I don't like "Sakuga" as a label.

I'm a fan of animation, but I never did see the need to use a Japanese umbrella term I don't even really know the meaning of over simply describing the facets of animation I like -- Such as weight, anticipation, timing, arcs of movement, and rhythm, and appreciating the work as a whole.

You can do both you know. Appreciate anime that has been made well and enjoy anime that is just plain fun. Lots of sakugafags love thinks like Teekyuu and Tesabu and gdgd fairies even though those are awful in terms of animation.
>>
I cant complain about animation, there are some great bits there in the episode.

However the director and whoever storyborded and cut it is unproffessional as hack. Transition between scenes is horrible, huge jumps in quality/style from one scene to another within seconds, good animated scenes not always used to best impact, since the show wastes seconds destroying the pace or interchanges good active scenes with static. All begining Cocona slow scenes are boring as fuck and without any purpose.

Who though its good idea to let animator without ANY directional experience whatsoever direct the show?
>>
>>148204419
>>
>>148204468
>All begining Cocona slow scenes are boring as fuck and without any purpose.
What, that was pretty clearly deliberately done in order to setup how dull and depressing her life is before Papika shows up and then it suddenly becomes an adventure because of her. It is almost like you pay no attention at all to miss something that obvious.

Is this some young animators first animation project? Since it looks amateurish as fuck.

You need talent to even be able to convey such thing as how dull and empty one life is. Here however, it was just tedious.

hey guys just thought I'd drop in to say this show fucking sucks and youre all idiots if you like it

>>148204448
The problem is that most of them (or at least the most vocal part of them) seems to completely despise anything that doesn't satisfy their ridiculously high standards. They literally can't enjoy anime that doesn't have better than movie tier budget.
I agree that good animation can make anything more enjoyable, but if that's all you watch anime for then you're doing it wrong.

>>148204532
The director is a new director, he worked as an episode director on space dandy but has previous stuck to animation. The animation staff themselves will be varied in experience some people credited on the episode like Toshiyuki Inoue have been in the industry for years working on films like Akira and Ghost in the Shell previously. Others are less experineced but well known younger animators like Shin Enokido who did this scene >>148203490 which was one of the most notable of the episode and has previously worked on well animated shows like Yozakura Quartet and Yatterman until it fell apart.

She already said no at the end of the episode, and then Cocona was kidnapped. Her smile is gone for good.
>>
>>148204589
I think it was conveyed pretty well, I wasn't bored one minute of the episode. Might just be you to be honest.

>>148204605
I don't think that is true to be honest. Unless your only interaction with people who care about animation is on /a/ and then they are probably just shitposting.
>>
>>148203383
Anyone who claims to be a "sakuga fan" just watches things on sakugabooru and wanks off to some animator they know.
Most of them know nothing about actual animation techniques and what makes a good animation.

>>148204640
Here's hoping it dies down after the first few weeks. Most shitters don't stick around past episode three, even the ones who actually watch the show and dont like it will drop it
>>
>>148204640
The first episode just came out, this was being hyped for a long time and it's still being lauded as a sakugafest, so it's a huge target for shitposters. Don't worry, they'll probably all leave in a few episodes.
>>
>>148204642
Except Kyousogiga had different theming and never actually wanted to represent on screen what this one tried. Neither TV nor ONA.
I have no idea from where you got this comparison.
>>
>>148204776
And still they shit on things like FSN UBW
>>
>>148204622
I said weight and timing were descriptive terms to facets of animation. I never laid out a continuum for you to predict my taste, and your actual post betrays my love for surrealism -- which again, you couldn't have known because I never made it clear.

You contributed nothing, and you continue to contribute nothing.

Perhaps return to the source your misunderstanding rather than letting yourself drift away on what you "think you know"? I submitted the uselessness of the label sakuga. Now I will also purport the low intelligence and broken reasoning skills of those who use it.

Nothing in this episode "worked" or even "clicked together". Its a complete mess of different disjointed parts, not being to come together even in supposed action scenes.

I woudnt even call it a proper show - a showcase of some fancy animation, but even it is not put together well: the bits on themselves, look impressive, but put togethere are disjointed, different tempo, wildly differing in quality and not presenting a story well.

