It’s been a long time, hasn’t it?
Inspector Green Tag didn’t use exactly the same question, but since I gave an answer more appropriate for this challenge, I’m going to just copy and paste it here so that if you haven’t noticed that post before, you’ll still see my response to this query*.
Pretty much everything KyoAni made since 2008. They all look beautiful for me, despite the fact that their character design art styles tend to appear all the same–to the point of almost looking like exact replica of each other. But if one will look closely, there are subtle differences between the styles, so they’re still basically different. I also crave for their backgrounds and layouts, which never fail to exude enchanting atmosphere and paint emotions on the important scenes. Their consistent art style, particularly on the overall character anatomy, is also one of the things I love about KyoAni. Plus points, too, for the camera effects like blurring of details on off-focus objects, which give their works the feel that they’re shot with areal camera. (Not that I’m an expert in judging cinematography, but in any case I ought to mention that merit.)
But if I were to choose a favorite animation from KyoAni, I’m proud to say it’s Nichijou. NICHIJOU is KyoAni’s opus magnum**.
Best BFF fight and reconciliation:
Best action-psychological sequence. Oh, animal cruelty, too.
Passion~ Baka.. Baka.. Baka..
If you didn’t laugh at any of those videos, there’s something wrong with you. Now, if you’ll excuse me.
*Just me being lazy.
**Just me looking for an excuse to share Nichijou videos.
True enough. Other than P.A Works, KyoAni also made excellent backgrounds 🙂
Yes, Nichijou is epic! One of the best since SZS!
I’m reaaaally glad I’m not the only one who thinks of Nichijou that way! XD I can’t help but rewatch those funny scenes again and again.
And wow, I had a good laugh from that Hakase song! Same same same inu inu inu negi negi negi~ (a perfect summary of the lyrics, I think)
I have a new show to check out now. 🙂 I like a lot of what Shaft has put out as far as studios go.
Nichijou? I hope you enjoy it, sir. I had an idea you’re a fan of SHAFT works.
