Many of us have noticed anime occasionally taking real life locations as references for their own. Some of us have even been provoked to take these 'anime pilgrimages.' But today, let's talk a look at how using the atmosphere of real places can help build on an anime's sense of reality.

"Geh."
"Nani ga GEH?"
Kumiko's sister doesn't like Kumiko noises.
Simok1234 "Geh" like it's written, means "Go" in german
I would translate "Nani ga Geh" into, "What do you mean, Geh?" or something like that.
OMG her mouth even makes the same shape when she says it!!
4 years now but. GEHeh NANDAYO?!
@@radeemer1 thats what I thought
There's a reason why Hibike Euphonium is one of my favorite anime, and why KyoAni is one of my favorite studios :)
KyoAni are amazing. People get way too strung up on their affinity for moe and ignore how almost everything else about their shows is on another level entirely compared to the rest of the industry's efforts.
Sound can be so underutilised, nice to see it actually affected by the space the characters are in!
KyoAni is the pinnacle of animation :3
it really is, i would put them at the same level of CoMiX
I'm so frustrated channels like yours only get a couple ten thousand views. I'd much rather have content like this represent the community instead of "TOP TEN BIGGEST BOOBS IN ANIME EVER xD!"
I want a deep and serious analysis of oppai.
Lets hope someone will analyse those curves in keijo!!!!!!
ahahaha, true man. Thank you. Can I copy paste this comment on other good videos? Like some digibro ones or some RCAnime ones.
I mean, I don't think it's that hard to make a similar comment without needing to copy and paste but I don't really care do what you want.
RCAnime production is the top out of every video I've seen about anime.
I love this show! Great video. Hibike Euphonium really does have amazing attention to detail, it also really impresses me how they made Kumiko feel so real and believable.
Wow i see you everywhere
So I should watch Euphonium, gotcha.
seriously tho, great vid and nice to see you come back
Seriously. Even though I hesitated to watch it because it's about, well, music, I'm gonna watch it anyways.
But first! I must finish the hilarious abomination that is Big Order.
The level of detail in this anime is amazing.
There was literally no better ending 7:09
Wow, I never noticed all this when I watched Hibike, its beautiful!
thank you for comming back, i was lusting for you ;)
The shading, the detail, and there backgrounds are so amazing,
I wish I could animate like this. The art style is so realistic, it looks like they are scenes from the garden of words. One of the most realistic animes I have EVER scene.
It is the most beautiful anime I have ever seen, the looks are just drop dead gorgeous
Wonderful vid. Aside from the engaging plot and wide cast of characters, this video describes all the reasons why I love this anime. I am surprised not more people are talking about it. I thought Kyoto Animation had outdone themselves with capturing details in realism when I watched The Melancholy back in 2007. When I saw Eupho I just melted
Naoko Yamada saved anime.
More like Kyoto animation as a whole saved anime
Just binged season 1 & 2 and I absolutely loved it! Thanks for the vid. It really helped me realize why it was such a moving show ^^
One thing I noticed about Euphonium in your video is that even when the characters play the instruments it's with the hand-drawn animation and it looks fluid. Which contrasts with this anime I recently watched at my university's Anime Club called Nodame Cantabile (Season 1).
The story and characters of the show were good, and it was handled well, but the one thing I always found odd was whenever it switched from the hand drawn animation to the CGI. I know that the show probably didn't have a huge budget (though Kyoko Studios, as RCAnime has pointed out previously, always uses medium budgets and still put out anime that looks expensive), just it always looked both off-putting and unintentionally hilarious whenever you see these characters look very static whenever playing the instruments in the 2D animation but then switch to "CGI hands" playing CGI instruments. The transitions just didn't seem to mesh with each other. While I liked the show, it would have been better if it didn't have that issue.
Th...there's a anime club?
Amazing video as always man. I can tell how much time you pour into these every time and it never ceases to amaze me.
I really liked the background music you used so I checked the guy out and I actually really like his beats. Thank you for showing me an amazing artist too!
Who else crying while watching this?
