything Fate/Extra is probably going to look better than Nisemonogatari or Tsuki.

A lot of people just fear monger.

>>146676527
And the reason why you compare movie-only studios to shaft is?

So that Anipley guy still waste his lifetime with baiting in Shaft threads?

Remember when /a/ was supposed to get new janitors to improve the post quality? Good times.

>>146675468
No need to announce your shit taste.

>>146676793
TFW he becomes the new janitor.

>>146676705
Did you watch Drei? That honestly is competing for the worst looking anime this season.

>>146676826
At this point idk if you are being legit or trolling.

>>146676779
Because /a/ doesn't know studios outside of KyoAni and Shaft. I thought I would give more known examples.

>>146676886
> At this point idk if you are being legit or trolling.
I ask the same of you. Compare Drei tobthe original Prillya and say that this looks good. Zwei Herz looked better than this too.

The OST is great. Can't wait to hear it when the shows airs.

>>146676826
I think the production hell award this season goes to Orange (just google it), or Regalia which gets delayed but then again Actas has that problem since GuP days.

>>146676918
>Studio Chizu
2 movies within a 3 year time span.

>CoMix Wave Films
A movie almost every 3 years and shorts.

How does that compare to a studio that produces late night shows at a constant rate?

>>146676593
Hey, as much as I despise Ufotable's works and their unlimited filters, at least I still admitted that they have good animators like Go Kimura, and Masayuki Kunihiro who could actually work on that (and that's for episode 5 actually).

But not with Shaft, their best animators have to work on Kizu (Imamura and Abe). And if they could choose what would they worked on, I bet they prefer to work with Hirofumi Suzuki on Zaregoto.

>>146677233
Does this even need shafts best animators anyways?

From the interview, they knew they cannot fucked up with this project.
Maybe it might not be great, but passable.

Never tought I would see an Shaft anime where the characters actually MOVE

>>146677233
You sure trying very hard here.

>>146677308
Well, they don't really have many good animators other than who I mentioned before. But if I could choose animator outside of Shaft to work in these series, it will be Tetsuya Takeuchi and Ryo Araki.

>>146677404
You need to push the > button of your media player.

>>146677308
>does a SoL need good animators
Yes. It's arguably harder ti animate because everyone knows how to draw action sequences but good SoL cuts can be really hard to draw.

>>146677500
*in this series.

He is going all out again.

Although this isnt Koufuku level I am still pleased.

Why should I use media player to watch Shaft anime when I can just use Power Point?

Good stuff.

Can't wait to see the next special in two weeks.

Dedicating your life to shitpost about an animation studio for Chinese cartoons.

Nobody expects a drama show like this to be well-animated though.

Looks as bad as the zaregoto pv

>>146677669
Good, that the scenes were nicely animated.

>>146677713
Zaregoto looked way worse

>>146677781
looked fine. it was just cut in a way to display the character traits. people are just upset over akio.

>>146670194
Already picked up for Shinbo, but how is the source material?

>>146677669
Nobody expects good animation from any studio. Doesn't mean every anime should look like shit.

I like when people acting like they even know a little bit how the industry works.

>>146676918

It's really fucking sad. Meanwhile Comix Wave is the talk of the town in Japan and it's latest movie just passed 2.7 billion yen gross in Japan (We're already at the point where we can start talking potential best grossing Japanese film of the year maybe since it's past Godzilla's haul after it's first week) and /a/ is still just stuck in it's little whole circle jerking and picking fights over 2 late night anime studios.

How did it get this fucking bad here?

>>146678547
>he says he does CG shit for a living

>>146677001

Qualidea Code is pretty bad too. It's always interesting to see just how little of a fuck A-1 will give when it thinks it has the hot license or marketing hook up to compensate.

Looks extremely meh to be honest. Very forgettable.

>>146678553
Because we are on a thread dedicate to a Shaft anime?

>>146678553
But it was always bad here. Gainax vs Kyoani, Shaft vs Kyoani, Trigger vs Kyoani, JC vs Kyoani. No one talks about individual talent on /a/.

>>146678619

Looks extremely good to be honest. Very memorable.

Looks extremely terrible to be honest. I've already forgotten.

