Why can't it be both? Artists very often produce work based on things they find attractive, and they can produce breathtaking things, even for people who aren't interested in the same things, by doing so. It's a very personal inner world, that most importantly of all, isn't hurting anyone.

I see no value in attempting to control others like that.

>>150146826
I'm sorry but think I have to agree with that guy. It's just excuses and poor excuses at that..

I enjoy fanservice as much as the next guy, hell I'm probably a lolicon, but I still dislike it when there's no justification for it. I can still watch this show and think "wow that's quite a lot of unneeded fanservice, but whatever...", like it doesn't phase me one bit, obviously it's tittilating so you can't exactly argue that it's unpleasant to see it -

But I don't enjoy how I can't hold this show up and say "look at this, it's really fun and has great animation." I even have friends who are into anime who I would have difficulty sharing this show with.

We all have sexual urges and like to see sexy things, but you have to at least try to put up a pretense of not being a seedy fucker who wants to draw young girls in swimsuits just because it gets you off. There are so many examples of the animators just putting fanservice in cos they just want it there and it does get a bit tiring when it's clear it holds the industry back. Kill la Kill was the same, they just want to draw tits and the western fans bend over backwards trying to justify it as some sort of critique of fanservice. It was nothing of the sort. Even when you look at that MeMeMe! short that could actually claim to be a critique, it's still fucking half-baked and still seems like an excuse to draw tits. It's unconvincing.

The whole animator expo was full of it too. Like Takeshi Honda and Hiroyuki Okiura's shorts. They just did what they wanted so they made shorts full of tits with weak justification. Impeccably animated tits, but tits all the same. They lose their credibility and integrity because of this, regardless of their animation skill.

>>150148154
The post I'm replying to isn't, though. I'm not going to go to a thread that forked off the previous thread and reply to a post in THIS thread there just because it's more popular. Now I have to go to that thread and reply to that guy's same post from the previous thread. That's what'll happen if you start fucking posting your own posts multiple times in other threads just because you're desperate for people to see a post you made when a thread was in its twilight.

>>150148274
Well after that big post I made I saged the next post and this one.

>>150148257
Sure it does. Just doing whatever the fuck you like is poor reasoning for including something when you have an audience. If you don't at least try to conform to the notion of constructing a work with reason and substance, as I said, you lose credibility. Even the most avant garde filmmakers who make opaque impossible to understand shit, even when they make things that are clearly just the result of their tastes, they usually have at least some sort of solid reasoning for why it should be that way. I saw someone claim this episode is like this because Bu-chan is a pervert. That's fine, but what is the reason for Bu-chan being a pervert? It serves no purpose, it's just comic relief, so his perversion affecting a whole episode also serves no purpose.

>>150148585

>>150148622
>>150148641
Comic relief is relief. It's to relieve the tension of the main drama.

If you make the comic relief become the whole show, it's not relief anymore, it can only exist in bitesize form in order to serve its purpose. If you extrapolate an entire gag out to the full length of the whole episode, it's hardly a gag anymore, but rather the basis of the whole episode. You would hope for something like that to be important, not just a throwaway thing that is needlessly in your face for the whole runtime.

I'm repeating myself a lot here because I don't know how to make this any clearer.

>>150148883
>I don't know how to make this any clearer.
That's because it doesn't make sense in the first place.

If every Pure Illusion that Cocona and Papika enter has some relation to the real world/some character in the show, then who the fuck was responsible for the PI in Episode 5?

>>150149054
They specifically went out of their way to say that it's not necessarily one character, or even humans. This isn't really Psychonauts (except when it is such in ep 6, but that was obviously a special case).

Episode 5 might be Yayaka, or it might be the school. Or both.

>>150149054
It's not always a question of who. Sometimes it's related to a thing like a relationship or simply an idea. Episode 5 PI revolved around the idea of an all-girls school that makes the students progressively gayer but ultimately not paying off. It's related to the progression of Cocona's and Papika's relationship, but they actually managed to break the cycle and go beyond the loop of artificial homo.

Are we going to learn why Iroha can paint Pure Illusion? Or is that just going to be some kind of easter egg, like when characters hum their show's theme song? Because they were being pretty blatant about it.

I really hope we don't end up with a bunch of loose ends when the series is over.

