There isn't a relationship, character, event, or emotion in it that feels real." Some people just don't get it I guess - sad for them. Taking quotes out of context really won't help. It's the correlation of each sentence that makes the review good and un-bias in nature. I could just use a quote out of context to support my case just like this: ...and certainly the series leaves one feeling cheap and used. But I didn't because I believe how people view Clannad depends on their preferences. Sure, I did enjoy the series but it isn't without flaws and there are things better than it. Also, animation studios is not all about "animation". You can have pretty art but that doesn't something like anime an automatic 'masterpiece'. The direction of the story, the writing, and composition - perhaps voice acting - are also key factors.

The direction of the story, the writing, and composition - perhaps voice acting - are also key factors. You're right on the last few parts but in many cases the story and characters are already written for animation studios (like manga and visual novels) who they get to direct it chooses how the shots are portrayed (shinchiro watanabe for instance) so yes, when speaking about animation studios I am of the opinion it largely comes down to animation - thus, my quote wasn't really all that much out of context. I am also of the understanding that seiyuu don't work SOLELY for one studio or another - i'm hazy on who is responsible for getting the right voice for the right character though. and that review gave the animation an A-

kufirst 68612 cr points Send Message: 26 / M / USA Offline	Permalink Reply Quote Posted 8/10/12, edited 8/10/12 I've seen quite a few of what I consider 'masterpieces' that lack quality animation. The whole process of editing is another enormous factor. That's why people watch anime and movies; what to leave in and what to take out. When a studio and it's staff do their jobs just right, you'll know.

My guess is that animation studios contact the companies and make contracts who they want or they personally contact the VAs. If you look through the many ANN reviews, you'll see that not many things really get A-'s. It may be uncommon or rare but, nonetheless, it is a good grade.

When a studio and it's staff do their jobs just right, you'll know. Again, (as I said) isn't that really up to the director how things are shot and edited? (like in movies) Is it somehow different with animation companies? and don't directors in anime work for different animation companies? I'd agree with you there though (desperately trying to get the thread back on track) a GREAT story doesn't need wonderful animation BUT we are talking about the best animation companies and I would still think that KyoAni is better than sunrise and studio pierrot. Spoiler Alert! Click to show or hide maybe not bones though

Spoiler Alert! Click to show or hide maybe not bones though Generally, directors stick with one studio. Hence AsuraCryin's Shinbo reference. Like I said, Clannad is worthy of most it's praise and KyoAni has a great track record but I still can't put it ahead of studios that have made great(er) works even if they've also made bad ones. Definitely not Bones though.

I'm still of the opinion that the anime review was done by someone who simply didn't "get" the anime so yes, I think it is VERY biased. and since it got an A- and that's a good grade wouldn't that make KyoAni a GREAT animation company? - I'm picky on voices (yes even Japanese ones) and the anime listed fit the characters and animation PERFECTLY! - just look at Haruhi and Kyon

icecreamsnow 7760 cr points Send Message: 34 / M / UK Offline	Permalink Reply Quote Posted 8/11/12 I think with discussions like these, animation companies tend to specialise in certain areas, eg Sunrise with mecha, and "better" usually means "I like their work more" For example, it's easy for me to picture a K-On pitch, where they were told they'd be getting the look and feel of Haruhi, with the personailty of Lucky Star. I can't see Kyoto doing a Sin City style cyberpunk look, but I love the crisp, clean look they've developed. Certainly if you look at the average ratings and rankings of shows like Haruhi, Lucky Star, K-On, Clannad they've all been very well received.
