KyoAni Cancels 9th Annual Kyoto Animation Award

>>160114350
Kyoani should drop trash like Hibike and Free!

>>160114398
Not Chuunibyou? That's arguably the most shitty out of those three there.

>>160114350
>KyoAni's extreme pickiness
LEL.
So, Phantom Flop tier story is magnum opus by Kyoani standard.

Isnt there a big rumor going around that kyo ani is going to make violet evergarden their final TV series?

>>160114350
Maybe they've finally learned from adapting their own IP.

>>160114491
>MUNTO
>The World Reflected in the Eyes of the Girl Looking Up at the Sky
>Sales: < 300 units

Please no, KyoAni tried and it failed so horribly. They're only good at visuals and tweaking an existing story.

>>160114350
Too many isekai

>>160114487
>Kyoani is going to make violet evergarden their final TV series
No, faggot. Is this your first week on /a/?
Jesus, you're being meme'd by /a/ for good.

They already explained that they were changing how it works.

>>160114350
I hope Kyoani picks a good manga or ln to adapt in my lifetime.

>>160114451
No, only VEG won their grand prize.

>>160114350
They want to own the IP completely which any non kyoani loving writer would stay clear off.

Notice how KyoAni's output has only gotten worse since they ditched Kadokawa. They only adapt absolute trash now.

>>160118082
I haven't noticed any change. They've always been hit or miss.

>>160118468
To be fair, anyone entering this year's can simply save their manuscripts or even polish them up and submit them next year.


My money is on that KyoAni got way too many isekai entries and they're too busy animating movies for Free!, Euphonium, and Chuu2 to have the staff to spare for judging.

>>160119516
I know but my character is dying from starvation

Though it's just a made up story don't call the cops

KyoAni cancelled it because they finally realized they're worthless.

Can't get a spot to represent Japan in the Olympics even though Love Live, idolm@ster, and Miku are doing a live concert there.

Don't get invited to be part of the Kyoto cultural ambassador program; instead they have to watch PA Works make a tanuki show for it.

No directors, writers, or composers want to work with them because they consider KyoAni a dead end studio and if you do join them for a project you'll be stuck there with no hopes of getting out.

No sponsors give them money to make anything.

No manga or novelist want their works adapted by kyoani and would literally even pick Deen over them if they had to.

What went wrong?

Is anyone going to point out that Hibike has nothing to do with their contest?

>>160119932
They tried to take control of publishing without realizing that also requires having writing talent on board.

>>160114350
I bet all the entries were isekai's.

>>160120662
I'm pretty sure they already had a no isekai rule in place.

>>160120731
That wasn't them.

>>160114398
>Kyoani should drop their only recent title that sold well
Idiot, enjoy your new fuccbois swimming movie.

>>160119858
>even though Love Live, idolm@ster, and Miku are doing a live concert there.
>no rapeman
Bummer.

That so?

>>160114536
Munto doesn't really count; It was just a marketing tool that they could use to show production committees that they could put out a professional quality production if they were hired.

>>160120827
Chunibyo, Free, and Koe no Katachi made more.

>>160120941
>Chunibyo, Free, and Koe no Katachi made more.
>Free
Yeah, that's my point.

>>160120941
>hibikes, chu2 and free are their cash cows
Please let the milking end with these new movies

>>160119858
Uchouten by Kyoani would have been nice though.

That is literally a lie. The Eupho author was certainly amazed that KyoAni wanted to make an anime with her books.

The issue with KyoAni is that they refuse to get pushed around. That if you want to hire them, you have to work around THEIR schedule. If you need an anime done next year, and KyoAni said no, that's the end of that.

Many other studios would take any job offered, no matter how busy they already are. So if you have a timetable in mind then you wouldn't go for KyoAni.

>there's no good contestant
>yeah just give to whoever to fill the space
/a/ logic. That's why awards like Oscar or even Nobel Prize become shittier every year.

Probably not enough submissions.

Glad they're stepping away from the light novel adaptations.

>>160114350
>The award has been held annually and only produced a single Grand Prize winner in the past 8 years
I think that's your reason over there.

>>160124354
Funny story, but when I visited Japan, the only place I saw that had their LNs was Akihabara. Even the usual bookstores that normally have other LNs didn't have KA Esuma's books, and I checked during the three times I went there.

>>160124485
I'm sure they need to pay to be in mainstream bookstores and it's not cheap.

>>160124604
Not really. I went to 7-Eleven of all places and there were some not-so-maintream manga (like Kosaki-chan) and a few LNs. Given how most LNs could be bought even in the regular bookstores but not KyoAni's LNs, they must be doing something wrong. That and that none of their LNs have ever charted on the book charts, with the sole exception of High Speed.

>>160124672
I used to work at a bookstore and currently work as a game developer. You do have to shit out a lot of money to have big chains put your shit on the shelves, and on top of that they also take commission. I have no idea if this works the same in Japan as it does in the west, but why wouldn't it? The Kyoani label is very small and even manga like Kosaki-chan belong to Shonen Jump, there's just no comparison there between labels.

>>160124869
Given I've seen even somewhat obscure and niche LNs in at the very least the general bookstores, it's still weird that KyoAni's books are rare. I know their publishing label isn't exactly big but if even the independent stores (which probably charge less) don't have your books, well...

?

>>160126602
Hibike is a novel adaptation

>>160120923
>Munto doesn't really count

Yes because ...

>It was just a marketing tool that they could use to show production committees that they could put out a professional quality production if they were hired.

Except the fact they oh, did it THREE TIMES.

The 2 episodes OVA they did back 2003
The 9 episodes they did back in 2009
And the movie they also did did in 2009

Not counting the manga ... so, explain how they did it THREE TIMES as a marketing tool?

>>160120827
He called Free! trash too you mongoloid.

>>160114553
Probably this.

Yes, but the light novel end a good time ago, and the anime covers all the 3 volumes. There's a LN with Kumiko's friend, the blue semen demon but Kyoani doesn't want a spin-off, they want more Mizore-Nozomi drama (1st movie) and 2nd year Kumiko

>>160126966
What I meant was that Hibike is not a light novel. It's a novel.

>>160120923

Munto was a passion project by the studio's top veteran animator. Naturally the studio would support his efforts since he's a highly respected figure and has been with them since the early days. Unfortunately, Munto is one of the many examples of what happens when you let a great animator direct and write- nothing good comes out of it.

>>160127144
Did he retire soon after or (ahem) "get retired"?

Kyoani is a Yakuza front after all.

>>160127365
He's still very much with the studio, he just hasn't directed a show of his own since. That said, he's the studio's best episode director and animator, some people just aren't cut out for writing and leading an entire project.

>>160121190
>>160121220
I actually started drawing a Tamako/Uchouten crossover fanart thing for a thread many months ago but never finished it

>>160121726
Kyoani has to make their own LN publishing arm because authors were choosing to not option their works with Kyoani.

Press S to spit on Kyoani's grave

>>160127419
>best episode director
But that's Ishidate or Fujita.

>>160114350
They're finally abandoning the garbage fire that are light novels.

KyoAni truly saving anime.

>Kyoani has to make their own LN publishing arm because authors were choosing to not option their works with Kyoani.
What nutjub sentence is that?

No, seriously, you would only say that if you literally don't know how novels get animated.

all are trash
