Yasuhiro Takemoto Appreciation Thread

Why'd this have to happen just as I was re-watching Hyouka ffs.

With Kigami gone they need Ishidate, even if you don't like the guy's direction.

;_;7

No wonder these shows sucked

I haven't watched a single one of his works. Which should I start with?

On a pure technical level, Takemoto's layouts have this distinct awareness of space and three-dimensionality that no other director in the industry has. when Takemoto storyboards an episode, the locations always suddenly feel...right. like you've stepped into the location yourself. His visual vocabulary is imo something that is unmatched within Kyoani and maybe the industry at large too. while things like meticulous character acting were learned from Kigami, the use of diverse visual styles to punctuate slice-of-life scenes is something that in my opinion, the entire studio picked up from Takemoto

>hyouka S2 never because muh honour means nobody else is allowed to direct it ever again
I know we weren't gonna get an S2 anyway but damn.

The only kyoani shows I liked were SAO, Mahouka, and Oreimo

RIP
Who else has been confirmed dead?

And on an even broader level, as a member of the studio's board of directors, Takemoto always had a big say in the kinds of stories the studio told. For example, Dragon Maid was distinctly Takemoto's project, to the point where he wrote original scripts for three episodes. Those episodes more or less epitomize the stories he's best at sharing - while other directors like Yamada are all about coming-of-age and change, Takemoto's shows are always about finding the beauty of the status quo and opening your eyes to the magic of the world that already exists before you. You see it in Dragon Maid's unlikely family bonds. You see it in his opus Hyouka, which can be summed up in a few words as the joy of existing.

But above all, one thing I keep coming back to with Takemoto is that with his passing, he leaves behind a huge legacy of mentorship. He was a frequent teacher at Kyoani's in-house animator school and influenced more or less everyone who's passed through the studio. His final legacy at Kyoani was mentoring Takuya Yamamura during his debut as series director on Tsurune. Even when he wasn't directly involved with an episode, you could feel Takemoto's style through the entire show. Takemoto was inspiring the next generation until the very end and it's safe to say his influence will be felt at the studio for a long time to come.

Thank you, Takemoto.

Naomi Ishida and Sachie Tsuda. Everyone has been ID'd so we'll probably hear more in the coming days.

I remember one of the major reasons I loved Hyouka was the story didn't end up devolving into some pointless love triangle for petty drama. It was about a group of friends getting along and appreciating the lives they have with each other. It was so refreshing to finally watch a story that could stand up on its own premise without resorting to gimmicks lesser studios depend on to keep people watching. Big RIP for you Takemoto. You will be missed.

Guys, how do I wake up from this nightmare?
I tried pinching my arm, but it doesn't work...

>opening your eyes to the magic of the world that already exists before you
I feel like Kyoani as a studio excelled in this regard. With projects like Hyouka, Free! and Euphonium I always felt a sense of freshness toward things that normally may not be that exciting. The studio and Takemoto especially had a knack for showing normality through a lens of bright eyed wonder that you couldn't help but get sucked into.

Fuck. I never saw Hyouka but I really loved Disappearance. I assumed the worst after he wasn't confirmed safe at the same time as the others but it still makes me sad.

Rest in peace, Takemoto-san.

I have a huge respect for Hyouka, and everything I knew about the guy pointed to him being a good person. He'll be sorely missed, but I'll remember his work forever. Have yet to see Free or FMP, now's as good a time as ever.

I really want Gatoh torturing Aoba Shinji or at least being the one pulling the rope at the execution day

Also check out Hibike!Euphonium. He didn't direct it, but it is also beautiful nonetheless.

I know it's both too soon and too late to say phew.
But phew.

Yup, I've seen it all except for the new movie. Takemoto directed episode 7 of S1, and storyboarded episode 2 of S1.

May he rest in peace.
He was a great man, and a great director, working on a lot of shows I thoroughly enjoyed.

Anime/manga industry fans are lunatics. Not all obviously. But ya know

Another odd thing: I remember years ago looking at the building on Street View, out of curiosity, after seeing it mentioned on Yea Forums: it really is such a nondescript building given what is produced there.
Now it's a place of terror and death.

