Last but not least, the interview with yoh yoshinari:
animeanime.jp/article/2016/12/26/31933.html
Interview with Yoshinari. Details:
>They decided to start from Akko's arrival to the school to work on the world building and the mysteries of Luna Nova. He felt that the world in the movies felt a bit small and wants to expand it.
>One of the reasons he decided to do a TV series over more movies is that there are many things he wants to do. For example, in a movie the focus would always be around Akko but in a TV series he can even give focus to characters like Amanda or Constance.
>Even if Yoshinari tried to trim it for a TV series, they still ended up having a large amount of unique mob characters on screen.
>Yoshinari wants to make a show for kids that can be enjoyed by adults because Trigger has done nothing of the sort.
>In terms of the story, he wants to balance surprising developments and delivering on the audience expectations. He mentions Gurren-Lagann as contrast, because Gurren-Lagann was a show that followed the usual pattern of super-robot anime.
>He picked Hori as main animator because Hori is someone that can animate magical creatures and make them feel real. He says that drawing magic is easy but drawing magic that feels real is harder.
>In terms of the feel, they're aiming for something that combines the feel of a Japanese magical girl anime with the more classical foreign image of a wizard (like in Lord of the Rings or Merlin from the Arthur legend)
>He hopes to be able to make the characters interesting and deep in the long term.
I haven't been paying attention, is this going to be on Netflix?
So close.
>>151752951
Yeah.
>>151752951
Yes, but lets hope a sub group picks it up
>>151752930
>Yoshinari wants to make a show for kids that can be enjoyed by adults
i don't like the sound of this, so its gonna be u?
>>151753053
I have absolutely no idea what sort of logic you used to reach this conclusion.
>>151753086
show for kids
>>151753053
I am going to marry this witch!
>>151753116
i mean U rating.
>>151753150
Okay,Akko.
>>151753154
Yeah, it's going to be family friendly. Just like the OVAs.
Say thanks to based Yoh
>confirmed no yuri
>confirmed no romance except maybe boy crushes
This is going to be sogood
>>151753154
Then it's going to be family friendly like the the first and second movies.
>>151752853
>[YouTube] Little Witch Academia (2017) Trailer (embed)
I think you messed up
>>151753225
>boy crushes
I want this, it makes everything extra cute.
>>151752853
>sucy in a kimono
>>151752853
Are you people really excited for another quality trigger anime?
>>151752853
Threadly reminder.
>>151753225
That is absolutely not confirmed. It's not even been addressed. Why would it have been?
>>151752853
I'm going to watch the LWA stuff that's already out today, what am I in for?
>>151752853
I made a mistake here's the first two ova'sfucking 4chanx

