She couldn't even beat Shinkai with the KyoAni brand name. She sucks.

>>147680400
KyoAni doesn't have a "brand name" except among otaku and weebs. Shinkai has been heralded as the next Miyazaki since he made Beyond the Clouds.

>>147680400
Kyoani is a obscure, small, independent studio. They can't beat Shinkai but that's okay.

>>147680740
>No, that's Hosoda.

You're a newfag. Both have been named in Japanese press as "the next Mityazaki" at one point or other in their careers. It has been a marketing ploy in both cases. My point was that Shinkai is a lot more mainstream than KyoAni, and always has been.

>>147681477
She seems really shallow and answered a lot of questions with "It looked cool" and stroking Ishihara's ego.

Kyoani aside she's likely the best director right now, making her something akin to the saviour of anime in general.

>>147679001
What makes you think that? The PV didn't seem like it'd be anything more than Kyoukai no Kanata tier (aka bad).

>>147681570
You're so new and full of shit it hurts. Shinkai wasn't 'mainstream' until Kimi, his last movie did worse than the Chunibyo recap.

>>147681363
She comes across as non-critical/non-analytical. Very few directors are. In fact, very few artists are analytical. It's all about "feeling" and intuition.

Takahata Isao and Mamoru Oshii are the exceptions that prove the rule.

>>147681787
What's been translated of the source material is good, the prose is above any of their LNs and LNs in general, plus the CM looks promising and it has a unique setting with an adult protagonist.

>>147681935
I guess I don't equate "well at least it's not high school girls" with good. What's the setting, exactly? Some kind of anachronistic Victorian thing?

>>147681794
>Shinkai wasn't 'mainstream' until Kimi
You meant to say, perhaps, that he wasn't commercially successful. Because he has been, like I already pointed out, a mainstream (i.e. non-otaku) director since Beyond the Clouds. One of The disc extras have an interview with one of the actors who points out how Shinkai is, surprisingly, successful with people who don't normally watch anime. His films have made the rounds in various film festivals.

You have no idea what you're talking about. Here you go, a 2007 article in mainstream press:

http://www.japantimes.co.jp/culture/2007/03/30/films/film-reviews/byosoku-5-centimeters/#.V-b_KJmcEjY

>But Shinkai, who has been hailed as the “next Miyazaki” since the 2002 release of “Hoshi no Koe (Voices of a Distant Star)” — an awarding-winning, best-selling sci-fi short he created entirely himself on a Mac — is an extraordinary talent.

If you can read moon there are even older articles in mainstream talking about Shinkai as Miyazaki's successor.

>>147682393
Please stop

>>147681820
Interesting. Would you include Ryosuke Takahashi in the short list of analytical directors?

>>147682828
I haven't watched/read any interview with him, so I don't know. His anime being full of grit and realism need not be due to an analytical approach to narrative building. Maybe he makes those kind of stories because he has a thing for those kind of stories.

The reason why I say Oshii or Takahata are analytical is not because of what kinds of stories they create, but because they can explain in technical detail why they make certain creative choices. They have a reason for almost every thing they do beyond "it felt right to do it that way".

>>147682828
>>147683170
Actually, I think do. No, Takahashi is almost definitely not analytically inclined. He wouldn't have made a cluster-fuck like Gasaraki if he were.

By comparison, with Oshii, even his most absurd, way out there works like Gosenzosama Babanzai or Urusei Yatsura are very, very coherent. The same is true of Takahata's work in anime like Jarinko Chie or Gauche the Cellist.

You're right that Hosoda was much more mainstream than Shinkai until this, but the media still had branded Shinkai as the next Miyazaki. It had just been ages since they did it, and he hadn't had his mainstream breakthrough yet, so he was fading. And then he got it.

>>147687742

>>147686360
Yes.

>>147687836
There's only Yamada. Hosoda too but he needs a good scriptwriter.

>>147687836
Shinkai already took the spot of Ghibli, we don't really need more similar movies. What we need is another Satoshi Kon and another Mamoru Oshii.

>>147688109
I've never liked Hosoda. The way I see it, there's:
- Yamada
- Hara if he can stay Miss Hokusai quality or above
- Katabuchi if his new one is more Arete than Miracle
- based Science Saru with three films in the works

>>147688134
>Shinkai already took the spot of Ghibli
That doesn't really make any sense, and I don't think I would agree with any rationalization of it besides "they make money" which who really cares about anyways?

