Each time WIT has done panning shots was because of deadlines, budgetary concerns, or personnel concerns (Attack on Titan, Seraph of the End, and Rolling Girls).

Surprisingly not that much. There was a huge extended sequence in episode 17 where an entire battle was just a long panning shot but really the show had some bad choreography in general towards the end when Araki realize he blew most of their budget on the first four episodes.

She doesn't. Basically the plot doesn't advance at all unless she's around to save everyone's ass.

Like that's how they broke the zombie stalement where the train couldn't go forward and the zombies couldn't get in the train.

It's not shading unless the color interfaces are CRISP and CLEAR. When you blur them like that, you go from "good shading" to "banded gradient". Colors must stand in sharp contrast to each other, not flow gently from one to the next.

No you baka, they're Mikimoto character designs. Obviously I care more about this than you since I actually know who drew it.

And honestly, it looks like total rubbish next to what he drew 30 years ago. If you can't tell the difference between this and the half-assed effort in the OP, I dunno what to tell you.

Character design gets filtered through the actual animation department.

Hell if I recall right there's in fact another artist responsible for adapting that art to make it more animation-friendly so as to not burn out sweatshop animators.

So ultimately it's disingenuous to hold Mikimoto responsible for how every single frame of character animation looks.
>>
>>14282724
>So ultimately it's disingenuous to hold Mikimoto responsible for how every single frame of character animation looks.

You could say the same thing about literally every other show he worked on, they had animation directors too. And all of them looked perfectly fine and on-model. The screenshot in the OP is also very on-model. It's all Mikimoto's fault that his new character designs are the same noseless moeblobs that 90% of the shitty modern anime industry churns out. His manga work in The First and Ecole du Ciel only cements that.

Truth be told, I know I can't draw. I'm trying to improve everyday. You didn't need to get personal, you dumb virgin faggots. I don't need to be a great artist to critique something. Do you even know how much effort I put in my drawings? Sometimes I cry at night because my hand can't accomplish what my mind's eye imagines. Fuck you, I'd like to see you do better. Sure, I might be in my 30s but I've accomplished things like working on Dr. Who and I've done character designs for productions before. I'm sick of these moeshit nose trends with rubbish animation and shallow stories, what's wrong with liking the best decade for anime? The 80s were great and everything after has sucked. I bet you weren't even alive at the time or have even watched an anime older than Evangelion, you pleb. Come at me, I bet you can't draw a tire.

When was the last time we read a Western name in some anime/OVA/movie credit?

Much like Kitazume Mikimoto is among those character designers from the 80's and 90's who got worse as he ventured into digital processing. The people who praises Mikimoto's current output have probably never watched Tytania and only know he for his 80's output

Toyoo Ashida, though his fully-evolved style takes some getting used to looking at (while his mentor Toriyama pretty much settled into his style before adding lighting/shading).

Also, good old Tomonori Kogawa.

According to /m/, no anime this season (or last season or the season before that or before that or before that or before that or since Evangelion) looks good.
>>
>>14283271
I don't even think Evangelion looked good. But Escaflowne came after that, and then the medium died forever.

There's plenty of good looking shows this season Kabaneri just isn't one of them.

I agree, Hirai got a bad rap.

>>14283298
Similarly, people are quick to go to Hirai's defense whenever he does chara design on a show that people like even though it's the animators who are interpreting his designs, not him animating them personally.
>>
Eva looks good but that's mostly because it has really good directing and storyboards and whatever and manages to hide its low budget.

I think a big problem with new shows is that digital is _still_ sort of in a transition period where you have to hire really talented people to make it not look shitty. Right down to the weird artificial looking color selections, most studios are still just getting it wrong to my eyes

EVA looks good because it had the most autistic director of all times, which is usually the key to drawn stuff looking good.
And even then, some episodes stick out like a sore thumb for example Ep. 11 where chara design gets thrown out the window because Ghibli and all those fucking cheapskates things like elevator and kaworu scenes.

>>14283337
Looks good to me. expressive movement and faces, fun experimental touches (like the shadowy noir look in that episode where they fight that giant shiny orb angel), saved the budget for key action scenes, etc...

To be fair to Otaking, there has been a boom of the stuff and it increases as time goes on (I think it's fair to say that in some cases, cute-girls became a sort of Pokemon and Otaku are trying to catch them all). There are definitely other types of shows around, but the cute girls are the most apparent, just like super heroes are in Western comics.

As well, older cute girl shows had a different vibe than newer ones, where everybody is always in high school, the student body are made up of cute girls in short skirts, and they all just MIGHT be lesbian...but it's left ambiguous just in case you want one of them as your waifu (Good thing there's not in-story competition am I rite?!).

The whole big eyes small nose look originated on manga and anime focused on girls in the 70s, but starting from the 80s it also started being used by series focused on male audiences. Even something as iconic as Gunbuster already had very small noses compared to the original Macross.

And then somehow with the digital transition in the early 00s we got the "dot" noses.
>>
>>14283991
Anime is a commercial product. Shows with well written stories and characters will always lose to shit like Shimoneta or Love Live.

Shows like Patlabor and Moribito is why I watch anime but they don't make the money.

But hasn't that always been the case?
>>
>>14284070

Shimoneta? That wasn't successful either.
>>
>>14284070

not really but that's because if you pitch shows like shimoneta or love live before 2000 you'll get laughed at by the suits

But Patlabor made a tonne of money didn't it?
It got a huge tv show, two ovas, three movies, and a live action tv show.

>>14284103
Love Live could exist as long as one of the characters were a magical princess from some alternate dimension, even if nothing else changed and her background were basically irrelevant during most of the series.

Sounds about right, I even have a picture that has the vibe of that idea...sans the main girl getting hit by a car and such.

>>14284063

As a guy who actually likes drawing cute girl characters for fun, I actually don't like drawing dot noses at all. I always get the sense that the character can't breathe because her nose is too narrow to take in air. That and it's just kind of lazy.

Though the noses still end up pretty small, though.

They aren't "directing" anything when using panning shots, they are using a cheap substitute for actual animation and cinematography because they lack budget, time or talent.

The Moribito anime was just advertisement for the books, which are popular. Also it's getting a live action series too
and Patlabor was extremely succesful, way moreso than fucking Shimoneta atleast.

So basically you like some popular things but not other popular things. That's normal.

About that.. by the time he picked up his definitive style working on Toei's Dr. Slump adaptation he already had the skills he needed which he actually learned from Mushi back in the 60's. He just happened to really like Toriyama's style is all.

Sure explains a lot (good on him then, since Toriyama's style is very distinct).
