Is there any studio with better visuals than Ufotable?

Shaft. Mostly.

Ufotable consistently pump out the ugliest character designs in anime.

Visuals don't mean much when you're forever going to be "that studio that only really exists cause it adapted a bunch of Type moon shit". Even if you look at non-TM adaptations ufotable have yet to put out a single original TVA I would consider good.

When you also factor in the massive budget they get for some of their projects compared to other studios it's pretty sad just how little increase in quality all that money does.

>>148234008
ufotable is good with backgrounds but awful at putting characters on top of those backgrounds

Try paying more attention to how the characters move. Sometimes it looks like they're sliding rather than walking.

>>148239511
the character animation is good in all of their anime

>>148239489
I just went blind.

>>148239319
I do remember thinking there were some really nice aerial shots in kuromukuro.

>>148239450
I'm gonna assume you're talking about my second point cause the citation for my opinion that they haven't done a good original TVA yet is me.

UBW was reported to break even at ~8000 sales.
http://yaraon.blog109.fc2.com/blog-entry-12662.html

That's well over double the standard manabi line of 2899 and while it's ridiculous to argue that almost 3x the budget should yield 3x the quality it's still a pretty sad state of affairs considering other studios can produce equal to better quality animation on a third of what ufotable gets.

>>148234008
There's something off about this image. Everything feels like 3DCGI or something.

>>148239650
kVin told me budget is a meme though.

>>148239650
I'd imagine a lot of the costs went to outsourcing work, especially in the second half when episodes started getting loads of key animators to cope with the tight schedule.

>>148239675
I'm 95% sure that ufotable uses a mixture of 2D and 3D animation

>>148239736
Pretty much every studio does these days. Ufotable puts a lot of work into the digital post-processing though, that's why their shows look distinct.

>>148239698
It's half a meme, half true.

>>148239736
Obviously. They just tend to overuse it and mask poor animation with them, which is why it's really jarring.

The last thing Ufotable did that looked both good on drawings and animation was Yuri Seijin Naoko-san.

But if you like CG and slideshows of picture of landscapes then disregard this post.

>>148239792
>distinct

Yeah, I can't think of any other studios with such detailed backgrounds but the characters still have profile sidemouthes.

>>148234222
Too much bloom and shitty filters

Sakugablog never talks about ufotable so they must be shit

>>148239924
Majokko is also legit.

>>148239924
I would kill a man for a Naoko-san TV anime. Shame that ufotable is stuck doing shitty videogame adaptations as Aniplex's bitch

When will Ufotable stop doing video game adaptations with eye cancerous visuals?

Because of ufotable.

Is that so? I guess I just assumed it was Aniplex since they dominate the anime publishing market so hard.
They're still Aniplex's bitch for the Type-Moon stuff, though.

Not really a visually exceptional show, but it had it's moments

GoHands > Ufotable

No point comparing to other studios, since Ufotable loses to them absolutely in experience, even to likes of JC Staff or Deen.

>>148239955
>ufotable

>>148240131
I'm sure they don't mind getting the main Type-Moon titles from Aniplex, that's pretty much guaranteed profit for the studio. Which producer in their right mind would turn down work like that?

Can't say I'm keen on their Bandai video game adaptions though, it's a waste of time if you ask me seeing that the likes of God Eater and Tales don't exactly sell great. But I guess keeping a good relationship with Bandai guarantees steady work from animating video game OPs so that's probably the business case for it.

>>148240249
GoHands is even worse with their retarded visuals.

>>148240249
I feel like DEEN would become god-tier if they didn't launder all of their money and make anime on shoestring budgets.

Konosuba had some very impressive parts.

>>148240306
GoHands has style. Ufotable doesnt - it has polished but sterile visuals with all the same flaws.

>>148240325
Konosuba had some good animators working on it. I don't think the studio is well-organized enough to pull off something consistent though.

>>148240388
Rakugo

>>148240306
>>148240348
GoHands actually does do some interesting stuff with their animation. I like their rotoscoping and sometimes the filters do work. Sadly, similar to ufotable, it's all wasted when everything else about their anime sucks

>>148234008
Nah they're visually supreme

>>148234222
They do nice bloomy shit and have good depth of shot but they don't compare

>>148240408
It didn't have much good animation. The directing carried the show.

>>148240306
They do some of the most spastic and ugly anime I've ever seen

>>148240408
Rakugo had god-tier direction but the art/animation itself was normal

>>148240441
Rakugo was consistent, though.

The point was that Ufotable is clueless about animating fights since lack any really talented individual stuff that could showcase great animation, nor the refinement of the studios like KyoAni or Madhouse that could display the actual martial arts authentically.

Ufotable fights, all of them - are jarring nonsense that neither are greatly animated (since cant even draw human body movement naturally), nor well composed (resulting in stupid movements and basic sword bashing of elementary school kids "fighting").

