Kill la Kill
| I get the want of wanting anime to be mainstream, more people enjoying what you like, but is it really that important? I mean I get all the shows I want right now and have a lot of people to talk about it too, but online and RL. KLK may be "ridiculous", "shitty", or "horrible" to some of you guys but I think it's incredibly enjoyable so who gives a shit. |
NoSurrender1690 said: lolnoits not the fact it to japanese i hate that excuase anime wll never be mainstteam outisde of Japan cuase of lack of Prime time I think anime will never be mainstream outside of Japan for the same reason that American Football will never be mainstream outside of America. It is in the Japanese language. It is culturally Japanese. Anime is Japanese. It's just not something that will be able to become "mainstream" anywhere else. |

| anime is mainly made for japanese audiences, and Kill la Kill is just over the top battle shounen, its animation is wacky and frantic style that only few people likes |

Methinks people need to learn what the word: "Cliche" means before they use it. TallonKarrde23 said: Kill la Kill is a shit anime - and saying it's "on purpose" doesn't make that any less true. It's a great example of why people think anime is bad, because it is objectively bad. Kill la Kill is objectively better than Railgun. God, but it's hard being the official storytelling expert sometimes, but damn it all, someone needs to be the guru and I'm the only man that has the qualifications. |

| I can't understand why people would want anime to be mainstream. It will just attract more haters and the like than we already have in the community. Then again what defines "mainstream". I'd say with millions of people watching anime around the earth it is already pretty popular (therefore mainstream?). Unless something is only maintream when the media or highschool kids talk about it. |

Takuan_Soho said: Reverb_Shock said: Proportions are shit, quality is all over the place, and I feel like I am watching looney toons. But I was never the one to say it had bad animation. My argument was bad characters and plot, which would be off topic.Takuan_Soho said: By all means, lets hear what you and TallonKarrde23 as well the OP think is good animation. Hating is easy. Saying that the plot sucks is easy. So tell us, why does the plot, characters, and comedy of KLK suck. Give us something more than the typical hater "if you don't understand why it sucks then there is no point in telling you" line. That doesn't make the person who says it cool, it just informs us that they are posers. I'd tell you, but I don't think this is the place to discuss it. I think we'd be getting a bit off topic, but I'll just say that the characters are cliche cardboard cutouts and the plot is barely there in the first place. There's no depth at all. I guess if you want to get in a big discussion about it, you could message me or something. First, you do realize that you just did a variation on the "there is no point in telling you" line. Second, no it isn't off topic, the OP said this animation is why anime isn't mainstream in the US, you have supplied a reason why the OP is true, I am asking you to explain your reasons. That is perfectly keeping with the theme of the thread. So again, please explain what is a good animation and why KLK does not qualify. |

TallonKarrde23 said: Negative-Travis said: TallonKarrde23 said: I'm saying it doesn't need to be 30FPS to be enjoyable. If you're really going to let the technical aspects of an anime bother you to the point of not enjoying it, you should probably stop watching anime for awhile.are you both seriously implying it would somehow be HAMPERED by proper and smoother animation? Because it's exactly what you are writing, I just hope you're saying it by mistake. I never once stated the show is bad due to the framerate, I said it's a negative aspect that you're saying is somehow irrelevant. It's not. While it's not "this show is bad because the animation is poor" - the fact of the matter is that "this is a bad aspect of the show". This is a situation where, yes, you could say shitty animation is acceptable to you as long as the rest of the show is good. I'm not disagreeing because, as much as I hate to say this in any context, that's all just opinion. Fine. However you're missing my point - which is that it's an objectively bad aspect of the series that you're defending by saying it 'doesn't matter'. What I'm asking you now is this: are you saying if the show was exactly as it is now BUT with better animation, would you like it LESS? You say it doesn't "need" 30fps to be enjoyable, fine, but wouldn't it benefit - even just a tiny bit - by being such? And hell, in the post above mine you just said low FPS is objectively bad animation, so you even agree with what I'm saying - which is confusing me more. Essentially, you're treating it's faults as not faults at all simply because "they are good enough" and because you like it anyway. I'm not saying the show is bad BECAUSE of the framerate - I'm saying the framerate is bad. If you read back to the earlier posts that lead to this discussion you'll see why it even came up. Someone said they love the 'outlandish animation', I was simply replying to that specific line. They were praising the animation, I was pointing out that the animation is objectively bad. I'm not trying to say the show is bad because of it (though I am implying at the same time that it could benefit from better animation). I do not like the show for a LOT of reasons, the animation is just one of those reasons - and not a high up one nor one I even thought about when originally watching this show (so it's not a reason I dislike it really). The framerate did not take away from my enjoyment of the show, but it is a factually bad aspect of the series. Repeating it again - I was just responding to a post PRAISING the animation, not bringing up the FPS out of nowhere to whine about it. Man, you don't know jack shit about animation. Animation doesn't need to be fluid to be good. I can tell you the animators working on kill la kill have more ability as animators then 90% of animators in the industry right now. The somewhat choppy animation totally fits the style of the show, it looks great and most importantly it's full of life. Like I just said animation isn't about how fluid the characters move, "timing" and "spacing" and "staging" are some of the principles of animation that kill la kill does better then most animes. Let's take fate/zero for example, as it's in you're top 5, you probably believe it has superior animation to KLK, I'd disagree. Characters in F/Z are unfortunately animated with little life or distinct personality. The fight in F/Z are pretty awesome, but KLK gets extra credit in that category as well for being really experimental with it's animation. This is coming from a guy who has been studying animation for the past 2 years at one of the best animation schools in north america. |

