How can anyone dislike KyoAni?
>>138736359
sameface.
>>138736384
>same character designer
Funny, normally when I see people talking about studios that put clear sublte nuances into their character's appearances, KyoAni is normally the one used as an example.
>>138736359
I acknowledge that they're the best.
And that's super cute.
Phantom fucking world. I still watch it but they really slipped up. Could that show be any more bland?
>>138736359
It's easy, they didn't produce a single good show in years.
>>138736439
To you maybe.
>>138736384
they dont have the same faces though. kyoani has 4 or 5 different lead artists that each have different styles.
>>138736439
what's tamako love story?
They had to add fanservice even on that short animation
>>138736359
I don't hate them. I like them a whole lot. But they really need to stop with this "animating-their-own-mediocre-source" stuff. It holds them back a whole lot.
>>138736460
A generic rom-com. Not to say I didn't like it, it just wasn't very good.
>>138736466
What are you talking about?
They just make me sad nowadays, knowing that they once made good shows and are now just purely in it for that sweet moet fanservice profit.
At least they ended their good period with that Haruhi movie, wish was a good way to conclude things, seeing as Kyon himself told the viewer to be patient for a long while at the end.
>>138736475
Yeah, better animate generic LN/VNs like everyone else.
>>138736359
Aren't they the only studio that has animation classes to teach new people on the industry, to produce their own workforce? Also being one of the only studios who treat their animators as humans?
Besides some lack of diversity on the art style, and the need to go a little more experimental, I must say that their shows look BEAUTIFUL.
But most of them are awful tho, never whatched more than 5 episodes of anything from them.
They just need better things to adapt.
>>138736555
There's plenty of expertimental shit in Nichijou and Hyouka.
>>138736555
Experimental how?
>>138736500
That sexualized as fuck hamster. Are you blind?
>>138736676
I think you might be zoophilic if you feel that the hamster is sexualized in any way
>>138736738
It looks like she's slapping a tit until it pops its head up.
Good animation and good environment to work with has nothing to do with Kyoani's SAMEFACE problem. Sameface is sameface.
>>138736764
Please.
>>138736810
Pretty much every show has a sameface problem. In KyoAni's case it is more noticeable since they use their in-house character designers and put extra effort in making background characters. Background characters of other studios are usually either faceless or non existant in SHAFT's case.
>>138736764
>>138736764
They've been putting yuri in every frame they can, this is no different.
KyoAni's subtle facial expressions are the best
>>138736859
>Kikuchi Tae
>TAE KIKUchi
>>138736859
Lucky Star had formless gray blobs for classmates and their best character designer worked on the show.
>>138736359
They lost their way.
>>138736933
I think my favorite in Hibike is when Shoe rejected Hazuki, you don't see her face just her eyelash but there's a pause for a second and then she blinks as if she's holding back her tears.
>>138736971
That part was below the belt. Even worse than the jokes with Endo's ex-wife and Yamasaki getting slapped.
>>138737014
This isn't the case with every other KyoAni show.
>>138737014
Kadowaki is their best designer
Is KyoAni the new Ghibli?
>>138736359
Because they designed this super cutie and only used her for a commercial for the KyoAni shop. Also, they're commercials feel like they have far more character than almost any of their shows, so that also tells something about them. Still like them though.
I generally like KyoAni. The character design is amazing but I use "character design" because it's the same with minor quirks everytime. Even the background characters are detailed and not blank faces, the issues is the sameface.
Also I wish they stopped adapting shitty LN material.
Decent studio, worst fanbase in the entire animation world.
>>138737091
Currently. Horiguchi is probably the single most important person in the history of moe so no one will ever come close to comparing.
>>138736555
muh experimental
>>138736384
