Yamada is literally saving Kyoani. Everything good made in the last 4 years featured her as the main director. Tamako Love Story, Hibike, Koe no Katachi, the latter of which is going to end up as their 2nd highest grossing film.
Free? Bad Kyoukai no Kanata? Bad Phantom World? Bad Chuunibyou? Bad Amagi? Bad
Not to mention she directed K-On, their most successful franchise. Aside from those Hyouka, Nichijou and Disappearance are also good but everything else the studio made ranges from mediocre to bad.
Also Love Story earned less money than chunni garbage recap movie, fuck this gay Earth
Levi Rogers
>Chuunibyou? Bad >Amagi? Bad Kill urself my lad

It was an awful romance movie and a sequel to an awful anime, so no wonder.

Violet Evergarden will be directed by Yamada.
Matthew Reyes

Liam Watson
No it won't. Ishidate is directing it.
Jayden Evans
She is credited as series production director.
Aiden Cooper
You should be able to recognize Yamada's work by this point. And she's credited as a director too.
William Flores
Read the credits for the series you blithering cretin. Text to look for:
>シリーズ演出 >山田尚子
Alternatively, you can check aggregator sites like ANN or AniDB.
John Powell
>He pretends he didn't like it
Juan Clark
She couldn't even beat Shinkai with the KyoAni brand name. She sucks.
Ryan Powell
KyoAni doesn't have a "brand name" except among otaku and weebs. Shinkai has been heralded as the next Miyazaki since he made Beyond the Clouds.
Jose Hughes
Kyoani is a obscure, small, independent studio. They can't beat Shinkai but that's okay.
Leo Price
Not him but >Shinkai has been heralded as the next Miyazaki No, that's Hosoda. Shinkai's movies received mixed reactions aside from 5cm/second until Kimi no Na wa, probably because he kept rehashing the same old bittersweet ending and plain character designs.
Brayden Murphy

Evan Nelson
Free was directed by her.
Carson Bell

Coincidence? I think not
Nicholas Brown
>No, that's Hosoda.
You're a newfag. Both have been named in Japanese press as "the next Mityazaki" at one point or other in their careers. It has been a marketing ploy in both cases. My point was that Shinkai is a lot more mainstream than KyoAni, and always has been.
Daniel Jones
She seems really shallow and answered a lot of questions with "It looked cool" and stroking Ishihara's ego.
Lucas Lee
Kyoani aside she's likely the best director right now, making her something akin to the saviour of anime in general.
What makes you think that? The PV didn't seem like it'd be anything more than Kyoukai no Kanata tier (aka bad).
Kayden Long
You're so new and full of shit it hurts. Shinkai wasn't 'mainstream' until Kimi, his last movie did worse than the Chunibyo recap.
Samuel Mitchell
She comes across as non-critical/non-analytical. Very few directors are. In fact, very few artists are analytical. It's all about "feeling" and intuition.
Takahata Isao and Mamoru Oshii are the exceptions that prove the rule.
Oliver Walker
What's been translated of the source material is good, the prose is above any of their LNs and LNs in general, plus the CM looks promising and it has a unique setting with an adult protagonist.
Jonathan Diaz
I guess I don't equate "well at least it's not high school girls" with good. What's the setting, exactly? Some kind of anachronistic Victorian thing?
Dylan Hall
>Shinkai wasn't 'mainstream' until Kimi You meant to say, perhaps, that he wasn't commercially successful. Because he has been, like I already pointed out, a mainstream (i.e. non-otaku) director since Beyond the Clouds. One of The disc extras have an interview with one of the actors who points out how Shinkai is, surprisingly, successful with people who don't normally watch anime. His films have made the rounds in various film festivals.
Henry Nelson
I'm looking forward to KyoAni's first deepfag anime
Oliver Bell
Brace yourself for disappointment
Parker Murphy
>yamada is the new takahata >ishidate is the new kon
Cooper Moore
You have no idea what you're talking about. Here you go, a 2007 article in mainstream press:
>But Shinkai, who has been hailed as the “next Miyazaki” since the 2002 release of “Hoshi no Koe (Voices of a Distant Star)” — an awarding-winning, best-selling sci-fi short he created entirely himself on a Mac — is an extraordinary talent.
If you can read moon there are even older articles in mainstream talking about Shinkai as Miyazaki's successor.
Jacob Johnson
Please stop
Julian Diaz
Interesting. Would you include Ryosuke Takahashi in the short list of analytical directors?
Jeremiah White
I haven't watched/read any interview with him, so I don't know. His anime being full of grit and realism need not be due to an analytical approach to narrative building. Maybe he makes those kind of stories because he has a thing for those kind of stories.
The reason why I say Oshii or Takahata are analytical is not because of what kinds of stories they create, but because they can explain in technical detail why they make certain creative choices. They have a reason for almost every thing they do beyond "it felt right to do it that way".
Jace Ross
Actually, I think do. No, Takahashi is almost definitely not analytically inclined. He wouldn't have made a cluster-fuck like Gasaraki if he were.
By comparison, with Oshii, even his most absurd, way out there works like Gosenzosama Babanzai or Urusei Yatsura are very, very coherent. The same is true of Takahata's work in anime like Jarinko Chie or Gauche the Cellist.
Jeremiah Brooks