DramaEnthusiast said: It's known Anime is not accepted in the West, especially North America, where liking anime will likely get you bullied or harassed by high school jocks. As a result, people interested or taking the genre seriously keep their interests to themselves. I'm going to need to interrupt you here. I feel like you have a very limited view of the world. Or are 13. One of the two. You cannot group the population of an entire continent and you cannot decide the fate of every single person in that continent whom may like anime. When I was in school, nobody I knew of was bullied nor harassed for liking anime. Truth is, nobody gives a shit. It would take an extremely bored/disturbed person to care enough about what you watch on TV to the point of harassing you for it. Now, if some kid once told you "Naruto was stupid, that's just a part of life, not everyone is going to like what you do nor is the world rainbows and unicorns. Some of my peers would give me a weird look for wearing a shirt with a character on it at which point not a single care was given. I never kept my interest to myself, and as a result of that, a majority of my friends have similar interests. I also have friends who do not agree with my interests. The point is respect. If someone gives you crap or disrespects you for liking anime, chances are they'd be doing the same if you didn't. It'd be because of your shoes or your hair or the way you sit on the toilet, whatever. So no, I do not agree that anime is not "accepted" throughout the west, it is accepted as anything else on TV or the internet. Like I said, maybe your young and will realize someday that in reality nobody gives a second of their life to care about what you watch. Especially in the U.S. The far east is another story. In more recent years, there have been animated films (although still niche) that express anime in a more appealing light to American audiences like Wolf Children, and proves it can be ''mature'' or ''non weeaboo-like'' to their eyes. The thing here is you're committing two mistakes. 1. You're comparing apples and oranges. 2. You're grouping everything together in one big clump and expecting it to be homogenous. It's not. Think back to the 90's, and the large commercial boom of animes such as Pokemon and DBZ and the the like. Were those animes in any way "mature"? Not really. Were they a great hit both in the east and west? Yes. Why? Because they were good; they kids liked it, the kids begged mom and dad to buy useless toys from the shows, and the parents thought it was appropriate enough. An anime doesn't have to be a drawn rendition of Hamlet in order to be "appealing". At the same time, certain groups DIDN'T like Pokemon, particularly fundamentalists and the like who thought it had something to do with Darwinian Evolution. There's always going to be somebody that doesn't like something, doesn't particularly have to do with how "mature" it is and what the frame-rate is. Now, here's where your mistake mostly is: anime is not some trademarked catchphrase representing a specific form of storytelling, nor art form, nor genre, nor anything else. All it is, is the Japanese word for animation. Nothing more. Now, to the world outside Japan, its animated shows have come to be grouped as "anime". but anime is like the word movie, or music. How would someone react if I said that "music is not mainstream because Skrillex is shitty and therefore nobody will ever like music"? They're going to tell me that Skrillex is only one artist of the thousands upon thousands of artists who compose music. Same with anime. Just because someone may not like KLK does not mean they will not like ANY anime. Each author, studio, mangaka, whatever has their own style. Just like anything else. You cannot watch KLK and pretend it to be like Wolf Children, because it is not. You cannot watch Wolf Children and pretend it to be like KLK because it is not. they're completely different genres, stories, have a completely different mood, by different studios, in a different scenario, a different target demographic, etc. etc. etc. Kill la Kill however, throws all this out of the water, and is more or less, the ultimate example of why Anime is viewed in disdain in the West, and it does not care whatsoever about it's image or even tries to take itself seriously. It has fan-service at every turn, hilarious character designs that show no restraint, is so Japanese-like over the top bombastically insane, has a ridiculously outlandish plot, and as stated before, never attempts anything at maturity. It practically thrives off it's zany nature. But that's how the show is. It's zany. It's fast paced, its random, its comedic, its smutty, its in your face. That's what makes it different from, say, Grave of the Fireflies. Crude humor, fanservice, crazy plots are not unique to Japan. The U.S. has equally weird shows and movies every single day. Have you flipped through a Netflix menu? Zombies vs Strippers? Sharknado? You think that stuff is any type of masterpiece? No. It's not, but people watch it because you know what, it's a cheap movie. Have you ever watched family guy? Do you think someone in Saudia Arabia or Jordan would appreciate its jokes? Probably not, they're obscene, gross, politically incorrect, etc. But Family Guy is not produced for a Saudi, it's produced for a middle aged American who got home from work and wants to laugh at a satire of his own culture. KLK is not produced for Americans, it's produced for Japanese. Some Japanese may like, and some may not, but the thing is culturally it has a lot of commentary on Japanese society, not American society, and its goal is not to become some sort of animation ambassador to the U.S. nor anywhere else. While I do not mind myself (having given it a 10 off my current impressions), are you disappointed at how Kill la Kill exemplifies why Anime is not accepted as a mainstream art form? It completely sabotages the reputation some other anime have been trying to mold lately. No. Because this one show does not define the whole animation industry of a nation. Whoever judges every single show to come from Japan because they saw KLK or because they saw K-On! or Wolf Children is being close-minded. They are judging a gigantic group of things with one member, there's nothing you can do about that. Anime is as "mainstream" an art form as any other. The other day I saw a YT video about some woman who stick yarn up her vagina and sews things with that same yarn in Australia. She's gotten awards and crap becuase it is the most artistic thing ever. Art is subjective, and to say that any art is mainstream is illogical, I could think my little sister's refrigerator drawing could be art and my neighbor could think its crap. Point of this post: to each their own. |
| I don't really think it has to be here, in the West, for it to be mainstream. I did not read this whole thread but just the TC's but I don't agree that anime isn't popular here because of its maturity and unrealistic character/plot designs. We can look at Disney/Pixar stuff for example and how their stories/characters are just as unrealistic and the stuff are also not really mature but they are really popular here. I think it is just a culture thing where anime is super popular in Japan because it's in their culture while, in the West, we perceive their culture with a different set of lenses. |
 Doesn't this make you hungry? |
| Why are animes not mainstream? Look at you in the mirror. |