Hibike Euphonium animation is indeed close to absolute perfection.. The usage of angle , weather & space, emotions & movements--every details are incredibly animated! I salute KyoAni for the job well done! You made me feel to watch a reality movie heheh!
this is the best live-action I've ever seen
Tasty episode, I love KyoAni
I wasn't sure about watching Euphonium, but you made a good case for it. The use of music is something I truly appreciate and the example you showed truly amazed me. I'm definitely giving it a shot. Excellent work!
I LOVE YOU MAN!!! Gonna start watching it now, awesome video!!!!!
I LOVE THIS ANIME SO MUCH and thank you for the great video!
Kyoani is starting to worry me.
It's like "oh wow this series looks really nice you can see all the effort and work put into it," "I wonder who ma- oh"
I guess I don't get it. Why is this worrisome?
I went to Uji last summer and FUCK IT I KNOW I'VE BEEN THERE in Eupho
Love your music every( or most) time lol
What an amazing composed video
That show is gorgeous
Your editing is genius
The closed captions at the beginning say the music is "Scheherazade", but it's actually the Overture to "Orpheus in the Overworld" by Offenbach.
"To promote tourism"
Well.. they fuckin succeeded in doing that
Lost in Translation OST = 10/10
Aside from that though, this video certainly scratched an itch that I didn’t know I had. I’ve always found KyoAni to be better than most studios at conveying a sense of three-dimensionality through hand drawn animation - not just in the environments, but also in the characters and their movements - and Hibike! is far from an exception. I also love that you discussed sound design and how it contributes to the sense of space. That’s an aspect within anime that I think is vastly overlooked and unappreciated; there is so much general focus on its different visual elements that almost no attention is given to how things sound and what that brings to a show. It sure isn’t an easy task to give a studio recording a natural ambience that reflects the spatial environment of a scene, and most times the mixing is either too dry or has a reverb that sounds way too artificial. Hibike! Euphonium totally nails it though.
Oh, and that Naoko Yamada quote at the end is probably the best thing I’ve heard all week. Perfectly summarizes my sentiment on what makes a great KyoAni show great.
Again with an awesome and informative video RC. Hope you have a good one on this Christmas 😌
Great video as always. Loved the Mittens on the background
You make pretty good content man, legit.
Loved the video!! Thank you so much for this awesome KyoAni videos * u *
Great analysis man. Keep it up, it's great work and always interesting!!
You`ve improved so much!!! good work RC
I must say, this series has a very high production quality, animation, background, sound to compositing etc.
I love your visual essays!
This is such a well made video, you deserve much more subscribers, wish you luck 😉
I just finished watching the festival scene!! I hope onto youtube only to find your great video on it! Wild!!!
How did i miss this vid ?!
The editing, pacing and thought are top notch as awlays. Liked, faved, shared and enjoyed ;)
love your work as always:)
Hey! I love your videos. Keep up the good work!
Amazing :), never noticed this many details while watching the show, but somehow it always struck me as really good. Now I know why. Also, is good to see a new video from you in a while :)
Hey RC do you have a UA-cam Playlists with your favorite music?
Would love to get a link.
I think the most realistic sounds are the Kumiko sounds 😂 her voice acting is amazing
I think the very last bit is why I fell in love with Kumiko.
Damn ur editing on this one is tight. Great job!
The editing in this vid did not have to be that good man what the heck lol 👌
This shows how beautiful Hibike Euphonium was created.
hey RC, great vid... thank you for your work, as an earlier comment said, this is what really should be representing the anime community.
I would really really love watching your analysis on Eureka seven and its realistic portrayal of emotions. that show resonates a lot with me :)
5:21 It's also rather faithful to how bright shiny brass instruments can be. Seriously, carrying around my euphonium outside on a bright day can be like, "AH MY EYES!"
Anyways, nice analysis. There are subtle qualities about H!E that I feel make the show just that much better, but I couldn't quite put my finger on them until this video.
Great
Incredible channel! Subscribed!
you make great videos, i really enjoy them, even though i don't watch anime. i love have you can point out little but importhant things like these.
keep it up dude, great vids.
sry for my bad english
dope vid bro, i like when u go full detective and show details i've ignored
sweet
KyoAni has played whit sound in a lot of their series. The first time I see something like that was in the Suzumiya Haruhi episode, when Kyon go for a heater, when they show Nagato just reading in the club room and you can hear some seiyuu practice in background
I was expecting you would make a video about this great anime :)
love this man keep coming out with solid shit 😁
You made me want to watch this show now!
