In 3 days, the greatest battle of our time happens.

At same day, KyoAni and KyoAni-wannaby PA Works air their new shows.

First KyoAni attempt at generic harem vs PA Works attempt to copy KyoAni and air Hyouka Euphonium

Which will win?
>>
Why has Kyoani stooped so low? This show looks like the most generic shit they've ever bothered with.
>>
>>135614453
Because no one good sends them their novels, and their bussiness model atm is about adapting their own novels.

Then again, they turned shit like K-On into hit, so might expect them to improve it and make it decent.

And hopefully Violet Evergarden will redeem everything else.
>>
>>135614420
Has Kyoani ever lost a seasonal battle?
Look at Spring. Kekkai vs Euphonium. Where is Kekkai now?
>>
>>135614420
Kyoani will win in terms of popularity, but PA works will win in terms of quality animation as they are far less aggressive with their use of eye cancer inducing filters, lens flares and blur.
>>
>>135614490
Hopefully it will not be Kyoukai 2.0
>>
>>135614498
>Where is Kekkai now?
Resting on its laurels, 20k sales, and massive manga boost?
>>
>>135614498
E8 vs Bakemonogatari
>>
>>135614519
Meanwhile, Hibike got 2nd season confirmed
>>
>>135614591
Kekkai Sensen was by Bones, that doesn't count.
>>
>>135614519
Fujoshit bought your thing, and it ranks low on every Japan poll out there
>>
>>135614591
So by making a second season, they won? That seems like a pretty arbitrary way to decide it.
>>
Stop trying to incite studio wars. This isn't /v/.
>>
>>135614644

They both look pretty mediocre, are we supposed to care about this just because one of the studios made really popular shows in the 2000s?
>>
>>135614498
>Look at Spring. Kekkai vs Euphonium. Where is Kekkai now?

8,247 Hibike! Euphonium (and 3 first volumes with event tickets)
16,404 Kekkai Sensen

What has that got to do with anything?

Filters =/= animation. And there's nothing wrong with filters you moron.

KyoAni can only lose against PA Works if PA is doing Uchouten Kazoku.

KyoAni still beats PA Works in visuals, though.

Why do people compare KyoAni with PA Works again? PA Work's visuals are bland, their animation is weightless, their shows are a miss more often than not, and they don't even have any directors that are above "decent".
>>
>>135615009
>yaoi

So it's a fujo show then? Why is it compares to the Kyoani harem then, it's different fanbase

People compare them because they want an excuse to start shitposting threads and because PA does SoL and dramas.

Only if you like filters and lensflares more than actual proper colouring to create atmosphere.

I'd agree with you a year or a year-and-a-half ago, but their last two shows have been pretty dull visually, and this doesn't look much better.

If I had to say, Hibike and Kekkai both kinda won. Notice how hyped people were during the first few episodes of Kekkai, but around the chess game a lot of people has lost interest/moved on to the manga, and discussion died down after the finale was delayed. All in all, Kekkai pulled in impressive sales numbers and made the manga a thing (partly owing to Bump of Chicken, which is a huge thing in itself).

On the other hand Hibike was easily dismissed during its early episodes, but after people realized that it's not another K-ON! clone and actually has a plot, its popularity went on an uphill climb. The critical mass is reached during the all-too-memorable festival episode, which was also the moment /a/ got filled with Hibike threads. In the end, Hibike got decent-but-not-groundbreaking sales, but got a second season.

Not even to try and stir up arguments, but I feel like there's some impossible divide between me and people who think NagiAsu has a worse aesthetic than something like Hibike or Free. It's just some completely different kind of value judgment.

KyoAni needs to use a different art style.
Sure they've perfected the art of moe, but if you overuse it, it will lose its effect.

Also they're literally doing a magical academy battle harem. There is no way it won't be shit.

>>135614420
KyoAni is consistently average while PA Works is half-amazing/half-shit. I'll go with PA Works.

Well, at least her design is not typical PA "Samefaceworks" look, unlike the MC which is rehashed from NagiAsu, which in turn was rehashed from previous PA Works show.

Its amazing how despite having different character designers, PA Works characters actually DO look the same unlike say KyoAni (though it rehashes Shinka)

The actual reason KyoAni uses this method is adding DEPTH to their pictures - thats why extensive experiments with blue, lightning, shadows etc.

PA Works on other hand and most other studios are plain "flat". Though PA Works is advanced in use of digital art effects as well when they try - reflections, smoke etc.

And you cant really compare NnA and Hibike/KnK since they are nowhere even near quality wise. Hibike and KnK have MUCH higher objective quality no matter how you look - from consistency of animation, scene composition, coloring/lightning. While on the other hand NnA can look amazing SOMETIMES, and is plain bad quality animation the rest of times.

