The Fireworks movie specially looks like a monogatari clone. Maybe not storywise but the style is the same, same character designer, even. If I didn't know about the movie and I saw the key visual, I'd think it's one of the main monogatari girls. Then there's Mekaku City and Zaregoto which also completely copied the monogatari style. Yes even Fate/Extra seems to be copying it.

>>158208817
>The Fireworks movie specially looks like a monogatari clone.
Not really. The Watanabe designs are a bit tiring to see again, but, from the PV, the anime doesn't actually look like Monogatari, stylistically.

I remember that the publisher ended up asking the author to write more books specifically for KyoAni. So it seems we have reached the stage where the new books are being released near when the films are coming out.

It is win-win really, the important thing is that Eupho is published by Takarajimasha, a tiny company that sells magazines as its original income. And as such they are grateful to get exposure via KyoAni's animations.

I still find it hilarious that the author got surprised that her books based on exaggerated personal experiences ended up being animated. Remember that this is a small publishing house and they didn't have the resources to pay for anime. Not being Kadokawa had its down sides.

I didn't know this, no wonder S2 felt very off. S1 was honestly much better in how it was structured, the way the plot moved felt very natural unlike the arc structure we got in S2. Now I wonder how much better S1/Vol1 would have been if she wasn't told to stretch the series out.

It depends on who is actually to blame. For all we know the novels are fine and KyoAni just made unnecessary changes. Unless you actually read the books themselves you wouldn't know who is at fault.

>>158210294
According to novelanon S1 was 40% original and S2 was 10% original

>>158210358
Can you really compare the 40 unnecessary seasons of Monogatari + various Monogatari gimmicky directing clones ie Zaregoto, Mekaku, to 2 seasons and 3 movies of Free, Hibike, and Chuu2?

>>158210334
No wonder S1 was better.

Monogatari is still better than generic LN haremshit KyoAni animates these days.

>>158206289
To hopefully improve them. They were dreadful in the series.

>>158212483
Monogatari LNs are decent, anime adaptations arent - probably the worst Nishio "adaptation".. no, that`d be Zaregoto - Shaft completely slaugthered best Nishio work.

You`ll realize how shit anime is if you read the novels or even compare with Live Action adaptation of Okitegami Kyouko: which is actually probably best Nishi adaptation to date.

Katanagatari is inferior novel to Bakemonogatari, but its still superior adaptation to what Shitbo did.

>>158212483
VEG is superior

>>158210127
The books for S2 were written before the anime was announced. S1 is one book stretched out to 13 episodes with a ton of original content, S2 is mostly the second and third books. All the Asuka/Nationals stuff is a separate book to the Nozomi stuff. I was impressed by how well Kyoani progressed the story between the two books.

>>158212553

Monogatari is walls of text the series. Go ahead and show me a studio that could adapt it better.

Not even mentioning that Monogatari is one of the most successful anime adaptations in history.

>>158212278
>So why did KyoAni suddenly decide to go full Movies? They discovered that the movie bussiness model brings direct money, even with lower popularity as compared to making TV anime?
That's just because you haven't been paying attention. KyoAni's standard formula is two seasons plus one film that may or maynot be a recap. They are one of the most reliable sources of anime sequels in the industry. If they can make a sequel, they always do.

>>158212629
Shuka/old Brainbase. Plenty of other studios, the main requirement is just to have good director. Monogatari novels arent big, in fact, they are rather slim (compared to likes of Horizon in the Middle of Nowhere), their main appeal is Nishio language and intricate writing. Its not complex nor big - its just well crafted.

On other hand, the reason Bakemonogatari anime became popular is not even Nishio popularity, but because Shaft turned it into Pornogatari - all fanservice and Shaft personal visual style, no substance. Current monogatari anime series is epitome of "fanservice" - absolutely everything in it is attempt to appeal via style: erotic, poses, visuals, conflicts, how dialogues are adapted. Everything to appeal to teenagers and look "cool".

It could be entirely different experience if done by other people, considering the story on large is actually decent and Nishio writing provides great material.