>>151753280
>>151753263
>tfw you will never be a cute boy living near the academia, meeting sexy boy-starved witches on regular basis
why do I even bother with this world
>>151753316
I mean pv's,
I swear im going retard with each passing day on this fucking site
>>151753313
Two OVAs titled "Little Witch Academia."
>>151753277
Yoshinari and Imaishi have very different sensibilities when it comes to anime. I don't know why you're expecting him to make the same thing Imaishi would.
>that linking
WEW LAD
>>151753313
First ova is near perfection. It's a treat, it's like you bought a meal that you thought sounded great when you saw it on the menu, received the meal and left very satisfied.
Second isn't as good but if you liked the setting and characters of the first one then you'll probably like this movie as well.
>>151753280
I want an episode where Luluco walks in on Lotte and Akko raping Nova-kun
>>151752896
>Imaishit is nowhere to be seen
Good
>>151753441
You're in for a surprise.
It's his studio, motherfucker.
>>151753441
He did KA on ep 3 and he's storyboarding at least one episode.
>>151752853
Sorry but I don't watch anime with Finns in it.
>>1517533934chanxis fucked my shit, forgive me anon
>>151753378
The two LWA movies/ovas are filled with quality reminiscent of KLK and the minimalistic and cartoony style is very similar. There is no reason not to expect similar levels of quality from the LWA series.
>LWA1 debuts at Anime Expo
>LWA1 is positively received, Kickstarter for LWA2 is set up
>LWA2 Kickstarter is a big success
>LWA2 debuts
>LWA2 is positively received
>Trigger announces LWA television anime
>LWA TV will be on Netflix
>Yoshinari interview adds to the hype
[You are here]
>shitposters and false flaggers raise the excitement to unrealistically high expectations like with Kill la Kill before it aired
>LWA TV debuts
>of course it doesn't meet the unrealistically high expectations
>LWA TV is positively received by normalfags and becomes more mainstream
>LWA series becomes hated by /a/
>>151753535
>The two LWA movies/ovas are filled with quality reminiscent of KLK
Such as?
>>151753476
>Imaishi
>storyboarding
Is this bizarro Trigger?
Also, as long as they don't let him withing 10 feet of the director chair I'm fine
>>151753535
>implying there was a single episode of KLK that looked as good as LWA for more than a minute
Ha ha, delusion
>>151753677
Episode 5 looked really good and I would say it was on par with the first LWA OVA
Just that episode though
>>151752930
>give focus to characters like Amanda
>>151753535
>the two movies/ovas are fillied with quality
So did you actually watch the movies?
>>151753619
You could say the entire thing since the art is so simple, but here you go, a quality frame.
>>151753751
Is this bait
>>151753751
Are you stupid or just pretending?
>>151753751
>using an inbetween frame as a screenshot for an example when it's in motion
are you baiting or are you actually this fucking retarded
>>151753714
It was also one of the episodes Imaishi had nothing to do with, and probably a residual from the original version of the show before Director-san took his scissor blade to it
>>151753441
Die
>>151753810
>that Making Of documentary where Imaishi throws out a well-animated draft of Mako's shenanigans and replaced it with the more simple, choppy animation
The poor animator must have spent ages drawing it out and Imaishi tosses it, what a dick
>>151753806
It still looks great even if it's an inbetween frame. Anon's just baiting, don't give him attention.
>>151753806
Are you also a DB super shill?
marry sucy
>>151753918
MOST POWERFUL RACE
>>151753910
I hope we get more wacky animation effects like these in the show
>>151753910
>using an intentional inbetween that show cases yoh yoshinaris western influences and even then it was well animated
I think you should stop with your baits, anon also
>shill
>>151753810
>probably a residual from the original version of the show before Director-san took his scissor blade to it
Why do you hate Imaishi so much that you'll make this sort of far fetched attempt at divorcing him from the good aspects of his show?
>>151753882
Link?
>>151753998
I'd say marketer, but you are doing it for free so shill is appropirate.
>>151754041
>m-m-mu-mu-muhh pantyshuuuts
you're not making any point here, leave
>>151754003
>>151753882
>>151754014
Just search "making of kill la kill" on Nyaa, though there aren't many seeds
>>151754003
Because the huge drop in quality in the middle of the show that makes the last third feel incredibly lackluster
The tournament arc is literal dogshit
>>151754069
>quality is okay as long as it's by the saviors of anime
>>151754116
The difference here is that the frame you posted from KlK is representative of the entire scene and the frame from LWA isn't.
>>151754116
>deliberate decision to not draw a magic skirt OR panty shot is QUALITY
Off yourself
>>151754116
the key word is "motion", I'll let you figure out the rest
>>151754162
>>151754170
>>151754199
Stop giving him (You)s
>>151754219
I gave him the benefit of doubt seeing how he actually went through the trouble of getting these screencaps
>>151754170
Yes, and that leg making the c shape is not quality, right? Or the other leg looking incredibly short and disproportionate? Face it, you wouldn't know quality unless someone pointed it out to you, and funnily enough, you just proved that by just going by the filename. Check and mate ;)
>>151752853
an (embed) to you too anon kun!
I want sucy to experiment with my mushroom
This guy is trying too hard
Man, waiting for subs is going to be ass.
>>151752853
This is the first anime I'm legit excited for since 2013.
>>151754263
>what's an inbetween
>>151754392
Stop giving him attention, man
>>151754360
It's going to be subbed on Netflix though, isn't it?
>>151754413
still unconfirmed if they're dropping it all at once when Japan finished airing
>>151752853
I don't even care about the series, I just want the doujins to continue. Literally every character is a semen demonexcept for megane
Reminder that this will figuratively, or literally happen in the anime.
>>151754489
>continue
There's like two, and only one of them is scanned and on the internet.unless you have any more, then do tell
>>151754434
I'd bet on it, considering Ajin.
>>151754514
Fuck off
>>151754559
I don't think I will lad. Why don't you go fuck off yerself?
>>151754617
You keep posting this garbage but it's never happening.
>>151753316
>That giant rooster in the first PV
Is that how this year is going to be?
What time do the episode become available on Netflix? Wednesdays each week?
>>151753669
What are you talking about?
There's nothing unusual about Imaishi storyboarding.
>>151752853
I'm hyped.
>>151754434
Most likely, considering that Netflix main audience are binging normalfags
>>151753539
D-dont
>>151754678
I meant that Imaishi is (in)famous for being unable to stick to a storyboard or even bother to storyboard until the last second.
>>151753714
Episode 5 is not even in the top 10 of KLK's best animated episodes, what are you talking about?
The imaishi storyboarded episode will probably be the worst one
>>151753539
our only hope is to have small threads just when episodes air, to avoid attracting too many contrarian fucktards
>>151754652
I'm just trying to keep things light hearted, but you seem determined to be damned serious about whether, or not a thing happens in an anime.
Based Yoh is here to save Trigger.
Fuck KLK
>>151754816
I wouldn't get my hopes up, Trigger's name alone tends to attract lots of crossboarders and Rediturds/Tumblrinas
>>151754814
You can stop samefagging now.
>>151754867
That was my first post in the thread
>>151754758
The episodes of KLK he's credited for storyboarding were finished way before the show started airing, though.
>>151754867
Imaishi is only good if he gets roped the fuck in
>>151754867
>everyone who dislikes glorious Imaishi is a samefag
Sure, buddy
>>151753998
>>151753893
>>151753806
>>151754392
Why do people do this? Whenever someone posts something they think is a bad drawing in an anime, someone else will cry out in defense "but it's just an inbetween". You don't know it's an inbetween, not every distortion or "weird' drawing is an inbetween. And there's no reason for an inbetween to be held to lesser standards than key animation when it comes to drawing quality anyway. If you really think it's a good drawing, just say so. Don't regurgitate some line you've heard someone else say in a vague, thoughtless attempt to justify things that don't need justifying.
>>151754982
That wasn't the point that poster was making, but whatever.
The fact is, Imaishi is a far more talented storyboarder than Yoshinari, and there's no reason to believe his work on LWA won't be satisfactory.
>>151755042
are you stupid? watch the movie in motion and don't stare at still images.
>>151755042
>You don't know it's an inbetween
Maybe because we watched the fucking movie?
>>151755042
You don't understand how animation works
>>151755042
Please be b8
>>151752853
>tfw it ends with all the girls having boyfriends
How would you react then /a/?
>>151755308
Depends on how it was done I guess.
>>151755308
That'd be a nice change of pace.
>>151755308
>all the girls
That would be pretty stupid. But if like, Akko and someone else like Lotte then that would be charming, cute, and would make sense too.
>>151755308
Everyone except Akko and Diana get boyfriends
>>151755308
depends how much screen time they take up
>>151755046
Agree, he's a pretty good storyboarder, I just hope they don't let him direct
>>151755315
they are all younger shotas
>>151755046
>there's no reason to believe his work on LWA won't be satisfactory.
nothing good happens to me, its going to be bed
>>151755308
Depends if it's well executed or if it's just the usual yuribait and switch ending
>>151755308
a gigantic shitstorm
>>151755308
I'd love that to happen just to see /u/ literally shaking
>>151755543
>/u/ literally shaking
that wouldn't get them shaking,
you really want to get under their skin, have them get with a girl but then it turns out to be a trap but she seems to still be ok with it.
>>151755308
Main character having a boy crush and then a boyfriend would be perfect for a show like this. don't even bother with yuribaiting shit
>>151755308
Everyone would feel forced. There's presumably seven main characters, there'd be no way to give all of them well-developed relationships. Two or three maybe, that could work.
>>151755576
anything that isn't yuri gets under their skin
>>151755588
>>151755308
>Episode ends on Akko telling Diana she needs to talk with her
>/u/ mode: on
>next episode: "Diana... how do you tell a boy that you like him?"
>>151755613
No, not really. Then they just don't talk about it.
>>151755308
I would love to see how Sucy handles romance
You'd have to be retarded to think there will be canon relationships, even in the remote possibility there will boys wizards.
Not focusing on romance and letting shippers do the job is far easier and doesn't anger waifufags, which is pretty much a necessity when you have a female MC. See KLK.
>>151755788
What do you think? Mushroom roofies and rape.
>>151755091
>>151755085
You can't know what is and isn't an inbetween unless you see the time sheet, genga or whatever. Otherwise, you're just making vague guesses, especially when you're looking at an individual frame.
And just to be clear, I don't agree remotely with the dumbass calling those shots from LWA "QUALITY", I just don't like how "it's an inbetween" has become this stock justification for any weird or distorted drawings in animation when it's not only nonsensical, it's also totally unnecessary.
>>151752853
>my favorite anime is finally getting a series
>we helped to make it happen
I've never bought any anime and LWA is the only anime I've "bought" so to speak. I'm really excited!
>>151755845
The point is that the shot he posted is seen for like 0.1s, so it doesn't matter. The only thing that matters in that case if the entire animation was stellar and well done - which it was.
>>151755869

