Some things never change.
I loved Angel Beats! art direction.
And that screenshot you really have to look for it (most won't even notice it). That was like a 2 second shot too. Nitpicking at its finest.

The tiling maybe, but the perspective makes the copy paste hall pretty obvious.
really not seeing how its nitpicky given how repulsively ugly it was the moment it poped up on screen
Sir, I will fight you.
I sadly have no eye for such things, but I thought that Angel Beats! looked ok. The content was terrible very fast, but at least it was ok to look at. Then again, I even don't think the posted screenshot looks that bad.
Also, here a randomc review for more pictures.

Now I'm impressed that you made that connection.

Love Live S2 volume 1 BD sales: 82,119
That's what a half-price volume + event ticket + mobage card code will do for you, I suppose. It's immediately almost the best-selling single volume in modern anime history (in fact, for BDs only, it's already the best-selling) and will nearly certainly become so next week.
Other numbers:
The Wind Rises BD/DVD -- 46,335/63,111
Gochiusa BD/DVD vol.1 -- 6,839/1,060
Gundam Build Fighters BD Box 2 -- 7,848
One Week Friends BD/DVD vol.1 -- 3,658/1,047
Still a lot of sales that got lost in the cutoff, so please wait for the full list on Thursday for further analysis.

You could say this about almost any anime depending on any given persons preference. But naturally the bolded is a radical over exaggeration. That would be like me saying The Tatami Galaxy is ugly with every shot. I don't particularly like its art style (I actually found it repulsive at times) but I don't go out of my way to find screenshots of a show I didn't like.
Wait, Love Live somehow slapped Madoka in the face?
Now, that's scary, even at half-price. (So maybe on the butt, but still)

Holy shit. Is that higher then Madoka or Gundam SEED?

it's not the only time its used either!
I don't see it. I think you're reaching.
yes it's higher. It beats the highest sales before (Bakemono which sold 7.2) by 10k.

if you cant see the repeated use of the same tiles then you're either blind or trolling

There's already a bunch more still coming out right?
But yes I expect even more idol shows, and I will probably not watch any of them like always
There was that one episode of Kyokai no Kanata

Yes, resort to insults. That almost always makes things better.
it's not the only time its used either!
I don't know what's worse. The tiles or the fact there was another flight of stairs built beside it that can't be entered or exited.
You just dropped some megaton there.
I always assumed that was a practice episode for full idol anime show.

Since the first season?
But the mobile game boost it even further I heard, dat marketing magic.
That's a water feature. The stairs are going up over the water - it's just difficult to tell from the picture, but it's quite a common thing to see.
It's not so much the copy-pasting that's irritating in that shot to me, it's how artificial it looks. It looks like a texture applied to a surface rather than something organically part of the background. Of course we've seen similar effects in many anime, even on foreground art (Gankutsuou, for instance) but in Gankutsuou it's used skilfully and stylishly, whereas here it just looks a bit lazy.

The first season sold like 30k.
Even if vol 2 will drop hard, season 2 looks way bigger than s1.

Yeah they use the same tile images to layer it on, but to be honest if I was actually watching the show that minor detail would never resonate with me. With the hallway scene I know the only way I would have picked up on that would have been if someone pointed it out directly considering my eyes would be going back and fourth between the subtitles and the character moving around. The same goes with those tiles for the stairs. Honestly, I would probably only notice it while it was happening if I was already feeling nitpicky.
When IdolGAF made it big.
And for everyone who didn't see Kyoukai no Kanata, here's the KyoAni Magic. I actually would look forward to see a KyoAni Idolanime, despite me waiting on more Keystuff and FMP. There animation is always so gorgegous and they now how to do cute girls (and boys, hello free).

Now we need a Church.
KyoAni making an idol show seems like a very safe bet.

The only Key adaptation left is Rewrite. Every other adaptation has been adapted to anime. Angel Beats was an original IP and was the exception.
I'd love for KyoAni to do Rewrite though...
Preference and taste is one thing, but there are standards of quality in an animated production, standards that Angel Beats doesn't come close to meeting. IIRC it's not even arguable, back when it aired it was known for its scheduling and production problems all over the place. Kyoani's Key shows are something where you can argue from taste whether or not it looks good, but it's undeniable that they are very well-made. That kind of look is what AB! was going for, but it failed astronomically when it came to production quality.
That doesen't stop me from waiting. I was so sad when I heard that Little Busters wasn't made by KyoAni.
We're never getting that next FMP season :/
I've lost all hope after hearing Amagi Brilliant Park.
