I seriously do not get this thing.

children planting flowers for 12 episodes

I'd watch it

so what

minecraft the anime?

Can't wait to watch this in the fall! Thanks KyoAni!

the 2nd pic from the top is definitely a penis considering that it is actually a black censor bar

That's just.. You'd better be trolling.

I fail to see what any of this has to do with pedophilia.

I raged solely because of the art style

Not EVERYTHING that involves little kids and anime is porn.

>>35702878
Oh how wrong you are, every anime with children is pedo. Like Ghibli movies.

i was pretty confused at first when i saw this but okay

i seriously found this totally fuckign moe.

i'm pretty sure kyoani will make fuck loads of money from now on

Has Kyoani ever produced anything that could be considered pedo.

Seriously.

>Character design

Will they be really using this style in every anime they will make from now on? Fuck, I can just imagine it on Full Metal Panic...

>>35703077
FMP is never getting anything new from Kyoani. It's their worst selling show after Munto and the director has sworn to never do mecha again.

>>35703077
who knows about "every" but i guess it's kind of a signature

You don't understand the point of that short-clip.

Protecting the nature and the innocence of youth and children are the main messages of it.

>>35703077
>Full Metal Panic
>K-On design
You know... dude, this... oddly seems like it could be freaking awesome... in a drugs-induced way

>>35703142
>worst-selling
Why did they do a sequel and a spinoff then?

>>35703161
It's a 30 second advertisement for Kyoani. Just a cute little animation, nothing more.

>>35703161
>Protecting the nature and the innocence of youth and children are the main messages of it.
>planting flowers
>main audience are virgin otakus
>kyoani secretly plans to keep people from having sex
>forever keeping japanese men in a state of youthful ignorance until they die

guess you're right

just noticed that water hose contraption and lol'd a bit

So... what's the actual purpose of this clip then?

>>35703257
Because most of their bestsellers came out afterward?

Kyoani has more money than what they want to do with it seems...

>>35703259

0/10. You are the cancer killing the target audiences' point of view.

WE HAVE SO MUCH MONEY WE'RE JUST GONNA MAKE AN ADVERT FOR NO REAL REASON

>>35703284
>>>35703258

>>35703306
I can only imagine they're trying some sort of rebranding. That ad would have fit better with Studio Ghibli than Kyoto Animation.

Family friendly mainstream shows incoming?

>>35703259
sex is the end of ignorance folks you heard it here

>>35703392
i want to see original kyoani main stream movies in the style and form of ghibli

http://myanimelist.net/anime/8857/Nichijou

This is what KyoAni are making next, and it has guns and violence in it.

>>35703302
So it's worst-selling compared to stuff that came out later, where they had more experience and marketing behind them?

I mean, I don't think it's really fair to compare it.

Still, whatever, I can't really say I have been genuinely disappointed by any of Kyoani's series/movies lately (hell, I even enjoyed Endless Eight even if it was to see the reactions on /a/)

>>35703439
I just want to see them try something original...

that isn't munto and doesn't suck.

>>35703470

>High school setting
>moe characters
>Nothing but cute girls doing cute things

Yeah right it has guns and violence.

>>35703439
I'd argue that, with little modifications here and there, K-ON could easily be a show with mainstream appeal.

I'd love to see them try to do a sitcom/slice of life style show with a mainstream audience in mind from the start.

>>35703470
oh somebody posted the 'card castle' chapter of that the other day. it was kind of funny.

kind of.

someone else said that it was an upcoming kyoani adaptation but i thought they were joking

FMP fanboys: [x] FUCKING TOLD

>>35703470
Nichijou is not their next full show. We only know about an OVA that ships with a manga volume early next year.

>>35703561

>hasn't read it

>>35703619
i full expect K-ON season 3 with Jun, Ui, and Azusa

>>35703679
Not gonna happen. S2 is confirmed for 26 eps.

>>35703566
i think k-on already has pretty significant mainstream appeal taken on its own (hence sales) but we are so adapted to extracting all the moe-otaku-directed trappings of it that we can't see anything else

>>35703679
This is a series based on a manga. And Kakifly said he's considering throwing in the towel with vol. 4, which would allow the anime to go out at episode 26.

>>35703392
Rumor has it that the director and designer for K-ON had to fight a lot of internal arguments in their attempt to minimize the amount of fanservice in the show. Then it turned into a smash hit beyond all expectations. And Ghibli stuff is orders of magnitude more successful than things aimed at otaku.

I'd expect KyoAni to try to turn themselves into the seinen version of Ghibli in the future.

FMP S3 will never happen because its not moe.

And moe sells.

>Supporting Pedophilia for over a decade!

So, what's the problem with that.

>>35703833
Easy now. They have never done anything at the scale of a Ghibli movie, and their one original production flopped horrendously.

>>35703921
okay.

>>35703997
Go back to the ktichten you clumsy american white girl

>>35703921
I know right? Only moeshit sells nowadays. Just look at shit like 2.22 and Unicorn selling shittons.

>>35703965
Because it was shit.

And people forget Ghibli (well, ok Miyazaki) started out doing german fairytales/children's books and manga adaptations (like Lupin)

>>35703833

I dunno, they don't seem to have the auteur talent that some other studios do.

>>35703933
The problem is that it's wrong.

>>35704025
>2.22
>not moe

>>35703833
Why?
Did the guy know that minimizing blatant fanservice would make the girls more pure and lovable thus making it more successful or was it just a whim?

>>35704038
But Kyoani is strongly rooted in otaku culture, the opposite of Ghibli.

>>35704072
I don't think so.
If a guy wants to fuck a child it's not my problem, let him be happy.

