Can we agree that Hanasaku Iroha is still best Okada and best P.A.after Shirobako and Uchouten Kazoku?

Absolutely, we all agree on that. The thing we can never agree on, however, is best girl.

Hanasaku Iroha was the best of Okada and PA Works. Slightly better than Shirobako in my view.

Are you me? I dropped the series after the obligatory 3 episodes, then decided it was worth to fill in between fapping and working time, dropped it back at ep 7 or 11, can't remember, picked it up again during that week's episode 21 or so, kept it after it finish airing, lost it when a friend of a friend accidentally purged muh animu external hard drive, decided it wasn't worth the hassle to redownload the shit, downloaded the BDs anyway after a year or two, purge it myself due to lack of space and deeming this series wasn't worth it against Tsuritama and Christian Yaoi Jazzfest (and being a poorfag at that moment), downloaded it again a year after, and enjoyed it more and more with each rerun. Never had I been so conflicted about following/keeping a series until I met HanaIro. Guess I'm just as indecisive as Ohana in wanting Ko-chan's dick.

Anon said "infected" which specifically means the first season. I'm going to disagree, I loved Infected but that was because of the setup that kept everyone biting their nails about what was going to happen. However, the fact that it had no satisfying payoff renders all the anticipation it created null and void.
>>
>>141081088
Kuromukuro is their 15th anniversary special anime. It's not much of a disappointment for now. It still has PA Works' recognizable mundane everyday life flair. Though I do wonder why the MC's charadesign is more of a side character's. Honestly, I thought she was a side character from the start. Maybe it'll turn out great as a whole like Hanasaku Iroha, and sucks when you watch its individual episodes, also like Hanasaku Iroha.

Scriptwriting itself, i.e. written dialogue and character interactions, are Okada's strong suit. It's overall plot that she has difficulty with. That's why her best material is the more slice-of-life style.

After watching a lot of Okada anime, I've started to be painfully aware of how rare it is for anime girls to actually behave like girls, especially in each other's company. Okada's characters are much more true to life in that regard. Compare to something like Lucky Star where all the girls pretty much act like boys.

It's kind of hard not to remember as it's a normie entry-level anime, and I'm not actually using buzzwords as criticism. But honestly too short length that doesn't properly benefit from interesting concepts and characters and probably the most forced 1-episode meaningless romance for the sake of sad parting while playing Kinect make the anime kind of bad, I don't know why anyone would mention it as an example of good P.A. anime.

I loved Angel Beats. It needed better series composition though. After a certain point it started feeling like we were going to get good, deep character episodes for each of the cast members (like the Yui and Hinata episodes), but instead they shoehorned in that whole "evil monsters are appearing and we have to fight them" bullshit and wrecked it. Hopefully the VN is better and satisfies the potential it had.

Should have been 24 episodes and had full character episodes about TK, Shiina, Matsu, and so on. Every good episode of Angel Beats was focused on a single character, that would have been a perfect formula for the bulk of the series, especially considering how huge and varied the cast was.

Being entry level doesn't make an anime bad. Angel Beats is good even though it's not exactly a masterpiece, and it's a good recommendation for people who like "muh feels."
>>
>>141082524
>Hiromi, pls go.
No, I'm a massive noefag and still mad.

Still, I believe that the way she crushed is what makes the show that great.
Noe is all about the story.
Her sacredness is what we feel there.
Her development is what we watch over there.
The moment she gets her tears back is where we learn what the "true tears" are and Hiromi is a slut.
>>
>>141082962

I love Tari Tari, but it's extremely disjointed compared to Iroha. "Concise" would only really make sense if the show focused on doing two or three things really well. Instead, it was nothing but two episode arcs involving all sorts of random things. The mother's death arc was the best of the series, I think, but it's also the heaviest (especially compared to muh horses girl's arc) and yet it's really the first true story arc presented. After it concludes, and again it's great stuff, nothing really has as much impact. It certainly makes the "we're bulldozing your school" thing look outright silly, like who gives a fuck honestly.

