Ugly graphics, your budget a little, your study not incompetent, critical as it is often used in the anime discussion. Only critics as it is often less useful, as it is less specific, less familiar with the background problem, or obviously seeing erroneous of the current condition of the anime industry. Weekend JOI This time destined to explain the various misconceptions about the anime industry that is expected that in the future we can improve the quality of the discussion of this industry.
Most of the data used to carry out this article has been taken from different industry interviews and reports from 2016, you can see themselves at the end of the article.
Ugly graphics
These critics are most frequently used for the series whose character is not handsome/beautiful, instead of criticizing amateur direction, editing chaotic, bad box speeds, storyboard is too flat, and several other technical issues. From my experience, the same argument is often used also in the manga and games.
Global fan base of this industry still do not understand how to do classified reviews for viewing an anime. There are still many who use static images to show the ugly animation, or use the frames between medium to show the ugliness that you can only see when you specifically pressed the pause to look at it.
This is understandable because world-wide, the critics and observers of anime that focuses on the production and manufacturing techniques are relatively few. All our staff JOI does admit that they cannot provide the quality and opinion criticism of most anime production techniques.
I demand all animated audiences in the production process, but I would appreciate that they were given more specific to critics. For points in the first paragraph there is better critique as "does not fit the character design" and "in between it made it seem very obvious." From the visual is undoubtedly the first to realize the audience, of course, is the first time that the reason for criticism as the spectators feel less comfortable with their viewing experience.
The design is different or worse than the original work
The reason for anime production requires animated character designer in the staff is a design that originally came from a static image is often expensive made after animation. Illustrator LN and the manga in general, you can use the complex data in its character due to its complexity can be adjusted depending on the page where the character appears.
It is only to animate these details in order to remain coherent which will take a long time to be made, so it is necessary to adjust the character design. So for those of you who have seen much anime since then realize that even in the action series despite the fact that 80% of the Screentime episodes usually contains the Planton/stand speak Sweet, some even with the shot away or close-ups to hide the movement of the mouth in order to save even more.
Therefore study with character designs are simplistic, but distinktif as Gainax or trigger usually have an active character moving and pulling action. The same happens with DEEN comedy series which are often out of the models, but good comic rhythm and very expressive character.
Poor quality due to lack of budget
Criticism is not all bad, more funds obviously can improve or at least maintain the quality of your personal production work. But the main obstacle in the quality of production is work schedules are often unrealistic and deadlines are very tight, and this is a common problem in the production of anime that often the program should be in line with the series of promotional efforts are certainly not cheap. As strong as for time to ensure quality and pre-production is negligible.
The adjusted production program is influenced by many factors, but often this is caused by the time of marketing and production of merchandise already established several months before production so that the release cannot be negotiated again.
Anime production budget tends to be constant for all studies, its high quality series commonly produced by highly motivated production staff (as-made man with a single Madhouse blow) or have a good handling (as Kyoani were only doing 1-2 work a year)
Ugly story because the author of incompetence
A unrealistic calendar effect as described above. Scripts will happen there is time for an additional review or not to be adjusted again. Sometimes also the producer Committee and/or production required a certain history or concept, which is often not in line with the plans of other members of the production staff.
What if you never see the staff who are in charge of the composition of the series on the list of production staff, but you are also able to influence it. Composition series task to determine which stories will be presented the anime as well as the form in the Division episode. In general, this position is carried out by the director or writer, and the bad composition can usually produce a dirty story, too slow or too hasty.
Of course, for an adaptation of the material source possibility that the story is not very good. Indeed, the quality standards of history could be higher so history becomes a "treatment" of professionals, but not everyone can make a quality product of a material that is well below par.
The study why not make a [title/sequel]?
Note that most anime is not fully working the study series that they have. It could be a half a season through subcontracted to another study. General survey asked by the Committee to work on a series production, and this work is usually given to the study with competitive lower rates. Due in Tokyo there are only about 500 anime studio, the competition for the project gets very fierce. Unless we are talking about a great studio like Kyoani and Sunrise, you can usually get a better deal or relatively free of interference by the production committee.
So is the misconception that "Studio can pull out the good can certainly do a comedy and action," some study has its own culture that make them suitable for a particular genre, as Madhouse action with its quality and DEEN that can still be trusted to make a comedy. Counting a study working on a specific genre based on "good graphics" was counterproductive.
For now I have here in the first place only the points discussed on weekend JOI this moment, in the future we will discuss points such as if Larisnya BD show the success of a series (not too much), the influence of streaming and international fan base in the anime industry (very important) and why a particular genre in a way too much in the market.
