We had a pretty good newly-posted interview that gives more insight on the studio. >Ishidate has pleb taste on composers and directors (Hans Zimmer, fucking Nolan) >Music and other sound-related work is of lower priority for him, which may explain why Yamada was chosen to handle Hibike >They're currently building a third building, most likely to handle merch or their LN department (twitter.com/tama_nekonyan/status/769722267643228160) >It's not clear whether VEG will be a series or a movie, although the format of the story suits the former more.
I don't know if the janny was butthurt or he mistakenly thought it was a shitpost thread
>Inside Kyoto Animation HQ, we were greeted by Mr. Katsuhiko Muramoto, who's involved in Kyoto Animation's international business division
KyoAni wants dat gaijin dollars
David Nguyen
Who wouldn't, honestly? The current domestic market is hopelessly driven by the idol/fujo/gundam shows with very occasional standouts every two years or so.
Sebastian Rivera
They can even have my virginity. Anything for KinoAni
Easton Green
>Mr Muramoto confirmed that KyoAni were eminently capable of completing every aspect of animation – from storyboards and layouts to CG, backgrounds, and finished animation – right there in one place. Only editing, dubbing, music, and other tweaks would have to be done elsewhere. In an age of breakneck scheduling, chaotic pools of freelancers, and an endless flood of new work, Kyoto Animation's facilities exuded confidence and concentration. It was all extremely impressive.
Jason Robinson
Good luck getting us to pay anything
Aiden Barnes
I'll give Yamada my virginity.
Luke Hernandez
>I'm interested in most any genre, save horror. I just think this is funny, because Kyoukai no Kanata had horror shots and imagery, and the movie had body horror and gore.
Also I'm glad that Ishidate is getting more attention because he has a lot of potential as a director and is willing to branch out into actiony stuff and different settings.
Jaxson Perry
Kyoani is the cutest studio
Parker Walker
Takemoto cutest boy
Jason Moore
>Along every hallway and in every office, the studio was covered with stock photos of schoolyards, train stations; bridges, squares. All of these were meant to put the artists into the mindset of the film, and help them convey not just the story, but a sense of place, a real setting. Wow. KyoAni is really dedicated.
Adam Brooks
>>They're currently building a third building, most likely to handle merch or their LN And they're dying, they say
Jordan Lee
>enough money to be independent, buy a new building, buy the rights to anime, and be at the top of a production committee They don't fail.
Jeremiah Brown
How can Shaft slaves even compete?
Jacob Baker
By making better anime. Better to serve art in Shaft than to reign over nothing in KyoAni.
Charles Bell
>Ishidate: I was influenced by Ghibli as a kid. I repeatedly watched them, especially “Laputa: Castle in the Sky” to the extent that the videotape was almost worn out.
It's okay, we at Kyoani are welcoming you all Ghiblifags refugee.
Josiah Ward
>Shaft >art They have done nothing of value for 5 years. Honestly, Muska shooting off that girl's ponytail was art.
Levi Brown
>trying to twist the argument that his director worships my studio
Brandon Garcia
Mad house, white fox and trigger/gainax are the greatest anime studios of all time. Kyoani makes the same shit meme shows and the last good thing they made was Hyouka.
Adrian Torres
>Lantis slaves talking shit about Aniplex slaves How can Kyoani be a slave when they are the one at the top of production committee?
Dominic Jackson
>white fox and trigger Stop smoking Pedro
Henry Turner
...
Landon Murphy
Wow, they really kept the designs. I wish shaft had done the same with Zaregoto.
Jason Reed
>hating on Based Watanabe designs kys
Asher Rodriguez
Who Ishidate here?
Brandon Nelson
We should get Yamada a good writer so she can unleash her directing with a potent script.
Matthew Mitchell
No, not at all, we just welcome you people who become asylum seekers like those middle-eastern refugee ever since you lost Miyazaki on anime industry.
Henry Turner
>Watanabe >Based
Dude is a hack, should've stuck to designing for erogay
Caleb Hughes
Yoshida is a good writer.
Benjamin James
The designs weren't actually too bad, but the animators turned them into dogshit in that PV.
Hunter King
all thrash
Ian Carter
Takemoto is the best KyoAni director.
Sebastian Hall
Not after 2012.
Jackson Cruz
That's absolutely true. I wouldn't call them good when compared to later Take's designs, but they were decent, then the animators fucked Watanabe's work up . Anyway, that guy was baiting.
Oliver Lopez
>who is Yoshida They won't get anyone better as long as they don't relocate to Tokyo.
Anthony Gonzalez
>Amagi brilliant park >That Eupho episode >That PW episode >HS! He lost his touch when Hyouka ended.
Owen Parker
Guys where can I download the Hibike! Movie? Can't find it on nyaa
Luke Sanchez
This. By a long shot.
Samuel Robinson
kek, how many mini split do they need
Jason Sanchez
>He's not part of the secret club laughing_anime_girls.png
Alexander Rodriguez
>Amagi brilliant park >That Eupho episode Nothing wrong with these.
In current times though, Yamada and Ishidate are better than Takemoto.
Chase Nelson
>asylum seekers
If i am one of the Ghibli animators, i would be living large right now in my mansion with all the high-grossing Ghibli films cashes. I'll rest easy knowing i've made a big impact on the animation world and wonder when will Kyoani start doing the same.