Its like say, if Eccentric Family was made by Shaft right now - it`ll look exactly like Monogatari too, and maybe be as popular: except that would be insult to novel and author.

At least Nishio doesnt give a fuck and himself likes overthetop nonsense (ironically Medaka box, with all flaws is better "adaptation" than Shaft works are too)

>>158212771
That has nothing to do with the question. Making a movie for their series and recaps is normal to them.

Going full year without announced anime and producing minimum 6 (likely more, since VEG is not listed there yet) movies and telling "Its Movie Year, baby!" is something new.

There is still no TV anime announcements for 2017/2018, and given that now they have hands full with a lot of movies there might be none at all. I doubt they`d adapta Manzaika/Gay Archers/Robot Heart and that other novel in passing by along the Movies, they already should be 110% busy. VEG alone is high profile enouth for them to focus lot of resource on it, and now theres 6 other major works. (well, 1 recap)

>>158212480
Yamada is doing the first non-recap Hibike movie, why would they fire her when she's been incredibly successful ? Oh wait I know, because "UWAAAAH MOMMY IM TIRED OF YAMADAFAAAAGS !".

Why the hell are they wasting all this time and effort on mediocre series barely anyone cares about?

>>158212816

It's funny that you are complaining about style over substance while defending KyoAni.

Phantom World, KnK, Chuu2 and Amagi were 100% style over substance.

>>158212920
Yamada did shit in Hibike aside from making few plot decisions, majority of work was done by Ishihara - especially in S2, where Yamada was pretty much not involved other than in a name.

She only directed 1! episode in S1 and 1 in S2, and neither comparable to the better ones by Takemoto, Ishihara or especially Ishidate, Ogawa and Fujita. Same with storyboards.

Yamada is a meme. Yamada "involvement" in Hibike is like telling Urobuchi is responsible for Aldnoah and Gargantia.

Main praise for script goes to Hanada, overall productino and direction of series to Ishihara and most of particularly great moments to directors of specific episodes. All Yamada did is tell Ishihara "she doesnt have time to look at storyboards" and made decision to make it more yuri overall.

>There is still no TV anime announcements for 2017/2018
And why should they? They are not Kadokawa, they don't have a mountain of stories to pick from. Your mistake is thinking that there is something wrong with not releasing a TV series for a 1 year period.

Yeah, just like Gonzo & Gainax amirite?

>>158213114
Financially? There probably is something wrong. It means no one is giving them money.

>>158213114

Movies are more expensive to produce and harder to make profit off. No TV series at all is a bad sign.

>>158213206

Why would anyone? All their adaptations since K-On were failures. That's 6 years.

>>158213079
Son, I don't care about your distaste for Yamada. I never even attributed Hibike to her so what the fuck are you even talking about ? Im just saying she'll be in charge of one of the movies that's all.
Personally I like her work, but I love Ishihara's and Takemoto's work as well. I don't care that you think she's overhyped, Im not even a fan of hers. That's why I hate "anti-studio/personality" fags, you're all so fucking autistic you can only see shit through your prism.

>>158212877
Violet Evergarden is in production though. I think they went full movie this year because it allow them to cash in on their most popular licenses. Since the only anime that'll have a new TV adaptation will most likely be Free! (kill me) it's a good way to close the curtain on the others before moving on to Evergarden, Free! S3 and whatever is coming next.

>>158213076
Absolutely wrong. Monogatari is style over substance because of how adaptation is done - its entirely Shaft decision and fault. Meanwhile the Novels are actually decent (also commercialized, so later installments not so much).

Meanwhile Phantom World, Chu2 had little "substance" to begin with and were pretty much creative tabula rasa for KyoAni, with intent to create light entertainment shows, pure comedies.

Amagi is adaptation, and one whos all details were personally superwised and changed from novel by Author - Gotoh. Novel is actually quite decent, also its bit dark satire. Gotoh himself chose what and how to do and by all means anime represents the AUTHOR idea perfectly.

