How much value do you put into visual direction?

How much value do you put into visual direction?

None. I'm blind.

Enough to avoid ugly garbage like Shaft anime

Not enough to ignore a shitty plot, which is why I don't enjoy Monogatari.

Plot is the least important part of a story. And certainly the least important part of a work.

Look at this faggot.

...

>falling for the visual medium meme

It's true. The actual events of a story don't matter nearly as much as the way it's told. A boring story about walking to Wal-mart can be told in an interesting or entertaining way and be far more valuable than a complex story about space warfare that's told like shit.

I won't pick up an anime unless the characters are pretty

How is a plot relevant to a story in a MEANINGFUL way. You can't relate or resonate with a plot as you would well developed, relatable, and interesting characters, or have an effect on you that resonant themes would onto your life.

Even if the story is really good, i can't watch Berserk shitty cgi.

That has nothing to do with visual direction. That has to do with garbage CG rendering.

I don't think you understand the difference between plot and story.

A lot, that's why I don't watch fucking SHAFT

The actual events that happen in a story don't matter as much as the story, characters, visual direction, etc.
user is correct

give me an ontological proof of that statement

Patrician taste over here.

Kill yourself

as expected

What meme you dipshit? It's a fucking visual medium.

>Plot is the least important part of a story.
Am I getting trolled?

No, you're just a basic person.

It's an opinion, dipshit. Also it's just true.

None. The only thing I care about is entertainment as a whole.

yes, it's just true despite your inability to give an ontological proof

The meme where people misinterpreted that as a reason to artificially favour certain aspects over others.

Then why don't you prove to me that plot matters more to the objective quality of a work

I never claimed that though

None, i'm deaf

Why the fuck would I care about visual direction in a visual medium?

memes

Enough for bad visuals to ruin a good story, which is why I don't enjoy Monogatari.

>monogatari
>good story

Well shit, if it doesn't have a good story after all, I don't know why anyone enjoys it in the first place. Certainly not for the visuals.

The story and how characters interact are more important to me than visual direction

100% that's a non question. That's like How much value do you put in prose, or how much value do you put into gameplay. It's infinitely important

Why

Because it's how the work interacts with you. It's how it argues it's ideas.

No. Simple people dont need plots getting in the way of shiny colours and pretty things. I mean who has time to understand things when you can just watch a slideshow of an anime

I only watch like 2 anime every season because outside of the few remarkable titles I can't deal with all the noise.

>Plot is the least important part of a story.

This is only true if your work has charm.

If it doesn't it's not a worthwhile piece either way.
Plot is literally the easiest aspect to appreciate. Oh wow cool events are happening.

There is not a single worthwhile anime plot. If you watch it for anything other than cute girls or mindless action you have some sort of malfunction in your brain.

You clearly haven't watched Uchouten Kazoku

>There is not a single worthwhile anime plot
Now that's bullshit. There's no objective way you can decide it.

Sure there are

Were there studio wars back in the golden age of American animation?

>Disney sameface strikes again!
>Warners isn't technically an animation studio! And Mel Blanc plays MC, what a surprise!
>There goes Fleischer again, covering up their QUALITY with 3-D effects.

None.

>there are people ITT arguing over cartoons

I HATE when people care about their hobbies

>consuming entertainment is a hobby

why are you on the anime board if you're apathetic to it?

and this isn't even specific to animation. This argument is relevant to all art. How much value the viewer places on technique of emotions rather than the composite narrative.

why are you so easily baited

Monogatari has a garbage story

it's funny because monogatari means story

Why doesn't Shaft hire talented directors?

Costs money to get talented folks and they don't care about making good anime.

Because Shinbo will literally force his style down their throat instead of allowing creative freedom.

Why are you guys responding to poor bait?

Is that meme arrow supposed to imply that's not an objectively true statement?

Why do you keep taking so much nigger cock if it keeps giving you a prolapsed anus?

You mad your favourite studio is devoid of talent?

Why doesn't SHAFT hire actual professional animators that won't draw characters off model in every single scene?

Enough to never watch Madoka because the character designs are atrocious.

Calm down autist

Kizu's opening sure was lit

They hired Shinbo over a decade ago

More like Shinbo hired SHAFT.

did they not get Watanabe to be the chief AD for Monogatari

how is she so cute bros

when is 02

I kinda get what you're trying to say, but 'hired' is the wrong word for it

This is a 500 year old vampire that can kill oddities

Airs in theaters next week, BD in half a year or so.

Like who? What anime directors actually have talent.

I challenge anyone to name 5.

do waifus count as visuals?

Reasonably high. I can turn off my brain to enjoy a shitty pretty show more easily than I can turn off my eyes to enjoy an ugly masterpiece.

FUCK

just the way i like em

>believing a woman when she tells you her age
She's 598.

Naoko Yamada

I feel like he's been regressing as a director.

Amagi and High Speed are easily his worst works as a director, what is this nigga doing?

>kyoani drone
>thinking he has some kind of high ground

His episodes are still top notch.

SHAFTshitter please go

I have no specific love of Kyoani, just hard work and talent.

Yeah, you're right about that.

Man, this place is really similar to Sup Forums

I think i'll stay

Kenji Nakamura

What a waste of dubs.

Welcome, you'll surely feel like home.

Kizu's art belongs in the trash

Whoever you are OP, I just wanna know that I really appreciate these threads.

This is 100% right.