Addendum, Takahashi and Koike are doing well with Shin-chan and Lupin at the moment too.

>>147688228
Ghibli movies were personal stories, with some romance and some supernatural bullshit. Shinkai is kind of the same.

Yamada is very similar but without the magic and worse.

We need another Kon for more mature looking shit and Oshii for Sci-Fi kino.

>>147688259
Ikuhara more like. Shame he didn't use Sailor Moon to kick start a film career. Adolescence of Utena was beautiful.

In the way that she's a fucking late night anime director. She's irrelevant as far as mainstream appeal go, the same mainstream appeal that Oshii, Kon or Miyazaki and Takahata achieved.

She isn't even the most successful late night anime director, that tittle goes to Anno and Tatsuya Oishi more recently.

>Shinkai is also more than just sales
Not really.
Sure his movies looked pretty, but they were pretty lacking in substance and grew stale the longer they went on. I haven't watched KnNh yet, but up until now my favorites out of his works were his shorter things like Hoshi no Koe and She and her Cat.

>even Japan agrees.

>>147696417
Prove it.

>>147696469
Because Yamada is listed as the series director.

>>147696539
That's not proof in the slightest. I've read the interviews, the show is both of theirs.

>>147688228
There's also Yonebayashi, who I think improved a lot between Arrietty and Marnie and could be really good depending on what he does now that he's out of Ghibli. And it's not like every good movie has to come from the same prolific/consistently-good directors, either - sometimes people just have good days, or someone who doesn't do movies much branches out, etc. I don't think we're in any sort of serious drought, honestly.

Gonna agree with most of your shit but I liked Amagi Brilliant Park. I definitely felt like Hibike was the new high for Kyoani in terms of direction though.

You also list Nichijou as a good non-Yamada and that was also one of their top anime. So basically Yamada doesn't matter that much overall?

>>147696605
We've been in a resurgence of good anime films since 2013 but before that was definitely what I'd call a drought. Yonebayashi is someone I need to revisit.

>>147696555
Both Hibike and Nichijou are cases where Ishihara gives Yamada/Ishidate and the episode directors lots of freedom. Eupho specifically follows Yamada's aesthetic rulebook and she checks out all the storyboards and layouts. Yamada was more involved in the animation process whereas Ishihara was more involved on the business side.

His creative input is still there, and I don't see any good reason to believe anything other than that since you're not doing any proving.

I remember /a/ was shitting on it before everyone cared about Yamada and pretended to love everything she does. Dont get me wrong her direction was strong on it but the anime itself is flat out shit.

>>147697135
If you average up every anime ever, the result is shit. Being above that average doesn't mean you're not shit. That's what average means.

Not him, but you're still going to need to give some proof on any of that. Sure the episodes Yamada directed feel distinctly her, but the rest were pretty void of her mark. And she herself described her job in Eupho's staff commentary as being Ishihara's assistant.

The series had the best tv episode of the 2010s. I'm sorry that /a/ shitposting about Tamako not being Keion S3 blinded you but the series was legit good and that was before I even cared about credits.

That would be Ping Pong.

Its a bad show. Even the kyoani cult in japan didnt want to buy it and they eat up anything.

Yeah, no. Episode 9 of Tamako Market is the best thing on TV this decade. Nothing compares really and I watch most of everything that comes out.

Its funny how people think Yamada is good when Takemoto Yasuhiro made the last good kyoani tv series.

>>147697532
You're wrong.

Its sad that people have to settle for Eupho since kyoani has been in a crippling state. 2013 being the worst year ever for them.