amagi is there only post hyouka show that was good imo
>>138737118
Cute=/= more character
>>138737350
You're absolutely right. My point still stands. That and the other commercials look far more interesting than Chuu2 or Musaigen for example.
They need to stop adapting garbage.
>>138736555
>the only studio that has animation classes
There's animation schools for that. If you go to work on a certain animation studio unprepared without animation knowledge whatsoever then you're just retarded.
>the only studios who treat their animators as humans
As if you care about the well-being of the animators while you never provided a cent for anime dvds. Name me one animator from that studio without looking it up on Google. You can't, can you. Thought so.
Kyoani is getting a lot of shit for no real reason. Yeah, not everything they do are masterpieces but you can't expect everything to live up to Disappearance.
Hyouka was amazing. Tamako Market was decent but was followed up with Tamako Love Story which is the best thing they've done since Disappearance. Amagi was a lot of fun. Hibike is one of the best things they've ever done.
Phantom World is getting a lot of undeserved shit. I don't know what people expected but personally I'm enjoying it a lot.
>>138737114
Those clouds are ugly af
>>138737501
At least clouds change their shape at every moment and might end up becoming pretty, you're just gonna be ugly af forever.
>>138737014
That show was when Kyoani still had face variation. FMP, Lucky Star, first season of Haruhi had difference styles.
>>138737228
>>138737453
>Kyoani is getting a lot of shit for no real reason.
Because you fans are obnoxious in the first place.
>>138736384
>kyoani is going to sameface koe no kitachi
:v(
I think the biggest problem is how they treat their animators. The greatest artists knew what it felt like to suffer. We don't want a polished corporate product made by salarymen. Anime needs to be drawn by people with poor nutrition and sleep deprivation in the solitude of their 1DK. Their passion needs to be tested. When they abandon part of themselves for the sake of anime, you can feel it. I can't feel it in any Kyoani show.
>>138737611
KnK manga designs are pretty samefacey themselves.
>>138737616
Yes because poorly paid animators do wonders.
>>138737616
>>138737567
>you're just gonna be ugly af forever.
What kind of pathetic insult is that? Calling anonymouses ugly? What do you think he's a girl?
>>138737422
I think that school is more of a training facility for animators so they can get started in the KyoAni ways.
Kyokai no Kanata for example was partially made by "students" from their school. It's not the typical animation school where they teach you the basics, they probably just teach them their techniques and workflows
>>138737595
Great scene.
>>138737616
Right? That's what I've always thought as well. I mean, we should just stop paying them, and stop feeding them for that matter, so that they can work their hardest. Should just do that with every other employed worker like teachers, factory workers and garbage men. I mean, I just can't feel it when I see them picking up the trash or when they're working on the production, they just don't seem to have the passion for it anymore, without abandoning part of themselves. Maybe also work longer shifts and have them pay to work for me could also boost their inspiration.
Everything is photo filtered backgrounds, bloom and HDR effects. They use bubble sparkle filters more than SHAFT uses text on a still shot.
>>138737810
>Everything is photo filtered backgrounds, bloom and HDR effects.
[Citation needed]
Phantom World has the best visual direction of the season, which is sad because it's arguably one of KyoAni's most mediocre shows in that department. Other studios need to step up.
>>138737726
>Kyokai no Kanata for example was partially made by "students" from their school.
I'm gonna need a source for that claim. As far as I'm aware, their students will need to graduate first before being allowed to work on any studio project.
>>138737867
Nah, Amagi is their weakest visually.
>>138737889
Watch the credits, or just compare their staff here with something like Nichijou for example that had lots of KyoAni heavyweights working on it.