Justin Sanders
He is a very fastidious man. Just look at Kaguya and Only Yesterday's production. Miyazaki got tired of his shit.
Camden Price
...
Easton Lopez
You're right that Hosoda was much more mainstream than Shinkai until this, but the media still had branded Shinkai as the next Miyazaki. It had just been ages since they did it, and he hadn't had his mainstream breakthrough yet, so he was fading. And then he got it.
Adam King
>Sexy girls makes it good
Tyler James
Does talent not matter in becoming the next Miyazaki?
Eli Hughes
Amagi is the only good post Hyouka show
Eli Diaz
>Amagi is the only good post Hyouka show Whatever helps you sleep at night.
Noah Thomas
It certainly does, but no one's going to be calling some random niche faggot the next Miyazaki just because he's good. If you aren't making hits the media is going to stop hyping you, that's kind of how it works.
Levi Lee
The only good things Kyoanus have made in the last four years are Amaburi and Hyouka.
>'sexy' girls makes an anime good Kill yourself. Amagi was fun, but musaigen was trash. At least Amagi followed a story and had funny moments. Muisagen followed nothing and was just straight shit with no character development. >chunnibyou was bad First season was great, but I heard the 2nd was bad as it didn't continue the love relationship. >KnK was bad Yes it was bad
Thomas Carter
The fat midget has such a great voice.
Elijah Bennett
Are you implying Hyouka was good outside of the animation and splendid background?
James Murphy
what are the odds she sticks to proper films from here on out?
Jaxon Price
Anime can't handle that much kino
Luis Campbell
With Ghibli dead the possibility of good, quality art film plummeted down to near-zero. I think we can handle some kino.
Bentley Williams
Yes.
Evan Young
There's only Yamada. Hosoda too but he needs a good scriptwriter.
Tyler Gray
Shinkai already took the spot of Ghibli, we don't really need more similar movies. What we need is another Satoshi Kon and another Mamoru Oshii.
Dylan Ross
I've never liked Hosoda. The way I see it, there's: - Yamada - Hara if he can stay Miss Hokusai quality or above - Katabuchi if his new one is more Arete than Miracle - based Science Saru with three films in the works
>Shinkai already took the spot of Ghibli That doesn't really make any sense, and I don't think I would agree with any rationalization of it besides "they make money" which who really cares about anyways?
Sebastian Sullivan
>Shinkai already took the spot of Ghibli no
Aiden Jones
>another Mamoru Oshii That would be Kenji Kamiyama
Jason Foster
Addendum, Takahashi and Koike are doing well with Shin-chan and Lupin at the moment too.
Alexander Gonzalez
Ghibli movies were personal stories, with some romance and some supernatural bullshit. Shinkai is kind of the same.
Yamada is very similar but without the magic and worse.
We need another Kon for more mature looking shit and Oshii for Sci-Fi kino.
Hudson Russell
Ikuhara more like. Shame he didn't use Sailor Moon to kick start a film career. Adolescence of Utena was beautiful.
Juan Thompson
>kinomod
Cameron Johnson
Really all I'm hearing from you is "I have shit taste and don't understand why Miyazaki or Takahata are good." I don't disagree that more and more varied filmmakers would be a very, very good thing though.
Chase Kelly
Whatever you think about Ghibli directors doesn't matter. Shinkai already proved himself to be commercially successful enough to replace Ghibli. Yamada is yet another irrelevant late night anime director.
Colton Kelly
>I've never liked Hosoda Come on that 20 minute Digimon pilot is a masterpiece at the very least.
Easton Cruz
Nope.
Adrian Green

