>Let's talk about one of the best studio in the industry that constantly wastes potential.

C'mon guys, do something outside of your comfort zone for once.

When is that Azumanga-looking rip off series starting?

Let's talk about it, op

What shall we start with -
- failure to tell a story (k-on)?
- idiotic pretentious attempts at being deep (haruhi)?
- spreading otaku cancer (lucky shit, haruhi, k-on)?

>>43991696
I feel bad enough that im pissed off at a troll. But seriously how would I know, K-ON fags are so obnoxious.

HERP DERP K-ON INVENTED ANIME

So mad. I'm sorry we're not talking about your precious pierrot instead.

>>43991817
Classic example of a troll. Rip into anime that don't suit his taste, but never ever the balls to list down his favorite anime.

And now, being on the defensive, he's gonna list down lain, texhnolyze, Tekkon and Monster as his favorite anime. Just watch.

Shaft is the best

KyoAni has shit tons of female animator.

The only show from kyoani that doesn't has a woman as Chief Animation Director is Haruhi 2009.

THE HAPPIEST PLACE IN JAPAN

>>43992877
lol cute~

>>43992877
That really does look comfortable.

>>43992025
many of key animators in KyoAni are women actually, at least that's what they show in Kanon behind the scenes (also, by then those PowerMacs replaced with more modern ones)
Majority of BG artists are male, usually it's the other way around

>>43991993

>MAC

Oh boy.. here we go.. This just proves /a/ doesn't have proper tastes when they judge someone for having a MAC.

>>43993647
KyoAni is just about only anime studio that relies so heavily on macs (well, Shinkai is a macfag too), though they started to drop them in favor of glorious DELLs around 2006. There's really no point in using Macs for production - shitty overpriced hardware and software restrictions, man...
Anyway, I'm amazed at how they still draw backgrounds on paper by hand, and such. Other studios mainly employ PCs, and rather mediocre at that (Production I.G. used some Celeron workstations in 2007 for digital ink&paint), with small screens. I wonder why they don't invest in some better hardware and bigger screens for improved productivity, considering salaries in Japan.

>>43993700
They still draw on paper by hand probably because they can't afford to give all their animators $2000 wacom tablets.

>>43993700

>(Production I.G. used some Celeron workstations in 2007 for digital ink&paint), with small screens. I

God damn... I should feel ashamed... Working in that kind of box and producing desired output must be one hell of a job.

>>43993764
Well I guess it's power was enough for coloring, though Celeron never was a workstation-class CPU. >>43993746
I think it's because their artists can't be bothered to use computers, and they are skilled enough to do anything by hand. Still, they are missing on a lot of opportunities provided by CG technologies - fast recoloring/relighting of scenes, reuse of assets and such.

>>43993802

You know what speaking of which... I wonder what studio gets big support for these kind of things.

>>43993802
They still color digitally, all the frames are hand drawn and then scanned so that's probably not too big an issue.

Btw how do you know so much about what type of equipment studios use? Just curious.

>>43991811
>a TV anime adaptation of Kyoto Animation’s 「Nichijou」 series will begin broadcast April 2011. A reminder that the “Episode 0″ OAD will be bundled with the limited edition 6th manga volume from author Arawi Keiichi — scheduled for March 2011

>>43993837
Just watch various behind the scenes, also quite recent article about Production I.G. here - http://www.dannychoo.com/post/en/25927/How+Anime+is+Made.html

>>43993887

sauce please I'm already confused as fuck with regards to Nichijou having a series or not.

>>43993912
They announced that Nichijou will be made into a series last week.

>>43994025
looks like azumanga X ichigo mashimaro

>>43993802
>fast recoloring/relighting of scenes

KyoAni has the photography department to to those job digitally if they want.

>>43994044
It's kinda close to those in feel. The jokes are really absurd, think along the lines of Cromartie High.

>>43993830
>I wonder what studio gets big support for these kind of things
If you're asking what Studio puts a heavy focus on computer based work, that definitely sounds like Shaft's specialty. But I may have misinterpreted your question...

>>43993904

>He also said that many foreigners who start out with this job tend not to last long.

>Stick with it and it will be worth it in the long run - does not matter whether you are Japanese or not.

>does not matter whether you are Japanese or not.

