Why does KyoAni never follow the source?

>>149438858
They think theirs writers are better than the author.

>>149438858
Because lately they only tend to adapt low quality works.
A bit of a shame that writing isn't their strong suite either.

To be honest, the best anime series out there went away from the original source. KyoAni just doesn't do this well. A show like Sailor Moon added a lot more character development and personality to what was a pretty dry love story with some sentai influences. KyoAni on the other hand actually removes character development and comedy from the original source, putting in empty dialogue scenes and slow camera pans. In other words, they focus so much on animation and scene building that they forget a show, even an animated show, needs to have development and flow.

They're kind of like GONZO when it comes to how they handle story content. But with amazing hand drawn animation instead of lazy CGI.

Seeing KyoAni animate suffering would be nice for a change.

>>149449654
It would have been better than what they actually did.

>>149438858
Because the source is generally garbage, and Kyoani generally does a really good job of improving it. Just look at K-on. If they had done a straight by-the-numbers adaptation then it would've just been a footnote in the annals of anime history. When they make changes in an adaptation it's usually because they're trying to polish a hunk of shit, and they're generally great at that.

Depends on what you mean by 'forced'. You can also 'force' a show to be fanservice SOL when its source material wasn't.

Kyoani's deep drama is great

KyoAni is one of the best studios, if not the best.

>>149443365
This was the only good episode of KnK.

>>149451226
Believe it or not the source material was even lewder

>>149451417
While I really enjoyed Hibike S1 the drama for this first arc felt incredibly trite and I'm glad it's over. The ensemble performance was as good as I expected but those three drama filled episodes leading up it were just so mediocre.

Hopefully the focus shifts back to Kumiko and other actually interesting band members for the next while.

>>149451537
Lewd to the point of being forced

>>149451308
Only volume 1 was adapted in a way that´s relatively faithful. It's in volume 2 where the series does a complete 180 switch in demographic.

>>149451569
Don't see how it's different from your average harem novel.

Kyoani needs to try something new imo, they aren't creative enough.

They just need to go back to adapting other people's works and stop trying to write their own.

Problem is, even when they try to go back to adapting stuff, they morph the source material into their vision of what it should have been. As was explained above, good producers/directors can take something and improve it. KyoAni on the other hand has proven time and again to take a story and adapt it to be slower and boring.

Having KyoAni do an adaptation of your work means a show which is visually stunning, but lacking in flow and emotion. Except those few seconds of action/drama every 7 or so episodes.

>>149452036
>be slower and boring
seriously hope you don't unironically believe this

>>149438858

Because I don't want to pay for the same crap twice. What's the point in watching/reading something that's a shot-for-shot Xerox of the source? I actively encourage adaptations to take departures, you'll still be seeing somethibg new.

>>149451838
I thought that might be the case seeing how many clues about it were given recently but I'm glad to know that's confirmed. I don't keep up with/read the LNs but it seems like KyoAni is being more faithful to these novels than usual (chara designs aside).

>>149451907
Agreed. I'd honestly prefer a studio to attempt something interesting and fail than produce something they know they're comfortable with but is completely uninteresting. Aside from a few moments of genuinely creative work, the Phantom World we got was so lackluster it'll probably only be remembered for being KyoAni's most forgettable series as of late.

>>149452127

If I didn't believe it, I wouldn't have typed it. Every show since Hyouka has been slow and boring for me.

Because they know books and manga don't translate well to TV without modification.

A rare insight in the post 2003 anime industry.

>>149453245

>A rare insight
Almost every studio heavily changes things from the source. Its just a matter of how. And KyoAni hardly does it correctly.

Its far more rare to see a studio stay really close to the source. Works for something like Hajime no Ippo and bad for Sailor Moon.

>>149441720
Dude, Maid Dragon is already fine as it is and honestly it is pretty based for the humour the author uses in all of its works, yes even the H ones, so Kyoani bastardizing this stuff would be an atrocity.