Daniel Roberts

Adam Ross
A very bad rotoscoped film. Ghibli is past their prime, just accept the fact that Shinkai/ComixWave is the hottest director/studio right now
Landon Watson
>rotoscoped Really?
Chase Jones
Fair enough, that's easily my favourite thing from him besides some TV work.
Ghibli was more than just sales, dude. In what way do you see Yamada as an irrelevant late-night anime director? Her work is aimed at a broad demographic and she's been picking up a lot of buzz ever since TLS. Heck I'd go so far as to say she's a key player in pioneering new ways of animated filmmaking in the digital era. Certainly, of all the directors working right now, she's one to keep an eye on.
Ghibli only has their pinky finger in that, officially their doors are closed, and Miyazaki / Takahata aka the heart and soul of the studio are retired.
Benjamin Ross
Yeah sure.
Lucas King
>Shinkai's movies received mixed reactions aside from 5cm/second Yeah no.
But aside from Chuuni S1 and arguably Free, all of that's true.
Chase Perez
>Ghibli was more than just sales Shinkai is also more than just sales, but now that he has that he can now be called the next Miyazaki, even Japan agrees.
>In what way do you see Yamada as an irrelevant late-night anime director? In the way that she's a fucking late night anime director. She's irrelevant as far as mainstream appeal go, the same mainstream appeal that Oshii, Kon or Miyazaki and Takahata achieved.
She isn't even the most successful late night anime director, that tittle goes to Anno and Tatsuya Oishi more recently.
Isaac Roberts
>Japanese site >dollar signs Makes sense.
Nathaniel James
Even jackasses can have good taste.
Nathaniel Williams
is this a safe place for 3DPD?
What's stopping them from finishing haruhi anyway?
Hunter Lewis
Kadokawa.
Evan Jenkins
I got you, I thought you were using the term in a more pejorative sense. Success aside, I think she's the best working director we have.
Charles Clark
He's right though, those are all bad.
Michael Morales
>Shinkai is also more than just sales Not really. Sure his movies looked pretty, but they were pretty lacking in substance and grew stale the longer they went on. I haven't watched KnNh yet, but up until now my favorites out of his works were his shorter things like Hoshi no Koe and She and her Cat.
>even Japan agrees. Japan is as hivemind as any other country. I'm pretty sure some magazine recently named Scarlett Johannnson the sexiest woman alive. Surely she was voted so because "America agrees. Don't bother them about it."
Parker Green
>Anno I mean I agree with everything else you said but this is retarded as fuck.
Gabriel Roberts
This. Which was of course the same thing that made them do Haruhi in the first place.
Camden Turner
KnK was the only Kyoani show worth watching in years.

