And nothing of value was lost.

>>no weeb land Indonesia

Except for that certain Asian anime convention

AFA Indonesia is dead now.

every AFA is in Singapore now.

That's sort of expected but extremely disappointing.

Kalafina died? RIP

all their songs sound same. just like Sawano. you listen to 1, you listen to everything.

Basically, Kalafina group is dissolved.

Philippines is the third biggest consumer of animeshit
Even overthrew their government for cancelling VoltesV

Hikari no Senritsu will always be one of my most beloved OPs.
What about Fiction Junction?
Kajiura might be charging energies for her next project/group.

I wish they could've done the Kimetsu no Yaiba OP.

Kalafina already died when Kajiura left.

All of their members dissolved by acid? RIP

Kalafina is disbanding for good.

I mean bands form and disband all the time.

Does this mean anything for the ending theme of the final Heaven's Feel movie?

It was all because of that manager
.
Hope he/she gets fired. Bastard costed their studio their biggest and strongest money maker

The difference here is that the group effectively disbanded a year ago, but was planning to reunite. Now they have broken up for good.

What happened?

Creative differences

Ok, to those who are lost:
Here's the story

Kalafina and their composer Kajiura Yuki were going strong as and making millions
New studio hired a new manager to manage Kajiura
New manager was kept on pestering her to the point that she inevitably left, citing that they just cannot get along
She went to a rival studio
Kalafina fell into limbo for they are completely useless without Kajiura
For years, people were hoping they would reunite
Now, they confirmed no

By all accounts, the manager ruined everything
But at the end of the tunnel, Kajiura is still alive and still making music and I would continue to hope that Kalafina would reunite only under a different recording studio

Literally who?

Aimer sings those

So we'll see the group Nafilaka soon?

RIP in peace. I like their songs, especially Magia.

Slaine did nothing wrong
youtube.com/watch?v=lVyKLLW3NB0

do we know the identity of the faggot manager?

Despite sounding repetitive most of the time (thanks to Kajiura really, wasting their potential) they have way too many memorable songs. A shame really.

Who gives a shit, let me know when someone important goes out, like Sawano or Hirasawa

I hope Sawano fucks off someday. I'm sick of his trash infesting shows.

but Sawano made the OST for SNK, which is the best OST ever created

YAMANEE
YAMANEE
YAMANEE
YAYEE YAYEE
(repeat a gorillion times)
PROFIT!

>Crying over poor man's Angela
meh

Next year would be the 10th year anniversary of Sora no Woto

I thought voltesV was the face of the bloodless revolution not the direct reason for it.

So no more OPs and EDs with Kajiura music ever again?

If only they didn't introduce that fucking magic eye and actually killed the ShitHime.
So much possibilities and yet it was so fucked up. They literally had magical matter replicator that could give them tons of chicken anytime they wanted and yet they used it for some muh shadowclones mech.
And then they ruined it even more by going "lol parents of MCs did the same things as MCs and everyone is special"
at least it was funny when people tried to decode the ending lyrics only to find out it was utter gibberish from Sawano

Madoka ED is probably the most memorable out of all of those.
Aldnoah was okay.
Every fucking Type-Moon song sounds the same.
The rest are just things that exist.

More and more golden gooses keep getting killed because execs keep getting greedy. Why is this happening so frequently now? It's actually worrying how frequently this is happening all over.

Any other examples?

The biggest one in recent history is kemono friends.

Kemono Friends.
If you wanna look at the Western side, there's Star Wars. That while very obviously is still making money, it's not making nowhere as much as it should be making considering it's motherfucking Star Wars.

>Kajiura is still alive and still making music
Then I don't see any reason to be upset.

Kajiura is the creative force we care about, not Kalafina. She can just stat up a new project.

Does this surprise anyone? They've been on borrowed time since Kajiura had to jump ship. In all honestly they were probably just waiting for their contracts to expire so that they could finally do this and cut ties with the record company.

I still like their live version of Everlasting Song (From 2008 concert)

The frequency hasn't changed, you're just better informed than you used to be. And in all honesty it's far easier to be well-informed today, especially with the amount of information into the previously opaque lives of these professionals is now shared openly and willingly on their social media.

Also Kajiura's manager was probably less about someone trying to curtail her creativity for safe profits and corporate ego, and far more likely the result of nepotism placing someone arrogant, inexperienced and unqualified in a position they had no business being in. That manager was probably just someone's son or nephew and tossed in with a safe, self-directed moneymaker so that his upward mobility would be automatic. It's not an uncommon thing at all, and managing an industry vet who's been around for decades making very consistent and reliable successes is literally the most cushy, do-nothing job possible. That's not a position you earn, it's one that gets handed to you because you're somebody's favourite, because corporate regulations demand you work in the company for at least X number of years before you can be handed your permanent seat on the board next to your dad/uncle.