>>43994059
What I meant, with traditional painting you have to draw separate instance of scene for different lighting conditions (morning \ night etc), aside from being labor-intensive this leads to various artefacts in crossfade scenes (there are plenty examples in Haruhi). With digital workflow, you drow light and shapes separately, thus save a lot of time and eliminate any errors.
>>43994133
Studio Rikka and Shinkai both rely on inventive techniques to compensate for their relatively low budgets.

Holy shit.

I made this thread for lulz and now it got a lot of replies and a serious discussion about the production process of an anime.

>>43994185
Basically it just means you'll be drawing IB or backgrounds for less-than-japanese-person salary for several years, until you get fed up and go back to USA. There were a lot of gaijin employees in Production I.G. for a long time. It's not that glamorous to draw some shit all day long.

>>43994185
>He also said that many foreigners who start out with this job tend not to last long.

I remembered there's a gaikin animator who worked on GITS said that working as an animator makes you hate anime.

>>43994133

Well that was part of my intended question. Though a better way to put my question is which studio has better support for their staff like for example tools which can improve the productivity.

Ah whatever I'm also starting to get confused at the vagueness of my question.

>>43994187
I didn't know Studio Rikka only did two OVAs before Eve no Jikan. How could they make something that visually impressive at that poimt? Wow.

>>43994237

Sometimes jobs can make you feel that way. The best thing you can do is to kill that thought immediately with enthusiasm.

If not.. You're about to fucked really hard in the long run.

Also interested if you can give the name for trivial purposes.

>>43994308
Studio Rikka is basically one man, Yasuhiro Yoshiura. And he's pretty good.
>>43994307
I think equipment and workplace arrangement is pretty consistent across the industry, most of conventions still linger from pre-digital era. Smaller studios like Makoto Shinkai's can afford better gear and working conditions. He uses Mac Pro with 30" Apple HD screen, for instance.

>>43994308
Many animation studios are around for YEARS before they ever start doing their own productions. If you watch the credits of things, you'll see KyoAni's name on all sorts of shows well back into the 80's. Rikka was in the business for like, 8 years, before they did Eve no Jikan.

>>43994380
Unbelievable. How does he do it? Are there making ofs? (I have seen his animes)

>>43994416
I've only seen some Japanese magazine with vague description of Eve no Jikan workflow, but well, he just uses his hands and brain like any other human. His workflow is rather different from "classical" anime approach though, considering that he works with small-scale team. But in essence, it's the same - you create a story, design characters, make storyboards and layout etc...

>>43994553
Haven't read the thread, have you?

>>43994480
I worked in production studio specializing on producing 3d assets for games and such, and my comment will be that it's only worth working there while you learn something new. If you are just being fed routine\repetitive tasks - you better invest your time elsewhere. Anime studio is not that different, every production structure has certain roles assigned to different members. If you want to do something "creative", but the studio needs you to do IB - you will do IB, whether you like it or not. On a brigther note, though, some anime directors started as background artists or lowly animators, so it's within the realm of possibility.

>>43994380
>I think equipment and workplace arrangement is pretty consistent across the industry, most of conventions still linger from pre-digital era. Smaller studios like Makoto Shinkai's can afford better gear and working conditions. He uses Mac Pro with 30" Apple HD screen, for instance.

I see... but I'm going a bit off topic.

Recently I just watched the bonus materials in WALL-E which contains history and information of how 3D Animation and Pixar came to be.

It just amazes me that such R&D was given to pave the way. Also it mentioned that little subject about 2D animation in the west not being that big.

Personally I'm so glad Japan is holding on to it's 2d animation traditions. Hopefully one day.. One can make a big hit that makes a considerable impact on the anime industry no longer making it a niche(which in IMO is). It's still pretty foreign for most people.

.>>43994401

I guess this isn't surprising as how PIXAR started out with doing shorts and other stuff then moving on to commercials for products, then finally moving on to some special effects in some movies, and finally nailing a full feature length movie.

>will reading this thread reduce my hatred for k-oncer?

>>43994308
Eve no Jikan isn't visually impressive, not in terms of animation fluidity anyway. The fact that it's always on model and has a decent art style covers for the fact that there's not much budget.

Though, you could say it's visually impressive for being an independent work. I've seen stuff in Flash or cheap 3D that looks absolutely terrible and had more people working on it.

>>43994659
Actually watching the show and not just mindlessly spouting uninformed shit might. But whatever, man.

