this, but I understand these idiots' mindsets. Back in 2007, I was so amazed by Death Note in part because it was so much more flashy compared to other anime I had seen.

Thankfully, not only did I get older since then, I got smarter and better taste.

I love how that showdown on top of the hand scene is basically sequential storytelling with little to no movement yet it feels so damn alive. Whenever current Imaishi trides to use sliding/pans trying to achieve some sort of effect and fails spectacularly I just remember this and wonder where it all went wrong with Gainax.
>>
>>142523481

The closeups in Hyouka generally work in the context of its editing though. Putting them isolated on a pretty picture collage robs them of any effect. This tends to apply to most closeups.

Imaishi was deeply involved in its production to the point where it's a fundamental part of its career and you can trace back his developments back to episode 5.

I just noted the superb use of a "cheap" animation technique in that scene and compared it to lackluster applications in stuff like KlK or Luluco. Imaishi is the connection.