Gtfo, no one wants that gay shit ruining what is supposed to be a family friendly show. Miss me and based Yoh with that gay shit.
>>151753539
>>shitposters and false flaggers raise the excitement to unrealistically high expectations like with Kill la Kill before it aired
we won't reach this step, nobody cares about LWA near as much as KLK. it's too kiddy
>>151754514
well it already figuratively happened in the movies. Diana is obviously in love with Akko
>>151756099
>gay shit.
if you are that bothered by girl on girl that makes me feel like you yourself are gay.
>>151755773
It doesn't have to be yuri in order for them to talk about it. They just have to think there's yuri in it.
Nothing is safe.
>>151755897
elf witches
>>151756099
No one said it should be the opposite either.
>>151756111
even my sister who seems to find some sjw thing to complain in just about anything I show her liked it.
>>151756111
It's happening in this very thread.
>>151756210
Girl's teenage love for a boy is th emost magical thing there is. And yuri isn't magical at all.
>>151755802
Ryuuko and Mako were canon yuri though
>>151756111
At the very least we won't get all those /v/tards and imaishitters who only showed up to KlK for fanservice and memes
>>151756263
Nobody even mentioned hibike what the fuck are you smoking?
>>151756191
> REEEEEEEEEEE people i don't like enjoy things i like
try not to turn this into another hibike
>>151756258
I figured /v/ only showed up because they're all familiar with TTGL and that's what KLK was marketed as, "by the creators of TTGL"
>>151756263
Retard desperately wants another fanbase war. Sad
>>151756309
>tfw Gurren Lagann was so much better and it disn't even try to be original

