You lied to me /a/
You told me Hibike was good.
What I watched was an overdirected, melodramatic mess of a series that was as shallow as a kiddie pool.
Why is this so praised? Because of yurifags?
>>144107831
Your own fault. When was the last time KyoAnus did anything worth watching?
What the hell does "overdirected" mean?
I liked the animation and OST.
>overdirected

It doesn't feel natural. Actions, sets and everything feel like a film.

Ignoring your heavy overexaggeration, would you like it better if every talking scene was framed completely flat?
>>144108039
>this is somehow a bad thing
>>144108039
Oh, so you're not used to good looking anime with actual cinematic direction?
>>144108084
>>144108097
>>144108135
Its exhausting when it happens EVERY SINGLE CONVERSATION
Hence overdirected
>>144108097
It is. It's showing off.
>>144108157
Watching so much shit anime with lazy animation and camera work has ruined your little brain.
What was her fucking problem? Anytime she was on screen I was annoyed.
That's because most anime aren't even trying to be good. At least Hibike tries. It's just a shitty medium.
>>144108212
She loved her senpai.
>>144108039
>Anime looks smart and that makes me feel unconfortable
>>144108212
I loved this show, but fuck that cunt.
>>144108172
>Being good at something is now showing off
Yeah, really we should be mad at all artists. Fucking show-offs, rubbing how good they are at making stuff.
>>144107831
>>144107831
Go back to /v/ and watch dragon ball and attack on titan faggot
>>144107914
I'm pretty sure it's the exact same complaint KyoAnifags regularly make about Shaft, he just phrased it dumber.
>>144108135
instagram filters and lens flare do not look good.
>>144108084
It's not over exaggeration. Literally go to any conversation in the series and you'll see it happen.
>>144107831
Your first mistake was listening to /a/.
not even actual yuri, just fucking bait
>>144108290
I have a feeling I know what you're talking about, but what Shaft does and and what KyoAni (particularly Yamada) does are really two different things.
Out of everything KyoAni has done that I've seen, this is the first time I felt like they did good. The show feels original and refreshing. The artistic value has a lasting impression and helps to seperate it from other "similar" anime. The characters (MC) in particular feel a lot more realistic. At first glance they seem like one-dimensional stereotypes but they aren't (for the most part). The soundtrack is great, the animation is great, and the characters can be original and relatable. Way better than Haruhi, K-ON!, and Clannad combined.
as simple as it is... expect nothing from no one. specially from the trashcan of the internet that is 4chan.
>directed by Ishihara and Yamada
>both of whom have worked in film previously (Disappearance of Haruhi, and Tamako Love Story)
>they wanted to take their experience of film to the small screen to push the medium of TV anime
>this is a bad thing
OP pls.
>>144107831
It's praised because it IS a good show.
Why is it a good show?
-Good Music:
One thing this show did that I personally praisse it for more than I can for almost every other show of it's like i''ve seen is that it just fucking let the music play during its finale, and the characters didn't explain how the music was supposed to make you feel during crucial moments. I'm looking at you Shigatsu wa Kimi no Uso.
-Good directing:
Shot composition, animation, character designs, voice acting, musical production quality, writing(mostly), were all well above KyoAni's usual standard.
-Characters:
It was nice to see people actually competent at their craft, and to watch other characters get better at their craft, and struggle with competitive pressure, as well as drama to overcome their insecurities.
My favorite part of this show was how every character managed to grow in some way, especially Kumiko, and it showed through her performance and her will to actually try, and how it was all because she befriended this amazing person who inspired her, and that's a feeling I can relate to like fuck.
And well, that's my two cents. the details are neither here nor there, but I feel like the show managed to convey it's themes and character well enough for me to walk away from it feeling happy to see the characters succeed through their hardships.
And on top of that, there's more to come and im excited.
>>144108299
you're retarded.
You don't know what the fuck a lens flare is.
>>144108135
Not related to Hibike specifically, but the more cinegrids I see, the more I hate them as a concept. Contextless shots are almost never that impressive, and whether they are impressive out of context or not doesn't reflect with any real weight on the directing of the show.
>>144108304
There aren't six different shots before the speaking starts. In a reasonably long conversation there will be 2 or 3 while speaking occurs, though there are more in higher impact scenes.
>decide to try the first episode
>hdr, depth of field, and shaky cam abuse like it's an AAA video game
but I still want to rub Kumiko's chest
>>144108871
I still have no idea why some of you people think any of those techniques are bad. They all have its purpose.
>>144108971
The problem is when they get cranked all the way up to 10 instead of something more subtle. Vaseline covered windows are not appealing.
>>144109175
Why are they no appealing? What difference would it make if the background was crisp in that image?
perfection
Im still rooting for Reina to fuck sensei
>>144108039
Given a choice between this and two static talking heads with two frames of animation for the mouth movements, I'll take this.
>>144107831
>overdirected
You absolute invalid.
You meant to say "poorly directed," and everyone that watched the show agrees with you that it wasn't one of its strong points, and only morons say otherwise.
>>144109560
The direction was pretty good though
The former half has almost nothing that could be considered as good cinematic directing or cinematography.
A1, A3, C3, D2, and D3 are particularly awful shots.
>>144109560
>You meant to say "poorly directed," and everyone that watched the show agrees with you that it wasn't one of its strong points
Pretty sure it's the opposite.
>>144109609
No it fucking wasn't, especially on the second to last episode.
>>144109175
Blurring the outside of a train window isn't the same as bokeh. I'm not even sure what some of you people are complaining about.
>>144109738
But it was.
>>144107831
Euphonium was another brilliant kino delivered by none other than the gods of the industry. You need to show some fucking respect you bottom feeding shitter.
>>144109716
They're referring to the sound direction.
>>144109560
No, you're the moron here. The series was pretty well directed. Not perfect, sure, but there are no significant problems with the direction. Anyone complaining about it, it just didn't suit their tastes and they're unable to make the distinction between not suiting their tastes and actually bad.
What exactly is wrong with these scenes?
https://u.pomf.is/pxwzfz.webm
https://u.pomf.is/drevet.webm
>>144109758
Stop shitposting and misuing kino. Saying that Hibike has good direction is an insult to masters of cinematic timing and nuance like Resnais, Fellini or Wajda. I'd appreciate it if you stopped saying that. It only has relatively good direction compared to anything else from that season.
Now I have to deal with the same undeserved praise with Re:Zero and its insufferable fanbase worshipping amateur shots and pans and a godawful credits sequence. Why can't you guys just open a book, for once?
I've read every post in this thread and I still have no fucking idea what "overdirected" means.