KnK was a case where KyoAni kinda fell flat, since they decided to tone down the story and "dark" of the novel for TV - which they however eventually fixed with OAV and movies. Its also anything, but "style over substance" - style plays little role in it, its basically a tragic love story and as such executed by Ishidate great - being the best Love anime by KyoAni, though they could have done better job showing the world of knk with all its factions and intrigues. Still great work when observed as complete package - it all comes together when you know the story as whole, from prequel OVA to final movie.

Hell, even Maid Dragon KyoAni managed to give some substance - turning an explicite ecchi and ranchi gag manga into somewhat melancholic ode about loneliness.

The one i fear KyoAni might actually fail to do though is VEG - since its "substance" is rather heavy at times, and i fear KyoAni might chose to tone it done for anime, which i woudnt want.

>>158213219

They have 4 novels published and promoted by them right now that`ll likely to get eventually anime adaptations too.

VEG 100% and is in the works.
Manzaika - 80% likely
Gay Archers - their replacement to Free!
Robot Heart Update - next novel already announced so anime likely too
plus there is another one recent that looks pretty good

>>158213263
Absolutely wrong.

Kyoani shows are constant close ups or wide shots with sparkles, bubbles, and tons of lighting after effects everywhere to cover up most of the screen. Then even when you can see the screen they smudge grease all over it because Bloodborne was their favorite game. Then they waste time trying to make everything seem deep but it's really just basic bitch dime store novel schlock but EYE SHOT, hesitant speaking, and then right when there is going to be some animation they pan away to the sky with lens flare and dramatic pop music.

>>158213277

Anime movies are not Hollywood blockbusters. They don't stick as much as TV series people watch over at least 3 months.

The real $ in anime industry lies with merchandise. It's all about advertising merchandise. Movies are simply worse at that than TV series.

>>158213332
>real money is merchandise
Which is why Sunrise will always be king. Fuckers have gunpla to carry them forever and always find a way to make a new show that shits money in merchandise on the side. Love Live made enough money that Sunrise could probably animate every television show they have coming up in OVA quality if they felt like it.

>>158213107
>Realistically it's probably because there are no sponsors and KyoAni can't get TV slots because of it.
Interesting point there. TV slots COST money, that KyoAni had to pay for upfront and only get recuperated later with DVD sales. While with cinemas the cost of screenings is deducted from the earnings. This meant as long as cinemas are WILLING to show your films, you will actually not need to pay the cinemas upfront.

Now, previously anime films were so expensive that only star directors like Miyazaki can afford them. But these days we know Japanese cinemas seem to be receptive to lower budget anime films.

So it is actually likely not KyoAni that changed their policies, but that cinemas had become more willing partners and thus making it an attractive proposition to make anime films.

The main obstacle had always been how many cinema screens can you get. Cinemas have no obligation to screen your film if they didn't want to.

I am not aware that current Gonzo or Gainax is making films. So I have no idea why you mention them for.

>>158213396
Running a theater is pretty shit to be honest. You actually have to buy the license to show a film. Ticket prices largely increased because the cost of licensing sky rocketed. Yet because of the blockbuster you absolutely had to have the big film to get people to come to the theater.

Most cinema don't even make money off of showing films anymore. They make most of the money off of food sales.

Incidentally there is an explosion of anime films in the last five years. So this is not a KyoAni thing but an industry thing. SAO is getting films, idol anime are getting films, this isn't normal. Usually only shonen manga get films, like Bleach, Naruto, and Attack on Titan. So if you think a bit more it is more a change in how anime is distributed.

Are you really this new? OVAs and Films were more normal in the 90s and early 2000s. Film cuts of television series were commonplace as fuck and a lot of series had the "true end" presented as a film.

Well for whatever reason, cinema owners have decided that anime audiences are worth their time in recent history. Perhaps it is because of all the collectable merchandise they can sell at the food stall? People would pay extra to have their favourite waifu on a popcorn box.

Or in this case, paying 4000 yen for an Evangelion popcorn box at Universal Studios Japan.