Heck maid dragon is know for lewd dragons doing lewd and stupid stuff, if you lose the "breeding" or awkward moments as punchline or closing gag you pretty much lose Maid Dragon.

They did made Nichijou more enjoyable, but we need lewd dragons and drunken OL with sarcastic sense of humor to actually pull this off.

>>149455482
Did they even change anything on Nichijou?

>>149455592
Yes, they made their own 'timeline' and most SoL moments in the show are original.

>>149456260
New Kyoani isn't very good. Hibike is bad. Chuunibyo is bad (especially season 2). All the yuri and fujo pandering and baiting is bad.
Phantom World was a complete joke. I mean come on.

>>149456301
Phantom World is an alright show. The second half is very good and the last 3 episodes just make the whole show. Really, only episodes 2 and 5 were bad, episodes 1, 3, 6, and 10 were decent, and the rest were great. There really isn't anything terrible about it.

>>149456301
Koe no Katachi is great.

>>149456373
It was awful.

Kyoani, at best, has as many flops as it does acceptable shows. There are plenty of other studios dropping sleeper hits, cult classics and genuine financial juggernauts with more regularity than kyoani even gets a 'good' show out.
Without their -now tired- art style there would be nothing remarkable about them in the slightest.

>>149456301
>Hibike is bad

>>149456583

>>149457050

>>149457089
No, it's how they say 'opinions'.

>>149457128
Except you can quantify the financial and critical success of a show. You can measure how well recieved it was generally and even the longevity of the show.

It is no stretch to say that other studios are breaking new ground and getting lots of attention whereas kyoani is trending downwards, unequivocally. When was their last Haruhi or K-on? Their last Chunni season 1? Hibike is lukewarm and their fujo bait while successful is only that, bait. It has cult following status but nothing more. That's the only 'quality' show they can pin their name to in recent times. These are not opinions. While the conclusions are subjective the circumstances are very much clear, and set in stone.

>>149457089

Did KyoAni spend more time making some things better than others or what's the excuse for those recent adaptations? Did KyoAni 's magnum opus, Free, take up too much of their time to give any of those three a chance?

>>149457514
All those are literally better than if they're following word by word in the book

>>149457501
No. I am saying that there are several metrics for quality based on different elements of a work and principles of consumption.
Reception, standard and critical is one important aspect. Finance is another. They are not equivalent has they are working off entirely different metrics.

Further these metris are most applicable when talking about an individual product, not a studio. Products are packaged then sold, stuidios change over time. You could value a studio by the recent trending of their products in terms of aggregating those metrics discussed earlier. In that sense while clinging to finical stability, Kyoani has experienced a massive depreciation in reception, both critical and general.

Hibike is well-marketed enough that even my third-world shithole has a Kumiko placard in a Yamaha store

Your newfag crime is simply not lurking the fuck more.

Maid dragon has some legit good moments, mainly when Tooru is asking/contemplating all the deep questions and when the expectations of harmony/chaos dragons are questioned. Hopefully Kyoani can expand on that and make parallels with actual issues..

While the not an argument meme is fun, it was in fact an argument. It set up conditions based in reason for a certain criteria to be considered true. It then displayed how those conditions weren't met. It is a far better constructed argument than "I fucking love kyoani filters and homosexual subtexts, stop being mean"

Oh wow the fear is real.

>When were they moved?
When you started ignoring the facts that proved you wrong and started basing your argument on where some other anon lived.

>>149438858
because the source is shit

>>149457979
I remember people dropping unceremoniously as it aired. I remember sticking it out because I like megane. I remember it screwing itself with a shit hook-for-a-movie ending.