Uh, I'm not the fag arguing with you earlier on. Should've clarified that. I just thought something was worth pointing out. I think it's silly to deride a studio for using digital tools available at their disposal, and KyoAni tends to get things right visually than most of the studios. Hell, I'd take all their fancy camera effects over garishly-coloured shit like One-Punch Man.
>>138738489

Also, people like to harp on Kyoani for adapting shit LNs, when the only notably bad ones they adapted were Chuu2, KnK and Phantom World (which were still pretty good, honestly. Thanks to their talented directors). That's 3 shows compared to 14 or so they've made.
Tamako and Free are originals, Hibike is a novel. And they are adapting Koe no Katachi soon.

KyoAni conjurs its anim directly from the 2D salm. All of the studio is just a front for.their moe magics, as are news stories about them. It hasn't yet been discovered by the world, but I am privy to it because my dad works at KyoAni. Prove me wrong faggot.

Their training facility is useless. The 'Kyoani ways' would only work inside Kyoani.
Look at Yamakan, for example. He trained there. And the moment he walks out of there he's a laughing stock. The same would apply to any other kyoani staffs.
>>138738656
The LN adaptations are a drop in the bucket compared to their bigger, unrivaled catalogued of industry influencing shows.
Besides, they split from Kadakowa's like, 4 years ago? And they are already back to adapting novels and manga since they were profiting off these LNs.
>>138738769
Yamakan got fired from KyoAni because he was shit. He's not a very good director regardless of his past with KyoAni.

That's not because he trained at KyoAni. That's because he's Yamakan.

He's a laughing stock because of his attitude and tendency to sekuhara his coworkers.
>>138738793

And you know where he got his training. My point still stands.
>>138738829
Your point doesn't stand because KyoAni has plenty of other directors that are good.

I hate the eyes.
I don't follow studios explicitly and I can appreciate their styling most of the time but no matter the show, no matter the character designer, they just stand out and they're hideous. Probably something to do with their spacing as well.
They can do some fantastic stuff visually/techinically but that being the backdrop to the same shit every time is tiring. I feel like KyoAni gets the out for this so frequently because it's varying degrees of "wasted potential."

The Kyoto studio is doing their own thing at the moment so they're free of the head office's nonsense for now.
>>138739005
Shorts are what are truly saving the seasons now though. They've accepted that anime is now empty in story and creativity and have given up on large formats since they can no longer stand without plot, and chose to simply offer bite sized portions of moe or shallow comedy instead. Take Ooya-san, Marshmallow and Teekyuu for example. They all fare far better as four minute shows that any 24 minute anime right now.
>>138736359
They've never made a single good anime.

KyoAni was an underdog back then, they went from working as a small Sunrise outsource studio to making like 6 hits in a row. They're not underdogs anymore but back then no one expected them to even become relevant.
And no, the haters are all shitting on KyoAni because it is hip. Their style and the type of shows they do hasn't changed one bit, they now adapt their own stuff instead of relying on Kadokawa and their animation quality has improved so much that even Disappearance looks like a run of the mill KyoAni show (in terms of visuals) compared to the works they do now. Hyoka and Hibike have as great direction as Clannad and Haruhi. AmaBuri has pretty much the same type of comedy as Fumoffu. There's absolutely no dip in quality in KyoAni shows.

You said all they do is use photo filters on photos, >>138739356 this isn't that, they're using it as reference, a thing all studios do, they go out there, take photos and use them as references for their backgrounds.

I feel the opposite. Disappearance did a finer job in my opinion; but even then the differences between the two movies are similar to that of a just-sharpened pencil and a sharpened pencil that's been used once to write a period, which is not much.

>>138736410
They characters look basically same in every show these days, though. There's very little variation in art style from show to show.
>>138739997
It is. Referencing =/= photo filtering, how can you not understand this?
>>138736859
One of the best things about Shaft is that they use character designs very close to the original works. No mater if it's Kumeta, Aoki Ume or Buriki, the designs look what they are supposed to.
>>138739368
>Their style and the type of shows they do hasn't changed one bit
They used to do about one series (sometimes a movie, as well) and they were adaptations of for wildly different sources. After Hyoka, they did 3-4 one cour shows (plus a movie for each of them) every year that were either adaptations of inbred manga & LN competition entries or original works. You can say anything about the quality, but saying they haven't changed is a big fat lie.
I'd say the biggest problem with Kyoani most people (who aren't mindless bandwagon haters) have is the fact that they went from doing carefully crafted top-notch works (often based on already popular source material) to seasonal bulk adaptations of their own forgettable IPs just in order to make money. I don't blame people who watch their series for the animation since there aren't other studios that are able to provide that, but their modern series aren't the stuff that is still remembered after ten or even five years.