Isaiah Perez
>If i am one of the Ghibli animators, i would be living large right now in my mansion with all the high-grossing Ghibli films cashes.
user, please.
Alexander Nelson
>wonder when will Kyoani start doing the same. How's that rock you live under?
Jackson Wright
user pls
Josiah Collins
which eupho episode?
Angel Moore
Please what? Stop drinking your tears?
Dominic Ortiz
It's okay to be a fanboy, but don't be delusional.
Parker Sanchez
The people who think KyoAni had no impact on the industry are delusional.
Jeremiah Wright
...
Daniel Miller
They did, but not big as Ghibli.
Matthew Cook
>Other studios say they want to be like kyoani >No impact
Evan Perry
>Moving goalposts
Isaiah Baker
As long as he cares, he's undeniably better than them. Just give him a worthy series.
Camden Young
Ep 7. Amagi was pretty bad editing and shot composition, storyboarding wise. The same can be said for Eupho 7. He lost his touch after Hyouka. If you're talking about Otaku Japan then KyoAni most definitely has made a big change in the industry. If you're on about animation in general then no one in the east right now is big enough to do anything.
Parker Nelson
He cared about High Speed and that sucked dick.
Nicholas Turner
Took them long enough. With the right marketing strategies gaijinbucks can topple current domestic revenues for many shows.
Caleb Brown
What is this fucking meme that you have to announce every time that you hate the studio.
Man this fucking salt is unreal, if you don't like the studio and the shows that it creates then don't fucking go to the threads discussing them, it is literally that easy.
Jackson Sanchez
>Yasuhiro Takemoto got to direct the two episodes outsourced to Kyoto Animation, and the effect Shinbo had on him can still be appreciated many years later. Kyoanusfags on suicide watch.
Jose Wright
Shinbo is being wasted at shaft.
Adam Williams
>random positive thing Shit, KyoAnifags BTFO!
Charles Brooks
>Takemoto became board member at the successful and independent Kyoani while $hinbo slaves away for Aniplex
The student has surpassed the master
Xavier Clark
>Undeniably better He just had a better script for a movie. Tamako was better than Hyouka storyboarding and composition wise. Hibike blows Hyouka apart in terms of silent moments and character animation. Also
Tyler Perry
Many years later as in the Lucky Star OVA you know that right? That was the last Shinbo shot Takemoto had done.
Carter Torres
Shinbo hasn't directed anything since ages. The only real talent in Shaft is Oishi.
>Tamako was better than Hyouka storyboarding and composition wise.
Pffft. user, please.
James Roberts
>this fucking troll again Ghibli's descomunal popularity on the west was mainly manufactured by Disney's marketing.
That doesn't mean they make bad shows, its just that they are often bloated by marketing, which takes away the effort the developing studio actually put in their show.
Also you can suck Miyazaki's cock all you want, that doesn't change the fact he has made hypocrital statements about the industry he worked on.
Leo Brooks
...
Brayden Ortiz
But that marketing is backed by the insta-classic movies Ghibli creates so your point is moot.
Pretty sure Lantis handles all music and sound production for Hibike there bro
Nicholas Green
That's a Hellfinger shot if anything. You're just blind if you couldn't see the difference between the sterile looking Hyouka and Tamako. Tamako was oozing atmosphere and character while Hyouka looked like it came from a fucking aseptic ER room.
Caleb Rivera
>You're just blind if you couldn't see the difference between the sterile looking Hyouka and Tamako.
Yes user, and he also "just had a better script for a movie", right? Dunno how you can be so biased. Just say that you personally liked Tamako's different atmosphere more instead of trying to prove something objectively and laughably wrong about the storyboarding and composition.
Elijah Kelly
He had great storyboards in Dissaperance but show me a single shot that looks meaningful in Hyouka and I'll shut up.
Isaac Sanchez
>show me a single shot that looks meaningful in Hyouka
So, now Hyouka doesn't even have a single shot that looks meaningful? Jesus user, just admit that you simply don't like his style instead of trying to bash it in such unresonable manners.
Angel Lewis
If you got any meaningful shot show it. This shot that he made in Dissaperance was great but he didn't make anything like that since.
David Flores
...
Jackson Gomez
...
Parker Roberts
That shot in the last episode where Oreki thinks about being Chitanda's husbando.
Cooper Rogers
The shot with the Chitanda angels
Ian Bailey
...
Luke Smith
Did you even watch it though?
Luis Miller
...
Luke Harris
Where are the feet? How can you call a shot meaningful if it doesn't contain feet.
Luis Nguyen
...
Carson Flores
yet another case of "I was merely pretending to be retarded"
Julian Thompson
So Hyouka must have shots as iconic (that's the right term) as the that one in Dissaperance to have better storyboarding and composition than Tamako or simply to have meaningful shots? user, that's a huge load of logical fallacies.
> he didn't make anything like that since
Duh, Disapperance is his (and Kyoani's) magnus opus, nobody denied that.
>Music and other sound-related work is of lower priority for him Which is why he is low down on the pecking order.
A good sound track goes a long long way.
Christopher James
I relate heavily to that first scene. Hibikek is their best show since Hyouka.
Angel Garcia
Man, that whole fucking scene. My favourite scenes are still the ones about Chitanda's uncle psychological drama. I wish Takemoto would have worked on Zaregoto with that style.
Josiah Kelly
>zaregoto directed by takemoto I fucking wish. The director Zaregoto got is bottom of the barrel.