Ayden Young
That sounds fucking retarded.
Austin Gutierrez
No man I swear even though he was the director for Eupho and Nichijou they were good despite him, not because of him
Elijah Sanders
I never liked his work. He's only good paired with somebody else (Disappearance, Nichijou, Hibikek).
Joseph Hernandez
I enjoyed hyouka, hibike and amagi. Others not so much. Phantom world was garbage

And you think Tamako is good?
Jonathan Roberts
I'm just memeing what I've heard, I like the guy. I think he's talented.
Brody Harris
Phantom World isn't particularly memorable, but the show had a number of cool standalone episodes and it was nice to see KyoAni churn out some fanservice.

The amount of shit taste in this thread is astounding. Every time I've tried to watch a KyoAni show in the past ~6 years I dropped it because of how often they made 1 dimensional characters purely for pandering and how incredibly dull/overused the plots were.
Juan Miller
Fine, here it is. You can go now.

David Ramirez

Also Tamako is amont the worst shit ever too. Hibike is pretty good, though.
Isaiah Russell
Like, if you have an F and a D the average is still shit. I feel like I shouldn't have to explain that.
Prove it.
John Jackson
Because Yamada is listed as the series director.
Levi Stewart
That's not proof in the slightest. I've read the interviews, the show is both of theirs.
Carter Price
...
James Butler
There's also Yonebayashi, who I think improved a lot between Arrietty and Marnie and could be really good depending on what he does now that he's out of Ghibli. And it's not like every good movie has to come from the same prolific/consistently-good directors, either - sometimes people just have good days, or someone who doesn't do movies much branches out, etc. I don't think we're in any sort of serious drought, honestly.
Gonna agree with most of your shit but I liked Amagi Brilliant Park. I definitely felt like Hibike was the new high for Kyoani in terms of direction though.
You also list Nichijou as a good non-Yamada and that was also one of their top anime. So basically Yamada doesn't matter that much overall?
Owen Lewis
We've been in a resurgence of good anime films since 2013 but before that was definitely what I'd call a drought. Yonebayashi is someone I need to revisit.
Jack Barnes
...
Cooper Perry
Stop posting Keit-ai because it's already an anime.
Both Hibike and Nichijou are cases where Ishihara gives Yamada/Ishidate and the episode directors lots of freedom. Eupho specifically follows Yamada's aesthetic rulebook and she checks out all the storyboards and layouts. Yamada was more involved in the animation process whereas Ishihara was more involved on the business side.
Nathaniel Williams
I am so tired replying to these threads. How the fuck can you guys still able to talk about the same shit day after day?
Jose Bailey
>Like, if you have an F and a D the average is still shit. No, user. Average means average. No one's talking about a curve. Why are you introducing a curve?
Jonathan Cook
His creative input is still there, and I don't see any good reason to believe anything other than that since you're not doing any proving.
Sebastian Hill
I generally like/love kyoani but are people srsly telling me Tamako as a whole movie and series are good?
I remember Cred Forums was shitting on it before everyone cared about Yamada and pretended to love everything she does. Dont get me wrong her direction was strong on it but the anime itself is flat out shit.
Oliver Thomas
If you average up every anime ever, the result is shit. Being above that average doesn't mean you're not shit. That's what average means.
Zachary King
Meme magic allowed him to get his first super hit.
Ethan Long
Not him, but what the fuck are you talking about? That is an average. A curve is when you shift the letters based on the average.
Zachary Miller
Not him, but you're still going to need to give some proof on any of that. Sure the episodes Yamada directed feel distinctly her, but the rest were pretty void of her mark. And she herself described her job in Eupho's staff commentary as being Ishihara's assistant.
Julian Wright
Tamako Market is bird shit.
Tamako Love Story is bretty gud.
Christopher Sanchez
>If you average up every anime ever, the result is shit. I think I understand you a bit better now.
Logan Diaz
now this is some mal logic
Luis Cruz
What, you think the average is going to be a clean 5/10 right in between perfect and worthless?
