It's called "20min Walk From Nishi-Ogikubo Station, 2 Bedrooms, Living Room, Dining Room, Kitchen, 2mos Deposit, No Pets Allowed"
How soon?
How much time left? I might stay awake for it.

It end up being a video of a girl walking for 20 minutes from Nishi-Ogikubo Station to an apartment she wants to visit before renting and it ends with her putting her hand on the door knob.
Not a single word during the travel.
It's out.

I'm saying this one was great, my point is that this entire project will go unnoticed except for me!me!me! because crossboarders like explosions and boobs
The people watching that don't know shit about animation, shit, there's people in this thread who have no idea who any of the key animators for this are.
>>118220133
Toshiyuki Inoue was named "Japan's Number One".
The other key animators(except for 2 newbies) are considered to be on the same level as him.
>>118220831
W-why?
>>118220989

>>118221000
People said they got into a fight when they're making Dennou Coil.
Honda quit his job as the chief animation director of the show because Iso was too hard on him.
But of course we'll never know for sure what happened.
>>118221000

That was cool.
That was cute as fuck
Thank you based Khara

I think it was more of creative differences. In Nip animation everyone's used to being berated and overworked.
>>118221064
Judging by this thread there are some intelligent anons left. We should expect to have interesting discussions about animation rather than getting dragged down by /v/ and crossboarders and general newfriends who don't know shit about what they're talking about.
/a/ is still elitist at heart.
>>118221187
>based Khara
Don't make this a thing.
Retards spouting "based" trigger and Imaishi was bad enough
So is Akira Honma's name actually Homma? They consistently spell it like that on the site.
Unless my memory is faulty it said Honma at first but it seems they have changed it at some point.
>>118221056
that's why animation nerds are shit. So pedantic
>>118221064
>>118221056
I dunno, it just still bothers me when I see stupid people talking about anime.
Can't believe I've been here this long and I think that.
>>118221249
Homma is the correct way pronounce it in Japanese but the name could be romanized both way.
It's like senpai and sempai.
>>118221203
I still believe those intelligent anons don't know what they're talking about. Reading Anipages doesn't make you animation expert
>>118221262
You could say the same for all of /a/ if you don't know what you're talking about. If you can't deal with elitism, go back to /v/
>>118221342
So call them out and tell them to lurk moar
>>118221378
No, but it's a good start. And hey, better to read them and know a little than to know nothing and still mouth off.
Man, that was really fucking good. I think this may be my favorite one yet, it certainly had the most story.
Welp, that was really good. I think I still like Dragon Dentist the most though.
>>118220989
>there's people in this thread who have no idea who any of the key animators for this are
Sorry, I just don't really know animators well enough to be excited about particular ones, or be able to match ones with a style outside of like... Yuasa.
Ifit was all a dreamthen she could have been wearing some damned clothes.
Pretty boring, but the ending was nice.
At least it is better than that MEMEME trash people kept spamming this board before.
>>118221529
>Yuasa
If anyone has a more vague style, I don't know. Especially becaus Yuasa got his style from Shin-Chan
>Sorry, I just don't really know animators well enough to be excited about particular ones
That's fine, just lurk and try to educate yourself, and don't act like a retard
so 20min Walk > Dragon Dentist > Carnage > rest is garbage
How do you tell when so many animators are listed in the credits which ones do what?
>>118221628
Really? I think his style is pretty obvious compared to some of this stuff... watching MADs now, and like, a lot of the people mentioned here >>118218613 seem to have a less distinct style. Then again, maybe it's mostly because they're all realists and Yuasa is more simplistic.
>>118221529
I prefer people who doesn't know much names but can explain why a cut is well animated/amazing than a pedant namedropping guy
>>118221781
You pretend you know, post in an authoritative manner online and people will believe you.
>>118221802
People need to understand one fact:
Asuka versus the MPE isn't good because it was animated by Iso, Iso is good because he animated Asuka versus the MPE.
>>118221781
some animators have distinct style. Also if you have a favourite animator, you guess it more easily.
Credits give some hints sometimes with the order (chronological order, importance order, number of cuts amount order)
>>118221802
Same anon as here >>118221529
– as an artist myself I can certainly appreciate well-directed and drawn animation, especially when it's very fluid and retains detail. I don't know that I could speak with any amount of authority since I've never cel animated anything myself, but I can certainly appreciate it.
>>118221998
the point i think everyone's trying to make is that you don't need to know every animator who's ever lived, you just need to appreciate it. The retards who went crazy over the other short weren't doing so because of the animation, they were just doing it because it was colorful and "lol so trippy xD"
>>118222080
Well, that anon said that he was disappointed there were people who have "no idea who any of the key animators for this are", which is a category I fall into, and that's what I was responding to in particular originally.
>>118221799
No, it's because Yuasa's style has been done by other animators, and he took it from others
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f311XTtqPgc
>>118221781
Because many of them have notable styles or mannerisms. Look at the ending of this short. The surrealist part, when it all got chaotic, was clearly Ohira, who's known for this shit.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=2v6iOVhw6mQ#t=59
Great example.
The others are a little harder, but you can tell Inoue and Okiura apart from the way they animate bodies and choreograph movements.
>>118221802
>>118222080
If you know about animation, it's natural to know about animators. Few film buffs have never heard about Kurosawa or Hitchcock. Same here. If someone claims to know about animation but not any animators, they're bullshitting you, and similarly someone who knows animators usually has better judge of animation than someone who doesn't.
There's nothing wrong in doing both. They don't conflict. If anything, knowing one strengthens the others. It's preferable to know both. I can more accurately describe the style of Kameda because I know about how smears work in animation, and knowledge of Obari lets you provide tangible examples of 80s effect lighting. And then there are effects tied to specific people. Dezaki and his postcard memories or Shinbou and his retarded fish-eyes.
You're just trying to find excuses at this point. The thing is, everyone can spout a half-baked "opinion" no matter how little they know. It takes some level, though a very minimal one, to know the people behind it.
>>118221900
Well, it goes both ways. If not for Iso's flair no one else could've done it that way. And he's done plenty of other stuff. GitS, Jojo, etc.
>>118221998
What kind of artist? You professional or amateur or a student?
>>118221857
Hey, if you can bluff that well you don't need to know shit.
>>118222322
Do you have a book to read to understand the basics? How did you learn what you did?
>>118218774