>>150149237

>>150149376
>I really hope we don't end up with a bunch of loose ends when the series is over.

You will 100% end up with a bunch of loose ends by the end, this is not that kind of show.

And Iroha can paint Pure Illusion because Pure Illusion is the realm of imagination and creativity. It's not something she saw and is trying to recreate, it's because the painting and Pure Illusion are one and the same.

Did anyone else find it odd how Cocona did absolutely nothing during this fighting sequence?

She stood still while Papika fought, called out "behind you!" and "there's another one!" and didn't lift a finger to actually help. Yayaka intervened and helped Papika, but prior to that it was ostensibly 3v1.

They even give us a shot of Cocona standing there and she hasn't even called out her weapon to fight with. She was completely just spectating.

So Bu-chan got crushed by vagina?

>>150139316
Literally yes. One of the themes of this episode was awkward body sizes/uncomfortable spaces.

When people hit puberty, the growth spurt results in sudden and uneven changes to their dimensions. Teens find themselves feeling unfamiliar in familiar spaces, uncomfortable in previously comfortable positions, and feeling like they suddenly don't know the shape of their own bodies anymore. One of the significant ways in which this is manifested is the development of secondary sexual characteristics, particularly in women where the growth of their hips and butt can be awkward, particularly with regards to sitting positions they were accustomed to before puberty.

The "cockpits" of their mecha were essentially just the Thomasson in Flip Flap HQ that they use to enter PI, but shrunk down to the point where they couldn't fit into it comfortably. A familiar space suddenly made unfamiliar by the uncertain dimensions of their growing bodies.

You can consider this another facet of Cocona's confrontation with change from episode 6&7. She's now facing unavopidable change in the world around her that manifests in the way she fits into the environment, in the way she locates herself in the space around her and in how she finds her place in what was once familiar but now is changed. The emphasis on her body's dimensions, particularly her exaggerated butt and her size relative to the space around her, were physical representations of Cocona's conflicted feelings regarding the changes happening in her life (eg. iroha) and how she coped with them.

So, Cocona is Salt wife after all?

>>150152551
by her tight space, yeah.

For those complaining about the fanservice, you do realize modesty/immodesty is one of the ways they're showing Cocona's Yin and Papika's Yang, right? Which is pretty important given that the Yin/Yang contrast between the two is a central theme. It's not gratuitous.

I you examine it closely you'll see there's only about 1/3 of a screen's worth of Cocobutt. They could have fit more ass there, but shot composition in this show really has some thought behind it.

Did you read the quote in the OP image? That's what's being referred to. I know people go into a rage when anything about FLFL is criticized. I love the show too. But I'm obviously not the only one who feels the writing has gotten weaker in the last two episodes.

I don't think it's that Yuniko was an amazing writer or anything. Episode 4 is one of my favourites and she didn't write that one. It's just these last two episodes were sort of blah.

>>150170675

The animation is so awkward. I felt it from the first episode but it's really bad now. It looks like a bad imitation of typical webgen shit. Cuts feel disconnected from one another, sometimes it's impossible to keep track of what's going on because of perspective changes every 2 seconds with low-detail animation that destroys the surroundings. Mob Psycho had the same problems sometimes but nowhere close to the extent of Floppers. 4/10

To elicit a response from the viewer in the form of a subconscious desire to provide comfort to the actor. If instead a viewer finds such fictional contexts problematic, then it elicits a response in the form of discomfort. Maybe the creators just think it's cute.

His behavior is what counts.

He was chill with being called Occhan, he helped the flip flaps defeat the monsters, he helped Yayaka come to terms with her feelings of protectiveness for others, he snatched the gem away from the monotone twins, he was chill with parts of his city getting destroyed and even used that event to help Cocona come to terms with the fact that people change and it's not always a bad thing.

Animation and visual direction are great and all, but the overall direction feels really mediocre.
Outside of the spooky episode, almost all of the other episodes weren't that exciting.

The PI was Hidaka's and Bu-chan's. Hidaka was pretty much Pops and the evil robot was Bu-chan, evidenced by him being broken after it was all over. Nothing changed in the real world. Some people will try to tell you that Sayuri changed, but they don't know basic human interaction.

