Assumption may be an incorrect thing, but it is possible that the often repeated questions and complaining about Haruhi ("Season Two Where?") type stuff will end....very shortly.
Though it will lead to two things...("Season Three Where?" and "FMP! Season Four Where?")

FMP Fumoffu ep 2, 9 Air ep 2, 5, 8 FMP TSR ep 2, 6, 11 Haruhi 1, 12, ED (Kanon, which I haven't watch yet, and the other outsourced works aside.) Yes, outstanding, aren't they? Particularly, he had such a significant impact on Haruhi that he should be considered as an actual director. Clearly, Haruhi is made of his sense of timing throughout the whole series. And Ishihara should be supervisor. Could it be said that Yamada Naoko suceeded to Yamamoto? Her very insistent directing stye is similar to his one. EDIT: Apparently, her name is Hisako, not Naoko. Congratulations on being director of K-On! I thought she was promising, but... Director? Wow. The above list is the episodes Yamamoto directed. Last edited by thirdlc; 2009-02-06 at 15:05. |

Honestly I don't recall any "real" dancing in Clannad off the top of my head. Not every Kyoto show has one. I haven't watched Kanon, yet from what I've seen I wouldn't have thought there'd be dancing in it. Well at least not to the extent of the Haruhi and Lucky Star dances, if thats what its like.

Well....there are I believe seven days until this Newtype magazine hit the stands...and two months until April. Not all that long to find out is it?
My biggest problem is the lack of Japanese reading skills....thus I can't read what the Newtype cover says...which seems to be the main source of imformation aside from this TV ad.

What about ONE remake? I mean they did do a Kanon one. ONe isn't really "KEY" per say but It deserves a remake none the less ^-^ And before Little Busters we need Tomoyo After and Planetarian!
I'm thinking Kyo-ani is becoming a bigger studio and can produce more than one work at a time by now. With the new Haruhi would it be 1 cour or 2? |

It's definitely a mistake to attribute so much of a series' quality to the studio as opposed to the director, especially when it comes to large heterogeneous studios like Madhouse.
But what's led so many otaku to worship Kyoto Animation is their consistently high level of dedication - even Bones is solid, sure, but I'd argue that their shows in general don't have that obvious "painstakingly-made" feel to them, which is what wins fans over... However I'd also argue that it's unfair to compare Kyoani with other similar or more major studios because it appears that they are run somewhat differently. I haven't watched much of their recent works but when I did I noticed they didn't outsource as much as other studios and had very stable, set teams down to in-betweeners (important) and colourists in the staff rotations for episodes. You see the same names again and again. Not like other comparable studios that bring in all sorts of other people and frequently get people onto episodes on a temporary basis; plus by nature of their size it is hard to enforce quality between teams (unless we're talking about Ghibli or something, which is clearly a different beast) I'm only making huge assumptions here but at least for a good while Kyoani seems to have had a close-knit structure where consistency in quality is highly emphasized. They've had greater control on their output and schedules... Perhaps part of it has to do with being geographically isolated from the center of animation production in Tokyo, where animators can hop over to another place in short notice. So of course, Kyoto Animation has been able to afford this set-up by concentrating on few series and having the good sense/luck to partner with well-marketed shows. But I would bet that this won't last much longer if it hasn't already broken down... It sounds cliche, but fame and wealth and all that can change the dynamics within the studio unless someone knows how to direct that in a positive way. That's what I think, anyway. Personally I'd much rather worship individual animators and directors rather than studios, tyvm

There was a time when directors were and such were praised. That is still the case for some. KyoAni is praised because of overall preformance in multiple fields. They've not yet had a clear flop of an anime, and thus have generated a large following because of their track record.
Haruhi was a hit. There is no question about that. Lucky Star to some looked like it was going to be a major flop/let down in the beginning, but somehow it came up aces by the end. Now Munto (TV) is in the hot seat. People are reserving judgement on it until after they get past the redone OVA material. Only then can it been seen if it is a hit or a miss. KyoAni's Key productions have been rated as beautiful for the most part. Full Metal Panic's sequals were also well animated compared to the original. It doesn't hurt that they two seasons had the two main aspects of the series spit between them (Side Story humor/school arc Fumoffu, and Military/mecha arc The Second Raid). However it is also known that they did not do Full Metal Panic alone, but were part of a group effort. They just get the majority credit for the animation work.

I consider Lucky Star a flop as a concept by the way. Not commercially though. Then again it seemed like it was doing everything possible to infuriate me at every turn and it's not at all the type of "comedy" I find funny or clever. That kind of goes for most Japanese style comedy though. Last edited by Kaioshin Sama; 2009-02-04 at 04:10. |

Well it actually is. The video is real tho, but Kadokawa has messed up with us (please don't start hating on KyoAni, this is all Kadokawa's fault ) “April Haruhi TV Anime” a Rerun The news that the “Haruhi TV Anime” was set to air in April, thought by all to be either the long awaited second series or an almost unbelievably perverse marketing stunt, in fact does turn out to be a carefully worded piece of deception: it refers only to a rerun of the previously aired first season of Haruhi Fans are predictably outraged, though it remains to be seen whether they will finally abandon the series, or will merely grumble and obediently commence purchasing should a new series actually emerge. The dread confirmation emerged after direct enquiries to Kadokawa, which drew official confirmation that it was merely their grandiose way of pulling in the punters to view their repeat airing. Strange that they wouldn’t bother to mention the fact that the new airing was a repeat of the first season in any of their material? Their use of just “TV anime” without mentioning the name of the series now seems retrospectively suspect, and their deliberate efforts to incite speculation about the 2nd season, only to then deceive fans with weaselled wording, is surely nothing more than wilful and reprehensible deception. Is this some disastrous attempt at generating “buzz”, or are their marketing departments entirely staffed by incompetents? Certainly, fans will likely not believe a word they say from here on, and quite sensibly too. Probably most fans will not care anymore after this latest disappointment, but there is some lingering speculation that a back to back broadcast of the first series followed directly by the second is what is planned – this would mean a summer start for the title. It would probably be better for fans just to forget this wretched series ever existed and obsess over something else, however. Sigh... Spoiler for size:
