Remember when KyoAni was good?

Yesterday?

2011?

Now?

You mean now? Disappearance already got blown the fuck out by Yamada's movies.

No.

KyoAni only did one good piece of work and that was this movie.
Everything else has been mediocre at best.

Violet Evergarden will bring them back. It could be the most ambitious they've been since Disappearance.

>>149344222
This. There is literally nothing more ambitious than adapting a light novel.

>>149341596
Come on anon. Disappearance is one of my favorite anime but you can't say Hibike wasn't good. I know Phantomshit was well, shit, but Hibike isn't bad.

>>149345773
>stop having opinions I don't like!
Fuck off idiot. If you want an actual discussion you can start by saying what you think makes Hibike good.

>>149345196
Because the entire season so far has been focused on drama about characters we know nothing about and have no reason to care about. Instead of making us care about these characters beforehand they just dropped them in the story out of nowhere and carried out their melodrama.

>>149345875
The drama was bad at first glance but it was solved pretty well and for what it was, an autistic PTSD that got thrown out of the way after 4 episodes with a simple discussion rather than something serious. Ribbon got promoted to best girl and last episode was really good so I'm fine with it.

>>149346250
Nah, it was pretty good.

>>149346250
What's wrong with the resolution? A simple talk addressing the girl's insecurities rather than some overplayed bullshit that'd play out in a bigger more serious drama. I think that's a fitting choice.

Hibike is shit

these scores better just be relative to the studio and not relative to all anime because there's no way K-On gets a 9/10 or 10/10 otherwise. Even SAO had more consistent storytelling and didn't try to hide their pandering as anything other than pandering.

if they just wanted to tell a story of friendship and coming-of-age they didn't need all the characters to be one-dimensional, genetically perfect and flawless cardboard cutouts of people that are way too small and cute for their age. They would've had far more emphasis on realistic characters as opposed to focusing on the character's gimmicks and superficial elements until the very last arcs. It's mostly just appealing to the people who watch shows for the cute girls and not for the story or themes.

>>149355171
Can't expect a Hyouka fan to have good taste. Especially since Haruhi is essentially Hyouka done right.

>>149355171
haruhi is pretty bad honestly

you want unrealistic one-dimensional characters? >>149355145 there's a show for you

>>149355145
so in short, you dislike the character designs? that's the extent of your criticism?

>>149354819
Hyouka is a novel. Haruhi is a LN. The former is inherently superior just from source material alone but Hyouka has far better animation and more ambitious storyboards that is intrinsically tied to the theatrical narrative texture. Disappearance is bogged down by LN monologues and misguided drama.

>>149355171
Haruhi is just a trashy LN.

>>149355183
Like I said, they're genetically perfect and flawless. Far too cute and small for their age. They don't even begin to act like real people would until the graduation, but that is ruined by forced melodrama and over-exaggeration, and by that point, it's far too late to start developing the characters. They are just 'anime characters', and they don't deviate from just being characters defined by a gimmick.
>>149355282
character designs are important part of characters, especially when attempting to be realistic.

>>149355171
Haruhi was otaku trash pandering to the lowest common denominator. Literally SAO tier of anime.

>>149355299
>theatrical narrative texture
?

>>149355145
I didn't think they were one-dimensional at all. I mean it's not literary genius but they had more personality to them than most slice of life characters.

>>149355328
There is nothing inherently good about realism. K-On has low detail character design to allow animators to apply more expressive visual comedy via squash and stretch and smears.

>>149355360
Hyoukafags like to use big words

>>149355328
>Like I said, they're genetically perfect and flawless. Far too cute and small for their age.
This criticism is nonsensical. It's stylized.

>>149355372
I'll give you that, they are better than a lot of Sol characters.
>>149355414
can't comment on the comedy, too subjective to rate. I'm talking about the people claiming it's a psychological masterpiece and deserves 10/10 for the drama and development.

Dumb fallacy. Hyouka's dialogues are way more autistic than most LNs/VNs.
>Hyouka has far better animation and more ambitious storyboards that is intrinsically tied to the theatrical narrative texture
Hyouka has better animation. That's all. The characters, the story, even the storyboards are better in Haruhi (S1, 2, Disappearance).
It's really funny to talk about misugided drama when literally all the drama in Hyouka is either dumb as hell (who closed the door) or cheap and forced (i'm jealous of my autistic friend for being able to solve dumb mysteries even though he's literally friendless and too lazy to do anything by himself)

>>149355145
It sounds like you're mistaking a preference for realism with a shortcoming in Keion's fundamental design. That's not to say it's not realistic - it is, in many ways - but animation is always abstracted from reality to a degree. It's what allows us to accept the brand of idealism we find in this or in similar works. "Cute" is a big part of contemporary Japanese aesthetics - this is its artistic justification, in the same way something like Totoro is a celebration of "old Japan." It's fine to view this kind of art as tacky or kitsch, because it is to some extent, but I don't think you can just dismiss it on the basis of being unrealistic.