Just look at it.

>>148205397
/a/ hates everything that excells and does a great job.
/a/ loves medicority, that's why the most popular shows here are bland isekai garbage.
Anything that stands out in a positive way makes those kind of /a/nons insecure about their own medicority, so they stick to bland, boring shit.
They are also the most vocal about people not being allowed to enjoy stuff they personally dont like for their own psychotic reasons.

/a/ has a terrible track record when it comes to taste
>>
>>148204776
I studied classic animation, trying to get into 3D at the momement. I'm pretty bad and not familiar with lots of names, but I do enjoy sakuga discussions quite a lot. Sakugabooru is plenty of inspiration.

Didn't he basically do most of the work for a Space Dandy episode by himself?
>>
>>148205657
There are a lot of better places to read, talk and think about animation. Sakugabooru is mostly a bunch of circlejerkers as for most of the sakuga community.
>>
Okay so I just started this and it's absolutely fucking gorgeous.

Rumor has it that Mitsuo Iso is working on this under a penname. I would assume that's either very true, or the people doing this are absolutely brilliant.

Some of the action is breathtaking, and the girls are so incredibly sexy.
>>
>>148205742
Yeah, wrote it, directed it, and did all the key animation. Really talented and dedicated guy.
>>
>>148205651
I actually saw an anon say the other day "boring is better than annoying" which goes to show you that the average mentality of anons here is that something shouldn't stand out, because if it stands out it might not be perfect.

It's kind of ironic that a shitty japanese mentality would become prevalent on /a/.

So was the slug monster part a Nausica tribute?
>>
>>148205139
Dandy also aired simultaneously on Toonami (with a dub on top of that) and didn't have cute girls as the main character, so it attracted a gigantic number of normalfags. The same kind of person who's repulsed by a show focused on cute girls like this.
>>
>>148204468

For the who still cant grasp the core of complaint about this, theres a simple example

Yatterman Night ep1 - good directed, good animated, good animation consistency

Kill la kill ep 1 - good direction, bad animation, good animation and artstyle consistency

Flip Floppers ep 1 - horribly directed, good animated, bad animation and artstyle consistency

There are plenty of animators that became directors. Doesnt mean every animator is ready to become one. Most gain lots of experience - storyboarding, directing, assisting and superwising before they are even let near serious project themselves.

Sakugabooru and its guys is really too concerned about erm I don't know what but the best term to describe'em would be circlejerk, too much for my taste at least even if there're good discussions once in a while.

>>148205991
I don't really see any of those complaints in the show.
>>
>>148205139
People don't care about that kind of shit back then. The mindset of the "hardcore" anime watcher was studio dicksucking. Knowing which was which was the thing that made them "better" than "entry level" watchers, spouting buzzwords and the like.

Now that everyone on /a/ and their mothers know which studio is which, what their quirks and habits are, the poser "hardcore" watchers are mouthing off about sakuga now. Notice how many buzzwords are used more when talking about sakuga recently compared to a few years back, when there discussion on it was seldom.

The problem with the sakugabooru guys is they are all way too concerned about fitting in and being cool by liking the show chosen by the most popular members as the best of the season that none of them are willing to voice another opinion for fear of being mocked or ousted. So yeah it just ends up a bunch of people all circlejerking over the same shit each season to try to impress upon each other how much they know about animation.

What? People were talking about this shit on anipages and production ig forum ages ago. It is just that only recently people on /a/ have started talking about it as much. /a/ just didn't represent the "hardcore" community back then and for the most part it doesn't now, just knowing about and appreciating animators has become more mainstream.

By people, I meant the mainstream of course.

Also, "hardcore" was in brackets. There has always been the legit people of course, but by that I meant the posers who talk shit here to big themselves up, now that appreciating animators are getting into the mainstream anime fandom, as you said. The kind of attitude you'd find on certain sites.

I don't know, the problem is like in any arts that there are different levels of appreciation. The more knowledgeable people about cinema always act high and mighty and the pleb consider them as snob, as they don't really understand their point of view. The cinephiles, so to say, also consider the plebs to have shit taste (to say the truth, even if they don't tell it that way).