How about you leave your autism aside and just relax, you arrogant self-centered pretentious faggot? Throwing a few names you've searched on Google doesn't give you a point.
>>144108290

>>144109891
>https://u.pomf.is/drevet.webm
Nothing but the voice acting in the second one was shit.
>>144110089
If there's one thing that Hibike doesn't have, its subtlety, especially visually. It's not exactly tasteful with its characters' mannerisms and facial expressions, particularly during dialogue. It's just rather cookiecutter stuff.
>>144110095
That's called having a trademark, you fucking buzzword-spouting idiot.

I honestly can't follow you with this. Give me one conversation from the show where this was the case for you.
>>144110313

>>144110124

You're damn right it explains everything.
>>144110313
I actually agree with what he says in the second paragraph (although I'm not a huge fan of that approach, honestly), but then he fucked it up.
>>144110285
>pointless cuts
I think I'm starting to understand your problem. Please, go back to whatever show you watched before Hibike. It would be to the benefit of all of us.
>>144107831
Liking Hibike is just a meme. How come you fall from it?
>>144110300
Says the brainlet that misconstrued my original post and thinks I implied anything.
>>144110285
Your main argument lies with the repetition of said cuts as you've said here >>144108157
Most shots are here to create an atmosphere and emphasize the characters' dialogues when they talk about the club and practice by showing instruments, the club room and other stuff. If you want the camera focused on the characters only, SHAFT is more up your alley.
>>144110213
I hope you're thinking of something more specific than "showing shots of different things during a discussion," because that's not exactly unique.
>>144110058
How can you misuse "kino"? It's like misusing baneposting, it's just a shitty, nonsense meme.
>>144109891
Was the lightsaber censor really necessary on the sheet music? Is it really that lewd?
And why is the camera shaking when they're not on a boat?
>>144110385
Feel free to tell me what the point is of all the cuts to motionless feet and eyes other than trying to look cool
>>144107831
>Why is this so praised? Because of yurifags?
Yeah that and the pic related is top tier waifu. KyoAni knows how to draw and animate them waifus.
>>144110475
What's the point of images? Just rip the audio from the video all together.
>>144110475
Don't even bother. He's going to say something vacuous like "establishing atmosphere" or something about accentuating a critical moment in character interactions. It's quite sad.