>UFOTABLE digital

>Not even while being a machine girl can she be left with wet clothes. As a change of clothes was necessary, she lay a bathrobe around her supposedly perfect body and headed for the bathroom.

Beautiful use of lines, angles and perspective. The choice of color palette and consistently great art style creates a unifying vibe to the show.

None of those are good. Even just posting the caged Shinji shot would have been better.

>>148247163
>mundane
caps 1,2,3 and 6 are creative shots that do excellent world building. You get a good idea of Tokyo 3 and the mood of the show in just the first episode with these scenes.

Cap 3 gives a great intro to the mysterious Rei Ayanami. That shot and the lines leaves you intrigued at who this girl is.

Cap 5 is perhaps the 2nd most boring of all but it foreshadows the dynamic between shinji and misato with the use of the low angle just behind the shoulder of shinji.

Cap 7 is also a great foreshadowing, the impending issues of getting in the robot. The shadowed figure of Shinji and that giant hand reaching over him encapsulates it.

Cap 8 shows a lot of things. The power dynamic between Gendo and Shinji shown by the low angle shot. Their estranged relationship, the thing (eva) that links them together shown by the horn of EVA-01 connecting Shinji and Gendo.

Cap 9 is perhaps the most boring but it is still well made and shows a good 3rd person angle concerning the terror of piloting for the first time and facing an angel.

Why? is almost like using blur in video games to hide flaws on texture and polygon count.

Nichijou, Uchouten Kazoku and even Lucky Star is better that any of that Hibike stuff, those shows look like anime and take advantage of it.

Has there ever been a monologue by any KyoAni character as powerful as Jiraiya's death speech?

>In the shinobi world, it’s not how you live. It’s how you die. A shinobi’s life is not measured by how they live, but measured by what they managed to accomplish before their death. And looking back, my life really has been full of nothing but failures. Continually rejected by Tsunade, unable to stop my friend, and unable to protect either my student or my mentor. Compared to the great deeds of the Hokage, my actions are trifling, insignificant things indeed. I wished that I could have died like each of the Hokage. A tale is only as good as its final turn of events. The plot twist. Failures must be seen as mere amusements! They are trials which hone your skills. I lived believing that. And in return, I swore I’d accomplish a deed so great that it would obliterate all of my failures. And I'd die a splendid shinobi. At least that’s how it supposed to go. But with my plot twist, my tale, ending like this. The Great Lord Elder prophesied that I would be the one to guide that revolutionary. A person who will make a great choice that would bring either stability or destruction to the world of the shinobi. I thought I would defeat Pain, stop the Akatsuki, and save the world from destruction. But in the end, I failed that too. How pitiful… How sad that this would be the twist of "The Tale of Jiraiya the Gallant." What a worthless story.

>>148249738
But Uchouten Kazoku and Lucky Star are not well animated by any means compared to the more ambitious character animation in Hibike. They are even less noteworthy as anime. Ufotable's recent stuff is in essence anti-animation because of far too aggressive digital effects obscuring the drawings. At least in Hibike the postprocessing is done meticulously with a defined aesthetic and thematic ground. It's not overused despite what people here say.

>>148250364
Can you make one of those with the episode 82 of Shippuden?, its one of the best animed episodes of anime history...

Define "visuals"

Most things posted in the thread are outsourced backgrounds, if anything scene composition can be attributed to the studios - but even so, most of them are lose collection of freelancers and 90% of "their" shows are infact outsourced to three dozen other studios each.

Ufotable is especially guilty of this. So is A1, Shaft, WIT etc.

So if we evaluate "visuals" we split into:

>Consistency
KyoAni
PA Works (also not all works)
Sunrise (little works, but they CAN if they try)
Ufotable (since they get decend budgets and time, though still fail at

>Animation
Sunrise
Bones

Ishidate is best current KyoAni director so rightfully got to adapt their best upcomming workwith VEG.

Though he`s everything "anime fags" should hate, since he actually wasnt interested in anime and is pure cinema fag that only got to KyoAni since all live action companies refused him, so he became Kigami`s slave.

>>148251665
Kyokai no Kanata has very similar colors to UFO's Fate, but it beats it in animation and quality consistency.

>>148251914
It's all in-house animators that have been working on Naruto and teaching the new gen since forever.

Ishidate pales in comparison to Oshii, Kon, Anno, Ikuhara or Satou.

>>148252061
none of those are "pa works", its always Studio Easter or Bamboo

PA Works achivement is just that they task them regularly to make backgrounds for them.

>>148252146

It was not until Amaburi that Kyoani did their own background art.

KyoAni doesn't have them as subsidiary in their site either.

The only proof people have when arguing ST blue being part of KyoAni is the wikipedia article which has no sources. ST Blue works with other studios as well.