The other three had some sort of nudity or boobs.

>No, it's because Yuasa's style has been done by other animators, and he took it from others
Sure, but still, compared to the vast majority of anime his art style is distinct and it's pretty obvious when he's done something. Like, I know this isn't an accomplishment or anything, but I watched Cat Soup for the first time recently and was like "oh, this was animation directed by Yuasa," without looking it up, because it was obvious.
>What kind of artist? You professional or amateur or a student?
Professional in name only; I have a professional degree but haven't really been doing any professional work since graduation.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3ZJO5ex8za4
His animation style honestly isn't all that original. It's his usual subject matter and his cinematography on top that makes it apparent.
That is, though action shows often incorporate Yuasa's blurry lines and freeform shapes, Yuasa himself rarely works on them.
>>118222915
I still dun't get it. You say it like those works defined them or gave them the skills. But that's not true. Sistine chapel was a later work after Michaelangelo had already developed his skills and was well-known for David and Pieta and shit.

If names didn't entirely matter, wouldn't be ghost writers or labeling someone's name on something to make it sell better.

I agree you have to learn some vocabulary but you can have a good opinion without it. You can say 'blur' instead of 'smears' when you don't know the word i.e
Actually my point is some self acclaimed experts recognize names but can't really explain why it's good.

Mmm, I'm not really sure what you're saying. I mean, I know that he's not completely original, what I'm saying is that it seems to me that it's really obvious when he's done animation or directing work on something, compared to the realist animators where they each may have their own 'tinge' to something, but still may animate very similarly.
By the way, you see this week's Danna ga Nani wo Itteiru ka Wakaranai Ken? Imazaki was really good.

