K #1 - This is a really awful series. Pretty much everything about it is bad. It has the ugliest digital composition I have seen in anime. The scenario is pretty bad. It tries to introduce a ton of characters without telling anyone who they are. Style over substance. The script loves to use made up terms and buzzwords to make everything sound "complex" without being meaningful. The camera movement is awkward and overdone. There are really bad CG background pans. Super ugly filters everywhere. The entire show looks like someone spilled a blue and green drink all over the screen. Always. All the time. By the end of the first episode, not only do I still have no idea what this show is really about, but I also no longer care. It's too ugly.

Some of the animation cuts were quite good, especially the action. But the heavy use of filters makes it really hard to appreciate

Judging by the screen caps. Pretty fucking stupid. The colors are just hideous.

Ouch, not a favourable appraisal. I'll see how it's like once subs are out.
I dunno if I was expecting too much but damn that's unimpressive. I thought they've already upped their performance in the OP department during Arakawa S2.

Will a Hidamari opening ever be finished by the time the first episode airs? Probably not.

Imamura is dead/trapped in his basement working on Kizu.
Nothing really impressive about this OP but at least one poster here wants to makes sure we can keep up with the latest /a/ troll trends so it's all good ¯\(°_o)/¯

Not seeing anything particularly good in the Hidamari OP.
The Last SHAFT OP that wowed me was.. Arakawa and SoreMachi.

Hidamari OPs have never been particularly impressive.

SoreMachi was good. I wonder what Umetsu is doing now and what happened to "Kiss and Cry"? I don't remember it being released.

Tempest #1 was pretty lame
I really disliked how telephoto lens'd everything was, especially the "wide shots". Composition was 2D as fuck, I expected a bit more depth and volume from Ando

I don't know shit about cinematography, so I can't say much about that, but action scenes are solid as expected from Bones.
the fight was cool, but it was only during the fight where the visuals came alive. Everything else was either so-so or flat
so far, Shin Sekai Yori is still tops in terms of directing in my book.

I'd agree that the animation was nothing to talk about most of the time, but I'd argue that the action scenes more than made up for it.

I'm not criticizing the animation though, I don't expect miracles from Ando or Bones. Don't get me wrong, the fight scene was good and all, but it wasn't enough to carry the entire episode for me.

Oh lord, colours and shapes everywhere. That's quite the visual assault. At least the action looks nice, and the credits are in English for a change.

Okay, the animation was great. The low-key scenes could use some work, but overall it was great. However, the filter is stupid and terrible, makes it kinda hard to appreciate the beautiful background and the animation.
The direction overall felt very disjointed, there just wasn't any flow nor atmosphere in the show. The director also seem to love putting some fancy shot with lens flare in it, terrible decision. I think he wants the show to feel "cool" as hell, but it just didn't work.

It was average. The filter blends everything together though, so it doesn't stick out.

I'm not so concerned about whether it sticks out, provided that the CGI aesthetic is focused on looking photo-realistic which then I will just judge it by the model detail.

Just watched K. First time I've ever gotten a headache simply by watching anime, the colour permafilter hurt my eyes for real.
