CATDOLL: Japanese netizens hotly discuss: What is the most indispensable element of Kyoto Animation?

Kyoto Animation, which is famous for producing many classic and touching animations, has once again become a hot topic among Japanese netizens. The topic of this discussion is "What is the most indispensable element of Kyoto Animation?" Many netizens gave their own answers.

From "Full Metal Panic" to "CLANNAD", and from "The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya" to "Hyouka", Kyoto Animation has always been on the "plot first" route a few years ago, and many of its works still touch people's hearts today. However, in recent years, Kyoto Animation has suddenly changed its style, and has successively launched works such as "Glorious Amajiro" and "Phantom World of Colors" in order to "please otakus". The blind selling of erotica has caused disgust among some old audiences, and also made many people look confused: What happened to Kyoto Animation?

Although transformation is important, Kyoto Animation still cannot be without its most important elements. Let's take a look at the opinions of Japanese netizens:

One of the essential elements: KEY Club

Netizens commented: "KEY is absolutely indispensable. You should know that many excellent works are created by Kyoto Animation changing KEY's games."

"KEY" is a Japanese galgame manufacturer, focusing on heartwarming and tear-jerking works such as "AIR", "KANON" and "CLANNAD". These works have been adapted into animations by Kyoto Animation, and the simple plots instantly resonate with many anime fans and have become works that have influenced their lives.

Essential element 2: Interesting original work

Netizens commented: "For example, Yonezawa Honobu's "Hyouka", if the original work is interesting, the animation can be much fuller."

Kyoto Animation also has many works adapted from light literature, such as "Hyouka" and "Glorious Amajiro". Among them, "Hyouka" has become another signature banner of Kyoto Animation because of its character creation and reasoning plot. The beautiful style and fresh style made the audience who followed the show at that time shine.

Essential element 3: Excellent producers and supervisors

Netizens commented: "Directors such as Ishihara Tatsuya, Yamada Naoko, and Takemoto Yasuhiro all performed well."

Directors of "Chunibyou ga Koi ga Shigeya", "K-ON!", "Yamada Naoko" and "Lucky Star" were "honored" to be named. During their tenure as directors, many excellent works appeared in Kyoto Animation.

Essential Element 4: Do What You Want to Do

Netizens commented: "Put what you want to express in the animation."

This is a necessary accomplishment for an animation worker. In the early days, Kyoto Animation did adhere to this principle, and the animations were full of things that touched people's hearts. However, in recent years, Kyoto Animation has been catering to the needs of otakus and using various welfare animations to fill the numbers, basically losing this shining point that it is proud of. As mentioned at the beginning of the article, many old viewers are disappointed with this.

In the future, can Kyoto Animation stay true to its original aspirations and come out of its impetuous state? We can try to look forward to it.