>>118223323
>I agree you have to learn some vocabulary but you can have a good opinion without it. You can say 'blur' instead of 'smears' when you don't know the word i.e
That's a very superficial way to look at it. Take it from my anecdote, that I can understand much more now about anime that I know about, well, animation, or the fact that it's agreed upon by every critic and artist out there. Your understanding and appreciation and judgement is expanded exponentially by your knowledge of the subject matter. Things you never would've thought of, like squash and stretch, become super apparent when you understand how it works.
Ultimately, animation, like any art, is a very deliberate device. It's filled with subtleties and techniques used to bring out responses. You don't realize them until you learn about animation, and when you do, it expands your worldview dramatically.
It's the difference between "this scene has good atmosphere" or "this part looks cool" and "The digital bloom and simulated short lens creates a realist effect" and "by omitting internal lines and complex shading, animators are given more freedom to animate distorted limb motion and play with perspective"
There's a reason every film 101 class starts with teaching you the tools of the trade. You need to know the tools to know their effects, or rather, the effects produced are only in relation to the tools. Saying that someone who has know knowledge of anime production can make worthwhile comments on anything but the most basic elements like story and characters is laughable.
>Actually my point is some self acclaimed experts recognize names but can't really explain why it's good.
And my point is, if they can recognize names, they're probably better off than someone who can't. You don't learn about even the basics of animation without knowing a few animators.
I fucking hate Mememe

I don't remember mememe showing up in this episode
>>118220418
So true, Mememe is an absolute abomination, one of the worst pieces of trash I have ever watched, thank god the other episodes were better or I would have dropped caring about this project from the beginning.
>>118224563
>>118224407
>Oh no it already got popular, better start hating on it
>>118224541
yeah, and that's why hardly anyone will watch it, god I hate those fucking assholes.
>>118224281
Yeah sure.
I found the limited animation really jarring. Not that it was choppy or anything, but because it was terribly inconsistent. The frame count changed so often, and commonly during action heavy scenes too. That's probably my biggest complaint with the episode.
>>118224541
>>118224407
>>118224563
I know the mememe hate bandwagon is strong but honestly it wasn't half bad. The music was good, the video wasn't badly animated or anything, and some parts were really creative. I like The way the palette got gradually darker as the video went on, from light blues and pastel yellows and pinks to Violets and Cerulean to Dark red and Purple and Navy blues. That was pretty creative I think.
That and, you know, tit cannons. And clit wire.

Mememe was absolute trash and it's fanbase is even worse, it's easily the worst short out of the ones shown off so far and considering how low it set the bar I don't think anything will be able to go lower if it tried.
>>118224405

Now you're really sounding ironic, the only bandwagon going on with mememe is the tit and fanservice jerkfest for it. Music was generic wubshit and the animation was choppy as fuck and nothing but a bunch of random images and scenes sloppily thrown together with no consistency.

Let's not be hasty, Hill Climb Girl is hideous.
>>118224640
I've disliked it since the first time I watched it. The reaction to it (hurr durr muh dick) just confirmed my dislike of it.
>>118224871
>The reaction to it (hurr durr muh dick) just confirmed *that I should be very vocal in* my dislike of it *because I like being special.*
>>118224703
Yeah I noticed the frame count too. But I think it gave it a cool effect because the frame count dropped during the beginning and end, where you familiarize yourself with the environment. It gives me this sort of drowsy feeling like in the morning.
Guys... can we stop talking about ME!ME!ME! and get back to talking about this one instead?
I thought this short was pretty cute and the animation was fucking great. I loved the pleasant pastel colors especially. It really brought out the whimsical mood.
>>118224923
That's an assumption, don't you think? I discussed it with people in those first threads, and yes, I expressed the fact that I disliked it and talked about why.
Fwiw, I'm not either of the people quoted here >>118224640. I was just stating that I disliked it even before it got shitposted incessantly for weeks.
>>118224923
First of all that's bullshit, the only vocal people have been the ones bandwagoning on mememe as some kind of super 2deep4u bullshit and fapping to the tits and fanservice, everyone else here saw it, disliked it from the start, and never talked about it again because it was genuine trash, there's nothing special about having taste.
>>118224955
The simpler explanation is that this is a quick short thingy, they don't need to have moment be on 1s or whatever shit.
>>118224744
>Simulating live-action camera artifice =/= "realist effect"
What's your definition of realism then? Early 20th century literature about immigrant workers?
If it tries to evoke a more natural feeling, a more authentic feeling, with the use of a camera nuance, then I'd call that a "realist effect". Granted, such things could also be used as a form of contrast or focus, but to say that bloom and simulated variable focus can't be used to evoke a feeling of the real world is just stupid. It's used in movies, video games, even anime all the time for that purpose.
Great example, Transformers. I don't like Bay's shit usually, don't get me wrong, but he uses bloom and very obstructive glares and lighting effects in CGI-heavy scenes to sort of obstruct that a little, take away from the obvious fakeness of it all by giving it realistic elements.
>>118224808
And Bach is just generic Baroqueshit