Brandon Evans
The series had the best tv episode of the 2010s. I'm sorry that Cred Forums shitposting about Tamako not being Keion S3 blinded you but the series was legit good and that was before I even cared about credits.
Alexander Diaz
> The series had the best tv episode of the 2010s That would be Ping Pong.
Adrian Gonzalez
Its a bad show. Even the kyoani cult in japan didnt want to buy it and they eat up anything.
Carter Howard
> The series had the best tv episode of the 2010s That would be K-On!
Justin Evans
You need to stop this, user. When someone says something is "above average" they're saying it's pretty good. Please, stop whatever you're doing in your head.
Kayden Ortiz
>2010s You mean K-On!!
Cameron Anderson
Yeah, no. Episode 9 of Tamako Market is the best thing on TV this decade. Nothing compares really and I watch most of everything that comes out.
Dylan Cook
Its funny how people think Yamada is good when Takemoto Yasuhiro made the last good kyoani tv series.
Jonathan Johnson
You're wrong.
I didn't realize he made Eupho.
Josiah Roberts
>The series had the best tv episode of the 2010s. Well done lad. Congrats on the (You)'s.
Luke Davis
This level of delusion. Its not even funny anymore.
Levi Edwards
Episode 6 of Ping Pong blows it the fuck out.
Jack Garcia
Its sad that people have to settle for Eupho since kyoani has been in a crippling state. 2013 being the worst year ever for them.
Chase Gonzalez
Eupho > Hyouka
Nicholas Watson
Yamada: There was also the question of “which one of us should be director?” For me personally, I wanted to be in a position where I would be able to concentrate and put my whole effort into making the story. As a director, you have to be concerned about everything in a production and there’s a lot of jobs outside the work itself, so it would be difficult for me to dig into the nooks and crannies of the story while doing all of that. Ishihara: Yes, but you’re also thinking “what would other directors do in this situation?” as well. Surprisingly, there’s only a few things that a TV anime director does. You work up to the storyboard check, and well, you do say “show me this cut” when each cut is completed, but that’s the limit of what you do. With that in mind, this show appeared to be one that you had to keep an eye on it to the farthest nook….wouldn’t you say? Yamada: That’d be right. This work would have a lot of parts that you wouldn’t be able to help with if you were just a director. Ishihara: You wouldn’t be able to go into details as much either. Yamada: Right. So I talked to Ishihara-san and the producers and was given the role of series director for the show. Oguro: Fundamentally, how did you divide the work? Ishihara: Yamada would look at the various detailed points. Yamada: As I looked over the entire series progression as a whole, I’d work on the subtleties of each character’s emotions and made sure that progressed logically so to speak. While I was working on that, I gradually understood the role of series director. Oguro: Did you two participate in the scenario meetings? Yamada: Yes. Ishihara: We did. But Yamada would check the storyboards before I did. I’d look at them after she did. It was that kind of split. Also, we first said that I would go to the voice recording and Yamada would stay at Kyoto and check the layouts and such. (laughs)
Jeremiah Brooks
You're free to have another opinion but I'm pretty sure that if you've watched Tamako you'd understand my point of view. Good storyboards don't make a good episode. You've chosen the worst sounding episode so I'm going with you baiting.
Dylan Smith
Cmon man I really love kyoani. But stop this bullshit. You are really getting me mad. Hyouka was good but the story was so bland and lack luster. The yuribait was near canon at some points. While it made for good scenes it doesnt work when both character have their own love interest.
You know Hyouka is their best work. The visual directions to story everything worked well. Eupho is only good because compared to everything else they made during that time it looked like a diamond in the rough.
Gabriel Cox
Eupho is very good.
But Hyouka is clearly better.
Xavier Bailey
I don't even love Kyoani, I like good shows. Hyouka's cool. Eupho's better in every way, in my eyes.
Lincoln Martinez
Takemoto hasn't made anything good since Hyouka.
Henry Rivera
You are correct.
Carson Lee