Same thing is emerging for animation I guess, it was always a kind of niche, professional understanding of things, but now with the sakuga highlights in the community people are starting to talk like they know their shit... when they have a one-sided views on things. The truth is, there's plenty of valid opinions but you shouldn't take yours for the superior one. I know it's hard though.

>>
>>148206937
Well if you do a Ctrl+F for director you can see that the majority of mentions are right at the start when people were concerned about the director being relatively inexperienced, just like weeks before airing. I suspect at least some of the people hating on the direction now are just picking on those critcisms. In my opinion the direction wasn't stellar or inspirational or brilliant and some breakthrough new style but it was competent and served its purpose.

The worst thing is that Cocona didn't question it enough, although she seemed like the exploring type from how she decided to go into the one storage area, so it could be rationalized.
The show is supposed to be silly, obviously so you can't expect the characters to act realistically, it'll be a good watch regardless.

Yeah but those people don't care. They care but don't care.

Some people are getting fascinated by animation with sakuga, and that's good, but some people just like to watch.

Those watchers care less than the wannabe makers (born from the hype, or before).

The makers are making a big deal out of it, when the watchers appreciate it on a more superficial level I guess, there's less nuance to their appreciation.

>>
>>148207551
It wasn't as good as Yuri, but it was probably better than the other 4/5 of the other shows I've watched.
>>
So lets just summ it up:
Its a show with great potential.
It has parts with great animation (also truly great bits are rare, and big part of them in episode were from PV already)
It has parts with poor animation.
It is not well directed.
The music is ok.
The story is intriguing, but so far presentation is a mess, though that ups the intrigue a bit.
The characters are nice.
The artstyle of backgrounds is great.
The ED is best of the season.
The show is not really original nor "refreshing", its secondary to similar works (which isnt a bad thing) and yet to present its own originality
The pace is mess (both too slow and too fast)
The show is enjoyable to different degre depending on expectations and personal preferences
Critizism of the show does not mean the show is shit
>>
>>148207484
When the Keijo episode came out people were saying it was awful.
And people shitposting here will usually avoid obviously "bad" shows (I haven't watched Keijo but it actually looks fun so I won't judge people for it, still won't watch though), they for those with some potential and/or popularity and just nitpick.

Not that guy, but the only reason I'm putting this over Yuri is since I could never get the hype of figure skating. Personal top 5 right now would be Flip/Yuri/BBK/To be Hero/Tiger Mask.

>It has parts with poor animation.
Didn't notice any outright bad animation in the context of anime generally, there was animation you would expect from any normal show though in the less important parts.
>It is not well directed.
I think the direction was perfectly competent although far from outstanding.
>so far presentation is a mess
Disagree. I think the way the story was presented was simple and straightforward.
>The pace is mes
The pacing was deliberately varied to good effect.

That's all I have got to disagree with there. I don't think I can argue it was particularly original.

That was a pleasant experience. Seems like one of those shows were shit will go down pretty hard around ep 6-8 though.

This is so vain excuse, used every single time.

/a/ doesnt "hate" cool stuff or hyped show. Popular shows get a lot of shitposting, but despite that /a/ usually is pretty solid about enjoying them despite it: be it Madoka, KlK, Hibike, Yuri on Ice, ReZero, whatever works that actually gain traction despite the shitposting (and this goes as far as Index, with people claiming their "insert name" generic shows arent popular and /a/ hates on popular stuff when /a/ was all over generic stuff like Index or IS)

So, no, the show is by no means in category "so good /a/ shits on it" - that would be Yuri on Ice this season. The show is in category "hyped but meh so far with zealout fanbase" - like Kabaneri, Rolling Girls, Mekakushi etc.
>>
Argue all you want, this show is a lot of fun to watch. The colorfulness and music help drive home the fantasy aspect of the show and I'm looking forward to the next episode.

Like so many shows that have gone before it, being a great show attracts more shitposters than anything else.

>>
It's a promising start. The art is very consistent and the designs are sexy, especially Papika's outfit.

The story felt pretty aimless for a first episode though, maybe it's not a great choice to have Cocona the only one that's not an air head.

