just the festival arc delievered so many great "sakuga" moments. It's ridiculous not to mention it.

Not saying it should win, but not even a single mention? It strikes me odd.

No one is a "KyoAni fanboy" in here. We're just people who appreciate the art and craft of animation production, in all its details. If some well produced works happen to be connected with this or that studio, so be it.

A lot of people just don't pay attention to character animation and they also don't get the difference between hand drawn and CG animation.

The average anime fan probably thinks Aquarion EVOL is animated better than Hyouka or K-On.

| difference between hand drawn and CG animation.

CG animation is still animation though.

I'm sure the typical anime fan can distinguish CGI from traditional animation easily enough. It's pretty common to see people complain about the quality of CGI in anime.

Well , it sounds like it no ?
Because bashing other hard works for just enlighting Hyouka all the time is pretty redonding.

You could talk about other animation from Madhouse for example

No one talk about some nice element in BTOOM for example (okay they are very few ) etc etc

Okay Kyoani did a great job but they are not alone doing this.

Probably because no one here watches it.
If you want to get people to talk about it then initiate the discussion by posting gifs or some shit from the show.

We'd love some contribution. Complaining doesn't help anything.

Has it ever dawned on you that it gets mentioned not because it's "KyoAni" but because it is actually very well made, and consistent in quality? As I see it, it's not really a matter of fanboyism as it is a matter of KyoAni hatedom spilling over from other places, suddenly dissing something good simply for being associated with one studio or another. Talking about the technical aspects here, of course.

You might have noticed (or not, as we can see) actually, but most of the time we don't even talk about particular studios but particular animators.

Hyouka was brought into the picture here just now plenty of times because it doesn't have only great animation (as do the dance sessions in idolmaster, which, if you look in the previous threads, were often talked about - I think they were done after references btw, not rotoscoped)  but also good colour direction and lighting, very nice effects, CG that blends in well, clever composition etc, or in short, what the average Joe would call "nice visuals" (can't really say that about idolmaster, can we agree on this? Even though I liked it quite a lot myself).

The general puzzlement was: if they don't care about animation per se, but visuals "as a whole", how come something like Hyouka which ticks all the boxes for that doesn't even get a mention?

This might surprise you (it sure surprised me) but those are the older guys, going into their twenties at the youngest I'd say. The average teenager nowadays has no idea about that (and doesn't even care) since they grew up with CG. This is anecdotal knowledge though, it's just something I've noticed, so you may (and should) be as skeptical as you want.

Yeah i see your point

Well you talk about this ?
http://randomc.net/2013/01/02/the-best-of-anime-2012/comment-page-2/

Well to re-assure you , this website was kinda unknow to me
Maybe check the Japanese polls for 2012 ?
RandomC is huge in USA ?

I should say that Fate zero is huge like a block buster for anime of 2012 ?

So not suprised it was mentionned there a lot.

Bahi's animation looks a lot like Yasuo Muroi's especially the way he draws animation smearing.

Yes we are talking about RandomC.
In terms of English speaking Blogs, RandomC is one of the most popular episodic blogs, (not like Sankaku that just posts trash news)
That Anime of 2012 post has almost 500 replies, it certainly shows alot of people are posting there. That is why we are talking about it in this thread. Since we are an English speaking "community"(can we be called such?) we care about what other English communities have to say on our subject domain.

Correction, I should have said 400. I thought the number was 481 for some reason.

I don't see anything very interesting in there, the action bits last 2 seconds at most and it's hard to appreciate the movement.