>>144107831
The overanimation while being melodramtic got me. Like that scene you posted there. Also, over filler word meme.
Come on anon, it is 2016.
>>144110546
By all means, tell us what "actually good direction" does, we're all ears.
>>144110475
Let me tell you something that I learned long ago. I don't recall when, but it was probably in a place called a school. There are parts of the body that are more expressive than others Feet and hands are one of them. Your saying that the cuts were to "motionless" feet is almost certainly untrue, as Yamada has for years been a fan of having her characters talk with them.
But feet and hands are nothing compared to a person's eyes. If you've ever studied film, or art, or even enjoyed the consumption of either of those things, you'd have realized the amount of attention paid to a person's or character's eyes.
These "meaningless cuts" are things that help tell the story. They're things that let you understand the characters better, even without them saying anything.
And to you, it's over direction.
>>144110691
looks like you can't read
>motionless feet
>>144110635
>unironically using the word cringey
>>144110635
>Trademark doesn't exist in direction
Fuck off. Most people do things their own way, that's what trademark is. It exists everywhere in crafts and even in your speech. Everybody uses patterns.
>>144110691
Go ahead and tell me what those legs are trying to represent
>>144110691

>>144110691

>>144110475
Anime is a visual medium, what exactly is wrong with doing things with it to make it look interesting? Besides, you can "say" a fair bit about what's going on, what's on characters' minds, their moods, etc with cuts like that.
>>144110691
>Hibikefags actually think that's a good webm
I feel ashamed to call myself a Kyoani fan
You want a good lower body shot that speaks volumes in half the time? Go watch Children of Men.
>>144110737
>>144110815
It's not about 'representing' anything. It's about setting the mood. Even without sound you can see the girl in the front is the one driving the conversation, meaning she's probably the most outgoing. With sound, that shot just serves to strengthen the point.
>>144110835

I wasn't using that as an example as something good, actually. I honestly thought that was a bit much from Yamada.
However, I included it to show that it's a staple of her style.
>>144110935
but the post he replied to >>144110475 said cool.
the hibike fanbase is almost as delusional as Re:Zero's
Literally everyone agreed that it was above average at best, and that it was one of Kyoani's worst shows. KnK and Hyouka were much better directed.

>>144110966

If you're familiar with K-ON, you'd instantly be able to tell which character is which from that webm. So much of their character is shown through how their legs are animated in that scene.
>>144111011
>Literally everyone agreed that it was ... one of Kyoani's worst shows
Not even close, friend.
it was okthe umaku naritai scene is one of my favorite anime scenes of all time
>>144110737
>>144110815
Not him and I don't exactly know what shot this is from but
Right girl is always walking backwards while facing the others that walk in this direction. That means she enjoys being the center of attention, standing out from the others and looking at people directly.
Second to right has a rather casual walking style that gets even more casual as the webm goes on until the end where she's jumping around. She's quite the mood shifter and got relaxed through the conversation.
Left behind 's walking style is rather straight and doesn't change. She's most likely the serious and hardworking type. She also probably doesn't show much emotion.
Second to left is skipping around quite a bit. She's rather relaxed but seems a bit concerned about showing it.

>Why is this so praised
I don't know. There were people who really liked it when it aired but recently I've been seeing such effusive praise for it. There's been a lot of "Hibike is 2015 AOTY" posts and I don't know where it's coming from.
>>144111130
You also missed the obvious metaphor with the pole with how they shift back into normal walking stances, but otherwise, good job.
>>144111035
>>144111059
You are just as retarded as him.
>>144111274
I don't know about AOTY, but Hibike was definitely a Top 5 in 2015.
>>144111289
Hey! I see you!
>>144111252
I'm just saying that you're talking as though they aren't identifiable through normal means, when they are - you wouldn't have made that point if it had been a full-body shot, because it would have been obvious who was who, and due to the differences in clothing/skin color, it was still obvious who was who.
>>144111323
yeah, it's summer, alright
>>144111315
>>144111274
It was a top contender for AOTY in 2015, it's coming from all the /a/nons who watched it and in large numbers actually voted for it to be AOTY in 2015.
I don't know which bait should I go for
>>144111385
There's only one correct answer.
Why are people so obsessed and jealous of Kyoani? Is it because they have the best animation and every other studio wants to be like them?
I have to agree. This tries way too hard to the point of distraction.
I adore great editing, unexpected cuts and scene changes. This is like a freshman liberal arts student just discovering cinematography was a thing, and overextending it.
Nothing will come close to Nodame imo, as far as music anime. If it had more budget to cut back on the audience pans it would have been one of the best.
>>144111470
KyoAni mastered the arts of eyecandy and wasting money.
Is that the point of the webm?

>KyoAni budgets are below average
>>144111477
The thing that separates Hibike and Nodame for me, is that Hibike just plays the music and makes it obvious who is playing better through the sound alone. Other shows like Nodame always feels the need to include voiceovers to explain when someone is playing well. It shows a lack of confidence and respect for the audience

>>144111695
Haikyuu, OPM, and Death Parade maybe. But Owari no Seraph went downhill after episode 8 or 9. Still, top 5 in a year with over 250 shows is not bad at all, yet /a/ shits on Hibike or any other KyoAni shows like they're sub par in every regard.

