Good use of 3d in anime

I kinda hate the insane amount of bloom that is used in every scene but it's understandable since it's a Mahō shōjo

Honesty, in the other ones they look like supermodels, all tall and thin and stuff. I think the designs in hacha just lend themselves to 3d a little better, but they also did a really good job with the animation. krkr's EDs have come close, but still not as good as those of HaCha

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zqhwPiISajI
You all need to learn what a good 3d anime look like

>>161407049
Are you being sarcastic? It's fucking impressive for a '83 anime

CG or not, what I cannot really like about those ED idol dance sequences is that the girls always dance in perfect unison.

>>161407022
I think the stick-thin character designs appeal to Japanese girls and women. I've seen/read a ton of shoujo, josei, and yuri series that do that.

Everything is better than HeartCatch Precure in 3d. It's expecialy jarring when they dance close to the other precure

>>161406875
Okay, that one's really looking good.

>>161407314
It's the best animated one for sure. The main problem with 3d has always been the dead eyes effect and here it's completely avoided

Can someone explain how they managed to achieve a 2d look? I mean the face has no shadow, the hand is fully cell shaded and other part of the body are randomly with or without shades

You can configure individual surfaces whether they should participate in global shading or not.
Similarly they can be configured so that shading only kicks in when the light angles exceed some thresholds, that avoids the shadow creeping over the surface when they turn slightly.

My theory is that toei uses precure EDs as a sort of testbed or training ground for their CG animators. I guess someone wanted to try something with hair that was not is not a blob of jelly or a ribbons of paper.

They applied it again in kado and it worked there.

I would say it depends on the subject matter too. Scenery will generally benefit from being handdrawn with a few exceptions. Mecha and spaceships on the other hand are especially well-suited to 3D and can in principle benefit from it because you can pull higher complexity without making your animators jump from the roof in protest.

Interior designs are a mixed back. Handdrawn ones look gorgeous compared to 3D ones, but then you often end up with a single perspective, using some 3D at least for object placement and then drawing over it can give you multiple consistent perspectives.

I think it is best when used as just another tool in the toolbox. Pick the best one for the job instead of using either exclusively.

Toei also released a BD with just the TV EDs up to Doki. https://nyaa.si/view/538023

Precure is aimed at three to five year old little girls, still, it's better than your modern edgy wannabe mahou shoujo otaku bait, and it's the only remaining real mahou shoujo left in the anime industry, still watched by adults, celebrities and well-known artists in Japan, surpassing Dragon Ball as the most referenced title in anime industry.

Specially since Toei is always fucking cheap.

>>161432651
Precure privilige

For all the effort put into the CG animation in these I still prefer stuff like gdgd Fairies, Tesabu and Kemono Friends. I think it is probably the fact that they aren't even trying that makes it look acceptable.

Initially it was just EDs and stock footage. Use in action scenes and for movies was only added later.

Precure doesn't require much animation. 90% slice of life with plain watercolor backgrounds, 7% stock footage, 3% genuine action.

>>161432837

This is a bit of a overstatement, probably true for a few seasons like Y5GoGo, that thing was stock footage encarnate.

To some extent I think the type of show makes the cheap CG work too. gdgd Fairies and Tesabu are comedies that often even use the CG to make them more funny. Then I saw this short
https://twitter.com/irodori7/status/897411972429357057
and thought I would quite happily watch a Kino no Tabi/Mushishi iyashikei type anime in that setting and didn't think the animation hindered it at all.

>fanfiction mode
There is probably something to be said for this too. The team behind the animation on most of those shows is literally taken from nico MMD animators that the studio scouted.

>>161422080
Well now she has found a better hair dresser

>>161433674
Another thing I would say about these coming across as more 2D anime feeling is that they tend to keep to the flat shots just like 2D anime does. 3D anime often seems to feel the need to overuse their new camera tricks they have because it is 3D and that gives a significantly different viewing experience to 2D anime.

>>161433788
Yeah, going overboard with camera motion is a big issue.
hollywood had a similar problem with the 3D craze. They did way too much with it until directors learned to tone it down and not being "showy" with that new feature.

>>161432047
This is also incorrect, saw some three year olds while taking some pics on a kig show and in theaters, also senior citizen Hideaki Anno watch Precure after Kamen Rider, Berserk and blech authors still watch it annually, other mangakas and VN authors at their 40s still watching, Nana Mizuki and other seiyuu at their 40s till following it, and some idols, gravure and JAV idols, comedians, wrestlers, athletes at their 40s.

High quality westboo 3d animation

>>161436233
Still a bigger financial success than any other 3D anime.

>>161437813
Yeah but that doesn't means it will lead to any golden age of 3D animation, if anything it encourage using low quality CG.

>>161437852
The way I see it, KF's success shows to the rest of the industry that 3D animation is a viable form of animation that Japanese audiences can be positively receptive toward if done right.

Then again, 3D animation didn't see much of a rise after GuP despite its usage of it so most likely rather than poor 3D animation becoming popular, kemonomimi will have a resurgence.

>>161437852
I don't think its success could be imitated even by the people that did it the first time around to be honest anyway. Big studios like Sanzigen or Polygon Pictures couldn't make a show like it if they tried. Their whole workflow is completely different. The real effect it might have as Seiji Mizushima said is to make production committees and creators realise that having all the high quality animation you want isn't going to sell anime unless there is a story that engages people that it is being used to tell. People are willing to forgive almost anything in terms of animation if the story speaks to them and that is what Kemono Friends demonstrates more so then anything. Just look at how people still enjoy classic TV shows of the past today when the animation quality is fairly abysmal often times. It is the same kind of thing that happened with Kemono Friends, initially people have a negative reaction to the animation quality but if they get past that and give it a chance they can fall in love with what is good about it and get over the animation and even come to like it for what it is.

>>161437960
Things like Knights of Sidonia, Expelled from Paradise and Arpeggio of Blue Steel did a lot for proving full 3D productions could be successful.

>>161438172
>unless there is a story that engages people that it is being used to tell
Sure, but that doesn't affects the quality of CG at all.

>initially people have a negative reaction to the animation quality but if they get past that and give it a chance they can fall in love with what is good
Yes, that's if they get pass the initial negative reaction, and that depends mostly of luck. There is a lot of anime just as good as Kemono Friends that never made it big simply because an audience big enough was never built around it.

>>161438440
The funny thing there is without the poor quality CG Kemono Friends like would have just been one of those many forgotten anime in my opinion.

>>161419672

>>161438581
The curiosity about the poor animation attracted a core group of initial watchers for the "what the fuck even is this factor" who kept watching and realised it had something to it then spread its popularity outwards to the mainstream from futaba and 2ch onto twitter. If you look at the reactions on 2ch to the first episode it is very mixed to negative with people making comments about the poor CG and saying things like "is this a college students graduating project or something" and "looks like an amateur production". This meme became quite popular on Japanese twitter in Japanese around the time the show was getting popular.

So I don't think it would work again if other creators and companies tried to cynically exploit the success of the poor CG in Kemono Friends because it won't have that same "what the fuck is this?" impact on people. If companies do try they will probably fail and quickly realise it won't work again. The only people that can probably keep doing this kind of animation with success is the people behind Kemono Friends (Tatsuki/irodori) and people they used to work with like Ishidate from gdgd Fairies and Tesabu.