Iroha, on the other hand, used its resources to build to a satisfying conclusion, and although it's twice as long of a show (with a movie), it still feels more "concise" because it had one serious story it wanted to tell about families, and it stuck with it.
>>
>>141083091
>entry level doesn't make anime bad
That's exactly why I previously mentioned I'm not using buzzwords as criticism. I'm basing the criticism on totally different aspects.
>>
>>141083117
Tari Tari is kind of lame but it had the chorus version of True Tears opening which is pretty much best part of both the series.
>>
>>141083117
Except this also relegated most of the cast to being kind of extras. I cpuldn't tell you what Nako was important for, and Minko was really there just to blow up in Ohana's face occasionally. I really wanted to like Minko, and I don't dislike her, but she was really just a massive obstacle that diverted your attention away from that story about family without realizing it fully.
>>
>>141083159
I think you could split PA Works anime into two camps, good and bad, and they would be about roughly equal. Angel Beats would go in the Good pile. It's obviously better than Haruchika, Red Data Girl, Glasslip, and Charlotte. I agree it's not top shelf like HanaIro, NagiAsu, True Tears and Shirobako.
>>
>>141082902
If you actually explore the character of TK he would lose every mystery aspect which made him a good character.

Why take another tragic backstory when you can just wonder who is this guy and why he's so great for eternity.
>>
>>141082619
The characterization was good. Ohana was a refreshing character, but the written dialogue was awful.
The character interactions themselves just kind of made par. The individual character development is what separates Hanasaku from mediocrity, in my opinion.
>>
>>141082482
Fuck you pretentious retard.
>>
>>141083254
I disagree. One reason might be the length. The character arcs in HanaIro were mostly 1 episode long, which isn't a big derailment in a 20+ episode story featuring a movie. Other than that, the core cast wasn't as large as in Tari Tari: the focus in HanaIro is clearly on Ohana and her family.

Nako is a grounded, humble girl who contrasts against Minchi's tsuntsun outbursts and Ohana's bubbly enthusiasm.

Nako is solid girl made for breeding and taking care of family.
>>
>>141083300
I mean, the fact that every Angel Beats character is implied to have died young, as well as being in the afterlife because of their grudge against how unfair the world is means that they're all going to be tragic backstories. That's strongly implied in all of them.

Maybe you're right that it would get tiring after a while though.

>>141083254

Family was a broad topic that the show addressed. Her "family" was her work/coworkers. She was learning how to be self-sufficient, and she was able to realize that thanks to her tutelage by her senpai who she desperately wanted to be with, but presumably learned was a better resource/reference than a potential lover.

Nako didn't have much of an arc in that same respect, but some characters are less dynamic than others. The Tari Tari approach would have had her go off on some bullshit "finding herself" arc that would have been distracting, and again I say that as someone who enjoyed Tari Tari.
>>
>>141083342
I don't understand this meme. Uchouten isn't really even "deep" or "hipster" anime, it's just an funny story about funny people that has a bit unusual art-style. Liking it shouldn't make you realistically any more of a pretentious person than liking any other anime in existence. What is it that awakes such emotions and strong opposition in this anime? Can you actually explain it to me without resorting to buzzwords?

Dude, you're doing it wrong. Those are in whole different departments. imo, Okada's pretty much hit or miss, nothing solid. You won't get retarded, as in true to the meaning of the word kind of retard, bros like in IBO in real life. You can never get a bunch of outcasts to act like they did act in Mayoiga in real life. So, it all boils down to perspective. Praise be from Okadafags and haters be calling her a hack.

There's shit like Canaan and Another too, which make the "bad" pile incomparable. Angel Beats is disappointing and mediocre. I wouldn't put it in good pile, but not exactly in bad either.

>>141083301
I don't know what you mean about the written dialogue being awful. Do you mean the fact that they don't talk in huge soliloquies? Are you saying their lines aren't the kinds of things they would say? That's such a vague criticism and I'm curious what you actually mean by it.

To give you an example of what I mean, early on in the series when Minchi keeps telling Ohana to "just die" and Ohana eventually corners her and demands she stop telling that to her because "how would you feel if I really did die?" and puts her in her place, then Minchi starts calling her "hobiron" instead and you don't find out until later what that actually means, when Ohana discovers her notes about "what's a just-mean-enough thing I can call her." That's a great character interaction. That's the kind of thing Okada is good at coming up with.

I think girls are generally pretty nasty to each other in ways that most anime doesn't acknowledge, but Okada goes there and that makes her writing more realistic.
>>
>>141083370
Gross titty monster.
>>
>>141083117
I was just thinking in regards to characters getting an episode, Tari Tari stuck to the main five while Hanairo had episodes for fucking everyone. People got fleshed out then never reappeared, like that guy who runs a hotel and wanted to marry Yuina or the girl who wanted to make omurice. It's awesome that no one was neglected but it's also a bit of a slog since they have absolutely no influence to Ohana's life.