I've seen a shitton of people complaining about sakugafags in this thread, but almost no actual sakugafags.

>It tries to be Space Dandy
You mean that this is the work of a webgen animator? That isn't something exclusive to Space Dandy you know. You can find the same style of animation in plenty of other shows. Birdy Decode, Yozakura Quartet, Yoru no Yatterman for example. There is probably a good chance that animator worked on Space Dandy even.
>>
>>148208076
This is the true reason. A beautiful show with an inspiring message will always attract ire from (((people))) who wish to destroy beauty and ruin the experience for others.

You're both off the mark.

"Sakuga" is merely a label that helps you search for shit. When you use it as a term on /a/ (even to say "sakugafag"), you are participating in the culture born from it, which is being thoroughly rejected as pointless drivel.

Want to talk about animation? Describe it with real language. Want to look up cuts from Japanese animators? Search "Sakuga" in appropriate engines.

Oh right. People are bound to argue when people are calling something they think is good bad regardless of who they are and the subject. If people weren't arguing about animation they would be arguing about the story or the direction. The only reason it is centred around animation is because people had expectations for the animation. It isn't just sakugafags who care about animation and you can tell that by how ignorant some of the comments are in this thread.

As far as your point: Why would you want to describe the western sakuga community around sakugabooru? You think you can get away with that? Do you honestly think it's acceptable to post drama from MAL/ANN/Reddit here?

It's because they actually have stable positions and get paid a wage. Every other studio basically hires people per frame/page and have mostly freelancers per project instead of regular reoccurring staff who work on multiple projects.

Probably been here since before you knew 4chan existed to be honest. I am just telling you what people mean when they say that because you are either actually oblivious or pretending to be. They are referring to a group of people in the western anime community who place a higher value on animation in shows, production and knowing animators names and styles. People use it as a term like "yurifags" or "fujoshits".

It is pretty common thing to do as a way to characterise a group of people with particular interests. Is your problem that the term sakuga has been appropriated into a shorthand descriptor for a certain type of anime fan?

>>148209496
Favourite first episode of the season, lots of potential. Like the relationship between the main characters. The story seems like it will be interesting when they get into it. The colours were nice and the background art was good. The character designs are interesting. There was some nice animation sprinkled through out as well. I don't really have anything bad to say about it so far.

>>148209584
This post explained it pretty well
>>148207214
I think it was fairly easy to follow, you just purposefully were not told much about what things mean. It helps to create a similar feeling to the that which the blue MC must be feeling going from her dull, depressing life into an amazing adventure of magic she didn't even know existed. Actually if I had to fault the show on one thing it might be that she wasn't quite shocked enough by the fact that she was suddenly in another dimension with a magical crazy girl being chased by monsters and flying on a surf board.

Guys it's not that fucking complicated. This is clearly a documentary about autism and how those suffering from autism view reality.

Cocona is told she can be anything and go to ANY school (obviously not, she's autistic). She finally makes ONE friend and they go on imaginary adventures together, when in reality they never leave the confines of their school.

It's so fucking obvious.

what do exposition even mean in that context? explaining things with words?

explaining things like the characters are giving a lecture to the viewer

you know, what happens in almost every fiction every with setting mechanics/any sort of planned stuff. fags like to pretend to be better than they are by saying "man it's so dull, show don't tell!!! ;)" but they actually desperately need things to be said to them in words because their ability to read visual information is close to zero

>>148209828
Sloppy exposition in anime usually takes the form of the anime character explaining their motivations or their world usually in words, during long dialouge scenes that feel very unnatural and are obviously just put there for the viewer. Especially annoying is when the anime character would clearly have to already know that about their world. For example they explain how a club works to all the members even though there is a new member just "to recap the rule" or something, when clearly it is entirely for the benefit or the viewer because they couldn't be bothered to be creative enough to try to find a way to explain that stuff in a more organic less forced feeling way through the story itself.

The good animation is lovely and all but man sakugaidiots are so fucking annoying. You guys don't care about anime (which, you know, the point of it is a story that is inhabited by characters), all you care about is muh fluid animation cuts.