It begins
>>151756376
Yeah, not really.
report and ignore
>>151756299
>we should be allowed to spread our cancer wherever we like!
>>151756298
He's probably some /u/ fag that got mad when he realized there wasn't any real yuri on his favourite seasonal show, just ignore and report
You faggots are trying so hard to make these threads into Love Lab 2.0 when the show hasn't even aired yet.
GO AWAY
>>151756257
In your dreams faggot.
>>151756394
Is this your first week here? just asking because you don't seem familiar with how dense /u/tards can be. And lately they've been preety dense.
>>151755042
>there's no reason for an inbetween to be held to lesser standards than key animation when it comes to drawing quality
>>151756344
>Gurren Lagann was so much better
"No"
Am I the only anon who can appreciate cute yuri undertones and Normal relationships?
Either way i'll be happy as long as it's done well, and it isn't the focus.
>>151756495
/a/ has been getting worse and worse in the past few days. It's not an exaggeration to say that 80% of threads are being started with the same, stock, cookie cutter phrases, and every single thread I've been in has had people saying things as unsubtle as "this fucking sucks shit show lol".
Why you feel the need to make up things to be upset about is beyond me.
>>151756495
>>151756440
Why are /u/tards bringing their shit everywhere, you literally can't discuss this show, this fun magical show without any romance whatsoever without some knuckle dragging faggot talking about yuri ships, like he NEEDS to force ANYTHING to happen or his existence will lose meaning.
>>151756539
Literally, objectively, catagorically, "Yes"
That isn't to say TTGL was great, but KLK was an absolute failure.
>>151756570
I just want to make one thing clear:
The opposite of this is happening. Look in this very thread. Am I going crazy?
Is /a/ really this bad now?
>>151756590
TTGL was literally only better in animation consistency.
>>151756477
She really did that?
>>151756607
Yes, /a/ is fucking garbage. Post quality is at rock bottom. I blame /qa/ for attracting loads of crossboarding shitposters.
>>151756607
I just want to make on thing clear:
The opposite of this is happening. Look in this very thread. Am Igoing crazy?
Is /a/ really this bad now?
>>151756567
>cookie cutter phrases
What the fuck was her problem?
This is your X tonight
These two are the worst IMO.
>>151756590
>KLK was an absolute failure
It was entertaining until the tournament arc, and even after that it had the entire board by the balls to the very end. I can't think of another show since then that /a/ collectively sperged over. Maybe Re:Zero but after a certain point it was pretty obvious /v/ was behind the thread spamming.
>>151756675
I'd take /a/ over reddit, tumblr, mal or other shithole
sadly this is the only decent place for discussing anime
>>151756642
That is because Trigger just wants to make Canadian Anime so everything looks like low budget cartoons from the 70's.
>>151756684
You couldn't even copy and paste my post without making a typo.
>>151756607
/a/ is fucking dead desu
>>151756642
And characters, and what little plot there was, and voice acting, and humor, and emotion and music
Pretty much everything, even if it didn't do it well, was done better than KLK
>>151756704
copy what post? what are you talking about?
>>151753150
The more I see, the more I think LWA is set in the same universe of Tweeny Witches, only the former is set some century in the future from the latter. Too many similarities. It came to my mind right now again because I've noticed Diana has the same eye shap of the TW characters, something I previously seen only in Amanda (who, speaking about, physically resembles TW protagonist, Arusu. They could be related.)
>>151755308
So... like Ranma 1/2? I'd watch it.
>>151756728
I think you're reaching a bit.
>>151756426
> who cares if threads turn to shit? i have to call anyone who likes things i don't names, that'll show them!
>>151756544
This.
People enjoyed the first OVA because the girls were cute, the animation was great, dungeon crawling, and Sucy.
People enjoyed the second OVA because the girls were cute, the animation was great, that tomato fight, and the new girls were great too.
Romance imagined or otherwise didn't factor in the people's enjoyment of those OVAs and now people are rustled about what the TV show will bring? Literally why?
>>151755308
I personally view these girls as my surrogate daughters so I'd be alright with it
>>151756779
That's why you call people hetstupid hetfags?
>>151756544
As long as it's cute romance, I love it. Yuri will probably always be slightly cuter than het though.
>>151755308
I honestly don't mind them hooking up with boys but it'd feel kind of silly and forced if they all found boyfriends by the end of it. If Yoshinari is as dedicated to worldbuilding as he says he is I do expect male characters to show up at some point though.
>>151756719
>And characters
Stopped reading here.
Anyone can see KLK has a far stronger cast than TTGL.
Do you even remember the names of those guys that died in the last episodes after being there for half of the series and were supposed to make you feel sad?
>>151756779
>hetfags BTFO!
>>151756793
>Romance imagined or otherwise didn't factor in the people's enjoyment of those OVAs and now people are rustled about what the TV show will bring? Literally why?
The energy from Hibike didn't die just because the show ended. Those people are now trying to find a new show to fight over
>>151756775
That's just another little straw added after way many other and more big common points the two shows share. Should I list every evidence I found, this thread would last forever... kinda.
>>151756700
More like Dezaki's no-budget cartoons from the '70, even referenced directly dozens of times.
>>151756811
> he's telling me i should stop being obnoxious