And then dude somehow managed to fuck it up, probably because his head was stuck too far up his own ass.

Balloon adventures never.

Kajiura does HF with Aimer, not Kalafina. She left Kalafina for over a year now.

LACRIMOSAAAAAA

Kind of regret that I didn't went to their concert when they came to my country, but that time I was quite young anyway.

Thank you for 10 years of music, Kalafina. Their first song Oblivious is still iconic to me till now.

I instead couldnt come to their concert because my dormitory had a curfew and their concert was beyond curfew

Fuck. Listening to Tsuioku right now.

>Sora no Woto
thanks user

Madoka, now that its backing musicians are broken up.

>assuming Magireco will even come out
Liden Films wasn't connected to the Madoka franchise, but it was associated with Sony, right? And with it going bankrupt, who knows what kind of ripple effects that might have? And with rumors about Shaft being in serious trouble, one wonders if Aniplex might be having some major issues now.

Lidenfilms isn't going bankrupt, SUP is disbanding because Ordet, one of its joint holders run by the infamously inept Yamakan, is gong bankrupt. This has zero effect on Aniplex or Shaft.

F

Giving Madoka a sequel hook and then never following through

Who cares, Kajiura was pretty much the entire project by herself and can easily recreate something very similar. The vocalists were good for sure, but you can pretty much replace all of them with other good vocalists and end up with exactly the same band as far as anyone is concerned, and all the instruments were always performed by session musicians anyway.

This.

Do you think Kajiura fucked all these girls?

Kajiura still composes and goes on tour with her band. She also found a new singer to add to FictionJunction.

You better not be dissing Sprinter

What about Yuuki Nanri is she still Fiction Junction as of today, I totally miss her.

Their songs are pretty much the same shit, just like Ali Project.

oh i see now, they made the madoka ED, i loved that one

She also started her solo career, but has been inactive for years now. And with FJ, she's usually separate from the other girls. Maybe her voice doesn't blend very well.

Both Kalafina and Ali Project have a lot of songs that don't sound the same. Unfortunately retards tend to focus on a couple of songs and suddenly every song made before and after is identical.

Ali Project say be the same shit, but they are good shit, that's why other bands start sounding like them.

If only this anime was better.

Reminder that there was more to Kalafina than Anisongs.
youtube.com/watch?v=qoMkBcGmcrc

Didn't Keiko try to trademark the Kalafina name a while back?

Kalafina disbanded. Kajiura has not retired.

Actually VoltesV was cancelled because the government at that time got pressured by catholic feminist group and it backfired because that group did not support his government when it was needed.

She withdrew the application.

I am eternally grateful that I was able to see them live when I went to Japan before they had broken up. The acoustic Christmas concert was magical.

But MagiReco is the Rebellion Sequel.

This is old news though. They just waited until their contracts expire then released a official announcement of their disbandment.

Exactly, it could have been remembered as one of the greats and is now relegated to mobage status

Contracts expired last year when two members left the group.

The Japanese music industry as a whole needs to fucking change. Disbanding Kalafina was a huge blow and even the young rising talents are quitting much sooner than later. That's not a good sign at all.

>even the young rising talents are quitting much sooner than later
Which ones? I know of Yurishii last year and that one other seiyuu who quit this year, any others?

Raise your TrySail.

Where is Ali project now? they haven’t been active for a while.
The big companies are too corrupt they need to manage their own careers or go to smaller companies or bushiroad.

>inb4 TrySail disbands soon too

Oblivious

Sprinter was good too
youtube.com/watch?v=gslbsqYBIt4

Idk if it's comparable, since Kalafina disbanded because Kajiura left after having conflicts with her new manager.

They're not even comparable to Kalafina. TrySail is Claris' replacement/

I don't want knockoff Claris

And I don't want an knockoff of Sphere too.

Yakuza and rape is too prevalent, there needs to be a purge.

Does ANN administration know you post here? What do they think of it?

Who cares what they think.

>ANN
fuck off

Typical Idol bullshit, nothing to see here.

Yakuza numbers are dwindling down anyway and we need full female trains anyway.

It still amazes me that a single movie managed to kill decades of enthusiasm and destroy what was essentially the perfect license. Kemono Friends was just people desperately trying to keep this unexpected meme going long enough to have financial staying power and fucking up, but Star Wars had proven itself countless times as a guaranteed moneymaker where you could license it off to anyone and everyone in any form of media EXCEPT live-action movies without any risk at all because no one will hold any of the extra stuff against the brand's value and they managed to do the one thing that could end the safest, no-effort IP around chasing dreams of yearly record-setting blockbusters.