You are describing recap films, which always existed. I am talking about non-recaps.

>>158213612
So you are actually new and you don't know how to read.

>>158213396
>>158213522
This. Theaters seems to have gained a much bigger place in anime distribution. Screening/pre-screening events for new series, movies and movie series (KnK, Unicorn, Kizu). With the current event culture that is flourishing in the otaku culture (probably because of idol anime) and as otakus get older I guess it's not surprising for theaters to become more popular with anime.
>>158213593
OVAs aren't movies anon. It was a different model that had nothing to do with theaters.

>So you are actually new and you don't know how to read.

>>158213755
>I'm calling you new because you seem to think this is a new trend even though some of the most famous finales to properties have been done in film.
And I am not new because anime films had been difficult to justify except for extremely major hits, and was the case for a long time. But there is no point discussing this with you if you only remember the big anime properties. The whole point is that you can get cinemas to screen your film easier now. But if all you can think of is really big anime properties of the past then obviously you ignore all the ones that never got made.

And it is silly that you keep trying to accuse me of being "new". Are you compensating for something?

>>158213867
>But if all you can think of is really big anime properties of the past
Are you saying SAO and Love Live aren't huge properties? Either they're tiny niche products and that proves your statement or you're a retard that just undermined your own point.

>>158213867
>And I am not new because anime films had been difficult to justify except for extremely major hits, and was the case for a long time
This is bullshit. Gundam was initially considered a failure and was canceled, yet it managed to 3 movies.

>>158213945
Eva was also a failure on television. End of Eva blew the entire property up into the stratosphere.

Speaking of Gundam, there was also Char's Counterattack which was 100% new and original content.

>>158213970
>Eva was also a failure on television.
Absolutely false. Evangelion was a massive hit and Gainax ended up with more money than they knew what to do with. And that was the actual excuse they used for saying they forgot to pay taxes on it. They got caught for tax evasion because Evangelion bumped them up a tax bracket, and they claim they didn't realise they had extra taxes to pay.

>>158212877
VEG is being prescreened in Fall and airing in Winter.

Free is the only hit on the list and it was anime original.

>>158216001
Koe no Katachi is unironically bigger than Keion.

>>158216001
None of them were failures.

>>158213250
>Hyouka has an average of 10k sales per volume.
>Amagi has an average of 6k sales per volume.
>Chuunibyo S2 has an average of 7k sales per volume.
>Hibike S1 has an average of 8k sales per volume.
>Hibike S2 full numbers aren't in yet, but every week a new BD comes out it ends up being in the top 3 best sellers with 5k+ sales, except for the week where Koe no Katachi released.
>Free! S2 has an average of 22k sales per volume.
>Koe no Katachi managed to be second on the box-office and sold 30k+ BDs.

Even their least successful anime didn't bomb. Free! and Koe no Katachi were both big successes, especially since Free! is their own IP. None of their work have been failures, except maybe (maybe) Phantom World, and that's because I didn't look up the numbers for it.

>>158216001
>moving the goal post
Most productions aren't anime original. And anime original is not a mark of quality (Izetta and Aldnoah are good examples of that).

Phantom World would have been their best seller in history if it was about Enigma instead.

>>158216906
>Phantom World would have been their best seller in history if it was about Enigma instead.
KyoAni might have been right to remove the grimdark elements from the novel, but they didn't replace it with anything. The problem is that Phantom World is just too ordinary, and would not stand out even if released 5 years ago.

>>158212816
>they are rather slim (compared to likes of Horizon in the Middle of Nowhere)
You should never use Horizon as a comparison because they are the outlier.

You wouldn't compare them to the shortest LN and call them thick so you shouldn't compare them to the longest LNs and call them slim.

They're probably just average.

>>158217039
>remove the grimdark elements from the novel
Like what?

What the fuck do people see in Hibike?

I hope they make the movie about the anime cast this time, no one wants to watch a movie about
fucking boring new original characters.

>>158217284
A story of a school band doing their best to get to the nationals.

