Sangatsu no Lion - Why is this show trying so hard to be artsy?

Everything is on the nose. It's like the production wants each shot to be the deepest thing in the world. Even silly things get an embellished treatment. The manga is a lot more subtle.

It's just Shaft's brand.

It's a Shaft show. Don't expect too much out of them.

SHAFT

I made all these posts, and nobody else is allowed to post in my thread

It's typical Shaft. They don't know the meaning of subtlety.

people who sincerely use the word "artsy" always have retarded ideas and opinions

FIND THE FANBOY

Artsy, pretentious, forced. All mean the same thing: artificial.

see
then delete your posts from my thread

Shaft was always a arthouse wannabe

You are not me, remove your post from my thread or face my wrath

I love you, user.

why? I don't understand why people are so worked up with it being SHAFT. In fact it's apparent that only those who've read muh manga are dissing the show for not adhering to the original material. Shouldn't we let an anime stand on its own or are you really so keen to label each source as superior and vice versa?

plus it's not as if the emotions were lost from this adaptation and I actually feel like it's pretty great in animation

/literally kills you for posting in my thread without permission

who died and made you mod?

I didn't read the manga but I think there is too much ""style"" in the anime. This kind of overshadows the content.

sure, isn't the ""style"" in itself in service of the content? e.g Koudo's profile shot in ep 5 where he's shown watching the other attendees is something that you'd expect from shaft, sure, it's stylish as fuck and could've worked discreetly but I think Shaft still did a great job at conveying Koudo's menace toward the other mourners

Daily reminder that Shaft is for modern """"""art""""" fags; the kind of hipster types who literally think menstrual blood smeared on a canvas or crucifixes floating in urine are superior to the Mona Lisa or Birth of Venus.

...

why are so many Sup Forums posters ignorant of art and borderline anti-intellectual?

because u got trolled hard

Because they are Sup Forums posters

Have SHAFT ran out of source material for that pretentious monogatari series by now? Guess they can always milk Madoka a bit more before they go the way of Gainax.

>isn't the ""style"" in itself in service of the content
The issue is a lot of the time it isn't, like characters are having a normal conversation and there is a completely pointless shaft style close-up that only ruins the scene.

I can't take any of it seriously with those stupid mouths.

Now this is the shitposting Sup Forums I remember. More people need to experience this. Bump.

kyto animtion have no games XD

THIS
Casual things are treated with a lot of aesthetic adornment.

didnt this dude get raped or something by his mom?
i don't really remember, what happened again?

Nah, and that was his step-sister; he was only semi-raped.

I don't care about plot. I literaly watch it for pictures because they look nice.

>semi-raped
so it was just the tip, then?

ITT: KyoAni shitposters that have never watched other Umino series nor have they bothered to read the manga.

>artificial
Hahaha, what the fuck. Pray tell me. What sort of artistic style would be "natural"?

Because most of Sup Forums is autistic or even worse, STEM fags.

...

the mouth style is fine in the manga, but the animation of the characters speaking is creepy

Yeah
In the manga right know he proposed to himari, but he really is still in love with his step sister, which wants to fuck a 20 years older man.
Incest is gonna be endgame and himarifags tears will be delicious

>tfw this is actually true

I love how secondaries just shit on the true love interest of the mc and when they start realizing this they get platinum mad
Talking about her, when is she gonna visit him? Next episode or in episode 7?

>Hahaha, what the fuck. Pray tell me. What sort of artistic style would be "natural"?
Content and form must be in harmony, man. Otherwise it will become artificial, forced, fake, whatever.

Okay, so how would you handle 3gatsu? What artistic stuff would you do differently?

I wanted to like this show but it just doesn't feel right for me.
Characters are trying too hard, especially the MC. I just don't give a fuck of his "issues"

Well, I only watched three episodes, and the last one was kinda good, but it'not something I will wake up on night to watch like Rakugo was.

Also, the MC could be playing shogi or tap-dancing it would change literally nothing, holy shit.

Those fucking mouths man

I would cut off the embellishments and quirks. A moderate approach would fit better, I guess. The story seems to be good by itself.

Just because the art style doesn't conform to the norm of "artsy" anime with "artsy" content (I'm guessing allegorical or more abstract themes), it doesn't mean it's artificial or shit.

What embellishments? If you mean something like OP, then you should know it's already in the manga.

The slow motion, for example. There is a lot of slow motion. And in times when this is totally unnecessary.