The worst thing about Tari Tari definitely is the school closing down thing which was unnecessary cheap drama. The idea must have been to make them seem more like underdogs and their concert more triumphant.
>>
>>141083377
Sure, and it's the base premise. But point was that TK is a funny character because he's the odd one out, comedy sidekick, mystery engrish dancer. If you take the mystery away, the things that made him character great disappear. It's not even about becoming tiring, as the drama is the base premise as you said, it just wouldn't fit his character.

That said, I think he actually has own route planned in the VN. I think it's more sad than any drama the backstory might involve.

To be more specific, sometimes they say things that are really outlandish, even in anime. I can't think of any specific example, but its kind of like Ohana saying she wants to shine. That line is fine (I loved bonboru) but some of the others felt really awkward and forced. The dialogue never goes full retard, but it felt shaky at times.

I think the fact that we're discussing a show that came out five years ago means that less people are just floating into this thread and probably means it's an older crowd doing most of the posting.

I understand not liking Uchouten's character designs, but Hanasaku Iroha had pretty standard directing. UK's visual direction stands out a lot compared to the rest of PA Works' shows.
>>
>>141084071

Shows like this might get a thread once every few weeks, and the people who'd be interested in talking about it might catch that thread once every couple months. It's a nice break from shitposting all over the latest meme show of the month.

They made an Anime Mirai episode when it first started called Bannou Yasai Ninninman that looks very similar to Uchouten but those things have a super budget.

I hated her for being such a pushover while Ohana was being bullied early on. Never forgave her for that.

Ninninman is older than UK though. He also made Mai no Mahou to Katei no Hi in 2011, which also looks like UK. Those three are his only roles as director, and only UK is a TV anime, sadly.

I remember being pissed off during the first ep when she beats the shit out of Ohana. By the time she was chugging beer with her daughter and grandaughter, however, I had fallen in love.

>I think girls are generally pretty nasty to each other in ways that most anime doesn't acknowledge, but Okada goes there and that makes her writing more realistic.
I've seen, in other shows by Okada, girls being mean to each other to degrees that are downright insane. It's almost like she's overcompensating for most writers making all girls moeblobs & waifus. Fortunately she seems to tone it down for romance focused shows.
>>
>>141085055

The best characters are always people who could feel sorry for themselves if they wanted to, because they legitimately were put through a lot of unfair shit, but choose to make something of themselves instead.
>>
I can't say there is a single P.A works anime i would call good,aside from Shirobako.
That's probably because i don't like shows that rely on melodrama.

I like Kuromukuro so far.

>>141085806
I thought Shirobako was a melodrama too.

I'd put my top 5 PA Works shows as:
Shirobako > Uchouten Kazoku > Tari Tari > Iroha > Nagi no Asukara

I really like the dialogue in Tari Tari, when the characters talk to each other there's some playful banter between them that makes their friendship feel a bit more authentic. I also thought Iroha as just a bit too long, that's why I put Tari Tari a bit ahead.

Kuromukuro so far has been pretty good, last episode really nailed the fish out of water thing. Also the imouto is pretty funny and lovable.

It baffles me how people can put their other shows above Uchouten Kazoku, but I admittedly haven't watched them so I try not to start shit over it. I really love UK, and those other shows don't look like they could beat it, so I'm always skeptical. But I guess the only way to find out is watching them myself, since it's opinions after all.

A most of the VN covered exactly what happened in the anime, to the point where a lot of the lines were word-for-word exactly the same as the anime. I enjoyed the series quite a bit so I didn't mind the re-hash too much, but I know they got some backlash for it.

The new bits, Matsushita and Iwasawa's routes were great though, best parts of the VN. Both routes were pretty impacting, had all the ups and downs Key is loved for.

Hanasaku started out great but then it got lost somewhere in the middle and you didnt really know what it wanted to say. Not a very consistent series. I loved the movie however. For me, only Shirobako and NagiAsu rank higher than the movie.

Unsubtle drama, instead of building it up, you literally frown in front of your audience's face. Okada is known for tha, but the main reason she constantly does because she feels her society doesn't let space to express your emotions, that's why most of her characters are constantly telling how they feel and what they feel regardless it's awkward for us.

I'm 130% for the characters and their interactions in Zakuro, but not the plot. Such a slow progression due to the manga being where it was and not enough sweet, sweet filler.

Voice work is great though, and it had one of the best character songs of all time.
