They are a joke.

Hey, Panty & Stocking was filled with CG. Sure was a shitty-looking show, am rite?

People need to understand that CG isn't inherently bad, it's about how the director uses it. I don't think T&B was a good looking show at all, tho.

Yea but Hoirzon's first episode was better.

But Panty & Stocking has the best, most well integrated CG of any TV anime! It's not fair to use that as an example.

Yeah, >>315 needs to make that infographic.

Actually the OP makes the distinction between artistic direction and technical animation, they were simply trolling with the lists or they simply hadn't watched the shows/had no idea what consistently good animation looked like.

I was the OP of that thread, and I'm not seeing your problem here.

C Cubed had a great art and scene composition. It's more visually unique than anything else that I had listed (these were the only shows I had seen of the season) at the very least. Have you seen it?

>>329
If you'd read the post you'd see that I explicitly separate art and animation.

I did that so people wouldn't get confused...

C3 looks different, but persona 4 well animated? The moments that weren't off-model were choppy and there was so much panning. It was the most boring animation I've seen besides Fate/Zero ep01, and Fate/Zero stays on-model.

Well I didn't call it well-animated. I had the same gripes as you, though I did like a couple of sequences there towards the end.

P4A #1 was killed by the ADs. They just about sucked whatever life or soul the character designs may have had.

It had better animation than Majikoi, which really did nothing special at all from what I remember.

P4 lacked consistency but there some nice sequences, like when Chie, Yosuke, and Protag run from the Shadows.

I like its designs even though they're not incredibly unique or anything. It's really just a matter of opinion.

I look at its art highly more so due to the visual direction of the anime as a whole not just the character designs. The coloring, effects, storyboarding are all very nice. If it were about purely character designs Horizon would be at the top for me this season. And again, it's a matter of opinion here.

This is a joke, right? Horizon has quite literally the most boring, generic, cookie-cutter H-game designs I have ever seen.

Speaking of Yoshinari, this isn't confirmation of his Idolm@ster episode or anything, but I just found out that he drew a poster for the same IM@S event that Nishigori and Sato drew posters for a few years ago:

Maybe his participation on IM@S isn't so far-fetched, after all?

yeah Horizon wasn't particularly impressive on the character design front. Chihayafuru, UN-GO and Guilty Crown take that cake this season imo

Name: Anonymous 2011-10-11 18:55

I think UN-GO looks like ass in animation. Star Driver was already pretty ugly with its pointy chins, but this takes it to a new extreme.

Stupid troll. Learn the difference between art style and animation and then come back here.

UN-GO looks pretty awesome animation wise. Those splosions and FX in the preview were eye-candy

Horizon actually has quite of bit of variety in its character design. Each character is very distinctive, and not just because of different hair colors. You've got a cast that includes a ninja, a slime, a fat guy, a robot dragon, and an Incubus all in the same class. It can get really ridiculous with its boobs and hair too. I love it.

Mashiroiro Symphony is the anime this season with generic cookie-cutter H game designs.

>>347
I don't see how someone say Horizon had generic designs but then praise Chihayafuru. I mean I liked Chihayafuru's art direction but it pretty much has the typical shoujosei character design.

No, what I mean is that the animation character designs look ugly. The original art looks pretty great, but they didn't translate them very well to animation. It looks just like Star Driver with bigger chins.

Character design ranking for 2011 according to Anonymous on the Sakuga Thread.

Top Tier: Mawaru PenguinDrum, Idolm@ster
Mid Tier: Madoka, YuruYuri, AnoHana, C, Tamayura, Dantalian, Tiger & Bunny, Working, Guilty Crown
Irrelevant Tier: Everything else

I don't think heaping ridiculous accessories on a generic base design makes for good character design. Half the cast just looks like recolors of the other half to me, but I guess it's just lol opinions.

Well, the male, or maybe I should say non-female, cast seems to have some really varied and interesting designs. But the chicks all look the same to me.
