I'm glad they haven't gone for the whole CG character animation for the dancing and movement with the music. Even though some complain about lip-syncing issues, I definitely prefer the usual animation style for these kind of scenes. CGs are just too uncanny for me, though some pull it off well if the whole series was CGed like Arpeggio of Blue Steel and Knights of Sidonia Edit: to those wondering what i mean by uncanny CG, I usually use Love Live as an example. That change between animation and CG is glaringly obvious.
Meikyu1 Lol, Sunrise can't even give Gundam, their franchises flagship, a decent constants animation, of course Love Live would received the same treatment
It still mind boggles me that Sunrise couldn't do hand-drawn animations for the dance sequence in Love Live and instead went with the shortcut of using celshade CGI, when a smaller studio like Satelight can do something this good in Symphogear and Macross Delta.
well both are trying to sell different things Sunrise is trying to sell their idol games through their anime, and they already have the CGI tech from the games so why not use what they have to show what they really want to sell While the people behind Symphogear are only really trying to sell this original anime series and everything else is just extra. Same with Macross I believe.
Animating 9 dancers is harder than animating a duo or trio like most Satelight shows do. It's why the A-Rise or Saint Snow performance scenes in LL are the ones that get super fluid hand-drawn animation (like this: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-xsXv_7LYv2A.html) while the actual main characters are stuck with the CGI
@@RariettyC Even if its a duo of singers this is just overkill in every single thing, how tf Satelight managed to have the budget for this AND STILL make top tier animation on every single episode. Mind blowing
Well, America and Europe can actually be very creative and funny (Adventure Time, Regular Show, Rick and Morty, etc), when it comes to cartoons, but when it's about putting into your cartoons visual quality, gorgeous design, alternative music and going in deep Japan steam-rolls them, even Disney before they went full 3D can be easily matched by many anime shows, I mean, shall we really make a VS between Disney princesses and the Sympho-girls in terms of character development, combat skills and actual real-life problems? No, I think not (although it seems like RWBY, which isn't Disney, can give them a run for their money).
I would say they pushed it a little by GX which was still good. But AXZ and XV just regressed character development especially Tsubasa's all to have her and others learn the same lesson again about not being a sword and how songs can help people. Yeah, Symphogear was good until GX. AXZ and XV unfortunately tipped it over the edge into mediocre. Mot bad but not especially great either unlike the first 3 series.
@@JustAnotherPerson4U It's pretty ironical how most people have the exact opposite opinion about AXZ and XV haha I guess that just proves the number one rule about Symphogear: "The more you think about it, the less fun you have. Just sit down and enjoy the action" It's a silly anime, that embraces its silliness with over the top action and visuals. The plot is nothing incredible, we all know that, but hey, if a wanted a serious plot, I wouldn't be watching this hahaha (Hope this reply doesn't cause any negative feelings)
@@JustAnotherPerson4U agreed with the character development part, especially in xv They hindered it badly and focus on hibiki being a god slayer And the amalgam along with the final battle is quite rushed Yet symphogear have a great concept and musics
Correction A Tsubasa Concert where something bad happens...which is all of them (Her solo in S1 counts cause there was Noise fight happening the same time, doesn't matter if it wasn't AT the concert)
Live scene from Symphogear suits sunset very well. I remembered Kanade-san. やはりシンフォギアのライブには夕日が似合いますね。まさに逆光のシャワー。 奏さんを思い出すけど、マリアさんが楽しそうに歌ってるのを見れただけでも、この シーンには大きな価値があります。
beautiful scenery:yup beautiful characters:yup beautiful music:I dare anyone to find better music I only wish I was at that concert and I think I heard a sound effect from lyrical nanoha which nana mizuki also had a role in
I still listen to this song. I even listen on my radio car using cd. Idk why i never get bored anything that Nana Mizuki sing. Especially with Yoko Hikasa. Their voice is so strong.
