SZS is literally a masterpiece. One of the best anime of the modern era.
SHAFT will never achieve the same brilliance again. It was made at that sweet spot where they were still hungry enough and creative enough to make something truly brilliant with the talent they had. Now all that is left is a corpse.
It certainly was the height of the SHAFT stylistic movement.

I want to properly make love to Chiri Kitsu!

2006-2011 Shaft was the best, nowadays they just are just Aniplex bitches and keep milking the Monogatari license
Ayden Garcia
Shame it isn't funny in the slighest though.
Jaxon Foster
>do I fit in yet
Gavin Allen
Pani Poni Dash is better. Better OPs too.
John Taylor
Best SHAFT OP is Maria Holic in terms of stylistic animation I think.
Cooper Garcia
I like how they adapted to Kumeta's style, like using these panning shots for pages when the characters spanned across multiple panels.
Gavin Watson
>tfw Shaft will never adapt another Kumeta's work

Lincoln Bennett
I have to say the clearly did a much better job than PA with Uchouten Kazoku of adapting his designs and still keeping their essence regardless of how dependent they have become on that Watanabe style nowadays.

Aiden Gonzalez
>"3-gatsu no Lion" user what the fuck are you doing.
Cameron Russell
Maria Holic OP is actually ridiculously fucking catchy
Ryder Evans
Bullshit nostalgia post. Shaft were always trash.
Faggots also forget that they also kept milking SZS until nobody cared anymore.
Kayden Ortiz
>milking SZS >they literally apologized to the fans in the last Bangaichi OP for running out of money and not being able to go on
their 00s stuff really does have minimal animation
Austin Robinson
The designs they used for Uchouten Kazoku fit the show very very well though. Kumeta's designs were ok for book covers, but really it's best that they changed it for animation. His designs still had a strong influence in the ones they used, and they turned out great, so it's the best of both worlds.
Oliver Mitchell
how many days to we have left, boyos?
Thomas Sullivan
>make style no substance >anime shitter thinks its literally a masterpiece
Samuel Rogers
I asked the president of Shaft about more SZS at akibafest. He said they want to do it but need fan support. So if you want them to finish adapting everything, let them know.
Juan Barnes
You're in the wrong thread, you meant to post that comment in a Kyoani thread
Mason Robinson
oh user you're so funny and original XD
Julian Watson
I'd cry a little if they adapted the entire mango. I'd also probably shell out the ~$300 bucks for a box set.
Justin Parker
I want to properly tie up Chiri and do lewd things to her.

The Bangaichi version of Ringo Mogire Beam is pretty tough competition
Dominic Torres
I'm more partial to Ringo, not to mention that for Bangaichi they used the full version of the song and it's even more choke full of references and inside jokes
Mason Cooper
watching Akage no Anne makes me appreciate Kafukas character more since she was based off Anne.

SZS is pretty good

Isaac Young
The only talent they have left is Oishi and Takeuchi. Oishi was screwed for half a decade and Takeuchi is underutilized, it's a shame.
William Johnson
I don't see anything wrong with this. Shaft is at its best when it goes for style over substance. The heavy handed approach they started using after 2009 was the cancer that killed the studio.
Henry Cook
That "vector" is not done properly
Lucas Taylor
I like soremachi more to be honest.
Shame it'll never get a second season.
Brayden Moore
I tend to space out while watching it, im still at the second season

Good times, SHAFT used to be so fun.

I could not really get into this show. Somehow it just did not appeal to me.
What's so good about it?
Juan Anderson
they milked like 4 seasons and a bunch of ovas you deluded shaftfag
