Which Studio is better?

Trigger are hot the new studio on the block who have made Inferno Cop and the now legendary Kill la Kill. Their list of anime might be small, but they carry the essence of GAINAX over the last 15 years with guys like Hiroyuki Imaishi and Masahiko Ohtsuka, who all worked on anime like Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann, FLCL, Panty & Stocking etc.

As for SHAFT, they've been around for a while, but they've shot to prominence over the last 10 years. They're primarily known for the universally popular Monogatari Series and Puella Magi Madoka Magica, but were also successful with older hits like Natsu no Arashi, Sayonara Zetsubo Sensei and Hidamari Sketch.
>>
>>122945186
SHAFT made Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei.

Therefore SHAFT > Trigger

This isn't necessarily "which studio has the better shows".

That's an important factor, but it's also the staff they're comprised of. Trigger was formed by the guys who did those Gainax Anime, and therefore, those should factor in to a certain extent.

No.

Trigger only carry a portion of the essence of Gainax. Studio Khara being the others carrying other portion. And current Gainax has the lefovers.

OP, I understand what you say, but you are still essentially comparing both Shaft and Trigger as studios.


Trigger has their own distinct style from Gainax now.

Kill la Kill it's not an anime Studio Gainax would have done. The nearest thing would be TTGL, and still, Imaishi was being monitored and whiped by his superiors to not go too crazy. Also, the budget.

Hideaki Anno was also part in Re:Cutey Honey and KareKano where Imaishi was doing his forte: animation. But those areall Gainax, not Trigger.

They are both shitty Studios that need to die for anime's future .

As in "Pre-Shimbo Shaft" "Shimbo Shaft" and "Post-Shimbo Shaft"? Sure, but they were still Shaft.

Trigger is still relatively a brand new studio that need to make more brands on their own.

I almost said SHAFT, but the only thing they have going for them is Aoki Ume and whatever she's involved with. They handle adaptations of certain works okay for the most part, but I'd have trouble giving anything I loved willingly to them. Almost every one of their works feel the same thanks to them using the same tired ass angles for the past forever.

Trigger has Inferno Cop and Little Witch Academia, and while Kill la Kill was a huge disappointment for me, I was certainly more entertained by it than most of what SHAFT puts out. Plus, they actually animate something other than a neck tilt every now and then.

Hidamari Sketch is the greatest SOL of all time

Kill la Kill is too intelligent for /a/. They notice wordplay and think they have it all figured out, then completely embarrass themsleves by saying the direction ever changed or the plot was ever subverted.

Most anon see fast paced action and titilating fanservice and are too shallow to notice the depth that lurks underneath.

Kill la Kill is a masterpiece. Shaft has never made a respectable piece of art. Madoka was a nice attempt, but its characters were too weak to carry it, and the art was pretentious. The symbolism was shallow and was never referenced in the structure of the narrative.

You simply don't understand it because you're a shallow individual. You didn't even recognize the metaphor of the stage, and you probably don't even know the driving force of the red string of fate, which is tied into 'life-fiber' and the 'heart' of the Kamui which functions on a blood bond and thrives when fear is left behind and the stage is taken with confidence and resolve.

I can't stand this long fucking joke /a/ has where they pretend SHAFT is smart.

Trigger has animators at the apex of technique ever pioneered in the medium, and the writer for Kill la Kill is a seasoned playwright and brilliant poet.

SHAFT and Trigger are not comparable. SHAFT makes products to be sold, Trigger creates high art they love with the freedom they gained from leaving Gainax.

It's a character driven drama like most anime. The focus is on the character's themselves, their growth, and their interactions.
>>
>>122953579
You don't see Disney or Pixar fawning over the opportunity to meet SHAFT animators. This is because they're not notable.

The staff on Trigger are the best in animation history. Imaishi, Sushio, Yoshinari, Amemiya, Hori and Ootsuka.

The only other studio within SPITTING distance of Trigger is Khara. Not Ghibli. Khara.

>>122953494
Shaft is not smart. Granted Trigger has quality animators but they just do not have the budget to go create another popular pop-culture shit in anime industry because of their tight budget and funding, until they went cheapskate and keep reusing the same animated frames over and over again in a series they produced.

Also, Shaft's recent anime are mostly made to promote books and boost the sales (except Madoka of course). The sequels were just to ride the popularity until original source materials ended.

There you go again. There were gorgeous scenes in Saki animated by a single guy, and the studio was almost dying back then. Money doesn't excuse bad animation.