It seems more like you are complaining that they didn't explain how the entire world worked to you in the first episode.

As a artist/creator and not as a spectator/consumer.

I mean, you don't need to actually draw yourself and wanting to animate, but if you want to have a critical approach on animation (when you say you care about animation), you don't just watch it like the last blockbuster movie hopefully.
>>
>>148210162
I don't think many of the sakugafags as he is describing them actually even exist though. Most people that are into "sakuga" are into it because they love anime and wanted to learn more. Often dropping shows and just watching the webm/MADs if the show itself is shit in their opinion.

>>
>>148204622
Animation is a fairly objective thing in that movement and your perception of it in real is completely objective.
There's a limit to experimental work, your brain is awash with expectations and the illusion of movement can easily be broken.

It's easy for people like you to forget, but Disney's genesis was highly experimental. They arrived at their principals by way of their internal testing, private showings, and public reaction.
>>
I haven't been checking these threads but it cracks me up that you always get idiots like >>148209892 whenever there's an anime that's whimsical, fantastical, a bit random and essentially the plot is hard to figure out from the first episode.

disney went into their animation r&d with a clear aesthetic and artistic objective in mind though. they weren't just throwing shit at the wall to see what would stick, they were aiming for a certain thing from the beginning. there's other studios and animators from the same era that did things differently and weren't 'lesser' for it. disney's guidelines aren't the bible revealed, they are guidelines for creating a certain type of animated cartooning
>>
>>148210476
Cant agree. All i seen was wasted potential - most of scenes could be done lot better, and had many glaring flaws weighting them down, many of those pure technical like bad montage and storyboarding despite good animation.

The only really good directed scene in episode was Papica launch sequence. On other hand the other two important scenes they put effort to - the forest fight and final transformation, failed.

>I don't know how you can care about animation as an artist/creator without drawing yourself

I don't know, it seems there are people here who are so-called sakugafags (understand, they like flashy visuals in their anime) but don't know how to draw.

But usually when you like a thing or are fascinated by it, you're interested in the thing right? I mean, guys that like movies usually are into a form of art that cinema uses (writing, photography, cinematography, music... whatever).

Even if you don't practice (because it's hard and you got other things to do) you can understand and theorize, like "I don't like this cut because in my sense, from what I think, it's flawed for whatever reason like weight" like some people do here. Not sure that they're all intensely into drawing.
What I mean is that the most of the sakugafags don't express themselves in a constructed, analytic and especially interesting manner about their views on particular cuts. All they seem to do is rambling with buzzwords, wowing, amazing, but no clear opinion that would permit debate. Sakuga discussions are uninteresting. Sakugafags mostly don't care.

Because they aren't talking about the animation in a vacuum. They're talking about its reception to the audience. The audience is people. They are talking about people.

You don't even seem to understand what is being discussed here. The issue is whether or not there are people in the threads who think they are armchair sakuga experts who are vehemently giving an opinion one way or the other on the show. If you don't even understand the topic on a fundamental level, don't try to play the I'm-on-a-higher-level-than-you-card. It just makes you like a moron or someone with legitimate autism.

I kind of expect that Cocona will go to the lab next episode and there will be some exposition about the world setting when they get there either that or the bad guys who caught her at the end will be talking about it among themselves and we will be party to that. Cocona is ripe to be explained to as a mode to explain to the viewer so I doubt they will resist that entirely. I would prefer her not to get a huge infodump though.

for the record i don't actually mind exposition as long as it's not just a poor showing, but it's generally better to save it for downtimes and aftermaths. your first episode of an action-adventure tv show would 90% do better without any of it, as is the case here

I don't know how to draw and appreciate effort being put into animation. I don't really know what most of the sakugafags you are talking about do because I am not part of the community but the more prominent guys from that community I have observed do talk about things like that from time to time, they don't do an indepth analysis of every 5 second cut that is impressive though if that is what you mean.
>>
>>148210861
Well it's the classic "show don't tell" deal right?
You can do plenty of exposition that feels like a completely natural conversation or establishing shots, or you can data dump. The latter is much more common regardless of if it happens in the beginning or not.

