Sora no Woto Ideal vs Actuality

From the spectacular art of Kishida Mel to the moe blobs of K-ON!, observers can’t help but notice something of a gap between ideal and actuality in the case of Sora no Woto…

    The original illustration of the character looks so much better than the anime version.

    .... refer back to phailness of valkyria chronicles... the anime was horrid, the world isnt always fair, the game was awesome though, own it in japanese and love it to death

    but i dono, it just looks different, but i believe it may have potential

    They just dropped the original (and superior) design in favor of possibly more $ to them. This is how they think:

    K-On = big ca$h
    so
    K-On moe blob style = big ca$h,
    thus
    Any other anime + moe blob style = big ca$h.

    But tbh I don't think that the same style would fit every anime in the world, especially not here.

    Yeah, too bad, but you're right. Just check, where was the K-ON!, and where is now. Was good for a moment, but forgettable. It doesn't count anymore to make a good, evergreen animu, just moe shit for the big ca$h.

    Also, totally agree with HyperKnuckles.

    This is an anime about blowjobs in army while K-On is more about handjobs in highschool. Totally different!

    @darkrockslizer:

    especially not here? previews said this anime is about the life of 5 girls inside a fortress who plays music together (as it has been hinted in the title). yeah, the info regarding this anime isn't very detailed yet so far. so... isn't it a little too soon to judge the art style? well, i assume that you are not the kind of person who loves or hates just everything in relation with k-on!

    I actually enjoyed VC, though I will admit the original art is quite a bit better (but then only a huge budget permits such art to be properly transferred to an anime)

    Eromanga the anime was just fine really. I mean, we all know the longer books/visual novels are usually superior to their shorter anime counterparts, but it doesn't automatically make the anime "crap"

    I don't think you realize that blobtastic animation is automatically equated to crap. Noticed how haruhi's second season was rendered in blob like animation style.

    Notice how many complaints of severe quality decline there are. Now notice how every anime that has ever used this animation style has been cutting corners. Now notice why we're accusing the animation style of being crap.

    It's the way they cut corners which pisses people off. Anime used to be something I could defend as an artistic medium for animation, but when it does this, I have nothing to say for it.

    Pretty much this, 12:03 Anonymous.

    Lack of budget means lack of full-scale and variety of animators, directors, art and concept design etc. This effectively causes corner-cutting due to lack of necessary high-level (or depending on how you see it, low-level if we're talking depth) talents to design and in turn, animate.

    And with the known concept of unpaid animator internships, you think it'll do much in terms of quality assurance? I believe the current economy limits and/or crushes whatever motivation potential animators have from the start and may contribute to the recent CUALITY (sic).

    And then with lack of budget, means lack of RoI (Return of Investment) due to reduced quality, people keeping to TV releases and not DVD sales with RAWS, subs etc on the release, worse economy, low successful family creation rates, reduced birth rate, potential limited to the aged to produce the same things repeatedly repackaged...

    Simply put: Something has to break this endless loop; no matter what, no matter how. This is the only thing which will save the industry as a whole.

    So then, what is the cause for the decline? Current economic conditions?
    I see what you mean when low budget = low quality, but this isn't necessarily the case. Shaft does seem pretty good stuff despite the budget they had, for example, Bakemonogatari.

    Although... I wish they'd do different marketing strategies instead of trying to solely rely on DVD sales

    There's really no difference other than the embellishments, if every anime or animation in general was done at the highest quality then the costs would skyrocket why do you think early animation in the 80's was crappy? Aside from lack of computer help. The first comic stripes were printed in black and white.

    No offense but if no one gets it then they are about retarded, and this Sankaku Complex article is kind of retarded too. This is really news?

    ``Also the eyecolor is wrong... Everything becomes a K-ON! clone now.`´

    Fail, since when a clone is made by the same creator!!!¿?, guess it is just a familiar to k-on art-style nothin more/less. so you fail in calling this cloned.

    I like the idea. I mean anime about music and military?
    Great. Give me this now.
    But when I see this pictures I only can say. Oh no another K-On clon.
    Ok. Pictures look nice but I only see that they are K-On alike.
    I hope for good anime series but I know that they serve us only more moe...

    Its by the same studio, naturally the style would be quite the same. Compare Gundam Seed with its earlier work of the same studio, like Fafner, scryed, the similarities is even greater.
    As long as the storyline sticks to the (good)original work, and the animation is decent, I have no complaints.

    Ya know, compared to some of the stuff out there, K-ON's artistic style isn't so bad.

    It's worlds better than the whole One-piece/ Bleach/ CLAMP trinity of leggy distortion, which work much better in the original manga.

    K-ON's crime was in it's lackluster depth, and not in it's distinctive, yet still comprehensible style. If this series actually has a plot, it could be good.

    Oh please. One reason One Piece is popular worldwide is because of its art direction (accuracy to the manga being another); The author knows his series is bizarre and doesn't hold back in making surreal designs.

    On the other hand, K-ON was specifically created as a cute.. No, moeblob fetish which instantly killed any interest for the casual anime watcher. It turns to outright perplexity and frustration to see how candy-coated shit catches on at all.

    calm down, some people like one piece, some like what K-on has to offer. Its matter of tastes thats all. There is no point in arguing about which is better or worse.

    The original art is quite unique and, at the very least, detailed.
    But the K-on ripoff art is (in my and seemingly many others' opinions) bland and visually uninteresting.
