Shojo-chanCat said: SolviteSekai said: It's shaft. Even Nisekoi sold. Shaft can sell anything. It's Kagerou Project. A series that sold about 1,000,000 LN copies last year. I doesn't matter who adapts this anime, KagePro is a major cash cow franchise. If a studio nobody has heard of adapted this, it would've still sold well. Just fyi, at the moment the bluray rank #200 ish. Good one, but not really successful if compared to the LN. maybe it will change as the story develops |

I bet that there is a lot of non-Vocaloid fans who are confused with Ep 1 and 2. So, I just know that this third episode will give light and raise its rating in a heartbeat~ |

Why underrated? 7.72 means it's considered at this point between "good" and "very good" (closer to the latter actually). And it's only just begun to kick in. How can that be underrated? |

this is sp far from underrated this topic is wrong in every context |

the likely reason for a "low" 7.72 is because the first two episodes are pretty confusing, but that's to set up episode 3 :). 7.72 isn't low at all, but i'm sure this show will end up above that. |

The fanboyism towards SHAFT on MAL continues to be pretty gross. I think one of the reasons I even still hang around this place is because I hope maybe one day I'll discover why this site has such a damn hard on for this studio that they have people saying in threads how they can do no wrong ala circa 2009 Kyoani and then turn around and argue they're still underrated. Really it's the same exact issue I had trying to read through ratings and reviews of their shows during that time. Now to me seeing a SHAFT show being highly rated on this site just tells me that it's a SHAFT show not that there's any particular chance I'll like it or that it's truly good and deserving of praise. The series recommendations for their stuff or supposedly related stuff is almost always way off now too and based on the shallowest and most simplistic of comparisons and beliefs. It's gotten to the point where I can't take anything anyone says about a SHAFT series on MAL remotely seriously most of the time or with more than a grain of salt because there's so much damn fanboyism surrounding them and their works now. I hope I'm not the only one that has been noticing this. |

Most of SHAFT shows get praised for their content. People seem more open to praising SHAFT shows for their content then most shows yeah. Since you're looking at it from on the inside of the hardcore fandom on this site though it probably looks to you like it's all just deserved, but to me it just looks like people pay more attention to and claim to like SHAFT shows more because it's hip and cool. Obviously I'm not going to change your mind though nor are you going to change mine and there's really no point in talking about it like it's going to make a difference. It's still the same damn thing as Kyoani to me, there's just a certain exceptionalism to SHAFT shows in the community these days that leads them to be praised endlessly by the community and for the most meager of achievements. That's how an episode of this show that people feel is more functional than the first two suddenly makes it a great show. There's no in-between phase or "it's improving", it just jumps straight to being outstanding cause it's SHAFT and cause "art". When just the mere act of a show featuring a studios art style is enough to have people swooning over it I have to ask what the point really is. Raikounen said: It's from shaft. Nothing is shit if it's from shaft. Plus when you have quotes like this I think it goes without saying how elements of the community on MAL really think about the studio. Add to that SolviteSekai's "forum heroics" and you've got yourself quite a little community that is best taken with a grain of salt and a knowing laugh about the way things work. Not saying all people that follow their shows and claim to like them are like that, but there's enough that it makes a lot of the discussions surrounding their output groaners. It's just like oh hear's another SHAFT show, time to hear the gospel from the fans again. And you know it's funny that they and Kyoani's studio fanboys always seem to be at each others throats when ultimately it's the same damn behavior and shallow reasoning often being displayed by the worst of their respective hardcore supporters. I don't think there are any other studios that have these very noticeable annoying fan elements to them either cause with most any other show by any other studio not named SHAFT or Kyoani it seems that people truly are watching them and reacting to them for the content itself, not the name on the producers list and how that name dictates it ought to be received. I don't know I just figure I can't be the only one that notices this about SHAFT, Mekaku, the fans etc. |

On a pretty basic level, leveling the camera on characters faces and following them naturally is more generic than using panning and zooming techniques. Idk if you just don't enjoy the ridiculousness of it or what, but that doesn't mean you should completely invalidate its existence. If you don't like Shaft, don't watch shaft. Just don't cry about it when it doesn't influence your life whatsoever. |

So wait let me get this straight, in your book Akiyuki Shinbou is the only director in the industry that uses....what...camera techniques that are actually widely and broadly used by a lot of shows? I don't really understand what point it is you're trying to make about him here. Shinbou clearly favors the quick cut style of directing when it comes to his shows, but IMO he overuses it to the point where it actually becomes distracting from the other content itself and if anything there's more static shots that cut to zoom ins or different angles in shows he directs rather than an effort to actually show the action moving to that new angle or point of via animation compared to what most big name directors demonstrate in their technique and then you get the odd animation flourish every couple of frames like somebodies hair flapping in the wind or their eyeballs twitching and bugging out. Usually this serves no symbolic purpose to the narrative or what is happening in the action and is just there because it's part of his repertoire, which makes it hard to call it exceptionally artistic. An artistic choice for sure, but exceptional and "genius" I suppose is up to the viewer to decide. So yeah I've already said more about Shinbou's style to answer my own question and clarify things for myself than you did in your response. Interesting effort there. |

