To me it would be the same if the fire had never happened; KyoAni is one of two studios I automatically avoid anything they do (the other being Trigger).
Jayden Reed
they will make enough to survive out of pity
Matthew Powell
They have no choice left but to admit they were wrong and invite Yamakan back.
Thomas Hughes
They'll be fine
Caleb Barnes
japan bounced back from two nukes. im sure kyoani can make a comeback
Ryan Reyes
I hope they'll recover but even if they don't I'm sure their legacy will be always remembered. At least I now I'll remember it. I'm really gonna miss them and the passionate effort they always put on their jobs.
>arson killed most of their veteran elite talent Lie, that was the rookie and school building. >their only true cash cow (free) has already been milked dry Lie, free is still selling 10k+ BD and tons of merch. >Violet, while being relatively successful, isn't nearly on par with their past heavy hitters Lie, Violet is by far their most profitable product since Free season 1. The heavy hitters you talk about weren't even their IPs. >most of their other scam awards IPs flop spectacularly Lie, only VEG won their award. Consolation prizes are not awards. >no one will want to work there after what happened Lie, they already hired new people. Turns out their good work ethics and fame as a studio for skilled individuals makes people want to work for them.
Kyoanis ways are very westernized. They don't have the mental fortitude imperial Japan had. They have a lot of female employees and are what some would call SJWs
Andrew Campbell
>Lie, that was the rookie and school building. This isn't true. They lost Takemoto, veteran series and episode director, Ishida, veteran color designer, Kigami, their most veteran animator. They also lost Shoko Ikeda also a veteran animator and also Futoshi Nishiya, character designer and animator that has been working with them since Inuyaha. You have no idea what you're talking about so I won't bother even disproving the rest of your post. You're pathetic

A few important names do not constitute -most- of their vets. Tragic yes, but not a majority nonetheless. This is simple English user, you ought to understand this.
And Watanabe is easily their worst lost, her skills as an art director are going to take ages to replace.
The post specifically said elite vets, which is true. This is simple English user, you ought to understand this.
Benjamin Williams
>They have a lot of female employees and are what some would call SJWs Lol no. Sjw's hate the type of moe anime KyoAni makes because they think it "objectifies women" or some shit.
Isaiah Rivera
Well then, start listing the elite ones instead of mediocre names like Takemoto and Nishiya. It's simple English user, what's the matter?
Carson Wilson
This is how I know you're a troll. Takemoto was easily their best director. Go away, troll.
Nicholas Sanders
The only way they can recover is for them to come back to the loving embrace of Kadokawa. Their "original" novels are trash more often than not. They also should stop stealing ideas from those crappy novels for their own good, look what happens when you let any autist just summit their work and expect them to take it in the ass when you just appropiate their work.
Jordan Morris
>lists only the popular ones regardless of actual skill >gets called out >hurr everyone that knows better than me is a troll You're so basic it physically hurts me bro. Do you even know who Ishida was? Of course you don't.
>look what happens when you let any autist just summit their work and expect them to take it in the ass when you just appropiate their work Was that even confirmed or was it just rumors?
Anthony Martinez
With all that talent gone I can't see Kyoani ever being the same. Takemoto was the worst, he was their only objectively good director. Yamada is a one trick pony, Ishihara's directing is very generic and Ishidate is just awful.
Evan Collins
arson killed most of the veterans false, he killed greats, but the studio has more than enough heart to go on and has been for the past year >free was their one cash cow Imma need sauce on that chief >violet wasn't as successful as their past heavy hitters in what world??? >scam award IP oh, I see, op is mentally ill >no one will want to work there except their school is still running and teaching new talents for the studio
OP take your fucking meds
Ethan Mitchell
>no new IP pfffft
Isaac Hughes
It wasn't confirmed that they did it with the lunatic that set the fire, but they have done it with others in the past.
Nolan Hall
Well they have that electric show coming soon I think
Austin Cox
>Takemoto was the worst, he was their only objectively good director >Ishidate is just awful You have it so wrong it's not even funny.
Kayden Johnson
>in what world??? VEG wasn't a Tsurune but it definitely wasn't a Haruhi.
Cooper Barnes
OP is just a butthurt "ravioli ravioli XD" takemototard.
Ishidate has only directed KnK, a very bad anime, we can all agree on this. And Violet which had great single episodes but the overall direction was disjointed and had pretty bad pacing. He's not a very good director, Violet's success has nothing to do with him.
John Smith
They honestly should just shut it down, if for nothing else out of respect for the dead.
John Myers
Haruhi is not their IP and it's nowhere near VEG numbers in this digital age.
Eli Johnson
>except their school is still running and teaching new talents for the studio Can you prove this? How many new students have they gotten since the incident?
Jackson Perry
On the contrary they should show their respect by keeping their legacy alive to the last breath.
Jeremiah Richardson
>when he misses it's his fault >when he hits it's thanks to somebody else Ah, you're one of those special types. Got it.
Isaiah Nelson
Not him but Haruhi would've completely blown the fuck out of Violet if online video was as big back in 2006. If you want owned IPs Free destroys Violet in terms of popularity and economic success.
Evan Murphy
>when he misses it's his fault >when he hits it's thanks to somebody else
Correct, or are you going to tell me he did all of the animation, sound design, character designs and episode directions?
Oliver Davis
Why are you two actually taking effort of writing rebuttals to what the OP said? He is obviously delusional.
Jose Peterson
Free, the incredibly niche anime made for jap boylovers? Yeah no, it's below an international giant like Violet. >Haruhi would've completely blown the fuck out of Violet if online video was as big back in 2006 My sides.