Hetfags are really getting annoying that /u/fags lately. Even the /u/ board rarely talks about it. Fuuka and Seiren are in this season so take you "MUH ROMANCE", "girls should always love boys", and "girl should get boyfriends" bullshits there. Fucking romancefags.
>>151756850
All of the characters in KLK had the presence of a background character from TTGL
>>151756895
Well, it's not a bad theory. It's probably, definitely not the case, but it might be fun to think about.
>>151756926
You're the same person faggot, it's obvious by the writing style.
Fuck off back to tumblr or whatever shithole you crawled from.
Stop replying and just report the retard
>>151756530
>it's okay if half your frames look like dogshit
>>151756689
The beginning of the tournament was weak because of the shoddy outsourced art and animation, but it picked up after that and peaked with episodes 16 - 18. And even after that there were plenty of great moments.
Doesn't the manga version of LWA have a wizard's school across the street with cute boys and shoujo bubbles all over?
>>151756978
But which one do I report?
>>151756530
Well, there's not. Of course, in reality, inbetweeners aren't usually going to be as skilled as the key animators, but ideally the inbetweens shouldn't be drawn any worse than the key animation.
>>151757013
Reminder that Diana's dad from this manga is in the anime's PV
>>151757000
There are several important techniques that require you to go off model to emphasize certain kinds of motion.
Inbetween frames are generally the place to do this.
>>151757015
Report everyone who isn't just saying their own, actual opinion.

