Sure, probably.

No, though I can see her apprentice surpassing her.

->her apprentice
Fujita or Oogawa?

It's a tie between her and shinbo

But Shinbo hasn't directed anything in 9 years.

Oogawa

...

Shinbo's magnus opus SoulTaker.

I like Yuasa, but I'm not sure who I like more.

Yuasa
Watanabe
Hamasaki
I really like her though, I think Kyoani would benefit by making her their Shinbo.

Shinkai

You mean a faggot who does nothing but force the directors to add in her stylistic choices?

Yes, that.

Kenji Kamiyama & Watanabe

She already inspired people. No need to force.

In an industry where only the best of the best are hired for having practical, sharp skills, how can Directors even exist?

How do you prove you have skill if you have to command a team to prove that?

Can't wait to watch Hibike S2. It seems like Kyoani finally mastered feet in it

Is Yamada Shinkai's waifu?

>In an industry where only the best of the best are hired
There's 50-60 shows being made every 3 months. It's impossible to only hire "the best of the best".

How much reefer do you think Shinbo gets through per month?

Madoka was only 3 years ago.

That was Yukihiro Miyamoto, not Shinbo.

Takemoto and I ain't joking. However why the fuck he accepts so unambitious IPs to adapt.

Takemoto's HakoMari or Norwegian Wood when?

He was never really an ambitious director. Hyouka was the exception.

Takemoto is meh to be honest. He directed the only bad film at Kyoto Animation.
>Yuasa
>Watanabe
Style over content is never a good choice. Rie is in their same school of directing and manages to include good information on screen while having a styled scene. Yuasa doesn't have an inch of subtility.

Noriko Takao.

Mihara is better than Yuasa at this point.

>butthurt the director
>good

What?

She quit KyoAni because Yamada got a chance to go big with Keion and she didn't. She's famously butthurt for it. She and Yamakan aren't that different.

>I really like her though, I think Kyoani would benefit by making her their Shinbo
They already have their Shinbo; Ishihara

But Ishihara actually directs things

Ishihara is prolific though. He has storyboarded 4 episodes this year alone.

I've never heard about that before. Do you have a source on that?

Her work has been far too mixed in terms of quality for me to ever call her "the best" but she's pretty good. Lots of more proven directors out there though.

And one of them being an hour long episode.

/thread.

It was shared quite heavily on the anitwitterverse. I don't have a tweet handy.

How on earth?

>twitter rumours
Sure does sound legit.

You really think so? I haven't seen much from Mihara as a director that especially impressed me.

...

Should've stuck to animating.

I'd have agreed with you many years ago but he disappoints more than impresses these days.

Totally legit

She hasn't directed anything of value, so of course, there are many better directors.

I think no matter which way you spin it K-On! at least needs to be acknowledged.

If someone says Shinkai I will hang them by their toes.

Keion S2 is the best tv anime since Eva.

Keion S2 is the best TV anime since Heidi

Yuasa
Ikuhara
Watanabe
Hosoda
Tsurumaki
Imaishi
Matsumoto
Just off the top of my head.

Keion S2 is the best audiovisual work since Citizen Kane

Of those only Hosoda is worth mentioning and A Silent voice is better than anything Hosoda has done since OP.

I don't get what's your problem with him.

>Of those only Hosoda is worth mentioning
And you expect to be taken seriously?

...

Not him but maybe the fact that he has zero range and his take on Ghibli, his only venture outside of his teenage melodrama confort zone, was one of the worst movies made during this decade.

>Yuasa
Doesn't know how to show something subtly. He loves doing things differently just for the sake of it and his storyboards are meh at best. Just a boring director who's best works are far behind in history.
>Watanabe
Same as Yuasa. Style over substance. His best works are far too long ago.
>Ikuhara
He's THE practician film director of the industry but he hasn't done anything worthwhile in over a decade.
>Imaishi
Is just a meme
>Rie
Is a rookie. Not bad but she overwhelms you with too much info and doesn't know how to transition from scene to the next. Her cuts feel jarring.
>Hosoda
Is a great technical director. His storyboards are great. But he hasn't done anything better than A Silent Voice.

Junichi Satou is still active, lad.

Also Yuasa is certainly worth mentionning. And Watanabe Shinichirou works aren't my thing but I still consider him a good director.

>Junichi Satou
He's really unremarkable.

All dead except Yuasa. Imaishi and Hosoda just continue to disappoint and Matsumoto hasn't really proven herself yet.

Calling Imaishi "just a meme" has to be the most unhelpful and meaningless thing you could say. What does that actually say about his directing ability?

Oonuma

>style over substance
>meme
Try again when you'll be able to discuss on a level above that of a grade schooler.

Isn't even the best director at Silver Link.

His direction style is memetic. He doesn't conform to the Japanese style and neither to the American style. Retarded cuts with fast transitions is a love it or hate it direction style and you can guess of which camp I'm in. He would've been better exploited in America in my opinion.

His gimmicks are great but he is as unambitious as they come. Those pastel colored cuts are great though.

Ikuhara directed a show a year ago, Tsurumaki directed a short and has a work next season, Watanabe is active as ever.
What was the point of this post?

I think the internet has melted your brain.

Not really. Just replace the word meme with any word of your choice and you'll get a non internet phrase.

Really?
The guy who directed Kaleido Star, Aria and Princess Tutu is unremarkable?

Amanchu isn't great but the source material itself is very average.

Admittedly I haven't watch most of his recent works like Phi Brain and Tamayura but I doubt he suddenly became bad at his job.

>aria
thanks for making a manga i like incredibly boring sato

Best since season 1, maybe.

Nah, there were plenty better shows between s1 and 2.

I can't name one.

Regardless how skillful Yamada is, she'll never direct anything significant until she'll stop working on Kyoani schlock and put her hands on some good script (no, not the case for KnK).

Define significant. I think it's an easy argument to say she's already done significant works.

>no significant works
>2 award winning works with Koe no Katachi already guaranteed another win.

You're thinking 2016 Japan Media Arts? A nom is all but guaranteed but I'm not sure she could pull the grand prize.

K-On and Koe no Katachi are pretty significant. Also, she's their only main director to not direct KyoAni schlock.

She already got the nomination officially and the prize is between her movie and Kono Sekai. Your Name is far too uninspiring technically to be seriously considered especially that the Media Arts awards aren't really biased.

Ishidate. Thats why he got to direct KyoAni magnum opus, and not her.

>LN
>magnum pous
Lol

I think Kono Sekai has a better claim due to its content and appropriate timing. Your Name's success can't be denied. Parade de Satie has been doing well at international animation festivals. I would be surprised if she won.

Kyoukai no Kanata..?

Better written then absolutely anything that aired in the past 10 years.

user talking about things he doesn't know anything about.

Oh this stupid thing. Why on earth do you expect this to be good?

Then dont talk.

1/10

It was a serious question.

There isn't any doubt that the Haruhi series, and Disappearance especially, is the best work Kyoani have ever done.
And judging from their recent endeavors, they'll never work on material of that quality again any time soon.

>Oh this stupid thing.
0.5/10

Does not deserve a serious answer. If you were interested, you`d inform yourself about it seeing that part TL and whole synopsis for vol 1 is available.

Bad bait.

>There isn't any doubt that the Haruhi series, and Disappearance especially, is the best work Kyoani have ever done.
What? I think there's quite a bit of doubt.

No Yamakan = No Haruhi

Thing is I'm not interested because it looks bad.

Vol 2 is released December 25 btw, so anime might be there sooner than we expect.

Well, you are retard - what kind of other answer do you expect then, making idiotic judgements based on complete ignorance and lack of info?
