I think there's equal amount of value in creating realism via animation, or using it in ways that live-action couldn't possibly replicate.

Just that I dropped it for not really seeming as inspired as a lot of other things KyoAni has put out. Endorph posted:haruhi does next to nothing for me and disappearance is the only part of it i enjoyed but im not gonna deny how influential it was or that it deserves to be remembered And I flat out hate both Eva and Mushishi, and yet I hold those in the same regard. It's not as though I'm incapable of understanding a show did things really well and i just didn't like it, i just think in this case KyoAni should be held to a higher standard because they can clearly do and have done better.

euphonium is the second best thing ever made by human hands and no anime past, present, or future, will ever even compete with it at all. there is no standard by which other anime can compare to it. death to infidels. best is melty blood btw

I thought Euphonium was fantastic. I can understand not liking it if it's simply not your cup of tea, but criticizing, of all possible things, the directing just boggles my mind. I mean I'm a Big Shinbo Fan, but Yamada and Ishihara put Eupho together so drat well, Yamada got so much warmth into those characters . . . What I'm trying to say here is, Nichijou season 2 when?

I agree with your earlier post in that the characters and plot are fairly dull. However, my main source of enjoyment from the show was the animation style and directing and how they were used; with the exceptions of Disappearance and Nichijou, I think that Euphonium has made the best use of Kyoani animation techniques yet.

it's weird to say it's any less inspired than anything kyoani has made when all of the stuff who've ever been interviewed about making it are ridiculously into it and naoko yamada in general is one of the most inspired directors at kyoani, so much so that even her weakest, most awkwardly put together show has some really interesting concepts tying it together that still manage to produce some great episodes in a show i'm not even really a big fan of

Tuxedo Catfish posted:how do you figure 2. Bake came out at exactly the same time as the dreaded Endless Eight season in Summer 2009 which sparked the latter's 'deader than disco' phase. 3. It had a lot of staying power (Shaft's animation style and abstract arts, real fanservice, deep intellectual and non-intellectual themes, etc) compared to Haruhi. 4. Nisemono did not discourage my enthusiasm for the series at all; Second Season might have only because of how I saw it when it came out rather than back to back. I stayed clear of Dissapearence and Endless Eight on the other hand. quote:please don't try to understand grouchio's logic

AnoHito posted:That is a good scene, yes. There's a lot of good things I could easily point out not even really having context for it, and if I was watching along as it aired, I probably would have applauded it. But it's not that special. There's easily like dozens of better scenes in Haruhi. The concert scene in K-On (I should really watch Linda Linda Linda) was probably better too, and scenes like that weren't even the point of K-On. K-on is the best

Struck me as really boring and while K-On was filled with references to music I like and played music I liked I wasn't interested in anything the characters in Euphonium were doing.

Idk if anyone is still watching it, but I was pretty sure nothing would top last week's Akiba's Trip but this week pretty much did it. All the bullying and ignoring of Mayo up to this point was worth it if this was the payoff

I haven't watched any Bang Dream, but decided to check out how the bands perform live since there is a concert for Bushiroad's 10th anniversary at the end of April. They're pretty drat good. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EWmdKhEqFio And some bonus Haruhi since the last page has been all about kyoani. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FMa1qgPKWnU Maybe I'll check out the anime when the game comes out.

It's solid. Starts off pretty slow, but I've really liked the character work in the last few eps and there haven't been any real missteps besides some pacing issues. Pretty nice looking show too.

It's really weird to me that something like Euphonium is considered "not as inspired" as stuff like Chuu2, KnK, or Phantom World. And I'm saying this as an unabashed Kyoani superfan. Like, did I miss a bunch of other technically impressive shows about high school band drama along the way somewhere? Because it seemed like a pretty unique twist on the usual high school setting to me, and definitely a higher bar than a fair number of Kyoani's other shows at the time.

And I really don't think it can be understated just how well the show nails the mental and emotional experience of high school band nerds. There's not a detail in the show that feels wrong to me - all the routines of practices and camps and performances are all incredibly well realized, and the various personality types and complexes and drama that the show evokes all have close parallels in my own experiences. I can't really emphasize enough how much of my teenage self I personally saw in Reina - a distant, socially awkward, technically proficient child whose ideas of self-worth and expression were tied to the music in a multitude of ways, some healthy and others less so. I know a lot of other people who feel similarly about the show echoing very personal memories with a lot of skill and compassion and intelligence. That's why it resonates so strongly with some people, IMO, and why it deserves to be remembered.
