More important than the actual plot desu

>>160148677
I don't care about it.

>>160148677
dont give a shit

Visual direction is worthless unless they have a good series composition guy setting the mood.

Visual direction sets the mood.

I'm a brain let who isn't able to differentiate good visual direction from subpar visual direction unless shown a really egregious comparison.

>>160148677
It was mediocre on ACCA thirteen though. Learn some kino please.

No it doesn't, it merely provides a style. Take Seiji Kishi's work for example. It usually has crisp, clean artwork that faithfully adapts the original style (AssClass for example) but the actual way the scenes function is as bland as can be. It needs to have the right timing, pauses in the dialogue, etc. which the series composition guy does separate from the visual director.

>>160153820
Basically. It all boils down to the director.

Found the pleb.

Storyboarding is part of 'visual direction', it's not done by the scriptwriter

>Storyboarding is part of 'visual direction'
No it's not unless you're arguing semantics and not how anime production is actually being done.

>>160154079

Fuck off.

>>160156604
What's your beef with kino?

>>160156575
Nobody who's talking seriously reduces 'visual direction' to background art and colors anon

Visual direction can make a great work even better, but it can't make a shit script good.

>>160156425
There's a reason why series composition, script writer, visual director, and director are listed as separate roles.

And the one responsible for things such as
>the right timing, pauses in the dialogue, etc
Is the guy who draws the storyboard. Not the scriptwriter.

If you are unfamiliar with what 'storyboard' means in the context of anime production, then read up on it. But the retard(s) who invented these threads weren't using the visual direction term in direct reference to the production pipeline, only to categorize and divide the final product.