"...and what she desire" and then Reina shows up...
Coincidence? I think not
i've come here 'cause Anoani tell me to do it.
god these are awesome
If only they would set an anime in a random village in the north of England. Then I may understand how people in kyoto feel when they watch this.
AAAAAAHAH FIRST VIDEO IN SO LONG :))
3:54 what it means for a world to feel alive and real and immersive
6:38 making sure reverb is in the right space during recording for voice actors
your videos are so fucking classy
This was such an awesome video! Hibike is my favorite anime right now, and I absolutely love the show's dedication to realism. (However, there was a really odd shot this season - they decided to simulate the look of a fairly wide angle lens in a close-up on the oboe player. While the shot's distortion was realistic to how the lens would look, it looked off-putting.) I was going to nitpick on your pronunciation of bokeh (I've always heard it pronounced like "boke-uh", but it turns out that both pronunciations are correct. A question: Where did you find that interview?
Aayyyyeee
as far as sound direction goes, yozakura quartet also went really hard out, more in the effects departement. i dont think ive ever heard an anime with more presence in its sound design.
You should d a best anime music list, if you haven't already.
The thing you mentioned with the scenes losing their effects due to background music depends on the mood and how good the scene convey that mood. For example at min 6:25 the scenery, in my doesnt picutre the suspense/severity good enough to and could be a reason why the music "ruins" the scene effect!
How does this Masterpiece only have an 8 on Myanimelist are people out of their minds!!!
Because MAL is full of normies that can't appreciate art.
+RCAnime I wonder how well Durarara did this? don't know much about Ikebukuro but it would be cool to see that too right? not asking you to by the way just wondering if you think they did a similar thing.
btw, does anyone have the link to the environment reference video
Where did you get the behind the scenes interview stuff? I would like to see it for myself.
Which brings me to the polar opposite. Utena the Movie, where nearly everything is born out of the creators' head and only 3% based in real life. The setting makes no effort to follow logic or physics, it's impressive all the same. I think when Ikuhara and Kyoani did their respective works, they employed completely different methods.
One, "oh I'm a big fan of urban exploration, I love Uji, love these trains, these trees, these flowers, love the bridge crossing the river and sparkling water seen from this bench. I bet not many people know this bench haha, so I'm gonna add a lot of pink and violet to make it rock".
One, "Fuk it, I'm gonna close my eyes, reality be damned. I want my buildings moving, some big square garden at the top, growing rose so its petals can some day fall down like rain. I don't want my corridors have railings, students can drop dead for the sake of beauty. Yeah, there needs to be a car wash machine too"
So I mean Ikuhara achieves sth out of this world through the most normal setting of all, the high school. Many animes set in space don't make me feel disorienting as that movie.
So I just take this as a complete counterpoint of Kyoani works. And it's equally great cuz they didn't have ANYTHING as references, save the obscure lines behind the shadow of their eyelids, or maybe some modernist architectural designs. Sorry for belaboring the point.
Hey RCAnime where'd you get those interviews and behind the scenes videos from? Been looking to do a project on Hibike! Euphonium and stuff like that would essential to its success.
You might wanna try ultimatemegax.wordpress.com. They usually write articles on KyoAni stuff, ranging from translation of interviews to reviews of BDs.
Reh Pak Oh no I know that. I already have enough interviews for it i'm just talking about video because he had video interviews and behind the scenes stuff in this.
4:37 WTF THE ARM
I wish Hibike used less "handheld camera/shaky cam". I think they're trying to add to the realistic feel with it, but most of the time it's used superfluously and done in a way that only enforces that there is no real camera, no real cameraman and therefore no real environments and characters.
And it´s also pointless.
What are your thoughts on Ashita no joe
Nice way to end though
How can I talk a look at how using the atmosphere of real places can help build on an anime's sense of reality?
I'm actually a bit dissapointed. When I read the title I assumed that there was an anime project where the animators went out, photographed the background and then sat on that location furiously drawing the keyframes on site. before moving on to the next setup. :P
I jest a bit. But the results of such a thing would be fun to see.