>>35704094
The (mostly female) main staff wanted to do a show that appeals to both genders. Fanservice and more sexualized character designs would have prevented that.

They got their way, and it succeeded with both demographics.

>>35704205
>Supporting Pedophilia for over a decade!
is wrong. They never supported it.

>>35704056
that's the main thing. it's not like there's a lack of funding anymore or no technical ability available to them, but there's no 'visionary' around that would allow for an actualized original production. so everything looks like kind of a cynical play at the lowest common denominator, which, while fun to watch and easy to market, isn't going to be great.

it would be the case of bringing just a few of the right people on board, but that's wishful thinking probably

I thought to myself, "this is like those coke commercials back in the day where everyone sings" and appropriately enough, it was just as slick a corporate promotion as you could possibly expect from anything stateside. But hey, I at least know where dreams come true.

>>35703833
>Rumor has it that the director and designer for K-ON had to fight a lot of internal arguments in their attempt to minimize the amount of fanservice in the show.

That would make sense. IIRC the chara designer is a woman. The person who animated the advert in the OP pic is also a woman.

Many of KyoAni's senior animators and designers are women.

Wow, it already looks even more boring and lackin in substance than K-ON.

>>35704304
Well they certainly got publisher support after the success of K-ON with S2 being aired at god knows how many TV stations, selling tons of albums and the like.

They probably just don't want to do an original production after how Munto turned out.

come on kyoto gimme FMP 4 and ill acctually pay for it

>>35704469
Did you expect plot twists in a 30 second ad or something?

>>35704493
>They probably just don't want to do an original production after how Munto turned out.

Then again the concept and execution of Munto was pretty shit.

>>35704333
disney land?

>>35704493
but now they can afford to try again.

>>35704469
Is that even possible?

>>35704304

Thanks for expanding that out. I agree.

I do think they're moving towards something though. They're developing some interesting things with the crew they've got. Indeed, what they do need is that one person to pull it all together for an original project. I've seen no evidence they have this at all.

For a first project, its not like you can just find someone and have them direct. That'd just end up like it is now - them acting as a production crew for someone else's ideas.

I also think they still have issues with going from TV to the big screen, though Disappearance was a step forward. Directing for movies is not like directing for TV.

>>35704025
>2.22 and Unicorn selling shittons.

>Gundam and Evangelion.

NO SHIT ASS HAT!!

>>35704025
I don't think you know what moe means. 2.22 is not moe. Fanservice? Yes. Moe? No.

Thsi was so fucking crazy when I watched it.

>>35704755
Sorry but Moe > Fanservice.

>>35704693
"Only moeshit sells except when stuff is good/popular."

>>35704755
Might wanna check that sarcasm detector of yours.

>>35704228

So if anything, K-ON is an example of reduced fanservice pandering to the otaku demographic, and an example of how to make anime more accessable to the mainstream.

>>35704755
he was definitely being sarcastic, first off, but on the other hand, Mari crawling on the ground looking for her glasses and most of what Asuka and Rei embody are pretty moe. i don't think you know what it means, just how people incorrectly use it.

>>35704755

there's moe

>>35704912
paradoxically

>>35704672
KyoAni have the talent alright, its just bringing about the right concept. KyoAni as a company has been around for almost 20 years. Many of the animation directors and general directors are bigshots that have worked in the industry for almost 20-30 years now.

They are probably just not sure what to do with the runaway success they have all of a sudden had.

Gainax for example, after Evangelion, Gainax stopped making anime for about 4-5 years because they just made too much money and didn't know what to do with it. It got so bad that they got charged with Tax Fraud and the CEO went to prison. It wasn't until about 2001 that they slowly came back and started making anime again.

KyoAni probably won't face the same fate, but big successes can do crazy things to a company, sometimes they become too lax.

>>35704912

Exactly.

Sorry I don't have the charts and graphs to back it up, but:

A poll had been done amongst 1000 people in Japan. Their recommendation is Dragonball Z, UC Gundam, Evangelion, One Piece, and Fullmetal Alchemist.

NOTHING from KyotoAnimu had been mentioned.

so is KyoAni like the richest animation studio?

>>35705011

Yeah. That's impossible if you have any proof.

>>35704912
It is.

Of course, haters think the artstyle/cripple hands are an amplification of otaku pandering despite it being the opposite.

>>35705052

lolno. Not even close. Toei by far.

>>35704755

>I don't think you know what moe means

>doesn't know what it means hisself.

>>35704912

>So if anything, K-ON is an example of reduced fanservice pandering to the otaku demographic

That's stupid.

>>35705052
Ghibli.

>>35705011
so? if someone asked me for recommendations i'd give a lot of shit i wasn't necessarily interested in but i'd think the majority of people would like because my actual tastes are unique to me. just like recommendation charts here. it's just to get people off of their ass about the question

>>35705084
Perhaps the fanbase just adapted to it or evolved along with their media.

If you remember what used to fill this niche back in the 90's then you know what I mean, how it has all changed.
For the better, for the worse. I don't know. Its just big tits vs tiny hands, a matter of taste.

>>35705052
Richest is probably Toei or Sunrise. Selling DVDs doesn't really bring alot of money to a company, its all the surrounding merchandise that does. That said K-On does have a fair amount of merchandise, but you just can't beat the mega merchanise from all those kids shows made by Toei. That includes Dragonball and One Piece.

>>35705137
ghibli doesn't count
they are like a shitty japanese disney and all they do is movies
and they all look the same

>>35705123
Toei animation is just a small branch of the larger group.

They're not exactly known for being well funded.

>>35705149

THERE.

>>35705197
Toei is one of the oldest and largest studios in the industry.

Pretty Cure alone is a larger franchise than all the anime this season combined.