He wasn't an anime/manga fan, he was a video game fan.

Kyoani staff can be sorted like this
>Ishihara - mentor
>Takemoto - best TV director
>Yamada - best movie director
>Ishidate - best episode director
>Kigami - mentor/best animator
>Nishiya - best character designer
>Ishida - best color designer

More than half of them are gone. I can't see them ever recovering from this.

I liked Hatta's idea of replacing it with a park. Would be nice to visit one day.

So who are the senior creative staff left? Is it down to Ishihara?

I hope it inspires them to train a new generation of animators/directors, although I agree modern KyoAni won't be the same without them.

There's people that studied under them and learned what they do. It's not going to be the same but they literally have the backing of millions of people and the entire animation industry. Keep the hope, I'm quite confident they'll be fine.

>Lost their best TV director
>Lost their best color designer
>more losses incoming

You literally got this from reddit.

>Dragon Maid
It's a shame the guy that did the only TV series from them I really liked in the past 6 years had to be one of the ones that didn't make it.

RIP to one of the best directors in the industry. His works had such a positive effect on so many of us its hard to believe he had to go this way. But at least he'll live on through his works and the countless people he mentored and influenced.

The loss of the animation school is deeply troubling. A set of young animators dead or shattered, the mentors, and the system itself.

And the name of that short animation was Haruhi season 3.
People loved Haruhi and Lucky Star when they came out, and Hyouka has always been praised. Disappearance is pretty much universally considered one of the greatest anime movies of the 2000s. Perhaps they're just now learning that all of these works shared a directorial soul, but his works have always been beloved.

We knew this confirmation was all but certain, but it still stings.

link?

Anime directors are really unknown for actual "anime fans", besides the directors which also did anime films or meme directors (you know which). They tend to relate their likeness for the source material, the voice actors or the animation studio instead of the directors.

Where's the goose?

Fuck. This is really hard to process.. Also why isn't this a sticky yet mods?

>muh Hyouka and Takemoto

>There's people that studied under them and learned what they do.
Which also died in the fire user. That's why this incident was so devastating, not only killed masters, but their apprentices as well

They'll need to look outside Kyoani for some experienced staff for all diferent positions in the animation process, while they try somehow to teach new animation students (if the injured aren't able to draw anymore).

Sadly, their "character design" department was completely lost, all masters gone. Whatever it was taught, it can no longer be. So I hope at least one or two students survived, if not, the Kyoani style might be completely lost forever.

Do we know they died in the fire? I know most of the animation was done on the third floor, but they have two other studios and 150 total staff members. Anyway my point was that there will be tons of people lining up to work for them now. Even if it's not the same, they will have people and hopefully resources to spend on trying to get it started again.

This. In another thread it was said that his parents disowned him way before this incident, but how in the fuck was he sustaining a lifestyle and not homeless?

He has left behind a wife and a seven year old daughter.
Heart breaking. And this is just one of 34 victims.

I think it's also that popular directors tend to trend toward those with a really obvious "auteur" style, like Yuasa or Shinbo (even if he doesn't really direct) or even Yamada, while directors like Takemoto or Mizushima are (well, were in this case) more versatile (ie. Lucky Star vs Hyouka vs FMP) but less easily memeable into "haha Yamada leg fetish" or "there's the Shinbo head tilt", despite making arguably better work.

>Sadly, their "character design" department was completely lost, all masters gone. Whatever it was taught, it can no longer be. So I hope at least one or two students survived, if not, the Kyoani style might be completely lost forever.

Ikeda left Kyoani in 2014 so if there really is no survivors among the injured, we might have a functionally extinct situation.

Too easy, he has to suffer as much as his victims.

>die while being in coma
Too peaceful, they should torture him for the rest of his natural life, without going overboard.
I.e. keep him alive for another, what 60-70 years, under constant torture, like, "please just kill me" levels of torture.
And every day, they should bring a knife up to his neck, and slice it, only for it to be a blunted edge, that didn't so much slice him, as drive the perpetual fear of living for over half a decade more under constant torture, without rest.

Thank you user

>Yamada
>much less talented than Takemoto
It's the other way around.