This is the impression I generally get and assume, but it hasn't happened yet so the issue is all the people bitching who not only can't read the flow of visuals alone but worse, aren't even aware of the basic cliche of the late info dump episode. If they were the reaction would be

>>148210632

>>148210683
Jesus this show has a legitimately bad first episode. Even if you can stand that it's all talking head exposition, the dialogue itself is horribly uninteresting and the backgrounds try to be pretty to make up for all the nothing going on but the complete lack of meaningful mise-en-scene and the "it looks pretty so it works" attitude is just so fucking bland and overdone. Also poor use of music. Just overall lacking in almost any sense of style. Another edgefest TRICKSTER managed to have a much more interesting first episode (still not that great) so I'm not sure what the excuse is here.
>>
>>148211003
You're right, kVin and all, from time to time, talk about it, but it feels underdeveloped (what I've seen is on Twitter and the booru coms, how do you want to develop?). Never seen a point of view that was really interesting and worth researching further.

Also, I want to add that maybe it's because they're too consensual? It's more interesting when the opinions are more weighted, good and bad, but there isn't much occasion to do this on Twitter, sometimes on the Booru but it doesn't go far.

The only places where I've seen interesting weighted comments on cuts in on the sakugathreads here actually.

Anipages has interesting archives of animation discussion, but they're more discussing a school of thought and theory rather than actual cuts from what I've seen.

Catsuka, I don't go much there but maybe they're discussing cuts.

I would agree with that wrote as much here >>148206414
but really I also think that it is OK to appreciate animation on a "that was a good cut" level too. Being able to do that kind of in depth analysis and understanding why a certain piece of animation is good and what makes it work is nice and I agree it would be good to see more of it and I don't appreciate when people just say "this is by circlejerked over animator X therefore its good" and can't go further into it or discuss it at all.

But I think there is nothing wrong at the same time with just being able to say "yeah that was a really nice bit of animation and I like that" even if you don't understand why you liked it, it is fine just to enjoy it for what it is even if that is a more casual kind of enjoyment.

The whole thing had an excitement and energy about it as soon as we left the initial slow first bit that makes it difficult to not to get carried away with the enthusiasm and genkiness of the papika character. It is fast paced and amusing, colourful and well animated. Fun.
>>

>>148210808
I thought so too but if you skim through again it's easier to find out what's going on.

The scientists are controlling the robot and Papika has a loose affiliation with them, but she does things by her own book. She's looking for a "candidate" which they need to get into Pure Illusion. Those monsters are the formations they called "frosted trees", though I don't know what that means or how they resemble trees.

Cocona doesn't wear her glasses when she's reading and writing so they are probably hold sentimental value.

>Animation is a fairly objective thing in that movement and your perception of it in real is completely objective.

Not sure to get what you meant by that. Which movement?

Oh I get it. You mean there is only one good way to depict movement in general, and that is following physics, like what you see in reality? That real rendering is the objective good goal that animators should strive for?

Or did I not get what you meant? Sorry.

>There's a limit to experimental work, your brain is awash with expectations and the illusion of movement can easily be broken.

I don't know, the illusion of reality can but the illusion of movement not so. And maybe that's even dependant on the viewer. What do you think of Kanada-style animation, super jumpy and objectively jerky? It's most commonly accepted as working animation for people now though, maybe not for fervent Disney's classical defendants.

>It's easy for people like you to forget, but Disney's genesis was highly experimental. They arrived at their principals by way of their internal testing, private showings, and public reaction.

I don't know much about Disney's history, true. Still, their principals are nothing objective. They're a school of thought that has it pros, but it's not flawless and has it limits, as much as the japanese limited animation.
>>
>>148211367
It isn't at all like that, Sasami-san was full of references to mythology that were semi-applicable and semi made the fuck up and shoehorned in that were difficult enough to understand the tenuous links between even if you were Japanese and read the source material making it actually difficult to understand what was going on regardless of how much they explained.

This just had a first episode that was light on exposition and heavy on action. The plot itself seems like it will be fairly simple, the evil guys want the gems and the magical girls want the gems because their lab wants them, they all want the gems because they make dreams come true. They haven't explained much of the world setting beyond a few basic properties yet but I am sure that will come with time and be perfectly understandable.