>>146679876

>>146679994
The anime is shit but it still sold undeservedly well.

>>146680124

You realize that Jin fucked up his own anime right. Shinbo had no idea wtf the story was so he told Jin to script it

>>146670194
Looks normal like Arakawa under the bridge. So okay, i guess.

>>146680124
Dont let the okish sales misguide you. It sold 'well' because the bd prices were cheap as fuck and came bundled with the songs.

>>146679994
Kakerou Daze?

>>146680124
>4000 BDs
>well
Under Sunrise or Deen it would've sold at least 25k. Shaft shat on Mekaku.

>>146679094
>Fun times ahead when both end up flopping
Sangatsu is airing on NHK so every sales thread Shaftfags will just spam that sales dont matter

>>146670194
>A bit low budgeted but it doesnt really show.
If you can tell that from previews, it does show.

Still, this is finally a different Shaft show that doesn't try to copy Monogatari's style so I might actually give it a try, not that I have high hopes.

>>146680124
>>146680349
the BD also costed 3k yen each so its basically half the actually disc amount compared to usual, not to mention they had to cram it with so many extras just to cover it up

>>146679812
>It will also air at 11pm, one of the ahitty slots past primetime
After what happened with Tiger & Bunny and Jojo I wouldn't assume a show would sell like shit because of its timeslot.

>¥279.0

Its almost as if people ignore basic economics for the sake of numbers.

>>146680462
And Hibike is endorsed by Yamaha so sales matter even less there but hey Salesfags are going to Salesfag.

>>146680614
Worst part about Salesfag is that they just assume how much things coasts like budget and ect.

>>146680695
costs*

>>146680462
Why should they? Shaft is just a contractor. Flop or success it won't matter to them at all, they're not making or losing any extra money from this.

>>146680813
Shh logic doesnt work here. Just baits.

>>146680813
Flops do matter though. If a studio has a big flop record they get shitty deals or stop getting projects altogether. Sunrise recently went back to originals because they flopped so hard on anything else. Madhouse is getting the short end of the stick because they can't sell shows for shit. Shaft will get ignored if they continue their flop record.

>>146680813
by that logic 90% of all anime sales dont matter since the only non-contracted people are Kyoani, Sunrise and Toei yet we still have studio wars every season

>>146681418
Sales really dont matter. Most of the time every anime breaks even due to rereleases, rebroadcasting, merchs, ect. People just look at sales and thing the anime industry is in peril. Consider the fact we get more anime per season every year, it should indicate there is more then just disc.

>>146681364
Flops matter from a studio by studio basis. Something that flops for Aniplex wont hurt as much as a smaller production studio. Kyoani has had sub-par sales and made more of a profit than Shaft did with the Gatari series.

People need to stop looking at one factor and think thats the end all be all.

>>146681364
A few flops won't tarnish SHAFT's reputation, specially after making 2 of the most successful late night franchises of the century. The name alone warranties at least some sales. They also have industry veterans with lots of connections working with them.

The fact that Nintendo was OK with them doing the PV for Palutena, which was fucking garbage by the way, tells you enough.

Same applies to other big studios, only second and third rate studios that haven't made anything special like TYO or Bee Train can get their shit pushed and their name destroyed in if they make consecutive flops

>>146681616
Aniplex really cares about Anisales and music sales though. They don't get revenue from anywhere else according to their producers so they kinda need those multimedia sales because they don't get a cut from the increase source material sales get after an anime airs.
>>146681875
That argument doesn't hold up when you can see that their glory days are past them. Sunrise was on the brink of being broke despite selling Gundam by the bucket loads a decade prior. Same can be said for Madhouse who was nearly bankrupt despite selling a fuckton of DVDs 5 years prior. Shaft hasn't had a good performer sales wise other than Madoka since Gatari started and they worked on a shit ton of projects.

>>146682151
Look at SL. They sell virtually nothing and their biggest hits don't even crack the 10k mark. They are doing more well than most studios out there. You need to stop comparing 1 studios business model to another.

That poor studio wars baiting.

>>146682151
>Shaft hasn't had a good performer sales wise other than Madoka since Gatari started and they worked on a shit ton of projects.

This is wrong.