Another thing I'd love to see tried out, if only for a joke, is "This Anime Was Animated in Front of A Live Studio Audience".
where do you find these 'behind the scene' videos?
U should really check out and maybe review Yozakura Quartet: Hana no Uta it is by far the most underrated anime i have ever seen and my favorite
Hey where do you get your slow music
like first before watching
I love the analysis, sadly not many are jumping on the back of Hibike! Euphonium 2, and when Hibike! season 1 came out it had a good fan base, then there was the Yuri baiting came in made it even bigger, then the base died again...
my favorite realistic representation of hibike euphonium is the closeted unaware lesbians.... YES KYOANY YOU ARE NOT FOOLING ME
There is a nasty buzzing noise in the background whenever you talk :/
Mushishi is the best example of how to NOT do a setting in an animated story:
In every ep's story, the location changes, but none of them even have a *name*, and most of the time they're set in a village that looks almost exactly like another episode's. The anime is so focused on simplicity that it lacks proper detail. If anyone can prove me wrong, please feel free to do so.
Buck Wade I think that was honestly part of the intent of the creators. Each village is just like the one after, cause it could be any village. The whole point was that the people involved didn't matter, nothing that happened was special. No one was bad, no one was good, just different individuals coming together and their existences clashing. The names of the village and didn't matter, they wouldn't have added anything. Describing the setting is put aside in favor of the overall atmosphere that the show exudes.
+Jake Smith I understand where you're coming from, but I disagree. Not everyone will react similarly to the same situation, and will most likely use the environment around them. I don't see how avoiding giving the names of the villages adds to the atmosphere. I don't think the setting should've been the FOCUS, but played a bigger role and diverse location would've been nice. Hell, by making each setting different from the other, it'd add to, what you're saying, that anything can happen anywhere.
However, when pondering why Mushishi is set in a rural Feudel Japan as opposed to, well, fucking anything else, it occurred to me, which is what makes Mushishi smart: An obvious enough theme of the anime is nature, which is why the stories are set in a rural Feudel Japan, and how Mushishi are a part of it. None of them are good or evil. Nature is just nature, which perfectly aligns with Ginko's view of them. Not something you need to ponder for hours to realize, but really fucking subtle.
Buck Wade it's more that adding names of villages for example wouldn't have done anything to make the show better. It rightfully focuses on the people involved, and tells their stories. Additionally, it's been a while since I've watched it, but I do remember there being some pretty diverse settings. There was a fishing village, a mountain village, a forest village, a busier town, and a couple others I can't remember. Your last point is really spot on though, and that's what makes Mushishi so great, and one of my favorite anime.
+Jake Smith Ah! That's right, I forgot, there were some diverse locations. Hell, I remember that one fishing episode, where the residents *had dark skin*. Like holy shit, you don't find that in anime, because anime always tries to weezle out of showing proper dark skinned characters (*coughs* Magi). I most likely forget some of the settings because I watched Mushishi weekly.
So okay, while I still disagree about the settings' lack of names, it doesn't bother me all that much. Just like how it didn't bother me much when the world in Death Parade wasn't explained that much, because let's be honest, none of us watches Death Parade for the supernatural lore, we watch it for the psychological study of characters and their stories, even though it could've easily spared an episode to explain the lore stuff.
Why, but I always find the setting of Mushishi interesting. Yes, it does not have the particularity of one specific, special place. But I always like the season changes. I always look forward to the season changes, it's one of my top pleasures of watching the show. One episode it's spring (sakura, stuff...), then, summer (bamboo, forests, seaside...), autumn, then winter. I love the winter episode most, snow is beautiful, one of the most heartbreaking stories is a boy who don't feel cold, and the thatched roofed house buried in snow is fantastic, then there's this frozen lake.
Man, this series looks so stunningly beautiful and I really want to watch and enjoy it, but I just can't. It bores me to death. I guess it just isn't my thing. It's such a shame, really. Anyways, amazing video as always. Keep up the good work!
Why does most of the anime all have to look the same. I like the different types of anime. Like... one punch man and soul eater