Hate the fanbase as much as you want, but Kyoto Animation puts a great deal of effort into their animation. And it shows.

I don't like K-ON! at all, but what I saw of it, it was put together better than a vast majority of shows airing at the same time.

>>43994671
Animation fluidity is on par with the series of larger studios. And their background modelling is some of the best.

>>43995343
>Waiting patiently for the bankrupt.
If Studio Deen can stay in buisness, KyoAni isn't going anywhere.
Doing Adaptations is financially safer because you get paid regardless of failure. If you make an original-show and fail, you take the losses alone. That's why Gonzo went down the tubes.

>>43995250
Here, a series of tweets from raito that translates speeches given by KyoAni employees at Kyoto CMEX 2010.

Apparently Hideaki Hatta's speech at Kyoto CMEX was quite interesting. His theory why KyoAni's shows sell isn't too far-fetched I guess.

KyoAni sure has some kind of enthusiasm for its work you hardly find in late night anime these days.

Hatta reportedly emphasized how they make sure to create a favorable environment for work at KyoAni.

You may know that in contrast to the studios in Tokyo which work with many freelancers, KyoAni's staff consists of permanent employees.

Hatta said they had fixed working hours and they tried to avoid overnight work as much as possible, of course overtime work got paid.

In other words, the animators' payment isn't tied to the output / number of frames/cuts created.

KyoAni's number of employees increased from 129 in April 2010 to 160 now. Current work: Nichijou #0 (postponed to March) & K-ON! movie

Besides KyoAni's company president Hatta, director Yamada (K-ON!) made also an appearance at Kyoto CMEX.

She reportedly said that they put much importance on depicting the characters in a way they feel alive and life-like.

One of the reasons for her appointment as K-ON!s director was the fact that her female high school student days had been not so long ago.

First K-ON! OP should make an impression of being amateur-ish (as if the girls made it on their own). ED is a wild idea of their pro debut.

Yamada was apparently quite Yui-like in her appearance with a fashion sense resembling the K-ON EDs (of which she designed the clothes).

Director Yamada also stressed that there's a difference between anime- and manga-like expression. She felt that former had decreased.

Her explanation reminds me of what Osamu Kobayashi once said, how a too manga-like approach in anime limits ways of expression.

>>43995376
>Torrents on nyaa always include only movie, without extras

Yeah.

I hope someone will upload the torrent the extras from Haruhi movie because I don't want to download the 20GB multipart-rar files from the Chinese site and I can't use SHARE or perfect dark.

But that's not SHAFT.

>>43995484
I think their production quality is superb. Re-watching Haruhi in HD (well, shitty upscale) now, and the quality is already movie-like. They don't cut corners, they do the best they can and it proves to be a viable strategy. I think KyoAni sales are 10x industry average.

>>43995484

What great people. How can people say this is the cancer killing anime. At least they put love into their moe shows.

>>43995392
It will happen.

It might not be today, or tomorrow.

But eventually the day will come when justice prevails.

>>43995545

Just shut up.

Well, now you know why KyoAni is considered the fan favorite studio in Japan.

>>43995545
Keep waiting. They've been around since the 70s. And their output has been increasing the last few years, not decreasing.

I'm surprised that BeeTrain still exists.

>>43995545

Pretty much everything is bound by that. But what's important is even if that happens they have significantly left a mark in the history of the industry. Not great or amazing but significant.

>>43995558
>>43995596
Oh, I'll wait for it. I'll wait.

>>43995484
I remember Tatsuya Ishihara (Kanon director) talking about how in anime animator acts as both a cameraman and actor (in a sense), and that's what they are trying to prevent in their workflow. This was really professional of him. Although he admitted he is pretty old-school and don't understand much about computers and 3dcg.

So KyoAni is like the Valve of anime? Cool.

>43995535

This is why I'm interested in seeing what they do with the K-ON movie on a technical level. Disappearance was a huge step up for them, but K-ON!! was already damn near that level of production values. It'll be interesting to see how they top themselves.

Whoa, hidden posts: 10. Is some butthurt fag spamming with images?

>>43995635
At worst, DEEN will be reduced to inbetween work for other studios. Keep dreaming.

>>43995668
There's only one thing to do with the K-ON! movie in my mind. Full animation. For two hours. I would watch the shit out of that.

And I dropped the show in the first season.