>>144113066
Maybe you don't understand, KyoAni shows are top tier as far as kinography goes, hence why I call them KinoAni
>>144111470
To be truly objective, Kyoani generally offers a good level of detail and smooth animation.
Their Anime are super saturated, but for me this is not a bad thing. Then, their stories may be good or not, and no doubt they have always a moe element quite intrusive, but aesthetically, at last, I appreciate a lot their effort.

She was loyal and protective of her senpai. She was wrong, but for the right reasons

Because of yurifags.

KyoAni is the most popular and divisive studio on /a/ after all.
>>144113714
They ain't that popular. Bones, Madhouse ad Trigger is way more popular.
>>144113753
None of those have as many haters and fans, at least not on /a/.
Is Hibike the litmus test for whether an anon has taste?

The sole reason why I like this show is because of yuri.
>>144107831
>Why is this so praised?
KyoAnifags gonna fag. You've now learned an important lesson.
I watched like two episodes of this show. It was boring. It takes everybody 5 minutes to say anything, even when they wind up saying nothing. They didn't even play the euphonium.
KyoAni has mastered two things. Overuse of eye highlighting and selling it to faggots with no taste beyond eye highlighting.
>>144108212
I really hated her at first but I really warmed up to her once she started realizing what she was doing and why it was wrong.

>>144107831
KyuAnusfags and yurifags that think two girls being intimate means that there's yuri.
But yurifags don't even like this, I'm a yurifag who can see the piece of shit studio Kyoani is and I won't ever watch their shit anime for free ever again, I fucking hate getting baited
>>144117312
Same. I wished people would stop praising this for having "the best yuri relationship" but then again KyoAnusfags are quite autistic.
My only problems with Hibiki are yuribait and extremely poorly handled Shoe (if he was done better I would be fine with it; I like romance)
sadly these are enormous detriments for me, tho
As a "band" story, it's okay.
>>144111315
I think you mean Hibike is definitely #1.
I liked it but for some reason I really, really fucking hated Reina.
Ready for their next 3 masterpieces?
>>144118665
My heart is ready for all three!
>>144118626
Success breeds jealousy
Hibike is the unassailable masterpiece of KinoAni. People trying to criticize it just come across as desperate to be honest
>>144119090
More like I can see my autism in her, yet she doesn't give a fuck about getting along with other people, unlike me.

>>144118665
I haven't seen such a good lineup in a while. Now if KyoAni is doing FMP my dick will explode.
desu there are some things I like about this show:
• MC (Kumiko is exactly my type of girl)
• Pretty animation (It's eyecandy)
• Photography composition (Actually pretty good)
• Real music (They don't explain shit, you notice the difference each time they play)
What I don't like:
• Slow pacing (It's a SoL band members life series instead of a SoL music series so I think it's just me not accepting the thing as it really is)
• Reina and her bait (Their interactions are sexy but that much bait is cancerous)
I don't consider it to be "overdirected" or whatever shit you've named. It has the same pacing a japanese SoL movie has... and it's exasperating. Like those indie or art movies. Don't know the therm in english, but I hope you get the point.
I want to have sex with Kumiko
I want to rape Kumiko
>>144107831
i agree. it isn't that good. the yuri pandering completely destroyed the show for me. it was shallow.
if they focused on the characters instead then maybe kyoani would have managed to get closer to their best works

This. If it did what it did, then it would be good.

I just rewatched it yesterday and it was honestly better than I remember it to be.
The anime was great but I really agree with this anon. >>144122284
The yuri bait was completely necessary and it detracts way too much from the show. I actually like yuri, but it needs to go somewhere. Yuri for the sake of sales is terrible and does nothing.
>playing around with my keyboard sound settings
>has everything from strings, winds, ocarinas, shamisen, even sound effects like explosions and trains

Not like it ever sounds like the actual instrument but come on
>>144126651
It wasn't yuri bait though. It was adolescence.
The yuri bait never bothered me but Kumiko being a complete cunt did.
>>144108212
She deserves to get raped by a gang of 10 niggers and sold as a sex slave and exploited until she dies from some disease.

>>144128906
Reina has her hands all over Kumiko in the novels, it gets to the point where Kumiko is just sitting there and Reina would start casually playing with her hair. But /u/ likes to pretend that the novels is 100% straight so it makes them feel better about being baited.

