How much value do you put into visual direction?

A lot. I'm a KyoAnifag.

Those shots are fucking awful, there's no visual symbolism in them, and they look like cheap trash.

>>149990939
Visual direction doesn't necessarily mean visual symbolism.

>>149989014

Almost none, as long as story and/or characters are interesting, I watch anything.

>>149991002

In fact, I'd say the two are very different.

A lot. I'm a White Fox fag.

None. I'm blind.

>>149991718
I don't think so.

>>149991793
their visual direction is always uninspired shit though

>>149990939
Eva was so good.

>>149991671
Why don't you just read books instead of watching anime, then?
Checkmate, atheist.

>>149989014
Sangatsu does not have good visual direction. It may be pretty, but it is not necessarily good. Several shots are useless. Serve more to beautify the scene than to help the narrative.

>>149991671
Do you just download the subtitle files and read them?

>>149989014
If you're talking about pretentious abstract backgrounds the characters pay no notice none. It's just a pretty frame to distract you from the show it doesn't add to it.

>>149989014
The top 2 pictures remind me somehow of Welcome to the NHK

>It's just a pretty frame to distract you from the show it doesn't add to it
If it makes the show more aesthetic or even manages to create a certain mood I do think it adds something to the show.

how can SHAFT and EVA compete?

>>149991930

I do.

You can have plenty of symbolism and shit direction.

You can have a straightforward shot devoid of symbolism that's well composed

>>149992033

I'm not sure how that's poor direction, we're talking about a visual medium here.

I don't see visual direction as a separate entity. Cinematography is in charge of visual communication. It can be as symbolic or literal as possible and it would still be part of the visual direction. It can be masterfully or poorly done, but it's still cinematography.

Best visual direction anyone has ever seen + boring or bad characters and story = a bad show.

Being just beautiful is not enough, it has to have meaning. We're talking about visual storytelling, not just paintings on a wall.

there's a wider range of emotions found in this webm than you'll find in any other anime scene

it is literally the greatest shot of all time

i have seen better range of emotions in bible black

>>149994171

sasuke is one of the most complex and well developed characters in anime history