>They used to do about one series (sometimes a movie, as well) and they were adaptations of for wildly different sources.
Haruhi - 2 Seasons and a movie - SoL, comedy, supernatural
K-On - 2 Seasons and a movie - SoL, comedy
Clannad - 2 Seasons - SoL, drama
FMP - 2 Seasons - SoL, comedy, action
>about one series
>wildly different sources
Compare them to:
Chuu2 - 2 Seasons and a movie - SoL, comedy, drama
KnK 1 season and 3 movies - action, drama
Free - 2 Seasons and a movie - sports, drama SoL
Hibike - 2 Seasons and a movie - SoL, drama
They have been adapting series with roughly the same genres as back in the day.
>the fact that they went from doing carefully crafted top-notch works (often based on already popular source material) to seasonal bulk adaptations of their own forgettable IPs just in order to make money.
It would've been much easier to stay as Kadokawa's pet and do popular adaptations
They are good at making scenes and landscapes, but they choices at what to animate suck ass. Maybe they pander too hard to fat shameless otaku with a boner for pure-like-idol girls who never kissed a single men in their lifes.
>>138740254
I'm a new IP. That excuse won't work.
Final veredict: Photo filtering is not the same as referencing landmarks. Kyoani references landmarks, and you can notice so by the differences between the pictures and the shots in the anime. They don't photo filter.

Okay.

Wrong.

Name it.
This thread is terrible.
>>138740359
There's a diference between photo filtering AND filtering your hand-drawn landscapes. Kyoani does the latter.
>>138740390
don't you mean terribly amazing
>>138736359
Any anime is both the technical part and the story part, kyoani does well the technical part, but the story part sucks in most cases.
Is a nice cake that tastes awful.
Using matte painting techniques isn't seen as cheap or hacky in the anime industry. Studios do it when on a tight budget or when they're short on time. Not everyone has the money to spend on hand painted backgrounds. This photo filter guy is acting like it's the worst thing a studio can do.
If he wants to complain and find faults in KyoAni works he should find a better argument because chances are his favorite studio does the same.

I forgot the source, but the one who write it was from USA. She came to study at kyoAni school, and met Yamada. Then Yamada talked something about work hours which is about 9.00AM-17.00PM and women can't work more than 18.00PM, if they (women) went home at >17.00 PM, one of the men should bring them back home so they'll be safe. Also she said that kyoAni pays them monthly.

Why don't you tell me?
>>138740310
Well, whatever helps you sleep at night.
To start, you can't evaluate using numbers over a subjective matter. And in the other hand, Kyoani could be mediocre in some ways but, saying her "animation" is mediocre is just a plain moronic statement, when is known that's one of their strengths.
Also, the sameface is also a subjective matter. Personally I like their designs, and it doesn't really matter if they look similar to other shows they've made in the past.
>>138739948
Wow, it's almost as if you are making it sound like if someone changed the genre of a show, it would totally alienate the original fanbase

>>138740689
It isn't. And there's less risk in relying on a publisher. As it is now KyoAni has to advertise and self-fund their shows, so if something flops, like Phantom, it will hit them much harder.
>>138740276
What the fuck? Most of those aren't SOL.
>>138740746
Maybe if you don't know what a slice of life actually stands for.
>>138740537

Literally the cuckold's studio.

