Yamada's output is so small that no one can really tell if she's good or not. As episode director she's very average, her episode of Maidragon wasn't as good and the joke delivery was sloppy. The last episode of Hibike S2 was very anticlimactic, first episode of Hibike S1 and Tamako were alright though.

She's a good series director but honestly I don't think series directors are as relevant when it comes to artistic merit, specially in character driven series, they take a managing role more than a directorial one. Movies are different so once KnK comes out we'll see if the K-On movie was just a fluke or not.

Based on many interviews on how the production works, series directors are just there to supervise and correct mood, plot or characterization discrepancies. Yamada is very picky about body language and framing. The bulk of the directorial work is done by episode directors, and since KyoAni only works with their in-house directors, the people there are probably very familiar with Yamada's style and there aren't many corrections, so she's basically just there to look miserable since as I said, her output is very small compared to Takemoto or Ishihara.

Episode directors often storyboard their own episodes and lead the staff in charge of said episode. The series director is usually just there to approve or disapprove things, they're simply glorified managers, not saying they have it easy, but the actual directorial work is left to the episode directors. With KyoAni this isn't as noticeable, considering most of them have a very similar and homogeneous style (save for Kigami) since they've been together for so long, but just watch any show that involves episode direction from people with unique styles like Imaishi or Ikuhara and you'll realize that it can carry a lot of artistic weight.

The fact that these positions exist should tell you something. As far as I'm aware, there aren't interviews that involve Yamada as series director. accompanied by one of her ep directors; only interviews with her as ep director or as movie director, and as I said, movies are different, they obviously don't get to have episode directors.

But let's look at this part of the Hibike interview, the series director is not aware of a certain detail in the storyboards someone else made, this implies that he is only involved with the production on a high level. Yamada mentions that the one who made the choice of having Kumiko run was Miyoshi Ichirou, the episode director of ep12, then mentions how he (Miyoshi) wanted to make the junior animators suffer, this confirms what I said about ep directors being more involved with the staff. Perhaps manager wasn't the best word to describe a series director, but they aren't in complete control either, they usually just set up guidelines.

>>154554355
>Miyoshi Ichirou
Why does Kigami keep insisting on using these silly fake names?

>>154554410

>>154554554
And there's still that guy claiming series directors have no meaningful input.

>>154554569
Yamada: There was also the question of “which one of us should be director?” For me personally, I wanted to be in a position where I would be able to concentrate and put my whole effort into making the story. As a director, you have to be concerned about everything in a production and there’s a lot of jobs outside the work itself, so it would be difficult for me to dig into the nooks and crannies of the story while doing all of that.
Ishihara: Yes, but you’re also thinking “what would other directors do in this situation?” as well. Surprisingly, there’s only a few things that a TV anime director does. You work up to the storyboard check, and well, you do say “show me this cut” when each cut is completed, but that’s the limit of what you do. With that in mind, this show appeared to be one that you had to keep an eye on it to the farthest nook….wouldn’t you say?
Yamada: That’d be right. This work would have a lot of parts that you wouldn’t be able to help with if you were just a director.
Ishihara: You wouldn’t be able to go into details as much either.
Yamada: Right. So I talked to Ishihara-san and the producers and was given the role of series director for the show.
Oguro: Fundamentally, how did you divide the work?
Ishihara: Yamada would look at the various detailed points.
Yamada: As I looked over the entire series progression as a whole, I’d work on the subtleties of each character’s emotions and made sure that progressed logically so to speak. While I was working on that, I gradually understood the role of series director.

The first three paragraphs are nothing but Yamada ass licking.

The rest of the article is just describing what happened in the episode.

>And so both Tohru and Kobayashi did their best to articulate their feelings, in a scene that demonstrated the power of animation by itself to convey our emotional truths.
This isn't exclusive to Maidragon episode 8.

>But then the tone is sharply reset, as the show takes several seconds to watch Kobayashi retreat across the room and sit on the edge of the couch. In terms of both pacing and action, this cut establishes a mood of reflection and exasperation, like Tohru is about to be lectured. The mundane but carefully animated nature of Kobayashi's motion switches our expectations from that of over-the-top farce to grounded personal drama.
Sharp changes in mood are also not exclusive to ep 8, they happen in pretty much every episode.

6th paragraph is the only one worth reading.

I can’t say it was by chance. I was probably a little aware of it. It would be difficult to depict the realities of high school girl life, so I tried to insert women as much as possible since they had experienced that timeframe.