It's an emotional masterpiece and deserves 10/10 for painting a beautiful picture of school-age friendship.

>>149355466
I can't take people who complain about the mysteries being mundane (muh deaths) seriously and there is nothing dumb about characters having an inferiority complex. Every you said about Haruhi being better than Hyouka is just wrong.

>ywn eat haruhi's hotpot

>>149355544
Yes. Haruhi is Chitanda except she has a character beyond "I'M CURIOUS SO THE PLOT CAN GO SOMEWHERE", since she has reasons to be curious/sad/happy and wanting to do something. She can express a lot more than Chitanda's only pattern and her concerns are far more human and relatable. Her character also goes somewhere.
Kyon is Oreki done right too. He has reasons to avoid getting implicated (because Haruhi is, most of the time, a pain in the ass), you can relate to these, but he also has good reasons to like it at the same time while not really wanting to admit it. And most people can probably relate to this contradiction. It's not just "I'm lazy" -> "I'll solve your shitty mystery" -> "My life is more colorful now". Kyon and Haruhi go through hardships and try to figure themselves.

Do I need nostalgia to like Haruhi? The writing is horrendous and makes me want to peel my skin back and it looks like shit.

>>149355806
Season 1 was good
Season 2 was meh
Endless 8 single handedly killed the series
Disappereance of haruhi suzumiya was a fucking masterpiece

>>149355806
You need good taste.

>>149355608
>>149355632
What I'm saying is not that a show has to be realistic to be good, but that a DRAMA has to be realistic to be good. You can't be expected to care about characters if they are all gimmicky dere-archetypes with no personality beyond their trope. If they just stayed a episodic comedy series I couldn't comment since their characters would fit a comedic atmosphere. It's like trying to watch a drama about clowns. Especially when there are shows like Akage no Anne that even do the exact same coming-of-age then having to graduate and be away from your friends better to prove without a doubt that it DOES benefit far more from realistic characters.

>>149355907
I'd disagree that a drama has to be realistic, I'd also disagree that K-On! is a drama.

>>149355907
>gimmicky dere-archetypes with no personality beyond their trope

none of the k-on characters are gimmicky dere

and none of the drama is really "forced", things are often minor hitches that get resolved over the course of an episode in a light-hearted way

>>149355907
K-ON is not a fucking drama though

>>149355985
>I'd also disagree that K-On! is a drama.
me too. Everyone seems to praise the "emotional" graduation scene as a masterpiece instead of forced melodrama. Thus my criticism. If it was just a silly SoL comedy the whole time and no one tried to praise it as anything more I wouldn't even have an argument.
>>149356018
the characters are all based on a single idea and embody that idea and only that idea. Thus, one dimensional. If I tried to give examples I'd just be accused of oversimplifying the characters (even though the whole point is the show did that for me). They are attempted to give more dimensions near the end but it's far too late at that point.
>>149356225
the only forced drama is the graduation. Completely over-exaggerated and unnecessary. I would see it as better if they were graduating primary school and not highschool. They're acting like 10 year olds not someone who's about to be an adult.

>>149356355
How is the graduation over-exaggerated? That's pretty standard for highschoolers to cry on their last days. Shit's heavy.

>>149356355
The graduation scene was neither dramatic nor forced.

>>149356355
I think you have a fundamental misunderstanding of words here. "Emotional" and "dramatic" are not synonyms. I have never heard anyone describe the K-On graduation as "drama". It's not drama. It's not melodrama because it's not drama.

>>149356414
I can't speak for what it's like in Japan, but here everyone is overjoyed to graduate.
>>149356464
>>149356468
Drama - an exciting, emotional, or unexpected series of events or set of circumstances.

>>149356536
It's a good thing but it's also one of the biggest steps you're taking in life. It changes your habits, and you're going to say goodbye to the people you already know to meet new ones. It's only natural to feel anxious about it to the point of crying if you really liked your highschool life.

