How much value do you put into visual direction?

>there are people who genuinely prefer the newer version of HxH

A lot, that's why '11 was shit.

>>146980476
Right genuinely looks better and less cluttered.

I miss anime made with paper instead of Adobe Flash, you can feel the details and the depth.

I was always told to avoid the old version of hxH

Jesus Christ why? It looks really good

>>146980476
kys 2011 is better in virtually all aspects in comparison to original

Making these false flagging threads should be a bannable offense.

Why do the hands swap in both?

>>146980620
Paper was also responsible for things like https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gf1PtgIds4I

FTFY

You can make any shitty anime look good with a few cherry picked shots and call it "brilliant visual direction."

>>146980548
Left looks much more detailed and interesting

None. I'm blind.

What do you think Oishi will work on once Kizu is done?

>>146980620
A lot of the "texture" is from the film.

the visual not so much but the OST is the most valuable for me.

the OSTs in hxh were just perfect

>>146980620
Most animators still draw on paper though.
What you mean are cels.

Save for a few scenes like the one in the OP, it's a pretty subpar adaptation, especially since it completely butchered the manga; it's really nowhere near as consistent as the 2011 version

There's definitely something wrong Killua's face in the 1999 version.

It's KyoAnifag wankfests and bait threads

Fucking this. People prefer the 1999 version usually out of nostalgia or because they like grimdark shit.

Yeah man, Hanayamata is what digital coloring in animation SHOULD look like.

Here we go again

>>146981133
Don't just believe some random guys on /a/. Form your own opinion.

>>146981209
Hanayamata is not what digital anime should look like, it's just ishizuka being ishizuka. and that brownish blurry linework that turns the whole shape into a lifeless pastiche is definitely not what animation should aspire to be.

>>146981242
>I don't like things that are different.
Goodbye, I will not reply to you again.

>There are people who are overly nostalgic over a version which had lots of filler, some of which was horrible

They both have their good points. Both are definitely above average. If you hate either, you are retarded.

>>146981276
>i don't know what i'm talking about
sure

It's certainly a lot more important than forced animation

Is it an age thing?

1999 is so much superior. How can you argue otherwise?

>>146981374
SHAFT is too god.

What's even going on in the pic?

I never read the series.

>>146981374
Why did you pick all the boring shots?

>>146981133
Yeah most people that prefer the 1999 version nitpick the same exact scenes every single time and a majority of the scenes come from the first arc. Most people can agree that the 2011 version of first arc + the first episode (for skipping kite) was a trainwreck

But other than that, the only legitimate complaint is that the OST utilized terribly. They use their better track not enough, and too many of the tracks are played way too often. Someone will cough the puppeteer starts playing.

>>146981281

I actually kind of liked a bit of the filler as someone who switched from the 1999 version to 2011. Made you grow more attached to the characters (Ponzu and Pokkle) who didn't get that much development which made what happened in the chimera ant arc all the much worse.

>>146981374
so what's next for Oishi after he's done with Kizu

>>146981435

Nen stuff?
I dunno, the series is stupid.

>>there are people who genuinely prefer the newer version of HxH
I prefer the newer version because the characters stayed true to ther manga selves -especially Gon- instead of the story turning into a Kurapika fanfiction because the director wanted to bone her

Maybe he'll take over on Monogatari?

>>146981209
I'm not fond of Ishizuka's tendency to use purple lighting and bloom. Her upcoming show also has weird colours.

>>146981209
What's with all that fucking bloom?

None. I'm blind.

>>146980433
I depend on it alot to get to where I need to go. I can't imagine how blind people go without it.

I feel sorry for the people that sat through the entirety of Mekaku City Actors.

Just because it has a wacky face doesn't mean it's good, shaft shitter.

Yes.

It doesn't have a wacky face.

>>146982746
It's still shit.

>>146982945
Why?

>>146982581
Shaft has some REALLY bad directors

>>146983062
Because the flat lighting of her face does not fit at all, she looks like a sticker, she looks like she's closer to the camera than him. That, plus the whole framing of the shot is bad. Hanekawa cuts right at the neck, making her look like a floating head, and Araragi cuts right at the middle of the face, and right at the middle of the chest, which gives him no presence, it looks like he's an irrelevant character walking by that you're not even supposed to acknowledge.

For me it goes

1. Animation quality
2. Art Direction/Character Design
3. Plot
4. Music
5. Fanservice/PLOT

>>146983645
I digress.

1. Characterization
2. Art Direction/Character Design
3. Plot
4. Animation Quality
5. Music

>>146983645
1. Atmosphere (animation quality and music/sound play into this)
2. Characterization
3. Character designs
4. Plot
5. Character development

>>146983645
I agree with this to an extent. E.G. I'll never watch K-on, despite it looking good in motion, because the girls look like aliens, but I watched all of Punch Line because the 3D backgrounds were really good looking.

>>146983645
I've tried making rankings like this before, but I just can't do it. I tend to like shows based on what they're good at, rather than some kind of weighed average of everything. Some shows I like just because the animation and style are great, and others I like mostly because of the plot. Etc. etc.

>>146983721
Literally a pleb.

>>146983857
If I wanted a good story I'd read a book, m8.

>>146983892
If I wanted good animation I'd watch western cartoons.

>>146984715
You mean American. And even then, most of those are animated like shit outside of theatrical cartoons.

Can't believe we're talking about visual direction and nobody's mentioned Rie Matsumoto yet. Kyousogiga and Kekkai Sensen are masterpieces of it.

>>146984715
Too bad there's barely any good animation in modern 2D cartoons.

I don't think she's fit for directing series. Also, I see her as a poorer Sayo Yamamoto, she doesn't have a very strong visual indentity.

>>146984905
Animation quality can play into atmosphere. You can't have a serious tone if the animation is laughably bad, it's immersion breaking.

>>146985514
>You can't have a serious tone if the animation is laughably bad, it's immersion breaking.
This is the problem I had with Aria. The animation wasn't bad, but very dated compared to modern SoLs and I found it hard to feel immersed.
I haven't made it to Origination yet though

>>146985514
Not him, but I partially agree.
Atmosphere is basically a "byproduct" of all the other elements (animation, sound, music, characters behavior, world construction, general direction, etc) combined. If one of these elements is weak, the final atmosphere will be weaker, but it doesn't necessarily it will be bad, if the all the other elements make up for it, something good can come out of it.

I just finished Madoka for the first time and I thought the art style in it was great.

>>146986010
That's because it is. Especially Gekidan Inu Curry's work, which is always fantastic.

>>146986010
The art style was the worst part though.

>>146986113
Bad taste alert! Bad taste alert!

How do I make those fucking cinegrids without wasting 1000 hours in Paint?