Do you feel so obsessive that you have to stop ONE of the many directors from making shit the way he wants to make it? When it stops selling he will stop doing it. So? Am I supposed to find him exceptional or great that he has his own particular stylizations? Lots of directors have their own particular noted style that is noticeable their own. Lots of those directors have shown themselves to be more versatile and capable of conveying meaning through symbolism or art direction as well. Satoshi Kon anyone (may he rest in peace)? Truth be told if I found Shinbou's gimmicky, kitsch and spastic direction style to make for quality watching more often than not I'd probably have something positive to say there, but save for Madoka TV (Not so much the movie which was kind of a cluster-fuck) I've always found it to just be distracting, obnoxious and annoying and tends to overtake everything else about a show he directs. Mekaku City Actors is yet another example of this being the case. A good artistic director makes the most of the material he's given and tries to blend it with his style (I think Masaaki Yuasa with this seasons Ping Pong has been a great example of this approach), a hack director just takes what he's given (In some cases already extremely popular with an obsessive fanbase like Kagerou Project or Monogatari Series) and phones it in with a particular repertoire and I think Shinbo has demonstrated once again this season that he fits into that category. I also have to ask for a good reason as to why Shinbo shouldn't be criticized for his IMO rather obvious shortcomings as a director like any other individual. Obviously I can't stop him from making new shows and since SHAFT as a studio pretty much relies totally on him at this point as their sole creative director (to me this speaks volumes about the creative problems at SHAFT that only one solitary voice is given any serious consideration anymore), but I can continue to criticize and try to hope that more people wake up and realize that he's so far from perfect, infallible, genius and well rounded director like so much of the community seems to have been mesmerized into thinking he is. |

I'm sure the active members of the news threads already covered this, but not every Kyo ani and SHAFT show get automatic praise from people, both here or Japan. Recent examples being Tamako Market, Kyoukai no Kanata, Chu2 Ren, Sasami-san@Ganbarana, Mekakucity Actors. SHAFT and Kyoani, just stand out from the crowd. They feel special and distinctive in their works, thus some people get easily attracted to them and consider themselves fans. That along with their sales in Japan, that make them famous.

Well like I said, it's because their works are well known and distinctive that the masses flood to their shows and anticipate them, unlike other studios, were people won't attempt to watch an anime solely because of the studio. |

They feel special and distinctive in their works, thus some people get easily attracted to them and consider themselves fans. That along with their sales in Japan, that make them famous. Blind fans exist in everything not just for studios. I guess that's probably the case, if only they actually did shows I could get into more often than not for the content itself rather than just the art style maybe I'd see more eye to eye with people on them, but they're removing my issues with it's fanbase from the equation here and just based on output alone the vast majority is such a huge turnoff content wise for me. I associate SHAFT with pretentious storytelling and visuals, astonishingly unlikeable and seemingly cynically conceived casts of character (this is the point of contention where I really wonder what the deal is and just what sort of person SHAFT is trying to target as audience), crass commercialism, and I guess overall just pure style over substance as a result of what I've seen out of their recent output. As one of my friends put it they both seem very dedicated to image of their product, a particular aesthetic and a cynical set of ideals, but in the end it ends up coming off as kind of soulless as a result. I think Mekaku City Actors opening episodes are a good example of this on display. Well that's just an assumption for all you know, the person you quoted was simply joking or perhaps exaggerating to express that he is a fan of the studio. Solvite is a troll, I don't believe for a second that he genuinely likes SHAFT and Shinbou, and I generally don't take anything his says seriously, and I doubt his sincerity in everything he types. Well yeah. And this is why I have such a hard time taking what people say about these studios shows seriously and am always wondering whether people really do think the stuff they put out is particularly outstanding or are just jumping on the latest trend. To me SHAFT is trendy right now, not necessarily the most creative studio out there. I'm sure before long it'll stop being the case once SHAFT style stops being trendy or something even more ultra stylized gets labelled as distinctive and artistic and becomes the new popular subculture to champion. My money is on Trigger if anyone. Well like I said, it's because their works are well known and distinctive that the masses flood to their shows and anticipate them, unlike other studios, were people won't attempt to watch an anime solely because of the studio. I can only hope this will change because I truly feel there's a lot more variety and creativity out there from other studios that goes unnoticed simply because peoples attention is always ultra-focused on a what a couple of studios with not a lot of variety and distinction between their respective outputs are doing. |

SolviteSekai said: You don't even know what Kagerou Project is yet you claim the "novels" were better. I do know what it is. All i am saying is that when you compare the animation quality of this to Nisekoi there is a giant difference. I would have thought that they would have put some more effort into the animation that is all. I did state that despite that i enjoyed he first episode. |

Because a lot of fans (including myself) are really disappointed in the adaptations. IMO, the MUSIC VIDEOs themselves have better quality animation than the anime. Which is really really disappointing. The whole flavor and atmosphere of the music videos and the manga and the light novels were completely changed, and most people are upset about this, so they give it low ratings, hence it's rated low overall. |

I think this series was over rated.

Probably yes, just like in Madhouse they abandoned Mahou Sensou for Dia No Ace, Hajime no Ippo: Rising and probably No Game No Life as well. |

Recently, Hanamonogatari (which is supposed to come out this May) has been postponed and now moved on August 16 due to "production issues" You know what this means... |

It is very overrated and was hyped by edgy teens. I'm happy it's flopping. Kyoani is the best studio ever. |

^ That's just your opinion. All of kyoani's shows are masterpieces. Shaft is just a hack. |

KurizenT said: I think this series was over rated. My opinion exactly.... the only thing that saves this anime is the great animation and the ok musics (op/ed). Everything else is just a bunch of random stories that people try to glue together with spit (which is obvious is a fail). After watching all episodes so far, it is my opinion this show was made for the current fanbase that followed the novel, manga, musics and so on. Basically, it's for those that read the "instruction manual" before watching this crappy anime. So yes... this anime is clearly overrated!! |