>>43995635
You are amazingly butthurt, talking about 'justice' when their only fault is producing anime you don't like. Kids these days.

Here's some moe Mio for you.

>>43995650
Yeah they're just a small studio that produces high quality work, and have fun while doing it.

Some of the behind the scenes videos show them goofing off a ton and it's hilarious.

pic related, it's the director of the Haruhi movie

>>43995668
Yeah, K-On!! was already sakuga-fest, I'd guess they will do even more smooth animation and maybe some 3d sequences

>>43995639

> Although he admitted he is pretty old-school and don't understand much about computers and 3dcg.

Which is funny because he's one of the best directors of 3dcg and cinematography there is today.

>>43995639
Referring to the Kanon making of videos right? Those were really interesting to watch. And hearing Ishihara talk about the Kanon girls and how he keeps up with the minute details like Ayu being left-handed and such, I wouldn't be surprised if he was a big fan of Key games.

>>43995767
Yeah, those. I remember the left-handed part as well.
I think he's a big fan of his work. Not sure if he actually played Kanon, though.

>>43991993

That must be one hell of an old photo, those old PowerMac towers have been obsolete for the better part of a decade now.

>>43995786
It was taken in 2006.

But Tatsuya Ishihra does love his CG cutscenes. Evident on some of the last parts of K-ON!! the one where they were running through the hall.

>>43995786
It's from 2005-2006 when they were making Haruhi.

And those are all colorists if I'm not mistaken, probably don't need state of the art equipment for what they do.

>moe shows

Stop that.

But it's just really funny though, how out of all these so-called "moe shows" KyoAni gets an inordinate amount of hate, despite the fact they put more work into their shows than anyone else. Nobody hates on studio X who does 5 mediocre products a year. Nope. They focus their efforts on the studio doing a couple of high quality products a year. It's ridiculous.

It's like KyoAni gets attacked from those haters who will attack anything with cute girls in them, as well as the fans of similar shows jealous of their success. It's really unfair how much they're underappreciated.

>one hell of an old photo

>>43995829
just ignore retards

>>43995829
But K-On is still shit. We agree on that, right? They just polished a shitty premise. So they're talented, just can't salvage a broken project.

>>43995849
Somehow, this pic reminds me of Animation Runner Kuromi.

>>43995821
It's a pretty old quote, back when he was directing Kanon would be around 2006.

Pretty amazing how much KyoAni has grown as a studio in just 5 years.

>>43995709

>For two hours. I would watch the shit out of that.

I'd watch the shit out of that as well but that is but a distant dream.

>>43995736

>3d sequences

Well I just hope they don't go overboard with it. I'd love if it they kept the aspects of the original series which didn't rely much on 3d sequences with regards to performances.

But yea... It would be quite the challenge to achieve a somewhat noticeable or over the top improvement with comparison to the series.

>>43995872

It'd be a lot easier if it weren't for the fact that said retards have been able to assert their will and turn KyoAni into a bad guy in the eyes of too many (more retards) over the last few years.

>>43995897

.
Also k-on doesn't have a plot.
But yes it has a great animation.
I hate lucky star and K-on's character designs.

>they have significantly left a mark in the history of the industry

by being cancer.

>>43995934
SS2 has more 3d because Ishihara is more involved in SS2 that SS1, I guess.
(He's directing haruhi 2009 and haruhi movie during the production of SS1)

Also, he was credited as "Adviser" in SS2.

I liked KyoAni before Haruhi. Not so much anymore.

>>43995950

Listen nobody fuckin cares YotsubaC. Trolls will troll and if you go on being an idiot and respond to it then it can't be helped.

Rest will be history.

Polite sage.

>>43996003
>am I cool like the faggots on youtube that spout fake and gay on everything yet?

>>43996003

I'd like to see you actually explain why.

Not that I don't think you're just an idiot who doesn't actually have solid basis for that statement and are just trolling.

>>43996004

Well that's a possibility but then again they've gone all out on the budget for S2.

IMO I still found that K-ON! was just filler show for KyoAni to abridge the gap between Haruhi S2.

But in any case in S1 Ishihara was listed as an adviser as well.

http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/encyclopedia/anime.php?id=10562

What do you guys think about the news about Lucky Star?

>>43996040
at one time they had a couple of good shows. but then they realized much more money could be made by appealing to the lowest common denominator...moefags. now they are pure shit.
only thing worse then kyoani are kyoani fags.
when they come here they spam this shit. not content with the k-oncer general thread they feel the need to shove their mindless fanbot-ism in everyone's face.

