I miss when these two ruled over /a/
>>269226934We loved Shaft's quints movie specials Kyoto is burned down
>Shaft back with new Monogatari and its good>Kyoani making more Hibike and it's mediocre, not even considering they're not going back to stuff like Haruhi that was popular in the past
Shaft is airing new Monogatari episodes right now and KyoAni just capped off one of their best anime of all time.The only difference is people need to have watched both studios respective longest series so newfags don't give a shit.
It still blows my mind how kyoanus' low quality (in both storytelling and visuals) adaptations were no only popular, but considered the highest of quality by the 12 year olds who watched 'em.
>>269226934Kyoani is so fascinating to meI don't think another animation studio has played it so safe in terms of what projects to adapt to anime for so many years.I'm not shitting them, they're still one of my favorite studios but I'd love to see them do an original project or adapt an ambitious work.
>>269227491The only good thing Kyoani ever did was haruhi, everything else ranges from mid to shit
Some day the sun will shine again
>>269226934
>>269228220Those safe decisions are what lets them keep their level of quality and pace without going bankrupt, especially after the fire.
>>269226934why doesn't kyoani make romcoms anymore?
>>269226934>lose yamada >never make a good anime againGrim
>>269228220Violet Evergarden is one of the most ambitious projects out thereUnless you think a literal who story, from a literal who author, was a safe bet to turn into the longest, most difficult and most expensive series they've ever madeChances are you will not see something of that caliber in decadesDo you people even think before you start spewing nonsense
>>269227813>visualsIronic for you to say that when Shaft is the studio notorious for being plagued with cutting corners, poor animation, and off-model art.
>>269231078Shaft never had a cult of mentally ill tripfags claiming their shows featured the greatest visuals the medium of animation has ever known.
