Is it a theatrical film or TV show?

>>152407103
>sequel to Ponyo
Nah, don't have time for fanfic.

Looks beautiful but it looks like a movie.

>>152407103
Only a short trailer and its already better than Ponyo.

>>152407329
It is

Go watch Tatami Galaxy, Lelouch.

He is doing it rn. It's supposedly an extremely lewd series

Is this TV or movie? Looks too high spec to be TV.

She looks like a slightly less retarded version of Ponyo.

This looks great.

Fucking movies though, we aren't going to see this or his other one until 2018.

I hope it's not, but it's look boring to be honest.

>>152407905
tatami galaxy 2 is this spring

>フラッシュアニメーション
Well having that kind of credit is going to cause no end of shitposting considering the way the term is miscontrued in USA to mean "bad" animation.

>>152407970
I assume this is the family film that Yuasa was working on.

>>152407981
Yeah this spring in the theatres. The BD release won't happen until late this year or early next year.

If Ponyo was on cocaine, this is on fucking acid.

>>152407700

Seriously rushed production of a decent sports story in an unconventional way. Not really that impressive, sorry.

Human characters look incredibly lame, but Lu and her dad are really good. I'm not sure if I should be excited or not.

>>152407103
It has the same flash-like feel to the movement that the new tatami galaxy trailer thing had, and I really hate it. The new tatami galaxy looks much uglier than the old one, and this movie seems to carry the same weird indescribable ugliness.
Looking forward to it though, hope it can prove me wrong.

Looks good but not good enough to surpass Mind Game.

I fucking love Yuasa. Hope this is as good as (or better than) Mind Game.

>>152407103
Amazon pls license

Is this what he hired Oshiyama to direct?

>>152411413
No this is a film and there is no confirmation that Oshiyama will be working on the other project as a director at all. It's more likely that he is just working as a key animator or perhaps episode director/storyboarder.

>>152411413
That's supposed to be a TV show

>>152407103
Looks like way more of a general audience movie than Mind Game. Hopefully they don't try too hard to make something with mass appeal.

>>152411661
It's supposed to be a family movie.

Yuasa is one of the most creative men alive. Looking through his sketchbook it's amazing how many things can come out of his head. Can't wait for this film.

>>152411704
I know. I just want Yuasa to do Yuasa and not dumb things down in the interest of reaching more people. The trailer looks pretty good, though, so I guess I'm not too worried.

>>152411968
Yuasa's roots are in mass appeal family shows like Crayon Shin-Chan. To say a mass appeal film wouldn't be Yuasa is just wrong.

>>152412126
I know that he did a lot of animation work on the Crayon Shin-chan franchise, but as far as I know, he never actually directed or wrote anything for it. Given the chance to head his own projects, he's almost always created niche shit for weirdos. This sort of movie is definitely a departure for him.

>save money on shading
>spend it on animation and backgrounds
Not sure if I'm okay with this, but at least it looks interesting.

>>152412316
Not really he has talked many times in interviews about how his work on those kinds of shows was a huge influence on his style and outlook.

>>152407103
I AM hyped

>>152407103
I can already tell the OST is gonna be god tier.

>>152407103
Is this to be released on 2017? If so, this might be one of the best years for the medium. Modern anime haters BTFO.

>>152411704
When I first heard Yuasa was doing a family film, my expectations were that it'd be something vaguely similar to Shin-chan or Maruko-chan. I'm a little disappointed that it's not.

At least Lu is cute.

>>152407103
Looks like garbage.

Looks sweet! I feel like I won't help but be able to draw unfavourable comparisons to Ponyo, but visually the trailer looks really cool, and I like these kinds of stories. Yuasa is constantly reinventing himself and pushing new ground, I think he's by far the greatest figure in contemporary animation.

>A movie

Aaaaaaand into the trash it goes.

>>152407103

So it's just a garbage ponyo ripoff?

>>152413292
>>152407329
What kind of mental gymnastics do you have to perform to convince yourself that a TV show would be favourable to a movie? There aren't many good anime shows, but the bar for film isn't bad at all.

>mental gymnastics
I think it's the lack of mental ability that leads them to believe a movie is bad.

>>152413004
>>152413408
Edgy

>it's only a movie so it must be bad
This is what I interpret by the line above:
>I need to immerse myself for more than 1.5 hour in order to enjoy anime
>I need an OP/ED
>I need """"more""""" plot
>I need more character """"development""""
>I don't care about shitty quality, I just want 20 weekly minutes of a TV show
I bet you plebs don't even like episodic masterpieces such as Mushishi.

>>152413157
>Yuasa is constantly reinventing himself and pushing new ground
I don't think that's accurate to his upcoming films.

I mean in 2017, anime movies are much better off than anime series. The industry is headed in that direction and it'll be pretty noticeable once it shrinks

so what is he some hipster lofi hip hop producer

>>152413860
I think this one's unlike anything he's done before.

>>152414028
Sure, in the sense that it looks way more conventional than his previous works. I don't think that counts as "pushing new ground" though.

>>152407329
Just fuck off and kill yourself already.

>>152409522
mind game was shit

>>152408130
But have far shorter run times, which gives them less room to develop characters, build worlds and explore themes, and necessitates having a very concise, basic structure. Seralised shows can go into far more depth on their subject matters and be far more experimental with the presentation of their stories than films. Having high production, "expressive" animation is the only thing animated films are good for, and it comes at the cost of everythng else. I'd much rather a creative, introspective director like Yuasa be working on TV where he can release his full potential.

Looks fucking amazing. Yuasa Ponyo? Is it a TV series or a second movie?

>>152407103
Doesn't look too exciting honestly. But I trust in Yuasa.

>>152407103
Childhood friend looks like Anaru.
>>152413426
>There aren't many good anime shows
The guys you're talking to are retarded, but this is pretty dumb too.

>>152413157
>I feel like I won't help but be able to draw unfavourable comparisons to Ponyo
What? But Ponyo was mediocre.

>>152408164
Was he drawn in paint?

>meanwhile Nakamura hasn't worked on anything since Gatchaman Crowds

Was it a mistake to headcanon them as rivals?

>>152419159
> hasn't worked on anything since Gatchaman Crowds
But S2 was less than two years ago, more recent than Ping Pong. Unless your point was that Crowds S2 sucked, in which case I agree.

>>152419215
My point is that Yuasa has two movies coming out, and I'm desperate to know what Nakamura's working on. Yuasa can be hit and miss for me, but I've liked literally everything Nakamura has done.

>>152407844

>>152407103
This looks like it'll blow Ponyo out of the water

The song is awesome

>>152407103
reminds me of a movie called lull in the sea, hopefully it isn't as bad

It was pretty decent.

You are a faggot.

Pretty excited for a new movie. It's been a while.

>>152421005
fuck, I meant a movie called Song of the Sea,
https://youtu.be/HgbXWt8kM5Q

which i say its bad since here on /a/, anything animated that's not anime = shit

>>152421005
>>152421767
Had to search what 'lull in the sea' was. So the main takeaway here is this dude thinks that crap was 'pretty decent'.

>>152421767
bitch, song of the sea is great!

>>152421888
remember the rule of /a/

anything animated that's not anime = shit

regardless of personal opinion

>>152421961
Sounds like something you came up with yesterday

It looks okay. I hope it ends up being great.

But I don't know about putting "Genius" before your name in a promo. That seems like a sign of falling into utter mediocrity and being sustained by dickstroking fanboys.

>>152423021
I feel like the nips use "genius" an awful lot in their marketing, sometimes even for literal rookies. Does anyone know if the term is less extreme than for us?

>>152413157
Strange how someone like you would convert from Miyazaki to Yuasa so quickly, Daniel. He is the complete antithesis, and his style heavily encourages that of webgen animators, something Miyazaki despises.

>>152407480
i've heard he is doing a tv series that will be announced in March. consider that the next empty Noitamina' slot is next winter (spring if it's true that kabaneri will air in january)

Interview with Yuasa about the film here if anyone cares to translate.

http://www.lunouta.com/interview/

>>152421767
Song of the sea was great and there's no rule on /a/ that anything not anime is shit. If anyone says so they're shitposting. Most of the hostility towards discussion of animation from other countries here is the fact that this is an anime board and we have other boards for discussion of animation from other countries.

>>152407103
>TTG movie
>now this
Nice.

>>152424560
And a TV series to be announced soon.

>>152425076
Can this year get any better?

>>152425214
I feel like there's more reasons not to kill yourself this year than the last few years combined.

Is this the Kimi no na wa killer?

>>152425330
Nah probably won't do well.

>Tfw Yuasa draws Adam Sandler fan art
This man never ceases to surprise me.

>>152407600
Ping Pong Girl was great

>>152407103
Looks hipster garbage like TG. I doubt he can top Ping Pong.

Looks pretty unimpressive by Yuasa's standards. That, and returning to TTG's artstyle gives me bad vibes. Has he lost his touch?

>>152428619
>returning to TTG's artstyle gives me bad vibes
It's a prequel/spin-off type thing of Tatami Galaxy so it makes sense it has the same art style.

>>152428639
Yeah, a novel by the same author. The thing is that the man has worked with radically different things for his entire career until now, being his humour, themes and style of editing the thing that made his oeuvre cohesive. Now it's kinda... there. Settled.

I hope the TV show returns to that kind of thing.

>Yuasa is STILL not working with MAPPA

Even Yamamoto got to have her moeblob of a series, and Yuasa is still not in contact with Murayama? It would make sense, since he's the man that kept his work afloat for almost a decade.

>>152428744
Year of Urobuchi you mean?

>>152418941
I don't think so at all

>>152428777
You know he's at his own studio now, right?

>>152423817
Yuasa is pretty much the most down-to-earth, focused on life affirmation director there is in Japan by a landslide. I don't think he's Miyazaki's antithesis in that respect.

>>152428835
Ah! I though Studio Saru was a rookie group of him and his animators, not a studio. My bad.

>>152423817
Firstly who's Daniel? Secondly I don't think it's impossible for someone to be a fan of different directors, especially when they aren't all that different. I was just meaning that I wish it weren't a mermaid movie, cause it instantly reminds me of Ponyo.

>>152421767
>>152421961
I'd also like to know when this was ever said.

Unless you're confusing the knee-jerk reaction to the stuff /co/ likes as "anything animated that's not anime = shit".