I heard that Akko has a crush on her male childhood friend in the manga
>>151756963
There's no need to go full retard anon.
Even a completely irrelevant Kill la Kill character like Soroi has better characterization than everyone save the main characters in TTGL.
>>151756970

HAHAHA

Half of this thread is probably the shitposting crew on IRC headed by Nagi
I for one hope the world is fleshed out and explored.
That was the biggest flaw of Harry Potter.
>>151757194
the world of harry potter does seem intresting , but it seems the majority of the fans seem only to care about shipping,
at least from what ive seen.
>>151757140
Just wrong.
Being loud or making the same joke over and over doesn't make you a character.
Kill la Kill had no idea what it wanted to be and got everything wrong. The concept got worse as time went on and they made shit up as it went along and it showed.
I can't think of one redeeming factor from that clusterfuck, and it's a real shame.
>>151757194
What? The worldbuilding was like the only redeeming quality of HP.
show's not even started and there's already an /u/ vs het civil war going on
>>151756965
Well, I like to think it's the case. As long as the series won't put some clear evidence TW and LWA can't possibly be related, I'll keep thinking they are, just for my own fun.
>>151757303
>tvtropes
This fucking guy
>>151757294
This is how you know it's going to be the popular show of the season.
>>151757257
Its what fucked HP
Book 1-3 was all about the world with cool wizard shit and adventure
Book 4 was when the plot kicked in, and was a huge waste of potential for a great concept (Wizard Tournement Arc)
Books 5-8 are just forced drama and angsty romance. New worldbuilding only exists to advance the plot along.
>>151757345
>all this baby tier shitposting
you're not fooling anybody faggot
>>151757345

>>151752853
For some reason, this show and the movie Pacific Rim makes me feel like I'm 7 years old again.
I hope the tv transition doesn't kill their magic.

I don't understand.
All I said was all the shitposting indicates that the show will be popular.
>>151752853
Not an anime. Back to /co/.
You'll notice that no one brought up Imaishi as if to praise him or say "I wish he would work on this." No one started saying "don't these frames look so good!" And certainly no one went "I hope there's yuri."
I can't be the only one who wants a mix of /u/ and het, right?
>Sucy gets a boy toy to test her potions on
>Akko and Diana sperg out over shiny chariot

Now, that's worth arguing over.

you're not real

>you can't have an opiniom without a different opinion being posted first
The whole board falls silent...
>>151757645
So you disagree that the show will be popular?
>>151757647
Yeah, I'm not. The first post to mention yuri was
>confirmed not yuri
Out of nowhere and for no reason.
>>151757190
I forgot about them. They were probably responsible for Hibike threads too
>>151757656
Did I say that? Have an opinion all you want. Purposefully shitting into the thread only to point at it and go "I blame this on someone else" means you should just stop posting.
>>151757490
What does that have to do with you posting vague statements that mean nothing?
>Kill la Kill had no idea what it wanted to be
It did and was consistant till the end.
>The concept got worse as time went on
Do you even know what concept are you talking about?
>they made shit up as it went along and it showed
Which is ironic because it showed less than in TTGL.
purge this entire fucking thread please
>>151757614
yes, you are.
>>151757372
Book 5 had some great worldbuilding. I loved the Black house, the hospital, and the Ministry of Magic