Gavin Fisher
This. Surprised its actually very decent after reading the first part of LN. Looking really forward for it - and it`ll not just be everyday drama, the later part has loli rape, murder and disfigurement, war
Oliver Fisher
I did, a lot. But postfactum. Its kind of work that comes together when you get the story fully. Ishidate truly is talented director and did his best there.
So in hindsight its one of best KyoAni stories executions and characters. However in hindsight - watching it as it aired wasnt the best experience. But the whole story comming together - OAV, TV and movies: puts it in different light.
Just to give a clue, at begining you dont and cant understand the OP until you watched the whole story youtube.com/watch?v=NqxJ191ecPQ
Angel Lewis
Not him - but Hibike is tandem of Yamada and Ishihara working on it together, no one is in superior role. Yamada mostly having main decisions about the key story points, Ishihara doing storyboards, lots of actual episode supervision etc. Yamada is slightly superior, Ishihara does lot more actual work - but both coordinate with each other: their positions are nominal,there essentially are two directors to the show. Now given that at same time, especially S2 Yamada was busy with Koe no Katachi - Hibike is genuinely "ishihara" show with Yamada influence.
Read the interviews.
Mason Gutierrez
Does Ishihara have any distinct directing traits like Yamada?
Lincoln Lewis
In the Eupho interviews they talk about directorial preferences, like lenses they like and types of shots. Very good read if you haven't already.
Gabriel Barnes
Tom and Jerry yuri couples?
Colton Russell
Everything except the "independent" part is false. KyoAni is probably the most known mainstream and loved in industry - doesnt mean mainstream follows it urgently, but everyone aware of it.
Its also by all means one of the biggest currently existing studios staff wise after Sunrise. It has the highest number of permanent employes, over 100 - while most other studios are times less and rely exclusively on outsourcing and freeelancers.
Christian Morales
Are you sure you know what "independent" means?
Dominic Mitchell
He's also a film fag. I remember that he said he was influenced by American films from the 80s.
Jordan Sullivan
In west it means "poor"
Ethan Price
Mark the news, 2017 is the year of announcement of KyoAni Live Action division, lead by Ishidate.
Samuel Robinson
>KyoAni Live Action division Don't you mean KinoAni?
Adam Gonzalez
>called "Kyoto Animation" >makes lives action
Ayden Wilson
Ishidate is a movie fag that was rejected at all Live Action production companies at his youth, so had to work in KyoAni as animator. They already publish LN - live action and videogames are next steps.
>I have to fucking work with him/her everyday and I don't want to sound like some arrogant glory hog. Better be flattering and talk about platitudes like teamwork and partnerships.
Dominic Mitchell
Everything I hear about Kyoani makes it seem like they all like each other and get along. I dunno what you're getting at.
Liam Walker
You do know Ishihara is Yamada's mentor right? Why should they not get along?
Leo Lopez

Amagi was meh. It had boring filler episodes, the drama was both poorly written and directed, and the final episode had no actual ending. Gatoh didn't even try, Takemoto didn't even try.

Honestly Yamada is the biggest reason why Kyoani is my favorite studio. I like all of Kyoani's works (minus Keyshit) but if it weren't for her, it would probably be Sunrise or something. Literally all of her works are some of my favorite anime (with the exception of Hibike because it was only half Yamada).
Koe no Katachi is going to be GOAT though. It even has my favorite scriptwriter.
Henry Jones
>Hibike good >Chuunibyou bad Get fucked with your shit taste
Robert Mitchell
I don't see the problem here.
Brandon Gutierrez
Ishihara's OPs are all completely identical and he likes the first scene of his shows to be a black screen with some text on it. He's also the guy responsible for all the funny faces in Euphonium thanks to him being competent at drawing.
Jose Wilson
...
Owen Sullivan
He likes fanservice and ecchi. Yamada and other milfs in KyoAni do not let him do it. He bitterly envies Takemoto for Takemono being able to make ecchi jokes and draw boobs in Amagi.
Colton Adams
