Overall it tops, but Iso's sniper scene can't top Iso's evangelion scene.

Generally yeah, this looks cooler than EoE.

I like Imaishi's works from 90s and early 2000s.
They were really great, specially his work on One Piece Movie 6.

But this http://youtu.be/b79KLMqQL6c sucks.

Oh god, he is almost like Arasan here, what the fuck?!
You sure this is Imaishi?

Imaishi is overrated.


He did some genius sakuga works in FLCL as example, but he is not that interesting anymore.

He is getting old, that's what you want to say.

I think he should focus on directing now rather than the visuals.
His visual work is not as powerful as it used to be.

Funny, I actually thought "what? Arasan got better?" when I first saw the scene 882 posted. And then I found out it was by Imaishi and I was completely disappointed. That spin blob is really awful.  And the move-freeze timing throughout is so poorly disguised. Not even average...

When was Imaishi's animation ever better than his storyboarding? People remember him for stuff like FLCL 5, RCH1, Dead Leaves and TTGL 8... but he didn't do a particularly high amount of key animation for any of them. All the key scenes were done by other people.

He directed Hideaki Anno's favorite anime OP of all time yet he didn't do any KA for it (Hiramatsu was AD): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yM9_WHbm3OE

All the time? Go mention anywhere how Kanada style animation is kinda cheap and you'll see people immediately asking even Imaishi and (Kameda etc)?

That OP is lightyears better than the whole OVA.

I meant to say he is considered good often.

why does it matter if you like his animation or not? he isn't going to solo-animate the op; he is just storyboarding it and his conte skills are whole level above umetsu's or nakazawa's. the scenes in re-cutey honey 1, ttgl 1 or psg 1b are inventive and fun through layouts alone.

How does that contradict what I said? People consider his animation good but they most likely find his work in direction and storyboard more memorable. When people talk Iso, they talk about Asuka versus the Evas rather than Rahxephon 15 or Dennou Coil; when people talk Imaishi, they talk FLCL 5, Dead Leaves or Gurren-Lagann rather than any specific scene.

Heh, now that I think about it, you're right. Whatever.

Because I really do not care for Imaishi's storyboarding or directing. At all. I was not talking only about animation here

>>880

I don't like a single thing Imaishi did. Well, I lied - I like the manga cuts in FLCL and Kare Kano. And the Cutie Honey OP is pretty fun too, although more because it has better fanservice than the whole series. But as far as his style in general goes, it's just not for me.

so you judge direction and storyboarding just by what appeals to you? that's pretty close minded.

Isn't this what we all do?
We don't have enough knowledge about film making to judge these thing objectively anyway.

And he didn't say Imaishi was bad. He just doesn't like.

I prefer Imaishi's animation to his conte or directing. He's pretty boring as a director honestly, his works wouldn't be any good at all if he didn't have a whole team of brilliant layout artists and animators working alongside him.

His cut in FLCL 4 is one of the best things ever though.

Name: Anonymous 2013-10-01 13:08

>>903

I agree with you BUT IF he was as good as back then on FLCL.

I don't prefer his current animations anymore, he is obviously not capable to deliver such animation anymore. I think he is not interested anymore to work as animator.


His animation in Eva 3.0 was totally boring, it was all about high and wide angles, not motion.

He is now obviously better at layout and storyboard.

Perhaps that's the reason for SnK being such a crap...

I think you've mistaken Storyboard work with animation, which was not Imaishi's job for that movie.

The comments of >>904 and >>909 are the reason why Imaishi is not a good animator anymore.

You two couldn't find him on Eva 3.0, because it was average!

The scene where Shinji pulls out the shere was animated by him.

Also, off-topic.

But that's what his cuts in Eva consists off - 75% layout, 25% animation. Nothing to them. They're carried by composition and inbetweening. Funny isn't it.