LOL you fucking faggot. i bet you wouldn't even touch teddyloid if he wasn't related to anime. not that hes anything more than generic EDM shit but MADE IN JAPAN WIF ANIMEZ
go back to listening to anime OPs and gorillaz you fucking dumb pleb nigger

>I disliked it even before
Oh you special little snowflake, how do you survive in this cruel world
>>118225013
Yeah, no. People started throwing a hissy fit about ME!ME!ME! within this thread without provocation. That's being vocal.
>>118224852
Except that's what he is
>>118224405
>Saying that someone who has know knowledge of anime production can make worthwhile comments on anything but the most basic elements like story and characters is laughable.
I kinda agree but I believe there're things you can tell like realistic physics or fluidity. Having other background can help (cinema, science). It's a way of commenting animation even it's just an aspect. Still better than "omg okiura oh shit inoue is god go lurk moar faggot"
>And my point is, if they can recognize names, they're probably better off than someone who can't. You don't learn about even the basics of animation without knowing a few animators.
Sometimes I doubt it when I read posts here but you are theoretically right. Problem is the lack of source about japanese animation. You mostly learn basics from western books. You can read the whole Animator's Survival Kit without learning anything about japanese names.
>>118225099
You're trying too hard. I'm just saying that popularity had nothing to do with my dislike of it.
>>118225097
>hurr durr faggot fuck you
>>118225102
The provocation is that hardly anyone will be talking about this, let alone any of the other episodes from the expo, because everyone just jumps all over mememe like a bunch of retards and work that actually took effort and actually has some good things to it like this episode will be ignored by the masses, it says a whole fucking lot about the anime industry today as a whole.
>>118225172
you gonna give a rebuttal or just post reaction images?
sasuga retarded pleb nigger. go jack off to nearest japanese supersaw chord you dumbass pleb.
>>118225210
Yeah, so no provocation.
And your "solution" to this perceived problem is to take the one thread about this short and turn it into a thread about ME!ME!ME! Good job there.
>>118225052
I don't believe in the notion of "realistic" filming. Realistic content, characterization, drawing, animation, soundscape, dialogue, hell I'll even give you blocking and framing, but the film effects themselves are always taking away from reality no matter what.
This is why there's so many shitty "schools" of realism here. Handheld overly lo-fi stuff? Oh it's realist because it's as if it was real footage taken by random dudes!
Super careful, filtered, polished stuff? Oh it's realist because it emulates real world optics! (it doesn't)
What's "realistic" about bloom, focus pulls and grain filters? They're film effects that enhance perception. If you're already enhancing perception, you're going away from what perception is like in actual reality.
I usually don't care either way, but if I had to choose I'd say I'm against animated works aggressively chasing at these sorts of live-action filters and techniques used to work around the camera. Animation doesn't have a camera in the same way, it doesn't have to be limited by it.
>>118225254
What type of stimulus does a japanese supersaw chord provide?

It's nowhere near anipages freaking detailed posts or raito-kun's blog. I can understand because it's probably time consuming and not rewarding
Oh boy, hipsters in an Animator Expo thread.
Thanks for ruining everything as usual, faggots.
>>118225310
You're speaking from the position of those that did, regardless of whether it was you or not.
>Thread goes to shit the moment Me!Me!Me! is mentioned
It truly brings out the worst of the worst.
They're 30 shorts anyway, there are going to be a lot more and only faggots that watched mememe for the "wackiness" won't care.