Alright halt it, no need to give (You)s to bait

>>149457925
2017 is a grim year for Kyoani haters. Like how shitposting is most intense before Koe no Katachi's was proven to be a success, they have to vent before the facts come out and prove them wrong:
>Maid Dragon
>Kyoani gets a new building (Feb 2017)
>Koe no Katachi BD hitting the internet
>New Free to upset the fujohaters
>Financial data at around June to upset the 'but they're unsuccessful' fags.
>Violet Evergarden (I'm calling Fall 2017)

>>149458090
I believe Haruhi fans are actually pretty civil, they have experience in getting massively trolled by the studio itself.

You are outside your goddamn mind.

I like the manga, but if you're going to tell me that barebones excuse for a gag story is better than the anime then you're lying or insane. The best moments in the series are when they went off script and wrote new material.

Reminder that none of these girls and women would've existed if they went exactly by the book

And some notes:
-Kuzuha was mentioned very briefly in the LN, so with how much she was shown in the anime, might as well be an OC.
-Kumin appeared in the LN but only on the third volume which is way after the anime finished airing.

-I'm not sure whether Ninomiya, KnK's teacher, was in the novel or not, but she's probably OC since she didn't do much other than be the butt end of keki jokes. The other two were complete originals.

-All the OCs for Phantom were originals last I checked. Humanoid phantoms don't exist in the novels.

Only two characters on that chart would be a loss if they disappeared tomorrow. You're not making a good point here.

>>149458462
That was a hypothetical statement :^)

What's that new Free going to be about?

>>149458231
Koe no Katachi is bigger than Madoka and the three Kizu movies combined. By the time it reaches its 14th weekend it will surpass GaruPan.

Alright, let's get this done conclusively. Also I'd like other people to educate themselves in how an anime movie's success can be reasonably measured.

First, let's see how much the movie grosses in the pic. Koe is the yellow line, its latest data point supported by the following link http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/news/2016-10-31/kyoto-animation-a-silent-voice-sells-1.5-million-tickets-for-over-2-billion-yen/.108303.

As you can see it's surpassing K-ON! Movie (Kyoani's most successful film, until Koe) and well ahead on the curve against Madoka movie. And now I'll direct you to Koe no Katachi's official site (http://koenokatachi-movie.com/) near the bottom where 1) Kyoani's logo (as opposed to Shochiku's or Pony Canyon's) logo is the one placed at the bottom. 2) Kyoani is listed first in the production committee ordering, look at the bracketed part in 製作. What this means is that Kyoani shoulders the biggest risk in this project, and therefore gets the biggest slice of the profit pie, both from merchandising, screening and disk sales. I'd even go as far as to say that Koe is Kyoani's biggest moneymaker since Free S1.

To add, the movie has received various endorsements that includes: Japanese community of deaf people (http://otakuusamagazine.com/LatestNews/News1/Deaf-Japanese-Politician-Reviews-A-Silent-Voice-8307.aspx), Makoto Shinkai (I'm sure you've seen that one image), Mostly postive reviews from people who attended the SLA screening at Edinburgh (https://twitter.com/lovesanimation/status/789789723720052737), and the Japanese Ministry of Education itself (http://www.mext.go.jp/koenokatachi/), who will screen the movie at schools nationwide.

So I guess your definition of 'success' must've been on the scale of Your Name, which 95% of anime movies isn't.

By that logic Transformers is one of the best films in the west

This is one of those paths where suffering reaches its peak. I'll pick the shitty Sonic Tattoo world

Right, I did not adjust for inflation, since Japanese inflation is so fucking controlled it hardly even matters (ranges around -2% to +2% year on year, mean of +0.4% over a decade holy shit). Considering the oldest title in that chart is from 2009, I argue that inflation adjustment won't affect the standings.

Barring that, Koe still have a good number of weeks to accumulate numbers.

>>149458924
WorldofKJ has more recent data and Koe is already at 2.120Bil Yen surpassing Koe and is the top performer for Shochiku this year despite screening in only 84 screens nation wide.

>>149459143
K-On and Madoka had higher average ticket prices than KnK. That hardly even matters.