| So long as you yourself enjoy it, what does the thoughts of others matter to you? |
| KLK's animation is pretty atrocious. There's no way around that, and it's not just the frame rate. The show is almost nothing but stills and pans, even the fights are mostly stills with shaky cam and speedlines, or animation looped over and over again to pad out the episode. They recycle animation even more than is normal for anime, not just the stock footage during fights but several other things as well. The tweening is blatant and cheap and so is the CG. It's gotten so bad that even the next episode previews look ugly and cheap. They can't even string together 15 seconds of cool footage for an episode preview, let alone an entire episode, let alone a 2 cour show. It has a nice art style and cute showa anime trappings but it's dishonest and biased to say that it doesn't have bad animation. |

| I always felt the biggest reason anime was not mainstream in the US was because it's not American. Might just be me though. |

| This is squarely for the OP. Part of anime's charm is that it is not mainstream. Would it be nice to talk about anime like Game Of Thrones with people at work or on the train ride home? Maybe. Today I heard my coworkers arguing that a pickle is a different vegetable than a cucumber...trying to have a deep meaning conversation about the impact of technology referenced in Serial Experiments Lain, or themes of 1984 in Kill La Kill, with said people would not be my idea of a good time. Places like MAL do make it easier to connect with people on shows we like, dislike and down right hate (naturally our tastes differ that is what makes it fun/interesting). If you want to have a meaningful discussion feel free to hit me up ^_^ Now to go get the OST (My God Sawano is a beast!) |

DramaEnthusiast said: where liking anime will likely get you bullied or harassed by high school jocks. That a tone of bullshit really. If you have the right personality then you can like fucking anime and no one will bully you. It's just because usually it seems many introverts that attract bullies are also into anime. It's not what you like don't like etc, is how you portray yourself. If you are sparkling with confidence and don't take shit from no one then you can like whatever the fuck imaginable and people will think it's cool with you. Although i really don't get why bullies will know whether you like watching anime or not, for them to know it means you are already a little nerdy going around talking about anime to people who aren't into it or having stupid anime things with you. |
