The only thing Amagi is better at than Hyouka is pandering.

The pacing actually bugs me a lot and so are some of the character designs.
i guess i wouldn't be still watching if i hadn't reaad the manga first .

Character designs? Mayakaglaring.gif
I'm not sure the story is more 'fun', although that remains to be seen. The setting is at least different, but it seems like it's mostly just going to facilitate typical anime hijinks. But then, I found Hyouka's grounded story to be perfectly 'fun'. Episode 11 was mindblowing, and pretty much the whole second half had me grinning every time I watched an episode.
I'll never be able to put into words how thankful I was for that.
I disagree but we've had this argument multiple times in multiple forms so I'll leave it at that.

I'm really, really liking Btooom! so far. It's a lot better than I was expecting it to be. The plot is kinda standard fare, but eh, the action and some of the characters make up for it.
And yeah, the OP for the is great.

Now you're just trying to tick people off.
I thought that was always why he did this?

Yup. Almost every episode I was grinning. It was fun to watch. I get why some wouldn't think so but the character interactions were what made the show. I think too many were looking for an overarching plot thread when there really wasn't one it had. It just followed a group of fun and interesting characters with great animation and music. Hyouka is definitely one of my favorite KyoAni animes with Clannad.
I laughed more than I should've.
I haven't started this show yet but I am sure it's a fine show. I feel a lot of the stuff KyoAni does is pretty well done. Hyouka was well worth KyoAni's talent pool. That and then some.

It doesn't really feel like a better use of their talents. The style looks far more like the rest of all anime on television.
Plus, I think if you look at Hyouka and then look at Amagi you'll have a pretty clear view of which series KyoAni thinks is more worth putting care into.
Hint: It's Hyouka.
I think you're mixing up production scheduling with company interests. KyoAni from 2012 is in many ways a different company than it is now.

Nichijou is well-made garbage though. It has more in common with their post Hyouka works if anything.
One of these days I'll watch the show.
I have a very strong feeling I'm going to hate the everlasting shit out of it but I'll watch it nonetheless.

Episode that's given an ethereal nature primarily through dialogue, internal monologue, and a dash of narration with the supernatural imagery supporting it rather than vice versa?
Always good to see more people watching this masterpiece.
We just need them to take on some big movie projects again.

I agree. It was a good time.

Mobile Fighter G Gundam 24
And I would've gotten away with it too if it weren't for you meddling kids and your Gundams!
Oh I am just gonna bounce off these lasers that surround the earth to get where I need to be in seconds because plot convenience. Also we have a device that can communicate with the Gundam. Just saying lots of conveniences.
Despite all that I really liked this episode. I was never particularly attached to the Shining Gundam's design. The
new Burning Gundam
Domon is tolerable now. So that's a miracle.
Nichijou lacks the tryhard otaku pandering and undercooked homogenized aesthetic, so no.

I wasn't being 100% serious with that. Obviously, production schedules play a big part in this, and I don't think they'd ever choose to put out a subpar product just because the material wasn't as strong. I think there's less care being put into Amagi than Hyouka (at least going by Episode 2; the first episode did have strong direction), but there's only so much they can do.
I was mostly just responding to the silly notion that it's a better use of their talents than Hyouka.
I'm curious; how have they changed in the past two years?

Really enjoyed the fight betweek Hak and Soo, and the flash forward tease got me very excited for where this series will go. Whoever called this FE the anime basically nailed it, very enjoyable show so far

Obviously KyoAni should have done Gatoh's other novel series:
Sounds like a F2P game.
Realized that they could make a shitload more money creating anime for IPs they own. Anime for the most part are just advertisements. Why peddle other people's stuff when you can peddle your own wares?
They also truncated their production schedules so we get a lot more from the studio but the animation quality has gone steadily down.

why , 6 months later , he is still doing that obvious chuuni thing.
This is the thing that disturb the hell of me though, some crazy notion that KyoAni isn't studio that made show to appeal otaku... And K-ON is somehow part of that. I believe the target audience for all show that you mention as golden age is them.
Ah, that's true. Amagi's really been the only exception so far when it comes to that.
Not sure if I've noticed the decline in animation quality so much. While it's true that they haven't made anything as well animated as Hyouka ever since, both of the seasons of Free looked pretty great to me.
Hehe.

Damn I have 16 currently airing anime I'm watching and that's before Toonami and the few back log shows I'm working on O.O
None of the new fall shows I'd consider dropping outside of World Trigger but I liked the manga enough that I'll stick with it till when the story picks up in hopes that Toei is just saving budget for then with these early episodes

It's more about how the shows come across -hence 'tryhard'. It's the difference between both seasons of K-On, or having a senior familial figure be a faceless sister instead of a catmom.
I don't really have too much of a problem though, if only the stuff turned out good overall.
Yea this is a super strong season, probably one of the stronger ones we've had in a very long time.

Why do this to yourself?
At the very least it's one of the deepest seasons in a while.

It's definitely the strongest since 2012. I don't think it can surpass Spring 2012, though.
I would say it's better than Spring 2012 but I need to see how many shows crash and burn first.
Everyone knows the truth though..

Spring 2012 had Kids on the Slope, Tsuritama, Hyouka, Fate/Zero S2, Space Brothers and Mysterious Girlfriend X. That was pretty stacked.
I don't know that this season can top that unless almost every show lives up to its full potential. If so, then maybe it has a shot (but hell, at this point in that season Fujiko seemed like it was going to be great and Eureka Seven AO seemed promising). More likely it will fall a little short, but it's probably still one of the better seasons of the past 5 years. It looks like a slightly deeper season, but will anything manage to reach the levels of the top shows from Spring 2012?

Oh yeah, I was forgetting about Mushishi (probably because I still need to finish watching the first season). I guess that does tip things a little more in this season's favor.