Oh, definitely. Other backgrounds help a ton.
But that said, you need some background to understand it, be film or animation or whatever.
If people are telling you to lurk moar faggot, you probably should. Nothing personal. Of course, discussion is better, but if you don't know someone as famous as Okiura I don't know what to say.
>Sometimes I doubt it when I read posts here but you are theoretically right. Problem is the lack of source about japanese animation. You mostly learn basics from western books. You can read the whole Animator's Survival Kit without learning anything about japanese names.
In the end, what matters is your posting quality. If you understand animation well enough to give a reasoned response despite not knowing any names, No one will complain. Though rarely is it that way.
MeMeMe was still better

Reminder that these sort of people might have watched 500+ anime and think they're "hardcore" and have "a high powerlevel" and flail around in those 3x3 threads trying to be elitist as if they weren't extremely ignorant about their own hobby.
And if you even attempt to educate them, you're called "hipster" and "elitist", as if /a/ itself wasn't build around those two concepts.
In the end this board is just as anti-intellectual as all others, and it hates to be called out on it
These all fucking SUCK

>I don't believe in the notion of "realistic" filming. Realistic content, characterization, drawing, animation, soundscape, dialogue, hell I'll even give you blocking and framing, but the film effects themselves are always taking away from reality no matter what.
But it's not realistic fliming. It's realistic animation. You have to admit a difference between Lucky Star and, I dunno, Wandering Son.
>They're film effects that enhance perception.
But they don't "enhance" perception. They marr it. But they mar it in a way unique to reality, so when you see it in animation it reminds you of reality.
>I usually don't care either way, but if I had to choose I'd say I'm against animated works aggressively chasing at these sorts of live-action filters and techniques used to work around the camera.
I kind of agree, but that's your judgement on it. I'm saying, that realism, no matter how well it ended up working, was the intent and they do accomplish it to some degree.
Here's an interesting comparison I thought of while taking a shit.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5QYQS9SYa6A
Look at this scene closely. If you think about it, the way it's presented is terribly non-condusive to showing a fight. Worms-eye camera that stares at robots' crotch and gets too close to make out the fight very well. Ground-level tracking shots that can't even capture the robot's whole body. Obnoxious lighting effects that shine off every surface, and every other shot is inside a car. It's terrible at presenting an action scene, but it makes it feel more realistic. The low shots make it feel like you're watching it from inside the car. The lighting is shitty because real life lighting is shitty.
Now compare it to
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gwx0EArlgQE&feature=player_detailpage#t=25
Elegant, cinematic lighting. Far shots that capture the entirety of the action. The camera's steady and the music is intense. There's no concern for realism here, only an amazing fight.
>>118225618
Just because people didn't say it doesn't mean many didn't think it, now take a look at the thread, people are praising mememe now, that's bullshit.
>>118223440

Wrong thread mate.
Don't you think they have been enough MeMeMe! threads already?
>>118225729
Did it really need to be mentioned? I just assumed everyone would know and understand that it was a Kafka reference.
This jerky tension in the arms really reminds me of something but I can't think what
Maybe something from Tokyo Godfathers
>>118225470
I was extremely disappointed, after mediocre HCG and then that god awful turd I almost lost all faith in anything that was coming out of this expo, seriously I almost vomitted when I was done with that shit.

>>118225637
You don't try to educate people though. By telling people they are wrong and commanding them to go learn something you are trying to make them educate themselves. If you were actually trying to educate people hands on you would be getting a different response. It then enters upon the spoonfeeding argument of how much are you willing to give.
>>118225637

>But it's not realistic fliming. It's realistic animation
I was only talking about the filming, not the animation. Of course movement and drawing can be closer or further away from reality.
Even then, it can get diffuse as to what sort of "realism" is "more realist".
I don't think the concept of realism is all that useful for technical discussions/breakdowns honestly. It's more of an interpretation/critical analysis thing.
>>118225634
nice way to address the facts retard
btw post your last.fm so we can confirm your pleb taste
>>118225952
Still looks better than mememe.
>>118225974
No, but there's a difference between discussing airy, vague concepts like "realism" and talking about the creator's intent to make something look more "realistic."
Which is undeniable. Be it Tamako or Transformers.