20 Seiki Denki Mokuroku. Pretty sure it was in preproduction at Studio 1 so either it was lost in the fire or safe if everything was on the server

Wait, japanese news look like that?

wow...

It is over

It was never confirmed if they were even making it,mthat along with the possibility of jc staff doing the second season

One way or the other I think pitting directors against each other in this thread is in bad taste

What are the chances it might still be worked on and finished? I sure pretty low but I want to have hope. I was really looking forward to it.

was it ever confirmed that Kyoani was working on Dragon Maid S2? It might've been another studio

they were working on the Violet Evergarden movie, a new Free movie, a new Hibike Euphonium project (unconfirmed if movie or TV series), and a new series based on one of their light novels, 20 Seiki Denki Mokuroku.

How do we benefit from him suffering?

All because of this Aoba piece of shit?

Honestly can't argue with this. That faggot did much worse than Squealer

Depends how many of the victims were actively working on it probably. I doubt we'll see anything new announced about it for at least a year.

Correct, it was gonzo who did the first season, xebec(now sunrise beyond) did the 4th

VEG and Free are both done and will release on schedule. 20 Seiki Denki Mokuruoku was probably under construction at the studio and is going to be very difficult to rescue, along with Hibike S3 which they had just announced a few days prior I think.

This is all shit i got off Yea Forums so it's probably all incorrect.

aside from dragon maid, dude was a godsend.

That's about the data recovered, not about the people who would have been there to teach how to create them. The thing with art is that sure, if you just copy the end result you can get a rough approximation of what it was you were looking at and even make similar things, but only the experienced can teach the methodology of the techniques to deeply understand and really create in that mindset.

Squealer had a valid and respectable cause, despite his means.

Some more closure for the cruelty he want out of his way to inflict on innocent people. There needs to be severe punishment for atrocities of this level.

Anyone know if there's been any news about a possible change to their standards for building's fire codes and anything about other studios/businesses changing their security or updating their buildings since this whole incident?

The only certain thing here is that Kyoani's design in the future will be a whole different thing at all. And they'll need to polish this new style with the years just like the old staff did since Key period. (Key > K-on > K esuma bunko period)

So you'll probably see average designs in the next works. Yamada and Ishihara are both directors, I think they can draw as well but it's not their strong point. They need to hire two or three really good designers and animators now.

>the arsonist got to enjoy a comfy life being a NEET parasite
>will probably die peacefully in his coma
It's not fair

It gives closure and satisfaction to the people that want to see him suffer i.e. the whole of japan and all the weeaboos in the rest of the world.

Akiko Takase lives, they say.

TIMOTEEEEEIII

Torturing a puppy gives satisfaction to the people that want to see puppies suffer. Is that also a reasonable way to spend our resources?

Yamada has done key animation even recently. She can definitely draw, but I don't know about character designs.

Most of the animators weren't even there I believe since there's at least 3 other buildings, I know what you mean though. Hopefully it's actually faithful and not quality

Having to feed him, keep him alive costs public money. All scum like him deserve to be tortured for a while and then eliminated.

If the puppy killed 34 people and injured 35 more then yeah, we would spend resources to put it down.

I think we're forgetting that Yamada is a big fish now because of her anime movies, and maybe she don't want to go back to an anime series but directing anime films only now. What if she left KyoAni because she wants to keep directing movies and she goes to other studio instead for achieving that?

>kick the bucket soon
And spill the gasoline all over the place?

It feels like this has brought out the edgy side of so many people. It's amazing how many people have brought up torture in the threads about him.

Takase is alive alongside most of the VEG crew. They'll manage somehow.

Deterrence is an excellent anti-motivator.

If everyone knows there are teams specialized in live capture and that you'll be carefully skinned alive publicly over the course of a month for crimes of this degree, less people will commit them.

>but they'll just kill themselves quickly after the crime
Equip every commercial and industrial building with multiple tasers, mandatory suppression training for all employees stationed near building thresholds.
Wouldn't even cost that much to implement and it'd likely stop damn near 100% of terrorism preemptively.
Fire alarms and fire extinguishers are mandatory in most western counties, we can go a step further and provide more safety measures appropriate to the age.