>>150180837
I don't think excitement is what they want, let alone need, in every episode. I don't see that as evidence of "mediocre" direction. Episodes 3, and 8 were definitely exciting even if you didn't feel it. Even 1 and 2 had high tension at times.

>>150180837
The PI was essentially a manifestation of the relationship between Hidaka(creator) and Bu(creation). Some suggest that the huge monster destroying the city was an exaggeration of Sayuri pressuring Hidaka to clean up his shit. I maintain the impression that Pops was a manifestation of the 2 sides of Hidaka. He has a similar color scheme shown in pic related. Since Hidaka programs him, Bu is essentially an extension of himself and behaves the way he wants him to. Bu has demonstrated himself to be quite a pervert, so it's not crazy to think Hidaka is one as well. He just hides it around people and uses Bu as an outlet.

Kill yourself.

>>150181338
My personal evidence of mediocre direction is that none of the scenes are really that gripping. We had plenty of emotional scenes but they felt really mediocre. The fun scenes didn't feel as fun as they should've been as well.
The director is new, right? I know they are going for more episodic showcases of visual direction but the narrative feels so sporadic between episodes.

>>150181534
The director is still the same and he will stay.

>>150181534
>My personal evidence of mediocre direction is that none of the scenes are really that gripping. We had plenty of emotional scenes but they felt really mediocre. The fun scenes didn't feel as fun as they should've been as well.
You're not doing a very good job at explaining this

>>150181338
Regarding real world changes, the PI brain planet gets damaged by the mecha beam and we later see Bu breaking down. Perhaps it's a coincidence, perhaps not. It would seem that Hidaka also got rid of all the boxes that were cluttering up his station space and frustrating Sayuri.. She noticed that he stopped being such a possessive manchild and offered to make him tea, which she refused to do at the start of the episode.

>>150181338
I want them to talk to Hidaka about what happened in that PI for some reason. I don't know why-- seems like such a mundane thing, but it just seems like it'd give some nice context to the characters.

Also it would make sense. Cocona always wanted to ask Iro about her nail polish since she feels somewhat responsible for what happened. She may want to check in with Hidaka, if she has any idea that PI had anything to do with him, to make sure he's OK with it.

>>150181569
Basically scenes with obvious build up fall flat all the time, almost every episode. I'm guessing it's because of the director.

>>150181534
>none of the scenes are really that gripping
I'd say that's a matter of taste. I haven't been this gripped by an anime in a decent while. This season in particular has nothing else remotely as enjoyable in my opinion. The narrative is definitely limited, but I like the fact that the show is far more interpretive and referential than expository.

>>150181740
For a claim like that you have to give examples.

>>150178321
This is a bad imitation of someone intelligent

>>150181789
>I like the fact that the show is far more interpretive and referential than expository
I think I know what you're saying, but whut?

Are you talking about how it just shows you things and lets you make your own connections? If so, I'm 100% with you there.

Anime, even really good anime, seems to explain way too much.

>>150181740
Like episodes 3 and 8 that had an amazing climax? Like episode 6 with its incredibly focused narrative? And heck, even 1 and 2 are very climactic, if anything you could criticize the opposite, the lack of buildup.

Why did the writer change?

>>150181845
Like for example, people are going nuts over the fact that Bu was broken after this PI, wondering whether he was damaged in the PI world, or if his damage comes from the girls having fallen on him.

A normal anime would have taken a few minutes to explain "Oh no, we fell on him and now he's damaged!" or "Oh no, he's suddenly damaged out of nowhere! He must have taken metaphysical damage in PI!"

In the end, it doesn't matter at all to the story. It's a peripheral detail that can be safely cropped out of our tight, focused narrative picture.

In the end, stories are about imparting emotions, not about imparting collections of fictional facts.

>>150181790
Like the first time they went into Pure Illusion. It was a really well done episode, visually, but in my opinion it didn't quite convey the atmosphere. And Cocoa's transition between being completely against it and enjoying it felt awkward, like when they pulled transformations out of nowhere.

>>150181789
Goes without saying that it's a matter of taste. Though I do sympathize that I do find this season not really gripping in general. Both Euphonium and Natsume have been disappointing so far, and I'm only really enjoying Time Bokan. If I had to say what anime grips me the most, it would be Nyanbo.
Waiting warmly for KnK
Flip Flap is definitely less expository which is a good thing in my opinion but I also find the interactions between the leads really stale.