>character growth
>Bakemonogatari
Honestly though, I didn't see much growth in the characters. The waifus all overcome their "dillemas", but Araragi is still pretty much a self-insert a Marty Stu, and I don't think he's ever gone though any development arc at all.

Plus perhaps the only remotely interesting character LEAVES. Fuck Bakemonogatari.

The drama is also very dragging. 3 episodes to complete one character? What the hell.
>>
>>122953742
having best animators and best screenwriter doesn't guarantee quality animated series or film overall. Look at Dennou Coil, the animation was superb but that cliche ending made it a total garbage.

Not a single cut in Saki is on a level with what you see in Kill la Kill. Trigger is a master of their art.

Also the best cut in Evangelion was done by Imaishi.

>>122953937
Finally a good response rather than the typical dicksucking. I agree, but I feel like your point doesn't apply to Kill la Kill, as it's script was one of the more brilliant and inventive works in anime history.

Dennou Coil did disappoint me, but I can't say I was expecting anything from the story. It was just a really nice premise that allowed the world to come to life in an interesting way. One of my favorite anime, but not because of its writing.

>>
>>122953734
People give Bakemonogatari too much credit. In fact, it's pretty much SHAFTs cash cow at this point.

SHAFT were far better as in-betweeners for various other productions and when they made their own, non-adopted content (Soredemo notwithstanding). They seem to suffer from QUALITY most of the time though with the ridiculous BluRay reedits, and its not even small things but glaringly big mistakes, and the occasional weird choice of edits.

Trigger on the other hand is still brand spanking new. They made Little Witch Academia, KlK, and some in-between animation here and there plus some adaptations I don't even care about. Too me they are waaaay too fresh to be compared to SHAFT, not to mention I think their time is quite smaller than SHAFTs. If they want to become GAINAX 2.0 YOU CAN (NOT) ANIMATE then they need to get that guy Akia who left Gainax during the Gurren Lagaan 4th episode scandal.

So yeah, Mangoes and Oranges, with a very unripe orange at that.

Two reasons

Proof that the anime is a failure as a medium. Or that SHAFT is really bad at adapting Noissin's work.

Araragi barely grows to amount to anything but a self-insert stud. He has never experienced loss or hardship. He gets away scott-free by virtue of plot armor or deus ex powers i.e. vampirism. But most of all, he's just unrelatable.

Going purely by track record I am going to go with SHAFT mainly because they have more to show.

The staff at Trigger obviously has tons of experience but if we're going purely by shows I will give it to SHAFT.

I think Kill la Kill was pretty good. It wasn't anything ambitious or have anything really worthy of any actual in depth discussion. However I think it had a lovable albeit 2 dimensional cast of characters that were very energetic and chewed up the scene a lot which managed to make every episode enjoyable just to see what ridiculousness the characters would do next even if the actual episode is "filler".

Serious moments weren't anything to write home about. Most were pretty forgettable since the characters aren't really deep in any sort of way. Lots of dropped plot points too make the actual story structure come off as really messy. The humor is also very hit and miss for me with some things being too obnoxious and other bits being just obnoxious enough but I think the cartoony animation made it easier to swallow regardless.

Overall, for the studios first original work I think it was pretty good. Could be vastly improved but overall it left me satisfied.
Speaking of SHAFT. What original works do they have again? I would comment on them but I just realized most of the SHAFT I have seen has been adaptions.

You want me to explain the subtle techniques that make Takeshi Honda a great animator using his Kill la Kill cut... You actually asked me this question? What a fucking retard.
http://sakuga.yshi.org/post/show/6930/animated-fabric-hair-henshin-kill_la_kill-takeshi_

Squash and stretch when the titties jiggle, when the straps lock her tits down, the subtle movements of her ass when the thong is pulled tight, the bending of Senketsu's fabric as it's roped around Ryuuko.

The anticipation when monster Senketsu is ready to bite down on her, when his eyes are building energy to burst forth from her chest, or when Ryuuko is curled up ready to explode into her final pose.

the staging when she takes that pose is magnificent. Every action is pose to pose, and each movement flows into the next, overlapping the next to create a dynamic movement that you can't take your eyes off.

The movement is done is graceful arcs, and is exaggerated beatifully to create imaginative effects only possible in animation, such as the tight camera spin. Ryuuko's body behaves realistically, and every action she takes has a follow through. Like when she aggressively poses, she doesn't simply freeze, but her body reacts and settles after her energy is expended, and finally, every piece of it looks like a solid object in space

GET. FUCKED.

He's talking about the animation, not the "deep" parts of the show, though. There are plenty of great shows when it comes to animation which have a stupid or simple story. Nichijou has plenty of cool cuts, for example.