One thing I've been wondering is even if there are survivors and even if they're relatively capable of still animating, would they be too traumatized to even go back to the industry? I fee like that's something being glossed over by a lot of people in regards to them rebuilding.

How is requesting the torture of a mass murderer edgy? It’s literally the opposite of edge. Go and stay go with your canned moralism.

Hyouka had a rough start but the school festival was one of the best things that has happened in anime.

>Kigami and Takemoto are now up there far away from this painful world
I remember watching that funny TSR extras. IIRC Kigami was harping Takemoto about the money owes him.

Okay softie, have your (You)

I guess Japanese people do have that worker's mentality. And of course physically that's an issue.

Don't we still have Akiko Takase?

Burning alive is one of my worst fears so no :(

Noriyuki Kitanohara was the "man-for-everything" at KyoAni, and he left with no burns, he can carry on the studio by himself if need it.

So it was Bose 901. I don't know what I'd do if I had to listen to those...

That and plane/car crash user.

Kys.

Calling for anyone to be tortured is edgy. Regardless of the morality of it, for your own sake I hope you understand that most people don't think that way.

Takase is a beast but I can't see her be as flexible as Nishiya. Nishiya really shines the most because of the range of styles that he can implement in his works.

>How is requesting the torture of a mass murderer edgy?
Going on about how badly people want someone to suffer certainly sounds edgy to me. At least more edgy than the ones that just want to laugh at Kyoani fans here.

he definitely got a taste of his own medicine. call it poetic justice; he may well die from the fire he started. That's what you get.

No. Franxx director is great. Imaishit on the other hand..

You're right, but deterrence and prevention can go hand-in-hand.

Without a doubt, prevention is ideal but it requires a lot of good observation to identify these people (and what about people falsely identified?); further, some of them may never present anything observable prior to a crime, which is where deterrence and workplace safety comes in.

Yea Forums has found the motive.

We torture people for MUCH less around the world, and have since the beginning of time. Welcome to reality faggot.

I remember this. Does anyone have these extras? I would love to see their location scouting in Hong Kong.

She's literally credited as a key animator on the Eupho Finale movie that came out April of this year.

I hope so then.

Why does he look so fucking ugly?

The bitter sweet memory of Takemoto makes this a timeless classic in my opinion.

If I had a good PC right now, I would totally make a tribute to this guys work. He deserves the recognition.

I don't think he should necessarily be tortured, but he definitely should get a swift public hanging.

I think it's a bad picture.

Plus, what are only attractive people allowed to do anything?

I wish for the suffocating kind of public hanging instead. Having his neck break is not enough.

I feel you, I finished S1 of Euphonium an hour before the fire and I haven't even been able to start S2.

It's really daunting that the ones left at this studio have a large shoe to fill. With Kigami most likely gone, Kitanohara and Ishidate need to step up. Takase will most likely be filling in to do a lot of Character Designs soon.

I swear if the fatso arsonist isn't killed i'm going nucleeaaar. I'm sick of fucking criminals being set free in my shithole third world country

As long as it doesn't cost the state any more money to take care of him that way, it's good. Someone posted that the Japanese capital punishment was a kind of mental torture where you never knew when you were going to be executed, but that just wastes too much resources on these kinds of shitheads.

I'm not against the death penalty, it's just a lot of the posts read like emos talking about how much they'd torture their bullies, which gave the edgy feeling.
A public hanging would be fun though and I'd probably watch it even though I'm not a huge Kyoani fan.

He won't be set free, but he will be either taken care of and fed in a comfy prison for many years before his execution or die peacefully in his coma.

Oh yeah I get that too, the problem with torture is that on the one hand the information you get is unreliable anyway and on the other for cases like this, you're wasting an incredible amount of state resources to sustain this one douche. In the US, a typical prisoner costs $31,000/year, and that's without the added expense of torture or humane Japanese prisons.

No. Compartmentalise it and memory-hole

Even if they hypothetically set him free (which is not going to happen) some mad Kyoanifag would track him down and beat him so hard he'll die for real this time.

Disappearance is a masterpiece above most works in this medium and any other medium.