We don't need to be handheld on what we should focus on. Make a good looking scene with detailed foregrounds and backgrounds and let us enjoy the whole picture, damn it. I know they are using these techniques to save money on the less important stuff and make what they focus on more detailed, but it makes the overall image so much less appealing.

Except when they make shit like Amaburi, Chuuni and Tamakoshit. Then they don't.

Please list those KyoAni generic harems you speak of. Adopting Keyshit, is prerogative of PA Works nowadays thankfully.

And Amaburi, Chuuni and Tamako while not being mega hits, still are better made than absolute majority of other shows aired.

Nice that you did not mention KnK, as its even better illustration - with all its flaws, its better animated than whatver other studios can shit out, including F/SN and Kekkai.

Doing Mystery worked for KyoAni, producing their best quality show up to date and a masterpiece.

Seems Kadokawa wants to promote other novel now, like Hyouka, but since KyoAni does not accept outside offers atm - they turned to PA Works, just like Key did.

So PA Works is now coincedently basically making Hyouka Euphonium. Though while first part, the school mundane mystery with boy and girl was intended Kadokawa`s attempt to repeat Hyouka - 2nd is pure coincidence, since at the point of production Hibike did not air yet.

Amagi is harem whether you like it or not.
So is Haruhi.
Same goes for Bakagatari.

One self insert surrounded by women is harem now. Thank hipsters for forcing monogamy on the medium.

Dude, the cast is literally an assembled crew of the most generic harem archetypes imaginable. It has everything from the self-insert MC to the Mary Sue tsundere bitch to the big-breasted shy girl to the Rei clone to the fujoshi-pandering yaoi guy.

But there is literally only one romantic interest in Amagi. It can't be a harem since none of the other girls actually want the MCs D.

Retard.

That's because Haruhi was originally a meta-commentary on the LNs that were popular at the time.
>>
>>135616750
You could argue the same way for Love Hina.
In the end a harem is a harem.
One self insert male.
Surrounded by women.
Harems are not build on love.
It's an arabic invention after all.
>>
>>135616716
Yes, because the assembly of the SOS Brigade was a fucking parody of all that shit.
You're calling NGE and Madoka generic too.
>>
>>135616616
Bullshit. Love Hina is start of Harem trend in anime. There was many before them, including for dozens of years - but it was the turning point that established most of modern tropes. Tenchu and DNAngel are the other most iconic harem, but sci-fi there is nah irrelevant, as opposed to say Haruhi which is sci-fi foremost and harem only since number of girls is more than oen.
>>
>>135616676
Urusei Yatsura was not harem, but pure gag show. Romance in it played even smaller role than in Ranma, which by teh way would be one of first actual harems.
>>

It's science fantasy. With hardly any science.

But all the girls wanted the MC's D in Love Hina. That's a shit-tier example.

-Kekkai sold twice as much as Euphonium
-Manga boosted to top 30 in 2015, making it a success for Shuiesha.
-Toho Animation said in their yearly report Kekkai was their biggest cashcow (including disc and merch sales)

And finally as a result, Bones and Toho are adapting Hero Academia, Shuiesha's latest hit manga and a potential international hit.

>That's not what a harem is, you dolt.
That's exactly what harem is.
In most harem you get an MC with one true love interest and then the rest of the women just stick around for other reasons. Depending on how much ecchi they want to insert ultimately most of them might want to fuck, but still it's very rare for more than 2 to love him. And ultimately most of them are just there to created MISUNDERSTANDINGS between MC and feMC.

You should really watch more harem if you want to have an opinion about it.
>>
>>135616895
Why are you lying on internet?

>Kekkai sold twice as much as Euphonium
kekkai sold 16k on volume 1 because of event ticket, it only sold 7k on volume 2

Euphonium actually made money for people who made unlike Bones, who only got money for making animation. All revenues from disc and merchandise went to Toho, all revenues from tankobons went to Shuiesha

Hahahahhahah oh wow yeah, like Captain Harlock hah

Planetes is no more sci-fi than Haruhi - its more social commentary in future setting, while Haruhi`s main point is actually SF plot involving time paradoxes, sentient artificial intellegences, demiurge powers manifestations and paradoxes and rivaling power groups fighting to maintain/exploit for own goals.

Do you have literally no knowledge of Science Fiction? It's definitely not a new term, the term soft sci fi exists because people wanted a way to differentiate the increasingly popular sciencey novels (bringing about the term hard sci fi, which is honestly a pretty shit genre name)

Also hard sci fi doesn't require much brains to understand anyway, most of the time the ideas are expressed pretty simply even if they are complex in nature.

I agree that they should be considered very different genres, but saying soft SF is not SF is dismissing what 90% of people think of when they hear the term.