why does it have to be one or the other?
>>151757432
No, but you should anyway
>>151757760
>KLK was consistent until the end
There is no point in continuing if you are this delusional. At least admit the complete and utter tonal confusion over being a shojo parody, a revenge story, a comedy, an almost shonen show with the tournement, to a TTGL retread.
>>151757683
oh it will be popular but I hope the threads will be filled with fun posting and devoid of all this baby tier shitposting and baits.
>>151753303
this shit is going to be in netflix mah boi
>>151757614
Yeah and you're even more cancerous than them. Two wrongs don't make a right, so fuck off.
>>151757821
Why doesn't it?
>>151757052
Off-model != bad drawing. This drawing: >>151753910 for example is wildly off-model, but it's a good drawing. Or rather it's a good drawing in part because it's off-model. And this notion that intentionally off-model drawings are the sole domain of inbetweens is just an imaginary distinction that no animation reflects. In that cut ( https://sakugabooru.com/post/show/15514 ), all of the drawings are off-model.
>>151757885
There was no tonal confusion, it did everything perfectly
>>151757895
I do, too, but this thread is weathering away at my hopes.
>>151758020
>>151757885
Agree to disagree. There's no point in going back and forth.
>>151755042
>And there's no reason for an inbetween to be held to lesser standards than key animation when it comes to drawing quality anyway.
Holy fucking shit, you got me. Have a (you)
>>151758026
yesterdays threads were way better anon it's just obvious it's one or two faggots trying too hard to shitpost when it sticks out like a sore thumb.too bad people are retarded and reply to them anyway
>>151757100
I blame the Keit-ai posters shifting their sights to /u/ vs. het posting because Keit-ai is now a bannable offense.
>>151758020
Troll or retarded or a waifufag.
Whatever anon, either way I'm happy that based Yoh is going out of his way to distance himself from all other Trigger stuff.
>>151757029
then why there are keys to begin with?
>>151757885
I think the tonal confusion added to the quality of the show for me. I really enjoyed how every single one of them was handled well or brilliantly.
>>151753053
This outfit looks a little too spicy for U though
>>151758216
Why does Akko look so good in that outfit? I seriously think they plan on making her the next Shiny Chariot by the end of the show
>>151757885
>shoujo parody
I feel you don't know what you're talking about.
Kill la Kill has a number of sources of inspiration: the entire work of Go Nagai, from the ecchi stuff like Cutie Honey, Kekko Kamen, Shameless School to Mazinger and Devilman, the Dezaki of Ace Wo Narae, Ashita no Joe and Rose of Versailles, Saint Seya, Utena, Blazing Transfer Student, '80 delinquent manga and dozens others.
But it combines all in its own style, that is consistent from beginning to end, with not even an abrupt tonal shifts like TTGL had.
>>151758208
HOLY FUCK YOU ARE ALLOWED TO HAVE DIFFERENT OPINIONS BUT WHAT THE FUCK
It wasn't funny, it didn't cleverly parody shojo, the revenge plot lost all steam due to unfunny filler, the tournement was a clusterfuck and the ending had little to no emotional weight behind it because the characters were just cardboard cutouts with a singular joke taped to them.
>>151757821
because it's best if it's neither
>>151758284
Stop trying to sound intelligent, it doesn't come close to any of the 70's and 80's classics, and fails to even lift anything of value from them at all.
>>151758284
>I feel you don't know what you're talking about.
like my father said, in life sounding like you know what you're talking about is just as good.
About Netflix, i read this news long time ago:
http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/news/2016-04-16/netflix-japan-streams-kuromukuro-anime-with-english-subtitles/.101138
So you guys maybe can try with VPN to get the english sub version, if no one sub it.
And yes this shows how stupid Netflix is, they already translated to english sub and yet they choose make everywhere other than Japan wait for 3 months.
>>151758334
He's not saying it comes close to them. But it's clearly inspired by them. Blazing Transfer Student even had a Gainax OVA.
>>151752853
I can't wait to be disappointed
>>151758368
Does this mean someone with jap netflix could rip the subs and upload a subbed version, HorribleSubs style?
>>151758378
He isn't wrong that superficial aspects were taken from other media (as is the Gainax tradition) but mentioning those works in the same breath as Kill la Kill means he isn't a fan of that stuff at all.
>>151758289
It did cleverly parody shojo though. It was done in a way that it could have passed as a shojo with small changes. Just little things like it being a revenge plot, or the character being female not male, made it a subtle but well done shojo parody. The tournament being a clusterfuck was also because of it being a parody show. It was purposely overblown and nonsensical.
I can understand you not liking the filler like episodes, some felt pretty weak to me as well.
The ending had little emotional weight to me as well. The characters had little depth and so it makes sense to have no attachment to them.
>>151758466
You can say that.
>>151758494
Nah, it's all just opinions. And that's fine.
>>151758368
well they lose out cause I would have gotten a subspcription soley just for lwa.
>>151758368
>bulk release at the end of the season
Netflix is such a shitshow.
Maybe we'll get anonsubs like we did for Kuromukuro
All this show needs to do is flesh out the characters. The setting can make for good scenarios and moments and the animation/character designs are fun.
If they can pull through and make the characters have proper depth and make them slowly develop in a K-On style way this show can easily be AOTY
>>151758494
I mentioned stuff of all kinds of quality in my post, you putting everything on the same level tells me you're not that one with knowledge of the classics.
>I don't like KLK
>>151758202
Because inbetweens can't exist without key animation? I'm not sure where your question is even coming from.
>>151758791
>I like KlK
>>151758806
I'll make myself more clear
If any frame is supposed to be drawn with the same quiality, why have a distinction between key animation and inbetweens to begin with?
Why im getting the feeling that all LWA Threads will be involved in the biggest War ever on /a/?
>>151758791
Disliking KLK is a meme opinion these days.
Those who blindly hate it didn't even understand it.
>>151758738
No amount of development can make that smug fatass likeable. God I hate her
>>151758928
Seriously. There's no point to that character besides being fat.
>>151758903
>forced war
>>151758946
At least she shares instead of keeping the food all for herself.
WTF is going on in this thread?
>>151759021
And its only because /u/ cant stay on their Board
Diana > Amanda > Sucy > Constanze > the rest
Obviously the anime won't be fight based, but I hope we get to see flashy magical spells, like the sword control thing Diana did in the first movie.