It's right in its name. They arrived at it because they couldn't produce at the same level the west could. As an artistic moment it's born right out of western animation, and considered technically inferior by the very people that helped invent it.

I didn't express myself well, but I agree with that. Though I don't really know how people appreciate it that way if not just as literal eyecandy. I'm not saying it's bad or I don't like it because I understand we can do that, though if you're not in the shoes of an artist in your appreciation of animation (the curiosity of understanding the why and how) and is just superficially liking it, I find it weird to appreciate animation more than anything else.

If you don't care about the technical of it, animation is only served by its style, and the style should serve the themes and story. In the end it's a whole, so if you're not obsessed by some sort of thing related to the inner workings of it, I'm not sure I get why you would see the animation more than the writing, consciously.
>>
>>148210932

No, Cocona is actually class president and smart, and she has many friends. Yayaka is her best friend though, and they were friends since childhood. I don't think they will fight, maybe Yayaka will fight Papika because she's jealous or something.
>>
>>148211969
There's a balance though, I do want to be left with questions but I also want to start forming attachments and interest about the characters and setting. I can't name a dozen examples off the top of my head by Psycho-Pass's first episode comes to mind, it opens with the clip where Kogami and Makishima fight and then backtracks to start the show and begin worldbuilding.

There's a range here from completely understood to no fucking clue and there are a lot of places in between that can work. I could probably find others but you probably get the idea.

The fast pacing and the switching between settings threw me off I guess, it's not that obvious when many things come down to a single line dropped amid visually complicated action sequences.

The way things are animated tells the story. Not understanding the way something is animated doesn't make your appreciation superficial. You can appreciate an actors skill in portraying a certain emotion convincingly without understanding how to act. Likewise you can notice when an animation has for example particularly realistic feeling weight or a subtle but insightful way of expressing something you can tell came from close observation. You don't need to understand the techniques to notice the quality always although sometimes it can help.

>>148212060
I understand, I didn't express myself well here again.

The choice of words is very important here.

I understand that Disney is animated on 1s, has detailed movements, backgrounds and whatnot. Full animation, huge budget animation, time and blood and sweat.

When Japanese animation is called limited in comparison because it's around 2s-4s, have lots of QUALITY and often a lot of other flaws. Mostly because the budget is lesser, and a lot less time and fewer big talents too.

I think though that the limited view of Japanese animation is only because Disney is a standard (I'd say it's actually a american-centered point of view).

Limited animation might be born, industrially, from the constraints of the industry (money, time, manpower), Disney being the gold standard in terms of production.

But I don't think that artistically (nor objectively) limited animation is "objectively" or "artistically" or "stylistically" under Disney's standard. It's just different.

The number of drawing is lesser, but the end animation can be just as good if not better or... different. Disney being a gold standard is only a valid opinion on an biased American point of view, and from a capitalist point of view, but money doesn't make an animation good.

>>148212060
I agree with this guy to be honest. Although limited animation initially evolved as an offshoot of financial constraints in Japan it has developed into its own methodology of animation with its own artistic merit and style separate to that of animation on the 1s at a high budget. A lot of techniques and styles used simply would never have been developed if it weren't for the fact that animation was forced to be limited in Japan.

The lack of money forced animators to become more creative in the pursuit of creating the same illusion of movement convincingly when they were unable to put so much actual movement on the screen.

You could call that a cheap trick if you wanted to but I think there is a brilliance to that in its own right even if it isn't brilliant in the same way the opulence of a top-tier Disney production was. Things like modulating frame rates to vary the impact of certain frames and poses for example that are uniquely anime.
>>
>>148212797
techniques developed in limited animation aren't even exclusive to limited animation, they just show up there more often because most japanese animation is limited.

akira is on 1s very often and uses stuff developed by animators who worked on limited animation. the number of frames is honestly very irrelevant when it comes to quality of movement, what matters is the concept and the fidelity.
>>
>>148212730
I think when it comes to the difference between decent and great having that knowledge will really help though. Like most people can spot shit animation with no knowledge. That is why we see so many QUALITY threads. But it is harder for a lot of people to spot the difference between decent and great I think thus it never used to be as much of a topic for discussion on /a/.
>>
>>148212908
>the number of frames is honestly very irrelevant when it comes to quality of movement, what matters is the concept and the fidelity.