I really want to know why the purple loli is designed like that. Not only is that kind of twintail rarely seen but she's the only one with pure golden eyes instead of the more common yellow.
Is Hibiki going to KyoAni's Madoka? Meaning in a few years no one will really talk about it and people will start to admit how overrate it was?
>>144140244

The most I ever see of Madoka now is someone posts that scene from the movie with the gun-fu, and everyone starts making fun of how stupid it looks.
/a/ is basically a bunch of guys desperately wishing they were schoolgirls. That's why the board laps up melodrama and 99% of discussion revolves around who's hot, who's not, and who should be shipped with who.
>>144141175
That is true.
Although I rather wish I would be a sexy futa having sex with other pretty futas while occasionally posting about which person ought to be shipped with whom and who's hot or not.
>>144141431
Any more?

>>144141734
>>144141431

>>144141734
I really love this one. It's not weird and it's probably pretty common in the real world, but in anime, I don't see hairstyles like this very often. This actually looks like something a real girl would do with her hair.

Yeah, cutting to the floor is a weird one.
People earlier in the thread have explained why it would be done, but I agree that abusing things like that for short shots can be bad. It gives information to the watcher while the others influence the mood of the characters as well, so jumping back and forth between the two can be strange.
>>144147988
Nobody mentioned the actual reason, that Yamada just has a leg fetish
>>144140088
Pretty much. It's fucking depressing seeing how many people praise Hibike. I'm sure they'll mature in a few years, so don't worry.

You must be one creepy motherfucker.
Sustained eye contact is rarely needed for conversations between friends. And when it was needed I remember the anime keeping the focus on the characters. Like the argument between Asuka and the club president. Granted I haven't watched it since it aired so I may be remembering wrong.

Holy shit do you even watch the show? Also do you think just because it's not straight to the point it's bad?
God dammit you do know that these setup the mood and are not just out of nowhere. They help you ingest the settings and not just get slapped onto another setting. Most they use these as transitions or a way to enforce the mood.

Hey. Re:Zero for what it's worth did a great job so far. The visuals are consistent enough to give it merit but the strength of it comes from the way it tells its story and handles its characters. The emotional parts have been spot on so you can't say that it doesn't deserve the praise.

>>144110153
or how about stop defending insufferable garbage and accept a wish fulfillment harem trash for what it is.
>>144107831
you have to at least accept that it has superb visual and animation quality.
The forced romance part was bad. Not to mention Shuichi is a terrible character only existing to give MC a love interest.

>forced romance
What does the word "forced" mean anymore?
>>144158662
The romantic drama came out of nowhere without proper build-up.

Welcome to high school.
>all these mad kyoani haters
There is a reason why Kyoani is the most discussed studio in /a/.
>>144159642
based soley on the eva threads and madoka/monogatari threads I'd say Gainax and Shaft are more discussed. Probably Sunrise too
>>144120202
i used to think forced animation was a buzzword till i saw this.
>>144159922
That doesn't look bad
>>144159768
Keep dreaming
>>144158446
Visually it was great but the animation was average as far as KyoAni shows go
Are they gonna fuck?
>>144162191
I have a feeling that KyoAni will actually lair these two. Kumiko might not actually end up with anyone.
>>144162227
How is it in the novels? Can they just do whatever the fuck they want with the story?
>>144162355
in the novels Kumiko fucks the boytoy childhood friend, and reina is in love with sensei. There is no yuri.
>>144162425
>There is no yuri.
Stupid troll.
>>144107831
>Why is this so praised? Because of yurifags?
Bingo
>>144162547
Is there a lot of yuri, or is it all just headcanon?
>>144162594
Retards claim it's yuri even if one the girls likes sensei.
>>144162594
Do you really think the yurifags need anything factual or substantial to start yurifagging?
>>144110076
Quite impossible since anime lacks improvisation. Every single frame has been directed.
>>144162594
There is a reason /u/ exists. It's because /u/fags can't keep their shit to themselves and shit up any and all discussion that involves more than a single female.
>>144162818
>There is a reason /u/ exists.
Gather 'round guys, we got ourselves a 4chan expert.
>>144162818
It doesn't help much when all of them are crossboarders and sperg their autism everywhere.
>>144162625
>one the girls likes sensei
Ever heard of red herring? What she says doesn't match her touchy feely gesture with Kumiko.
>>144154633
Better than Haruhi and Clannad, but not K-On.

Since when did /tv/ become invested in kyoani?
>>144163480
/tv/ has been here forever, big guy
>>144107831
Its kyoani and yurishit
These two things probably have the biggest fanbase on /a/
Of course every subhuman here will like it
>>144162191
Season 2 bro. Let's hope.