And fluffy hair. I must admit that is what attracted me the most.

>>158217284
I dropped season 2 like 4-5 episodes in. It's way too boring and I'm sure most of the people that watched it were retarded yurishitters waiting for more yuribait.

>>158217284
>What the fuck do people see in Hibike?
It portrays school life not as soap opera but as it is remembered by people. The author wrote the story as exaggerated version of her own past. This tend to be the kind of story that are the most sincere and personal.

>>158217309
If it was a musical themed sports anime then I probably would have enjoyed it, but it was just a thin veneer of that on top of shitty teenager angst and melodrama.

>>158217321
I wasn't even turned off by the yuribait because I honestly didn't see most of it. I just assumed /u/ were trolling.

>>158217337
>not as soap opera
What the fuck kind of all-girl's bitchfest of a high school did these people go to that this is realistic?

>>158213307
Translation: I really care about studio war stuff, but I don't have an argument.

>>158217337
>not as soap opera
The second season disagrees with you

>>158217284
Yuribait and drama, I don't like coming-of-age stories, so I dropped this fast, but my taste is dubious since I unironically believe that DragonMaid is one of the better Kyoani anime from the last few years.

>>158217321
I also found the Mizore arc to be weak. But overall I liked S2. The characters and their interactions is the strongest point of the serie for me. The animation (especially the top tier acting animation) makes it even better.
Never cared about /u/ since the anime makes it very clear that Reina want Taki's D right from the start. But I would lie if yurishitters tears didn't feel good.

Just finished Eupho S2.

That was meant platonically at the end, right? I really can't tell if it was a legit kokuhaku or some of the most over-the-top yuribaiting I've ever seen.

>>158202981
Are they all original or just shitty compilations?

>>158217284
Some of the most mellow, realistic character interactions and movements in a drama anime. Sure, you still got your crying and yelling sometimes, but most of the dialogue and blocking is subdued. Feels closer to actual people and not anime characters.

Every time someone says this I recommended them to rewatch the two sister's conversation as they prepare dinner in s2 and defy anyone to tell me this is how real people talk. Neither I nor my sister have ever spoken like that, least of all to each other.

>>158217717
The voice acting elevates it a lot.

>>158217780
I doubt you and your sister have a similar strained relationship and portrayed gutspilling that Kumiko and her sister had. I just finished watching it and it felt exactly right. Regardless, I already said the show wasn't perfect, the ending with Asuka was overwrought to me for instance, but MOST of the show is emotionally and behaviorally on point, especially in comparison to most shows.

>>158202981
KyoAni just keeps growing. I hope they surpass peak Ghibli one day.

So these movies are for their own IPs?
Are they gonna make Phantom World and Maid Dragon movies too?

>>158212629
This. See, wordplay doesn't exactly translate well to the screen. Shaft managed to convey the effect of their wordplay in an animated medium.

>>158218203
Probably not.

>>158213263
How is Monogatari style over substance? The story is told from the POV of a horny solipsist teenage boy who doesn't care about most people; hence the eerily vacant "sets". Bake especially does a good job of conveying the isolation the girls feel due to their "oddities".

>>158213327
But using tiresome memes as a calling card and style-over-substance direction is good when based GODani does it!

>>158217521
If Asuka was a guy no one would think it was platonic or bait, but she's a girl so it was just adolescence.

>highschool melodrama about swimming
>highschool melodrama about a yuri band
I love Rikka so nothing to say, but Kyoani should try out something else

>>158219023
They just did Maidragon and have VEG next year

>>158218203
>Phantom World

I sure hope not. Not after everyone is close to forgetting it. Attracting shit fans isn't worth new content.

This information's been out for 3 weeks, for some reason people think Violet Evergarden is never going to air though.

>>158213079
Downplaying Yamada's involvement in Eupho just because other people downplay Ishihara's involvement is stupid. They were both fundamental to the work that came out.

>>158218203
Don't know about phantom world but maid dragon will definitely get more stuff thanks to chink sales.