>>118223172
You're really dumb, #sakugatrash. What I mean is that fame and popularity is irrelevant; the art is good because it is good, not because of the person who did it.
>>118225729
I was a bit like the Metamorphosis but also Honey I Shrunk the Kids.
>>118225813
The point to the conversation would be to compared the two.
The Metamorphosis serves to show how strange human relationships can be when taken out of context.
This pretty much did the same thing, only there wasn't a door separating the main character from her lover.
Also she changed back.
And then she was happy that the bug got squashed, only because she knew her little bf wasn't the bug.
Very shit ripoff of Kafka, losing everything that made The Metamorphosis good.
Anyway, that's what I got out of it. I'm sure there are some people who liked it who would disagree.
>>118225879
Nah, It's not in CGI. I think the Gundam frames one and HCG will always be low.
Why arent they subbing new episodes of shinchan.

so who did what ? only spotted ohira (easy level)

Okiura is also a director. He made Jin-Roh and A Letter to Momo, and was the character designer for films like Ghost in The Shell.
>>118225899
Oh but I try to educate them. I give details, links, and all that spoonfeeding stuff you retards loathe. But no, you're just "a pretentious namedropper" or a "hipster" or the funniest one, "who cares about this shit IT'S PORN CARTOONS XD"

You completely missed the point. I could link your own last.fm and you would just say it's shit and continue insulting me. Because that's all you know how to do.
>>118226218
The scene right after Ohira's is Hashimoto's.
I'm not sure about the rest.
You might want to check the talk show with the director on nico.
He might mention who did which scene.
>>118226326
stfu dipshit
keep name dropping mozart, as if that would impress anyone LOL
>>118226213
I'm not going to congratulate them or apologize for them setting the bar low enough for themselves.
They could have animated anything they wanted.
They could have made any story they wanted.
They ripped off one of the most well known stories written in the last century without understanding what made the story good. They honestly could have just changed just the ending for it stay in line with Kafka and actually have some meaning. They didn't.
It was shit, no need to make excuses for them.

Then don't spoonfeed them. Tell them to fuck off.
hi i dont watch a lot of anime but i enjoyed this it was cool thanks
>>118226373

Um no that's your own little delusion at work
This is an animator expo, the stories they are animating are not important the animation is.

Exactly what I'm saying
>bawwww why do you have more knowledge than me
>bawwww why don't you shut up
Good riddance
>>118226525
No. Don't be a sheep.
What the hell was this bullshit? I mean, I liked the story and concept, but it was animated like a turd. This is supposed to be a fucking animation expo, how could something that looks like a first draft with jerky 5fps sketches be considered an exhibition of anything? Are well-respected animators just allowed to turn in an incomplete, cheaply done work and expect people to accept it? Mememe, despite some shortcuts such as the CGI fps scene, had smooth, well done, stunning animation which made up for it's admittedly half-baked plot. This just had a middling concept that was executed in pencilscratch on used napkins. 0/10, Khara shouldn't have even allowed this to be shown until it had the same level of animation expected of even the cheapest seasonal anime.
>>118226554

>The Metamorphosis is not one of the most well known stories written in the last century
Are you going to next tell me no one knows who the fuck Kafka is? And that The Metamorphosis isn't the one story everyone knows when his name is mentioned?
Again, stop apologizing for them. It is not difficult to make a story that is interesting, ESPECIALLY when you are already ripping off a well appreciated story.
The fact that they rip it off and take out what it made it good is deplorable. They could have kept everything in it up to the end, all the animation and then kept the ending Kafkaesque.
>>118226536
I am saying you come of as a deuce, and if you really want to educate somebody that's the last thing you want people thinking about you.

Which is just you making shit up because there is a cockroach in the short.
Also Trial was better
>>118226610
the fuck are you even talking about, I hated mememe the moment I laid eyes on it and that hasn't changed a bit, if I wanted to fit in I'd pretend to like it like all the retarded teenagers who're jumping all over it.
>>118226588
Agreed, this episode really disappointed me, not as much as mememe obviously but really, ripping of kafka? That's a dick move, lost a lot of respect for the people that made this.
>>118226565

Mahiro Maeda likes gimmicks. Maybe he thought "oh why don't we make her a cockroach like in that one book" and did it, just like that. It's not even a tertiary point of the short. Nobody gives a shit, except you.