But you pretty much make such a great effort in doing the contrary.
Look at these four autism-tier replies.
>>138740746
No you don't understand, Kyon being pulled out of his mundane daily life and Sousuke throwing grenades is totally SOL.
>>138740276
>FMP
>SoL
I bet you also think that harems are SoL
>>138740863
You should look in the mirror while saying that.
>>138740817
You don't seem to understand. I put in effort even on hating people. The difference between you and me here is that i cannot be hurt.
I'm not going to reply to any particular poster, but it seems that people don't understand that SOL is a large umbrella term that can easily be shared with romance, drama, and even sci-fi and etc.
>>138740730
>>138740784
Slice of Life shows the mundane aspects of life, polishes them up and make it relaxing. That's why Aria is a SoL, despite being on a completely different planet, involving a job that nobody here has experience with.
Chuu2 doesn't do this, its a romcom.
FMP is fucking mecha, with characters and people dying in it. No idea why you thought it was SoL. Fumoffu is just a comedy.
Haruhi is supernatural. There's nothing SoL about it except for the school setting.
Hibike is a character drama and focuses completely on the school band, not a SoL
The only SoLs Kyoani have made is K-On!, Tamako, and maybe Nichijou since it does have big SoL elements despite being a gag comedy.
people think Kyoani and the say "good animation" but it's much more than that.
Yesterday watching Little Busters Refrain I couldn't stop thinking in how Kyoani would have done some tear-jerking moments.
The direction, the script, the little details, everything adds up for a better overall experience. Kyoani just knows how to do it properly, and their aim is always improving and trying new things.
>>138740946
this anon gets it
>>138740909
It isn't
SoL are Slice of LIFE. No romance, no action, and an optional drama. It's about living a mundane life.
Nothing else
A single SoL episode does not make it a SoL show.
>>138740946
This anon gets it until Nichijou.
>>138740946
Chuu2, Haruhi and Hibike have plenty of SoL elements, but even if you don't want to recognize them as SoL, KyoAni has made mostly dramas and comedies, your argument that old-KyoAni worked with much more diverse works if flat out wrong. Their essence is the same as when they make Fumoffu.
>>138736460
The plot sucked and was forced.
I like the way they draw feet
>>138741015
Yeah, Nichijou is too absurd to be a SOL.
>>138740946
>Chuu2 doesn't do this, its a romcom.
So if a SOL involves romance it no longer counts as a slice of life? Or perhaps you're saying the comedy part disqualifies it?
>Hibike is a character drama and focuses completely on the school band, not a SoL
"Character drama" is not a genre. There is plenty of SOL elements in the show, as anyone who played in an actual school band would like tell you.
Otherwise, I agree with you.
>>138740934
> i cannot be hurt
Like I care if you can't be hurt or not. Your hateful lifestyle is enough punishment.
>>138740617
From the tweets her job seems to be mostly being a promo girl. Not much animating.
>>138741161
But anon, aren't you feeling hatred right now too?
>>138741178
She was an intern at the studio, that event on twitter was from when she went back to help out and visit the studio. Her time at KyoAni is written on her blog but looks like it's private now.
>>138740747
> yes, you actually can
Of course you can, but it doesn't mean anything to the people who likes the matter in question. An art expert could give a 10 to certain painting, and still be considered as shit by the rest of the people who don't understand the technicalities and eventually buy the thing or pay to see the exhibition.
If people like shit. It doesn't matter if it's unhealthy, you have to deal with it.
So your out-of-your-ass up to 10 scale it's bullshit.
> Nope, you could argue that until a certain point it is, but in this case it isn't.
Please kid. That's not even an argument
>>138741162
Sorry for your non-existent quote. And thank
How did this argument even start, anyhow?
>>138741201
Not in the slightest. Let me tell you that not everyone shares your bad habits.
>>138741100
If the romance involves everyday mundane elements of said romance (like OreMono) then it can be SoL. Chuu2 barely has any of this, just like Tamako Love Story.
Character Dramas can be argued to be SoL, but personally I think they are too melodramatic and generally don't focus on everyday life in general. Hibike is all about character motivations tied to getting better at band and winning that gold. They don't have episodes entirely spent on shopping, working a job that isn't tied to music, and random Christmas episodes like K-On!
>>138741301
>If the romance involves everyday mundane elements of said romance (like OreMono) then it can be SoL.
See friend, you've got it backwards. The SOL in Chuuni is sprinkled with elements of romance. Not the other way around.
Studiofagging. How cute.
>>138741286
> Where's the argument?
That's my question. Normally when you claim something you need to provide arguments to support that.
How can anyone dislike Fuyumin?
