Disappearance, but they never did anything good after that.

Disappearance of Haruhi.
Other contender : Clannad AS.
Especially not Hyouka.

Azushitter joined in season 1, you retard.

Azushitter was added so she could be left behind, and so we could all cry. A lot.

Tamako love story.
I love disappearance like everybody else but TLS was just so good.

>>150216083
But there was less of her in season 1, making season 1 better

K-On!!

>>150216125
She was in half of season 1.

Season 1 was pretty dull front to back. It really didn't get good until season 2 started.

>>150216163
It's weird this is the general opinion about k-on. I really loved S1 and Yui's character development. It felt more genuine whatever that means.

>>150216163
This.
S2 was when KyoAni started adding their own things and take more liberties in the adaptation, making it more than a bland 4komas.

>>150216277
Yui's character development was definitely the highlight of S1, but she shines a lot in S2, being all grown up and senpaitachi with the others.

I think K-On! and Nichijou are good, the rest varies but is never great. Silent Voice might be great, VEG and Maidragon will be bad.

>>150216277
I take back what I said about it being dull.

K-on! Starts out feeling like a very cookie cutter slice of life, and over time it finds its footing and becomes something special.

I initially hated Azusa, feeling that she just brought negetivity to the group. Though I will never forget how I felt when watching S2E13, when Azusa realizes she'll be left behind. Every moment from then on was like a ticking time bomb, up until episode 20.

Azusa ain't too bad, she's a bit of a mcguffin, at least she's cute.

Fucking Jun on the other hand. Fucking. Jun.

Kyoani would be a mediocre studio with a good business practice if it weren't for Yamada.

>>150217622
Hopefully Silent Voice turns out well. I think Yamada's good but I haven't been impressed since Keion.

>>150217682
Its Yamada/Yoshida
If it isn't at least amazing I'll be sorely disappointed.

>>150217718
So was Tamako though, that was pretty far below "amazing" in my opinion. Silent Voice seems to be doing well at festivals though, so I'm more optimistic.

KyoAni's my favorite studio but it really feels like it's being held up by Yamada. Hopefully VEG is on par with Koe.

>>150217771
I know a lot of people didn't think very highly of Market (I did though) but a lot of people do love Love Story.
Euphonium's S2 has less Yamada and I feel like it really suffers from it.

>>150217779
Pretty stoked for VEG. Maid Dragon looks like it will be pretty forgettable though.

>>150217952
Love Story is okay, I think it's held back by some ties to the show and the whole project would've been better if they'd started with this in mind. Eupho is pretty stupid throughout both seasons with some glimpses of brilliance here and there. Why are you stoked for Violet Evergarden?

>>150218019
I see people love Love Story namely because it did cut some ties from the show (namely Dera). What I loved about Love Story though is that it was the climax and culmination of Tamako's character. In the TV show, you only get glimpses of how much her mom's death affected her, and Love Story is when she finally fully moves on from it.

Eupho, in my opinion, is mostly mediocre with a few glimpses of brilliance (namely the mountain climbing and umakunaritai scene). We haven't really seen anything on that level yet in S2 (I haven't seen the past couple episodes though).
>Why are you stoked for Violet Evergarden?
Looks comfy desu, and I love comfy supernatural.

Hyouka is a masterpiece and the best looking TV anime ever with their most down to earth characters and experimentation.

eupho by far faggots

>>150218217
Yeah, I like that about TLS too. I think it's a fine movie.

>>150218262
It was a bit too stupid for me, and I didn't like the characters. Pretty though, but best looking ever? I also wouldn't say it's experimental.

>>150218262
Hyouka is about an autistic girl forcing people to be autistic with her until the audience falls asleep

>>150218355
I like it for the same reason I like Evangelion desu

>>150217952
Looking forward to Maidragon, but more as a 'fun' show. Violet appeals to me more because I prefer personal shows though. Plus the available chapter was a nice read, can't wait to see how it's adapted.
>>150218217
>We haven't really seen anything on that level yet in S2
The Mizore/Nozomi resolution and concert were brilliant. Some good character moments here and there too.

>>150218534
I thought the first episode was really great and that resolution was good too, but the concert scene was mostly reused animation and felt like a waste of time. Overall still a decent episode though.

>>150218623
No it wasn't. That concert had more new scenes than the entire concert in the first season finale.

>>150215770
Haruhi and Hibikek! overall.
Hyouka looks astonishing but the plot and characters are retarded.

>>150218262
I couldn't keep it up, it was very slow

>>150218534
The resolution was good because the THREE EPISODES SPENT ON IT were finally fucking over.

Season 2 is the epitome of padding.

>>150218702
I wasn't counting, but it sure as hell felt like it.

