Well we could even look at the same show, like Hanasaku Iroha and compare different episodes by different directors and storyboarders (as storyboarding is such a huge part of making an anime).Articalys said:
The opening episodes was 'directed' by Ando, of Sword of the Stranger fame. He constructed the episode, visually, like a movie. It feels expertly paced and shot, with careful attention paid to lots of minor details. For example, early on in the first episode the camera is placed inside the microwave, looking outwards. This is unusual placement, and more visually interesting then having the camera situated half-way across the room pointing at Ohana cooking. Later episodes, created by less skilled staff, weren't nearly as well constructed or paced or shot from interesting, unique places. They were just kind of 'there', most of them didn't do anything terrible but they weren't noticeable either.
In terms of lazy direction, for a conversation you usually have the classic shot over shoulder cut to shut over someone else's shoulder way of shooting a conversation, but it might be more interesting to mix up what the camera sees. Place it in a different location, at a different angle, or cut the two people talking together into one frame, or add something to the background which is tied in with what they're discussing, etc.
The difference between lazy direction and interesting direction won't always be as over the top as say, Penguin Drum 9 and some generic harem anime. In that Penguin Drum ep one of the director is clearly doing lots of weird, fascinating things with camera work and editing and lighting. The difference can be found in the minor details as well, so it really varies from show to show.

People spend their entire careers on GAF trying to achieve one of those things. I have done all 3 in record breaking time.

I love how the new bingo card you made already has half the spaces filled in.
Don't get a big head or anything.

The important thing to take away from this is that despite the disparity between Penguin Drum's direction and animation in each episode none of them are any good, so what does it matter? I consider the content being animated also part of direction and Spice and Wolf has that in spades.Jexhius said:

By the way, it was briefly listed before but now it's totally confirmed that Crunchyroll will simulcast Ikamusume Season 2.
Which also means we should get ready for a flurry of announcements over the next few days laying out their entire season schedule.

Will easily be the best show of the year if they pulled that off.

I can't help it that people get so offended when somebody doesn't actually like Penguindrum. Or really ugly looking series from 20+ years ago.

Wait wait..totally been out of the anime scene for years but a quick browse of the OP shows they're remaking HunterxHunter? The heck? Is it just like DBKai or will they continue further in the manga eventually? Starts this Sunday huh..maybe I'll watch it if nothing else is on TV.
Won't take that long, it's going to be saved when pervs and fan artists get hooked.zeroshiki said:

What's there to change? I remember the anime being frame for frame with the manga more or less. Guess I'll have to tune in to find out. I don't think I've watched/read Hunter in close to a decade.

How many times are you going to switch sides here?darkside31337 said:
Anyways, to go off on a tangent I'm going to rant about something recent, Mayo Chiki 12 to be exact. It goes without saying that this show sucks, I'm only in it now because I've come this far and I mistakenly thought this was the final episode. I was wrong, I guess there's another. Anyways, there's so many things wrong with this show. Like
how you can't trust Kanade, how do we even know she didn't set up Konoe being fired just so what's his name could have some moment here, why would a petition work for a family that fucking kidnaps people at knife point to train their children, why am I watching this shit? And the mains big moment was asking for help from a fan club for a petition, I thought he'd do something manly after his delivery but it was just that, he's not going to fight anyone?
Fuck this show.

I'm done switching sides. I liked Spice and Wolf and I've already made my general hatred of Penguindrum thus far well known.
Miri said:
S1 was better in general yes. For what Darker Than Black was at it's best and what it should have been and always been about, Hei's badassery involving alcohol, women, and his fists, S2's soundtrack fits much better.

A remake starting from the beginning and is scheduled for 45+ episodes. It might make it further than the last show, but news about censorship and some less than desirable changes (Hisoka not being perverted, no Kaito in the beginning) don't give the show a great outlook.
Ah, so you hate the Penguins too eh? Ok, I'll bite.darkside31337 said:
You're right in what I was talking about and I will watch the episodes of MPD I'm missing up until 10 just so I can come back here and say "wrong" with more authority, not that I need any more to say "wrong" because you're wrong. Either way I guess whether discussing content or camera work both MPD and Spice and Wolf are better than the last two episodes of Eva.Nonoriri said:

That was no joke, it was serious business for serious bros.
However since the current theme is evidently big foreheads I have to change back to Iori for awhile.
mAcOdIn said:
The last two episodes of Eva are really interesting in terms of both content and direction though. I don't know if I would call them better, but they are certainly more memorable than anything in MPD and Spice and Wolf.