>>150182102
>In the end, stories are about imparting emotions, not about imparting collections of fictional facts.
That's a really good way of putting it.

>>150182116
So is it
>didn't quite convey the atmosphere
or
>scenes with obvious build-up fall flat
?

>>150182116
>Both Euphonium and Natsume have been disappointing
oh come on fuck off

>>150182116
>And Cocoa's transition between being completely against it and enjoying it felt awkward
We've been over this before. A lot of people think they just implied that transition, Cocona gradually getting comfortable with Papika and wacky adventures, because it would take too long to explicitly show that happening.

I wouldn't mind at all a few extra episodes that tell these early stories, showing how their relationship grew in its early stages, but the truth of the matter is that other anime has done that already. We pretty much intuitively know how it all unfolded.

>>150181845
>it just shows you things and lets you make your own connections
Yeah that's what I was talking about. Rather than thinking about why we are being shown these strange worlds and what the lasting effect will be from the characters' meddling, I like think about the inspiration for what we see. Is there something that exists outside this show that the creators are referencing? Do these references have a particular meaning that could be related to the show's themes or characters? Instead of giving you a narrative that has a specific end result, the show gives you questions that may not have any answer. It makes you think about the possibilities rather than the objective truth. I hope that makes some sense. It's difficult to express my thoughts about this show clearly.

>>150181792
This is a good imitation of someone dumb.

guess if i say "mediocre" a lot do you think eventually someone will believe me

>>150182203
Building up the atmosphere and having Papika's suicide run falling flat emotionally :^)

>>150182221
I haven't watched Eupho past the episode that was half reused animation so I don't know how it's doing now, but Natsume is veering away from weekly youkai stuff for the weaker exorcist stuff and it's gotten pretty boring.

>>150182222
I wasn't in the threads for that, but really the reason they gave for Cocona going back (at first to protect Papika, and now she finds it fun) felt like mere reasons, a small effort that somewhat works but isnt well thought out. I find it difficult to really feel their motivation to go into Pure Illusion.

>>150182448
Cocona never had any motivation until this episode. She just goes with the flow, it's part of her initial depressed character who has no direction in life.

I'd go into wacky adventures with no reason too.

>>150182448
We don't know exactly what's going on in Papika's head yet.

Cocona does it to be with Papika, and because it's fun. After she found out it had real consequences, she had to take an episode and a half to come to the conclusion that there were things inside of PI worth protecting.

>>150182222
I'd like to add that each girl saved the other's life so that could speed up a relationship quite a bit. Cocona probably feels a responsibility to watch over Papika while Papika is very eager to go to PI with her. Getting to PI the first time was with Cocona, so she likely grew attached thanks to that. She's more aware of the danger thanks to Cocona, but she feels like they will protect each other when things get rough.

Also, the problem with the suicide run, if there was anything, was that the stakes were some as of now irrelevant glasses. That's more of a writing thing I'd say, the scenes themselves were well done. People by ep1 were speculating that the glasses had some undisclosed significance, like being a memento from her parents or something like that, but it was never brought up again (and if they try to bring it up at this point it'd feel awkward imo)

>>150182819
We don't understand Papika's motivations. She's pretty much explicitly a fay, if the ending is anything to go by.

>>150182819
In a way it showed how abnormal Papika is. Cocona was worried about her glasses and Papika immediately chases after the monstrous creatures with no concern for her own well being. She's a drone that follows orders or tries to please her master. The insignificance of the glasses only exaggerates how easily Papika would risk her life just because she was told to or thought she should. There's still a chance she isn't even (entirely)human.

This show is hollow and contrived.

thank you for correcting the record

It's because the tension is manufactured. It doesn't feel true because nothing makes sense inside PI.

Don't you understand? He is too mature for this show and already knows who wins the important and serious fights.

>>150183926
yes

>>150183528
>tension is manufactured
This is true for literally anything fictional. The aspects of a work of fiction are manufactured by the creators. You might say that tension comes naturally as a result of good writing, characters, plot, or whatever. It's still manufactured by the creator. You could argue that the tension doesn't FEEL natural and that's a fair point, but this doesn't seem to be the kind of show that relies on realism or natural progression.

It has hardcore fans that everyone else despises.

