I just now learned that Yamada had left KyoAni (little bit late to the party, I know). So let's have a KyoAni thread for old time's sake. Or have KyoAniggers all left the board already?

Don't care about more Free! and Tsurune. I'll tune in when they adapt one of their novels. Maybe the one Takemoto was supposed to direct will be their next new anime project.
Luis Nelson
Yeah, the electric shit right? Goddamn. I remembered back when it was announced, the KyoAnifags were like "this is going to change the industry because it's focused on the showa era" or something. And now it's vaporware.
Justin Ward
Hibike is the next one if I recall correctly the order of announcements.
Jeremiah Taylor
Fujita and Ishidate also left the studio after helping with maidragon S
Gabriel Adams
I don't like how haike looks but I wish her luck.
She made some great works, I don't feel sad that she wants to do something different now.
The people calling it the end of kyoani are the same assholes who celebrated the arson.
Cameron Morgan
That just leaves Ishihara right? The Phantom World director? That's rough.
Luke Sanders
It's the end of KyoAni as we know it
Only Ishihara is left, everyone else of importance is gone, whether they stay afloat or not is irrelevant
Everything changed
Christian Harris
>>>Only Ishihara
Implying?
This man is one of the greatest pillars of the studio.
Besides, the studio is always transforming and striving for higher quality and new avenues.
Every half a decade the look and feel of their work changes dramatically.
Gavin Perry
Oh, there'll be a dramatic change for them this decade as well. Just not a good one.
Henry Roberts
He's not implying anything. He's saying that everyone responsible for getting Kyoto Animation to where it is now is gone, everyone but Tatsuya Ishihara. There will be no more K-Ons, Hyoukas, Haruhis and Violets coming from the studio. They're changing because they're being forced to and not because they want to.
Austin Mitchell
Please have more faith in them.
They built a studio out of a location that had no known talents or an animation scene from zero.
Doing it all again from their current position would not be hard in comparison.
Despite many big names being gone, most of the team that lovingly pushed those creators with their individual contributions are still there.
Kyoani is fighting for their future to be just as bright, please believe in them a little harder.
I think they already proven themselves to be able to get back up significantly with the quality shown in dragon maid S.
Mason Hughes
>Despite many big names being gone
is there a convenient list of who died and what they were responsible for?
Josiah Thompson
Yeah, the doomposting is quite silly when this isn't the first time KyoAni had an exodus of talent (though this time not by choice), back then when Yamakan left he took some strong talent with him. The studio has a good roster of skilled episode directors to draw from, and there are bound to be some form there who will do well in the director's seat.
Jonathan Jackson
>K-Ons, Hyoukas, Haruhis and Violets
ah, it's that stuff. i always wondered why they seemed so important but i wasn't really familiar with them
it's terrible that it happened, but i think most of this stuff is the bottom of anime, only for japanese.
Landon Mitchell
I don't have faith in anything. Don't know about other anons but I trust(ed) the people that got them here, the new blood will have to prove themselves before I stop being cynical about all of this.
Tyler Gray
Ishihara is their best director, he did Haruhi and Hibike
Nathan Perez
you should watch her new show
it's actually great
Dominic Green
He also directed nichijou, chuunibyou, euphonium, phantom world, air, dragon maid s, and kanon, not to mention the plenty of other high level roles he had in everything else they made.
Adrian Perez
Not even trying to be argumentative but, we both know that's not true.
Aaron Morris
Brayden Wood
>The people that got them there
So what? You expect that now after all his years the Hatta pair are no longer capable of selecting good people? Haven't they proven themselves over and over again that they are capable at building a damn good studio?
Big names left but others remained, and many of non directorial production members are still there. Animation requires every person in the production to do their best, otherwise you get trash. All the people that helped realize those great directors' visions are still there.
And again, saying just Ishihara is like saying just Miyazaki. This guy can carry.
Jackson Evans
Elijah Gutierrez
>haruhi and hibike
>both co-directorial
Alexander Sullivan
In my opinion he is anyways