>>147697232
Yamada: There was also the question of “which one of us should be director?” For me personally, I wanted to be in a position where I would be able to concentrate and put my whole effort into making the story. As a director, you have to be concerned about everything in a production and there’s a lot of jobs outside the work itself, so it would be difficult for me to dig into the nooks and crannies of the story while doing all of that.
Ishihara: Yes, but you’re also thinking “what would other directors do in this situation?” as well. Surprisingly, there’s only a few things that a TV anime director does. You work up to the storyboard check, and well, you do say “show me this cut” when each cut is completed, but that’s the limit of what you do. With that in mind, this show appeared to be one that you had to keep an eye on it to the farthest nook….wouldn’t you say?
Yamada: That’d be right. This work would have a lot of parts that you wouldn’t be able to help with if you were just a director.
Ishihara: You wouldn’t be able to go into details as much either.
Yamada: Right. So I talked to Ishihara-san and the producers and was given the role of series director for the show.
Oguro: Fundamentally, how did you divide the work?
Ishihara: Yamada would look at the various detailed points.
Yamada: As I looked over the entire series progression as a whole, I’d work on the subtleties of each character’s emotions and made sure that progressed logically so to speak. While I was working on that, I gradually understood the role of series director.
Oguro: Did you two participate in the scenario meetings?
Yamada: Yes.
Ishihara: We did. But Yamada would check the storyboards before I did. I’d look at them after she did. It was that kind of split. Also, we first said that I would go to the voice recording and Yamada would stay at Kyoto and check the layouts and such. (laughs)

>>147697563
You're free to have another opinion but I'm pretty sure that if you've watched Tamako you'd understand my point of view.
>>147697593
Good storyboards don't make a good episode. You've chosen the worst sounding episode so I'm going with you baiting.

>>147697618
Cmon man I really love kyoani. But stop this bullshit. You are really getting me mad. Hyouka was good but the story was so bland and lack luster. The yuribait was near canon at some points. While it made for good scenes it doesnt work when both character have their own love interest.

You know Hyouka is their best work. The visual directions to story everything worked well. Eupho is only good because compared to everything else they made during that time it looked like a diamond in the rough.

>>147697539
Eupho is very good.

>>147697618
But Hyouka is clearly better.

>>147697712
I don't even love Kyoani, I like good shows. Hyouka's cool. Eupho's better in every way, in my eyes.

>>147697539
Takemoto hasn't made anything good since Hyouka.

>>147687863
You are correct.

This. Surprised its actually very decent after reading the first part of LN. Looking really forward for it - and it`ll not just be everyday drama, the later part has loli rape, murder and disfigurement, war

>>147679765
I did, a lot. But postfactum. Its kind of work that comes together when you get the story fully. Ishidate truly is talented director and did his best there.

So in hindsight its one of best KyoAni stories executions and characters. However in hindsight - watching it as it aired wasnt the best experience. But the whole story comming together - OAV, TV and movies: puts it in different light.

Just to give a clue, at begining you dont and cant understand the OP until you watched the whole story

Not him - but Hibike is tandem of Yamada and Ishihara working on it together, no one is in superior role. Yamada mostly having main decisions about the key story points, Ishihara doing storyboards, lots of actual episode supervision etc. Yamada is slightly superior, Ishihara does lot more actual work - but both coordinate with each other: their positions are nominal,there essentially are two directors to the show. Now given that at same time, especially S2 Yamada was busy with Koe no Katachi - Hibike is genuinely "ishihara" show with Yamada influence.

Read the interviews.

Does Ishihara have any distinct directing traits like Yamada?

>>147701202
In the Eupho interviews they talk about directorial preferences, like lenses they like and types of shots. Very good read if you haven't already.

Everything except the "independent" part is false. KyoAni is probably the most known mainstream and loved in industry - doesnt mean mainstream follows it urgently, but everyone aware of it.

Its also by all means one of the biggest currently existing studios staff wise after Sunrise. It has the highest number of permanent employes, over 100 - while most other studios are times less and rely exclusively on outsourcing and freeelancers.

You're a mathematically illiterate idiot. Average depends on input. The average of 1, 2 and 3 is 2. The average of 7, 8, and 9 is 8. 4 is above the first average but still lower than the second average.

If you take the average of shit series, being above average in that case need not mean not being shit.

Honestly Yamada is the biggest reason why Kyoani is my favorite studio. I like all of Kyoani's works (minus Keyshit) but if it weren't for her, it would probably be Sunrise or something. Literally all of her works are some of my favorite anime (with the exception of Hibike because it was only half Yamada).

Koe no Katachi is going to be GOAT though. It even has my favorite scriptwriter.

Ishihara's OPs are all completely identical and he likes the first scene of his shows to be a black screen with some text on it. He's also the guy responsible for all the funny faces in Euphonium thanks to him being competent at drawing.

He likes fanservice and ecchi. Yamada and other milfs in KyoAni do not let him do it. He bitterly envies Takemoto for Takemono being able to make ecchi jokes and draw boobs in Amagi.