>>43996113
>IMO I still found that K-ON! was just filler show for KyoAni to abridge the gap between Haruhi S2.
Agreed

>But in any case in S1 Ishihara was listed as an adviser as well.
Oh, how did I miss that.
My bad.

>>43996113
First season of K-ON was mostly used to train their young animators right? Thought I saw someone mention that.

>>43996135
Your attempt to pass personal opinions (retarded as they are) and a barrage of adhominems as a valid reason proves you wrong. Not to mention the irony of all that.

>>43996210
Not sure about that but I think Yamada's directing improved about in SS2.

>>43996125

Pretty early to judge. Then again there's an upcoming Haruhi related surprise on Oct 31st 2011 IIRC.

Anyway posting this for anyone interested.

http://aninomiyako.wordpress.com/2010/09/04/k-on-key-animation-books/

They have some staff which worked under Akira. Sharing those knowledge with their younger staff would be quite the helpful tip.

Pretty much for those interested in animation stuff check out this blog. Pretty informative.

>>43996135

>at one time they had a couple of good shows.
And now they have several good shows.

>but then they realized much more money could be made by appealing to the lowest common denominator...moefags. now they are pure shit.
Your use of "moefags" invalidates your posts even further. They don't appeal to any less of a demographic than they always have.

>when they come here they spam this shit. not content with the k-oncer general thread they feel the need to shove their mindless fanbot-ism in everyone's face.
Nobody shoves anything into anyone's face except mindless sheep such as yourself who feel the need to make it known you hate them because you've been told that you're supposed to by trolls and you're butthurt they make things popular than your favorite show.

Yes, as I thought, you don't have any basis for what you said. It's all fallacious bullshit that didn't even answer my point.

>>43996113

>IMO I still found that K-ON! was just filler show for KyoAni to abridge the gap between Haruhi S2.

It's not like KyoAni could have known K-ON was going to blow up as big as it did. It wasn't like their other adaptations which were already popular before KyoAni touched them. Though it's not like K-ON is something they didn't put as much, even more effort into what they had done before.

>>43996315
>They have some staff which worked under Akira.

Talking about Kigami right? That's pretty much the biggest animator they have at KyoAni, which is crazy when you think about it. A studio that's becoming more and more well known for their sakuga animation and most people couldn't even name 5 of their key animators.

>>43996135
You already lost your debate.

TL;DR:
>KyoAni employee 1: "Lolol we must do smething"
>KyoAni employee 2: "Let's animate K-ON!"
>KyoAni employee 3: "Sounds like a good idea!"
>KyoAni employee 1: "It'll probably turn out shit wwww"
>KyoAni employee 2: "wwww"
>KyoAni employee 1+2+3: "wwwwwwww"
>Years later
>KyoAni employee 1: "Comrades.. We must milk this cow while it's hot!"
>KyoAni employee 2+3: "LET'S DO OUR BEST!"
KyoAni is a brilliant studio and one of my favorites (I'd even say they're my top fav).
I can't wait what they're going to do with Haruhi, LS and K-ON.

>>43996313

>Not sure about that but I think Yamada's directing improved about in SS2.

It did.

Like one thing about season 1 is that it was was all about the comedy until Azusa came in in which case it started adding a little more drama. The drama could have been handled better in some areas. With season 2 though there was more drama and it and light hearted fun of the show coexisted pretty much perfectly. It was really well done.

>>43996395

effort wise we could say that they give it their best. But then again you'd be working with budget constraints and not enough time. You could really see how rushed the series is. Also during that time in S1 everything was still pretty clunky scene transition at times. Also this may be a possibility >>43996210

You could just see it when you make a jump between S2 to S1.

The flagship at that time was Haruhi no doubt. So funds probably were split between the two.

I'd say some improvements they made with S2 to S1 but I just said that a couple hours ago in the K-ON general thread since it had a brief discussion about animation stuff.

>>43996421

Yes I recently learned about this through here. I'm not much of a Junkie with names since I pretty much don't work well with it.

But works are notable once they leave an impression. And that's the best thing I can reference someone for it.

A-1 pictures is a better studio than Kyoto animation ever will be even with that shitty recent show with no budget

I feel next season will confirm this
