i don't absolutely love haruhi but the stuff before disappearance is still pretty well-made, the actual reason it's probably better it stays dead is that it doesn't sound like anything after disappearance would be even nearly as good of an ending point

Haruhi post-Disappearance is pretty mediocre so probably better it stays dead tbh.

Haruhi post-Disappearance is about as good as Haruhi pre-Disappearance, and KyoAni would make them amazing regardless.

E: ^I would agree that none of them are as good a point to end though, and the author seems to be too lazy to actually finish the series...

To be serious, Kyoani does make quality products, it just so happens that the vast majority of those products do not appeal to me at all.

Kyoani has one of my favorite directors ever and if I don't get to see a silent voice soon I will be vaguely disappointed

its coming to digital stores in 3 days in the uk, which means you can see it five minutes after that happens

i think people just got spoiled by kyoani having a really solid six/seven years of shows (05-12) and then becoming more spotty in quality as they started animating the LNs they publish. out of recent stuff euphonium seems like the only standout on par with those older shows (and plenty of people still write it off, somehow). amagi and maidragon are solid but i feel like for anybody who feels kyoani has declined, they are not treated as exceptions to the rule.

fmp s2 was kind of eh and they made FREAKING MUNTO TV!!!!!! within that timeframe. i think people just forget the average shows kyoani made in the past.

i just hear people like second raid, but you still have 06-12 if it's dropped. even if kanon and munto get discounted, that's two dips in a six year period with 8 other shows. since 2012 they've made about the same number of shows (+1) and you only have 5 that seem particularly well-received (i'm counting free because it's wildly successful, i guess).

also the first third of munto tv is legitimately good despite being 2003 kyoani.

they animated fumoffu and second raid. i guess i was thinking of fumoffu being the one everyone likes and confusing that with second raid though...

second raid was, at the very least, a strong step up compared to the gonzo fmp season 1 and is better then the source material so even if you're not a huge fan i can't really count it as a mark against them

Your standards of seedy seem to be a little much. It just needs a powerwash.

Blame! movie owns, a nice standalone adaption. The movie budget CG is much better than SIdonia was IMO.

I am sad Cibo didn't merge with Sana-kan at the end though, not that there was reason to or a Toha HI to escape into in this version.

I know it has its own thread but I just want to say that this season of Attack on Titan owns and if you avoided it because the first was too up its own butt and horribly paced you should give it a chance. Probably the funniest ~twist~ reveal I've ever seen and also the most overly dramatic food eating since Deathnote.

I dunno, I've been watching it on Toonami and it's still kinda boring.