I loved Disappearance. It feels so emotionally charged even though there's tons of scenes with little dialogue. Next time I watch I'll be sure to think of him and how his life and understanding of things influenced all the little details in that film I love so much. Rest in peace.

If by beat him you mean burning the fatso alive, then yes.

Not even worth thinking "what if", the guy either is executed or rots in jail for the rest of his life, in complete solitude. (Assuming he won't die now in the hospital)

>the added expense of torture
I doubt it'd cost them anything. I'm sure plenty of people would do it for free in this case. The main problem is that people have done much worse than him and like them I'd only expect the death sentence when it's obvious who did it like in this case.

That's because Trump's foreign policy has been pretty much entirely isolationist outside of the odd drone strike or tweet whenever a politically expedient attack in a foreign country happens.

not him, but I'm gonna start Hyouka out of respect. It's been waiting on my list forever.

I like the pace of the rest of the show, but don't think the beginning was boring

Yeah sure, not like the media doesn't run over itself to frame whenever he can read off a teleprompter or whenever he pulls some drone strike as great things.

So all of the current projects are RIP unless they are finished, right? My guess is many will retire because of trauma and respect but we can safely assume Kyoani can only come back as an entirely new studio.

>下着の勧低禁行がどの疑いで退柚
Did he stole underware or public exhibition?

Just make sure you go in with the right expectations. It’s not a slice of life coming of age story, nor is it an episodic mystery show, it’s both. Something more than the sum of its parts.
Wow that sounded enormously faggy

Man, this one is hitting me hard. I knew he was dead when they said they couldn't find him after the fire but I hoped he wasn't.

He made so much I really enjoyed, and I'm so bummed out he can't create more anime. He did more in his career than most, and he left a real impactful legacy, I think, but the fact his future was robbed and the works he made end here is a really bitter pill to swallow.

I guess I mourn the loss of his talent more than anything, I think. The entire thing is a shitshow of depressing proportion but this man made so many anime I really, really enjoyed, and am sad that this is the end. Still, I guess I take comfort in knowing that he won't be forgotten. That his work has and will continue to inspire more people.

I wonder if Takemoto went to Heaven or Hell

Catharsis. It's not right, but that's what it is.

KyoAni let Yamada direct her own series when she was fucking 24 years old. It was a huge gamble and she has to know she owes them.

Thank you

From what I heard capital punishment in Japan is already a kind of torture where they don't tell you your date of execution until the day it happens. IRRC the average length before execution was 7 years, which would be around a quarter of a million dollars at the minimum.

She already sucked plenty of dicks for that

I loved Kamisama no Memochou, and based on what you said, it's probably pretty similar. Slice of Life gets boring fast, but I feel at peace watching it. It's not like Toradora where it's heartwrenching or JoJo where it's full of suspense and fun.

Worth it, I would have even gave the whole studio to her just for that.

Attached: 216196.jpg (320x400, 67K)

P-p-proof?

Holy shit look at that neck! No wonder Liz to Aoi Tori looked like that.

To be clear, the arsonist did commit multiple acts of torture. We don't talk about it much these days, but setting fire to an occupied building is nigh the most heinous crime known to man. It's the cruelest form of mass murder.

>KyoAni let Yamada direct her own series when she was fucking 24 years old.

Honestly, the industry (not just anime, anything involving otaku) need to increase security. Even if it's just a 1% of fans that are homicidal, they need to take measures against them.

Hey K-On was good. She kind of just went on to do variations on the same thing after that, but you know.

That's what happens in those terrible stickies where crossboarders come to gawk, but this thread has mostly been pretty respectful about the man and his work.

Kyoto Animation is much closer to a painter’s home studio on this arbitrary spectrum than an accounting firm. I’m sure it never really occurred to them that something like this was possible.

After the concrete girl case and reading things like Mii inside the Box I can't really feel that when he didn't go out of his way to cause suffering. I'd choose the fire over either of those situations.
The scale of the reaction here is just because of the target of the attack, not the attack itself.

I play in an orchestra and I took conducting lessons in college and there’s no orchestra without the conductor. Sure, they can play the music without a conductor, and good orchestras will play well, but literally every input and impulse of the music is imparted by the conductor. Not only during performance, but they are in charge during rehearsals, and ask for certain things that will be different from other conductors for the same passage of music.

