This thing about filtered background is so stupid. Even if it was true which it isn't, they still look great, besides, Kyoani has to take shortcuts somewhere since they do most production in-house, cut them some slack, they don't get to outsource all backgrounds to 10 different companies like any other anime studio.

Maidragon will have watercolor backgrounds so stop your bitching.

>>151745850

Well, you could call them Kyoani's successes
The few images of the K-on source material that I ever watched looks nothing like kyoani's version, so they moe'd the fuck of that one.

haruhi was considered by some the hot shit in its time, but no one outside the rabid fanbase consider this a good anime. did It put some spotlight into kyoani? Yes.

>the other one
I dont know that one

The only thing that I unironically and unapollogetically like from them as a production is Amagi Brilliant Park and Nichijou

I wonder if was their idea to put those ridiculous prices in Nichijou's BD's.

KyoAni's photography is several notches above the rest. No shortcuts here.

>>151744137
That picture is kinda sad. It's like they know the audience is too stupid to notice

looks a lot like a blurred photograph with an added car to make it look like it was all drawn.

>>151744137
Is there a hentai studio equivalent to KyoAni? I just want a hentai that has great animation. I'd ask for a big budget hentai but nobody wants to be known as "the guy who worked on that hentai with a big budget" so I guess I'm asking for too much from the nips.

You are doing the anime equivalent of telling a good player to stop hacking. Because you can be proven wrong and then all your stupidity does is just show how good you think Kyoani is.

the picture is sad because it's somebody else's drawing and doesn't match what they actually look like

I'm just really suspicious at how good it is, if it's actually drawn, that would genuinly impress me

>>151747072
If you bothered to look at the bottom half of the image, you'd see it's blatantly not a photograph. The blur might be obnoxious, but that's no reason to say stupid things.

The Ikedas are so bad, can they fuck off and take Ishihara with them?

It's mostly just to get the bare minimum amount of sales then flip another LN where KyoAni can follow their same formula. When they make a mistake, they have series to fall back on (Phantom World was awful > Hibike s2).

Even then their animation style from a visual perspective ONLY isn't as good as Sunrise or even ufotable.

I can see how it could seem that way after Euphonium. That show was literally one giant polished turd. I honestly believe someone at Kyoani went through a midlife crisis or perhaps some "adult" made fun of what they did for a living and they felt the need to turn to shit just to satisfy and get a nod from some old assholes who don't even watch anime. Hopefully they see a psychiatrist and get over that shit fast and go back to doing things that are FUN

Gustavo?

I typically watch KyoAni shows because they always have good visual direction. You can complain about backgrounds to your heart's content but at the end of the day they're just that: backgrounds. Sure, it can be distracting, but when I look at a show's visuals I look at character animation, framing, shot composition, fluidity of motion, the pace of the editing, all things that KyoAni do consistently far better than any other studio. Even if they are entirely hard-drawn I would agree that the detail of the backgrounds and the awkward way in which less detailed characters are pasted on can look dreadful in wide shots (>>151745850) but otherwise I think the studio showcases a level of animation and features a directorial staff with such vision that completely surpasses anything else in the industry.

With that said a lot of their shows recently have been shit and that includes this complete shit that's going to air next season.

What did he mean by this?

>>151748913
>>151748948
I dunno, it's not what I go to KyoAni to see. All that I gush about with the visual direction is kind of lost on this silly show about dragon maids. If it were Doga Koba making it I think I would be hype but the only good shows KyoAni have made since Nichijou have survived on their grounded dramatic elements (Tamako Market/Love Story, Free!, Hibike) and the more fantasy orientated stuff has been disappointing.

Also we're talking about a show directed by the guy whose most recent contribution to KyoAni was Amagi Brilliant Park, and I would be hard-pressed to find something worse that the studio has produced.

>>151746379
I liked hyouka

>>151745850
I'm usually a big fan of KyoAni's background work and the work the photography department puts into the photographic effects, but there can sometimes be a problem where they'll overdo it a bit or mess up the balance. In photography if you have enough of one thing, it usually means you can only get so much of another. You can argue that it's intentional, they're creating these pictures from the ground up, so there's no reason to adhere to the physical limits of photography, or that they meant for it to be realistic and they were just being absent minded...

In this shot I would argue the focal blur is too much. It ought to be about half as much. If they wanted the extreme bokeh, then the perspective of the shot, which is fairly ordinary looking, would have to be more flattened out because you would need to be much further away using a more extreme telephoto lens

>Kumiko and Reina are adapted
>Asuka is original
Is it right to say that? On the book covers she's still a tall, beautiful girl with long black hair and red glasses. If your definition of "adapted" allows for them to not literally be exactly the same (which is obviously the case), then Asuka is still an adapted design, unlike Taki for example, whose descriptions they threw out, choosing instead to model him on the new actor for Q from Skyfall.

They toned down her elegant looks because they felt it jibes with how much she goofs around, but that's it, it's only a subtle change, her design is still adapted.

>>151749170
You sound like a fucking faggot.

>>151749591

You should hang out at Reddit or MAL. I think you'll fit right in with the community over there.

That's, you know, your opinion? But humor me, how was it ruined with "crappy filters"?

Is your pea brain capable of comprehending that color palette sets the tone and atmosphere for the picture?

Let me answer your intellectual intelligence by saying that you're actually fucking dumb.

GodAni is so good at replicating the japanese urban environment. They do it better than anyone else. It's no wonder their shows feel so much more alive.

That colour palette looks like piss.
Even real life >>151755732 looks better.
But since you're acting like you know what you're talking about, explain how that particular colour palette sets the correct tone and atmosphere for the picture?

>>151756483
What an empty response. You might as well have not posted.

>>151756572
In other words, you have nothing to say to backup up your point.
Good job.

Why do you keep giving that retard attention

Yeah sure dude.
The real point here is that even if Kyoani uses filters or blurry effects, why the overreaction? It looks good in my eyes. The warm filter provides a comfy atmosphere, or even it's useful for sunsets or evening enviroments. And hey, all the studios use them.

You cannot honestly believe this. What /a/ thinks is good is not the same as what the rest of the world thinks is good. Not that it is a bad thing; just don't say Kon is the most influential anime of the decade.

>>151759488
Why would he not believe the truth?

>>151754923
What is this about?

>>151759488
K-On! is very popular in Japan.

>>151759488
Just because you don't like it doesn't mean it isn't the most influential anime of the decade.

But I watch anime for the lesbian little girl versions of real life aces, who fight in panties against aliens that look like nazi superweapons and prototype planes, with occasional stories that have real life relevancies in them. And the CGI versions of ships like the POW or the Akagi.

Robot Heart Update will likely get an anime first because it's getting a second book but it's a romcom too.

>>151759753
Not him, but even dragonball super is more influential

Nice projection.

>>151759988
Violet is the first one getting an anime. And by the way the last Comicket went, KyoAni would be retarded if they don't release Archery Boys anime in 2017 or early 2018.

>>151761196
I meant before Manzai.

It'll probably go
Violet -> RHU -> Archery Boys

Gou best girl.