Generally they are trannies.

I really dislike the web-gen approach to animating explosions. It just looks like fucking shit.

>>150183528
I felt shot to shot the directing/storyboarding was pretty clumsy in this episode. Episode 3 was an insane sakugafest too but didn't suffer with any unclear direction like this one did.

>>150187722
You could at least provide an example if you want anyone to take your worthless opinion even remotely seriously.

I'm referring to the majority of the explosions in the latest, particularly explosion-heavy episode of Flip Flappers. I would have thought that was obvious, did you really need me to illustrate what I meant? We are all here talking about Flip Flappers, right?

The first couple of explosions they appeared to try to make them resemble an explosion as we would expect them to look, you know, so we can recognise them as explosions, but pretty quickly they become just formless orange blobs. It's symptomatic of not drawing with lines, but instead just using a fat digital brush. They give up on even attempting to describe any sort of form with it. It's just expanding, poorly in-betweened blobs.

>>150186786
Really? This is what you got from that post? Why do I have the impression that /a/ is full of by shallow minded teenagers?

>>150181534
FliFla really don't want to be serious business.

Would more realistic explosions match the environmental style of this PI?

This misplaced hostility doesn't add any value to your posts, especially when that's all they offer. Why not go outside and just scream at a passerby, since noise is all you're capable of in place of conversation.

>>150188775
? No, that's quite different. It's just /a/ being /a/

The other thread is pure cancer

>>150187722
It's a pale imitation of Norio Matsumoto and Satoru Utsunomiya's simplified approach towards drawing effects.

>>150188376
>in the latest, particularly explosion-heavy episode
You should have said this or specified with that screen shot to begin with. I agree that the explosions are pretty average. That one in particular is definitely bad. It doesn't bother me to the point that I feel the need to bash it anonymously. I don't mind somewhat shittier explosions if it means greater attention to other areas like character animation.

>>150188775
I won't speak for the others, but the original post >>150187722 that I replied to here >>150187945 isn't particularly valuable. It's just noise.

>>150188376
I don't mind this very simplified style but when the animation itself isnt very good then it isnt a worthwhile tradeoff in detail.

>>150188925
>the quality of the posts is extremely important for the community

>>150188886
Yeah, via Shingo Yamashita, I would think. He started doing that formless outlineless stuff in Birdy Decode, like the fight at the end of S2 when trying to convey speed. In a way I agree with that approach, fast movement, if you were to try to give the effect of motion blur, would result in the loss of the black outlines, so it's kinda like the opposite of what you see Wolfsmoke really fucking overdo in their animations, with black speedlines fucking everywhere. So in that way it makes sense, but since the Japanese web-gen don't even use lines to animate, just fat blobbly brushwork, the draftsmanship is lost.

>>150187796
That's actually a valid complaint. I found the action scenes, though well animated, pretty hard to follow. The two big fights in episode 3 had a better flow.

>>150188622
This thread has far less posters than the other one, despite being up not as long, OP. If anything, this is a circle jerk continuously bumped when reaching page 10.

>>150189129
I have a feeling a lot of these animators don't really think in scenes, just in cuts.

Which is why I consider it so damaging when sites like sakugabooru just present you with fucking soundless gifs of single cuts, you need sound and editing to make a scene work, not 298953 keyframes and effects.

>>150188957
>You should have said this or specified with that screen shot to begin with.
Did I really need to that much? I'm sorry but I'm posting about explosions in a Flip Flappers thread that was one of many in a weird hurried mess to post new threads immediately after the release of a new episodes. If you can't infer from my post that I'm talking about the explosions in the latest episode of Flip Flappers then I don't know what to say. I said what I said assuming that we had all seen the episode and all of its explosions.

And my admittedly brief post saying I don't like those explosions, you may just think it's noise and holds no value, I didn't dedicate myself to expanding on my opinion because I thought, us all here having presumably seen the episode and understanding that I was talking about the explosions in it, would at least have an inkling of why I feel this way about them even if you don't agree. You forced me to expand on my opinion anyway.

At least what I had to say was an opinion about the contents of the show. All those other posts I quoted there seem to be nothing much but "you're shit, your opinion sucks, you should shut up and go away". That's hardly a discussion and its even less of a discussion about Flip Flappers.