The number of frames isn't the important part where I was talking about frame rates specifically but the changing of them to give impact to certain frames over others. Increasing and decreasing the number of frames on an ad-hoc basis during a cut to change the quality of movement and give important poses and actions emphasis in a given cut.
>>
>>148211487
nobody is calling this show a 10/10 masterpiece they're just agreeing that it's above average, I don't see why there's so much shitposting. It's much better than re:zero where people were 100% sure it would be the next FMAB
>>
>>148212908
and I wasn't saying that techniques developed in limited animation were exclusive to that either just that being constrained financially forces people to come up with creative solutions to the problem of depicting movement convincingly that they might not have come up with if they had the luxury of a great budget.
>>
>>148213085
the only difference between 'limited' and 'full' is the number of frames though. anything else comes down to stylistic preferences/skill of the animator. iso can make a cut on 3s and it'll have weight, follow-through, secondary action and feel realistic (in a real people way, not a disney way)
>>
>>148212908
Akira is on 1s and use mostly "anime" timing, I believe. It gives us an insight at what anime would look if animated on 1s, like Disney. Does it changes much? I don't feel that it change much, Japanese limited animation with its particular timing doesn't need full animation, as it was designed so.

Though it might add some fluidity to some parts that would be usually more jerky. But full animation isn't perfect either, like I said it has pros and cons, despite being way more expensive, the fact that there is much more frames gives much more opening for errors. You can feel the lines waving much more, I'm not sure that's because of it but I've always had a problem with animation on 1s since being accustomed to anime, and even more since I'm "animation conscious".

>>148212797
Thanks for the input, I agree with you, as for the brilliance. I think it's amazing because it's actually directorial brilliance. Like Dezaki's and Anno's stills, they are great from a directorial point of view, but they effectively limit the cost of production. I think it's a way to do more with less.

As for actual animation limitation innovation that is interesting, Kanada-style animation push the jerky way of limited to its end. I love the idea too, even if I don't like too much his animations, the successors like Imaishi are great.

On another point, I love when anime tend to look like cartoon, like Yoshinari's.
>>
>>148213303
I don't think so, something animated purely on 1s will feel different from something that goes from 3s for a slow motion then switches to 1s for the fast part of the same motion and again different from something just on 3s. That is what I am talking about when I say frame rate modulation you know? It is a different way or reaching the same goal.
>>
>>148213436
and i am saying you can create any feel in most framerates. if you work on 4s (iso and inoue have done it in some places) and suddenly switch to 2s, it'll feel as fast as switching from 2s to 1s. calarts fags will complain about 'jerkiness' because they are too concerned about the number of drawings, rather the concept of the movement or the fidelity to life.
>>
>>148213523
I'll accept that the frame rates themselves are irrelevant sure you can create realistic weighting and movement in any reasonable frame rate for the movement you are trying to convey, but the modulation of the frame rate creates a distinctly different effect than having a constant frame rate.
>>
>>148213605
i never disagreed with that. modulation is a technique that can be used in purely limited animation, or in full animation. disney themselves modulated their framerates and i'm pretty sure i could even find some 3s stuff in WB shorts and the like.
>>
Limited animation is far from bad. I don't know if you heard about OuLiPo, (Li for Literature) it was a group of French writer who voluntarily constrained their writing to find new ways of expression, like, writing without "e". It's basically limited writing, in a sense.

Limited animation is the same thing (but with industrial constraints, which are much more grounded in reality, bu still gives openings for creativity), and there's also a thing called OuAniPo (Ani for Animation).

Limitation isn't equal to less good. And when people are talking about forced animation, they are right in the sense that it can exists. When you do thing fully without thinking about why you do it, most of the time, just because "you can".

I wrote a thing about that, I don't usually write blogs so it's shit (sorry) but there are some of the mentioned points covered http://blog.lighthalzen.cf/en/trivialities/on-contrast/