Doing justice to decent source material can still be difficult. I've seen enough cases were it goes wrong. I doubt any director will make something you hate good but a great director can elevate something you like even higher.
Also in quite a few cases he was also involved in scripting and storyboarding, which would give him even more influence over the end product we see.

Man, so many good ones. You never appreciate something until it's gone. Thank you, Takemoto-san.

I guess edge is only ok when we do it

Adults go missing a lot too. Ever felt like just leaving your job and everyone you know behind? Well a lot of people did, they were all reported missing only to turn up in some other city doing something else a couple of years later

What are the chances of them hiring outsiders into Japan in an effort to rebuild? Surely there are many loyal fans out there that would want to be a part of their comeback, if it happens.

Is this credible? I want to throw up if it's real. He's literally the best KyoAni has.

>>Haruhi seasons 1 and 2
/10 nostalgia bait
I hope the only reason you put this in was to fit with the rest of the thesis, because there is no way anyone could seriously think this.
Season 1 especially is still great.

>that tweet
Wow.

The fire is planned by Konami so that they can release their new archetype Dragon Maid without getting sued.

its a good idea but a more stable country like Israel should try it first

She was allowed to direct at 24 in a society completely obsessed with face and seniority. Something's fucking up there's no question about it. They were letting her direct episodes at 23 fresh out of college. That just doesn't fucking happen in Japan.
The anointed messianic Yamakan got his first stab when he was 33 and he was Kigami's protege for years.

They already have a dedicated korean slave camp concentration

They don’t even have enough source materials. Same for haruhi S3. Now shut up

disappearance was so fucking good

Lucky Star is one of the biggest cultural tragedies of the 21th century and I don't like his face. These are my thoughts.

Heh, this. It's like praying to God. Useless because there is no God. When dying you should only rationally think of all the good shit you did.

he can apologize better by abolishing laws putting people in jails for drawn lolis

reddit translated the news. It can be from anywhere.

Yup
This article is appeared in a local newspaper in Japan.
I think It's the reliable source of information

I hate celeb worship. This is no different than normalfags crying over actors like heath ledger or future death of Tarantino, Spiegel and so on. You turned into normalfagism, Yea Forums

Well maybe they saw what happened with Yamakan and decided to try something different.

Wow so kyoani has lost not only their best director, animator and colorist, also their best character designer. How will they ever recover from this? Their new "talent" is godawful and bland

If we like the things these people created and then they die, we don't get any more of the things they create. Even if you don't care about them as a person, it still affects you.

:(

Literally just like the shitposters here. Someone should erase those.

I have no words for how retarded this post is, just take your (you) and go

No one cares nigger

Fucking edgy man. Based!

Fuck, Hyouka is in my top 5.
Sad days

Because she was a savant. When the composer for A Silent Voice talked about her, he mentioned he was surprised by how deeply artistic she was.

>Kazumi Ikeda
>Nishiya
>Kigami
>Takemoto
Too soon. This is not only a big blow to KyoAni but to the Animation industry itself.

>Still no sticky
We should do like Yea Forums with Peter O'Toole, posting his ghost asking for a sticky everyday until he got one (2 years later, but he got one)

You have shit taste

guy looks like my uncle who died in an accident too

Sticky needs to happen when all the names are out. But god damn, does this already hurt.

Holy fuck is that Otakon?

Wow man you really roasted me.
I'm sure there's an SnK thread up somewhere for you to go post in.

Honestly if we got a sticky we'd be flooded with crossboarding teenage edgelords cheering his death. So I'm okay with no sticky for now.

>Nishiya and Kigami dies
>No Sakuga MAD to look into like the old days
I hate this.

I have good taste unlike you so I wouldn't post in such garbage threads

F

this is a yikes so far, just stop while you're behind

is this the tranny cope general?

After looking more closely, its Otakon

>ishida dead
>tsuda dead
>takemoto dead
>nishiya dead
>ohno dead

29/34

Is there a full confirmed list somewhere?

Does this mean more people died than survived?

No
It's the people who identified the name among the dead