Seems like an ad-hoc justification rather than an actual reason.
>>151759207
But LWA isn't a fairy tale or classic novel.
>>151758903
>war
that's a werid way to spell "sitposting fest"
>>151759307
>But LWA isn't a fairy tale or classic novel.
But Disney movies were
>>151759307
that's the reason, 2d movies weren't making as much money as 3d so they went full 3d
>>151759207
So Trigger just adapts Harry Potter.
>>151759441
Lion King is the remake of a lesser known movie.
>>151759340
Not even close.
Lion king was completely original for example.
>>151759441
>Lion king was completely original.
Hamlet mixed with Simba the White Lion
>>151759473
This isn't true.
>>151759499
Those are called influences.
It's like saying LWA is nothing but a ripoff of harry potter and sailor moon.
>>151759587
This isn't true.
A best girl 5 years in the making
What would be worst outcome if the threads for lwa are getting involved into a massive shitpost fest?
>>151759746
There are two worst case scenarios:
>hardcore yuribait
>handsome/cool love interest boys are introduced
>>151759746
Nothing, who gives a shit about shitposters?
Best you can do is report obvious shitposting and post some show related discussion on your own.
>>151758778
Just stop, you arn't fooling anybody.
The show doesn't even lick the bootprint of Ace wo Nerae, Ashita no Joe, Rose of Versailles, Utena, delinquent manga like Shonen Junai Gumi and the Devilman manga.
I'll admit to having never seen Blazing Transfer Student, but if I need to watch a completely different show to get this one its failed. (For example Gunbuster has merits aside from taking elements from Ace wo Nerae and The Forever War, and Evangelion has merits aside from taking elements from Devilman and Childhood's End)
>>151758917
>it was shit on purpose so it's good
>t-too deep for you
I got what they tried to do but they tried too much and the house of cards crumbled. The production was so shit I couldn't even enjoy the show on a superficial level.
>>151759441
Lion King was literally Hamlet with Lions.
>>151759746
none because retards are trying to force one
or this >>151759766
>>151758875
Well, production-wise, it's to save time. A single animator can produce more work more quickly if they leave undrawn frames in their animation to be drawn in by someone else afterwards, ones that don't define the motions in the scene. The inbetweener doesn't have any room for creativity, they just follow the key animator's instructions.
From an audience perspective, there is no real reason to distinguish between the two and the distinctions people perceive to exist are largely imaginary (eg the whole "off-model drawings are always inbetweens" stuff).
>>151759766
well if you are mixing these two together we could get another Hibike Scenario
>>151759735
>had concept art for both ovas
>appeared in none
not so best after all huh
>>151759766
Fortunately neither of these will happen, because Trigger's philosophy is >>151755802
>>151759782
So I guess you haven't read the Nagai ecchi manga if you put them on the same level as Devilman. And Blazing Transfer Student is a manga.
I also didn't say anything about KLK being shit, especially not on purpose, but you also decided what classics I do or I don't like so I guess you don't need me to carry on the conversation.
>>151759782
>Lion King was literally Hamlet with Lions.
And LWA is just literally anime harry potter right?
>>151759970
You just made two unfounded assumptions to save face.
>>151760012

>>151760037
No it isn't.

>>151760201

>>151760013
You started assuming I didn't actually like the series I mentioned so I guess we're even.
Also I didn't notice in your post, you obviously don't need to know the sources of inspiration to appreciate Kill la Kill, though seeing all these different works being put together and creating something completely unique does make you appreciate even more.
TTGL is a different beast though, there the homage to 30 years of history of mecha is the point of the project and a big part of its narrative, so you won't get nearly the same amount of enjoyment from it without knowledge of robots.
>>151760201

The Luluco cameo and the new anime hype got me to check this out. Did two short "movies" really generate all this love? They're not bad but there has to be more for all the hype LWA gets.
Takafumi Hori changed the colouring on that little animation he did for fun when the series was announced.
It makes me think they might be using it as an eyecatch after all...