>>149356355
>the characters are all based on a single idea and embody that idea and only that idea. Thus, one dimensional
You still have failed to give me any proof of this. Of course many people who don't pay attention to what's on their screen would come to this conclusion.

>>149355753
Not the guy you replied to but at least Chitanda is likable. Haruhi being such a cunt and consistently getting away with it is the biggest reason I dropped the series.

>>149356675
Hibike barely has any sameface though

>>149356355
You do realize you're being meme'd right? Nobody actually likes K-On.

>>149356536
Alright, if we take dramatic to mean emotional then how did you interpret that sequence of events as forced?

>>149356689
She grows up during the course of the serie, and she doesn't really get away with it when she does something really bad (Kyon almost punches her in Sighs).

>>149356611
Yui = genki scatterbrain
Mio = scaredy-cat tsukkomi
Ritsu = tomboy boke
Mugi = airhead ojou-sama
Azusa = stickler that gets coerced into having fun

>>149356611
if I just called Yui the "exaggeratingly stupid one and innocent who likes cute things and nothing more," it would be an accurate statement but whenever I make a statement like that K-On fans just swarm me to say "but no she got development!" then you look at the last episode compared to the first and just see they're the same person.
>>149356744
the actual events are reasonable and expected, the characters reactions are forced. They don't do anything reasonable like realizing friends do in fact exist outside of highschool and it is possible to stay in touch and graduating is not the end of the world.

>>149356836
Yui is a lot smarter than you give her credit for. She's playing stupid for the sake of it, and shows some social intelligence.

>>149356536
IT'S NOT ABOUT JUST THE GRADUATION YOU FUCKING IDIOT IT'S ABOUT THE FACT THAT AZUSA'S FOUR BEST FRIENDS HAVE TO LEAVE AND HER FUN SCHOOLTIME ANTICS ARE COMING TO AN END

AND SHE'S TOO PROUD TO EVER ADMIT HER FEELINGS BUT ENDS UP BREAKING DOWN IN FRONT OF THEM AND OPENING UP

AND THEN THEY PLAY "WE TOUCHED AN ANGEL" AND EVERYONE CRIES BECAUSE THEY'RE ALL FRIENDS

>>149356836
I'm not sure how you interpreted that episode as them taking it as the end of the world. Far from it, it's no more than a brief moment of verklempt as they're forced to explicitly confront the anxiety of growing up and of separation.

it's clearly not going to be the same with people going to different establishments with other environments/friends/matters to attend to, they can meet up but it's just not going to be as good as before

>>149356807
Okay, but that doesn't excuse the fact that she's such an unlikable bitch at the start, which made me dislike/not care about her in the first place. And considering the whole series revolves around her I don't see myself suddenly changing my mind about her and liking the show.

people actually liked Hyouka?

>>149357073
I guess some people can't tolerate it, but I find it pretty satisfying when a character grows that much. I watched it mostly for Kyon though.

They're pretty similar in that regard, but the settings are pretty different. Yuki's main problem was that she carried everyone's weights and nobody noticed, so it's a lot about her entourage. Rei is more of an existential crisis type of character iirc (although it's still partly about her entourage)
But yeah, I can see the similarities, except that Yuki's big moment was more of a cry for help than Rei's.

It's not necessarily hard but there's a lot of shit to learn, it's hard for messy people.

>Yui
Kind, lazy, easily distracted, whimsical, attracted to cute things, very good at memorizing things (schoolwork), very appreciative of those around her, unsure of the future, very sentimental

>Mio
Great vocalist, misguided lyricist, sensitive, self-conscious, rock fan, likes to be organized, tries hard to not let her immaturity show itself to her friends, sentimental, tries to avoid attention

>Ritsu
Never takes much seriously until worried about a friend, on the lower end of the income spectrum, sentimental but tries not to appear so, loud, always one to lighten the atmosphere, enjoys attention, gives off the image of an older sister in contrast to Yui

>Mugi
Tries to imitate people on the lower income class, maintains slight reservation from her club members in the beginning before opening up, becomes less passive and more active, strong, feels left out at times

>Azusa
Comes to understand what the music club really means to her, worried about her club members leaving but tries to hide her 'selfishness', secretly immature, tries to hide her instinctive emotions, the audience surrogate

>>149358103
Ritsu a best

>>149358103

Mio's lyrics are the only thing that really gives the music in K-On personality, otherwise it would be very generic music. The lyrics aren't good exactly but they have a certain attitude. Also it's exactly the sort of thing a highschool student would write