>>150219321
Nah the resolution was good, we could've gotten something overly dramatic between Mizore and the other girl but instead we got Mizore going "oh I was autistic all the time sorry bros" and proving Asuka's overprotectiveness wrong

>>150220683
Yes. I saw it at the Leeds film festival.

>>150220734
Loved it. The ending was a little disappointing, I would have liked to see Shouya reconcile with his old buddies from middle school and not just Ueno (needless to say the ending is significantly different from the manga). Also, goes without saying, but it was fucking beautiful.

>>150221053
This. It's weird, Shaft used to be my favorite and Kyoani my least favorite, but now it's switched.

>>150221315
>I would have liked to see Shouya reconcile with his old buddies from middle school
Ah so they're still in it? I was of the opinion that it'd have been better to cut them completely, since even in the manga they do fuck-all. Still very excited for it, I hope it comes to Canada so I can see it in theatres.

They should've expanded on that role then, or given it to Shiori (a character more suited to the passive observer kinda thing) instead of making her the kwerky carpentry girl for most of the series.

>>150222772
That's the 'regret' part. Or more specifically, the part where Tomoya chose to keep cherishing the life he had despite all the suffering and losses he experienced. It makes no sense without that VN subplot but thematically it somehow works (for me at least).
Still a bit of a letdown, but hey. Doesn't make the rest worthless, not all the season is about death.

ftfy

>>150223101
KyoAni never made a good show after K-On either

>>150223001
From what I understand (I never read the VN) helping people creates a dragonball (going down each route), and once you collected enough you get the "good" ending in which Nagisa survives.

In context of the VN, it works. But in the anime its a huge asspull that doesn't make senses in context of the anime. You get a bit of a infodump on it from the genius girl and you see one after Tomoya makes up with his father but it doesn't make up for literal magic bullshit that brings Nagisa back to life. Ushio dying was really retarded as well.

>>150223119
Not until Tanigawa stops drowning in royalties and writes a new LN to get motivate marketers to adapt the rest.
We could get a 2 cour season and one or two movies if it wasn't for that.

>>150223080
The ending is literally the definition of forced drama, tomoya after so many years finally got a relationship with his daughter, he understood what happened with his dad and forgive him, everything was getting better in his life until for some reason he kills his daughter.

>>150223142
>>150223158

and yeah it's pretty forced, anime should have stopped before that but the deus ex ending at least balanced things

>But in the anime its a huge asspull that doesn't make senses in context of the anime
But it is? The magic spheres are a thing during the whole anime and are explained long before (I don't remember the episodes number), it wasn't an "asspull" by any meaning. Just accept that there is magic in this world and some things don't need an explanation, things happen and what is important are the characters, which are perfectly done while facing the situations presented in the show. I say that since most if not all the complains about the show are about the "magic" at the end of the show.

>>150216672

Not the biggest fan of Key novels but did you seriously not see the ending coming from a mile away or all the hints dropped throughout both seasons?

Back when I first watched it Clannad had the most impact on me and made me want to take over the family business and value those close to me more. K-On was cuteness overload. I'd say those are KyoAni's best shows.

It's beyond bad, it's plain awful.

Disappearance and Nichijou

Saying how the kanji in Haruhiko's, Mai's, Reina's, and Koito's names all have fire and water related characters, and when you put together the kanji for fire and water, it can be read "kami", and "kami" also means "God". So that person is saying that from the start it was hinted that the four of them were facing a godlike enemy. This may have been true for the novel but I think it's a stretch for the anime. First of all because they did some pretty vigorous mental gymnastics to even get the "water" and "fire" out of their names, then it was bullshit how they got "kami" out of it, the "enemy" part came out of nowhere, Kurumi doesn't come into play (since she wasn't in the ln), and Enigma isn't godlike in the first place. Maybe the author intended it more like "a godlike team" instead of "defeating godlike foes". However, that person also linked to an image of edgy Haruhiko so they were probably talking specificaly about the novel, and Haruhiko's powerup mode was involved.

I'd love a sequel, hope this means it won't turn into a powerlevel creep for the show. 'bout the same way why I like Railgun more than Index.

Doubt it'll get a sequel, but he's writing another LN.

>>150231665
Yup. In the novel the enemy or the main villain is actually God himself as the ultimate imaginary being/phantom common to all mankind.

But Amagi was good though. Despite the budget, it was a fun show with a solid and improved story.

>Despite the budget
what?

>>150233896

It was clearly a budget constrained show.

It had too much stills and the quality only ramped up past the middle of the season.

>>150233984
what was its budget?

K-on, hands down.

>>150233308
I had a lot of issues with Amagi. It had some good comedic timing though.
