Yes it's a beautiful masterwork of craft and skill, but in what way did the medium help the storytelling? Everything could have been acted out instead and shot live action.
It's useful to know what a work got out of being animated that it wouldn't have in a different medium.
Ethan Perry
Because only 2D lets them add visual gimmicks like that lavishly animated shot of her hair coiling around him (because he feels compelled by her, in case you didn't get it).
More to the point only 2D lets them be cute, without which no-one would care.
Connor Cruz
>it's a question worth asking It shouldn't even cross your mind
Logan Morris
Well I suppose we can find out when the live action movie comes out. Next time you make this thread, use LoGH as your subject, you'll have a whale of a time.
Brandon Davis
I can't imagine the live action even coming close to the anime.
Christian Miller
Well, there are people who don't have autism in the world. For these people body language and facial expressions are a form of communication and are actually very great assets of conveying thoughts and intention that could not be done otherwise.
Any other bright questions OP?
Jordan Clark
Why not?
Nicholas Roberts
CGI dumbass
Jonathan Lopez
>For these people body language and facial expressions are a form of communication and are actually very great assets of conveying thoughts and intention that could not be done otherwise. You mean things that are better done in live action than in anime?
Colton Howard
Live action isn't some kind of default where, unless you're live action, you need to justify it. Art isn't the kind of thing which needs that. Hyouka is animated because the people who made it are animators.
Matthew Morgan
Because only 2D lets them add vizzzzzz
Zachary Reed
It's only as good as the actors are in live action. And Japanese actors are garbage.
Hudson Hall
I don't mean with the implication that one is better than the other, but it's worth asking ehat the show gained from it's medium, and what it lost.
Eli Brown
What I'm saying is there is no gaining or losing between art forms because they are ontologically separate
Aaron Price
>3D everyone knows jap acting is garbage. they're so awkward
Ryder Barnes
The greatest actors of all time are Japanese you cuck.
Mason Kelly
I disagree. They're both film, and each does certain things better than the other. They're easy to compare and contrast.
David Stewart
>cuck Go back.
Joshua Robinson
Because KyoAni wanted to make it.
There's literally no other need for any reason than that. A lot of people's motivations and dreams comes from "I want to do X", and that's basically what you build your life upon. Why would adapting a novel be any different.
Also, their visual storytelling was amazing, those small short cardboard cutouts etc to show the story. Pic related
Samuel Smith
>visual storytelling
Robert Brooks
Sorry, I dont understand?
Isaiah Clark
>Yes it's a beautiful masterwork Stopped reading right there. Not even worth the (You)
Kevin Howard
I'm with the other guy, you're going to have to elaborate.
Josiah Allen
they're pretentious buzzwords
Ryan Hughes
You're kidding me, right?
Visual storytelling is not a comolicated concept and sort of a requirement for a visual medium like anime.
Adrian White
Again with the pretentious buzzwords.
Grayson Ortiz
D you even know what buzzword means because I think you meant obscure there.
Thomas Miller
Yeah, and I certainly didn't mean obscure.
Colton Adams
I don't even know what your point is but you certainly seem retarded
Landon Cooper
I am gonna have to agree with Japanese acting/directing in TV shows is below average as in most countries.
The least we can hope for is them to find a better script writer. Stuff like >muh energy consumption >muh database >muh kininarimasu Will sound even more awkward in live action. They would actually sound like autists.
Jason Jenkins
Bump
Cameron Moore
>>muh energy consumption >>muh database >>muh kininarimasu What's wrong with those?
Luke Kelly
I have autism so I can't handle teenagers saying weird things.
Robert Edwards
Ignore this goober:But I regret to inform you that real people don't talk like this. Then again this board is filled with autists. Shouldn't be surprised if they actually talk like this.
John Butler
pretty much
Jose Wilson
Why do you even watch anime?
Noah Wright
>Why was it animated? Because animation allows the creators to hand craft every frame, make every aspect of the show look the way they want to. Every aspect of the visuals is controlled, which is virtually impossible in live action.
Are we done now?
Jaxon Wright
Why are you in his thread?
Lincoln Collins
Because I like Hyouka.
John Rodriguez
Why do you have shit taste?
Elijah Rogers
Why does anyone have any taste?
Gabriel Morris
>real people don't talk like this What is your point? Real people also aren't purposefully made to fill roles of characters in classical detective stories to comment on the interactivity of fiction.
