The Anime Studio That Never Fails
Вставка
- Опубліковано 28 чер 2024
- Demon Slayer Season 2 finished its run a couple weeks ago and absolutely stunned the anime community once again, and a big part of that is ALWAYS attributed to the absolutely jaw-dropping, seizure-inducing (in a good way), eye candy animation that Ufotable continues to deliver. Today I'm talking about a number of Ufotable's works and their rise to fame over the past decade, in a weird combination of anime analysis and historical retelling. I have no idea what I'm doing honestly, but I hope it's good.

If I had one wish. It would be for more anime studios too be like ufotable and kyoto animation. Take time and don't expect rushed or so many projects that will overburden your talented animators.
🙌🙌🙌
Also include Wit. They are a pretty small studio but their animation is fire.
@@reizshfelonia6471 but wit is also a bit of a overworking studio and don't make that much money. It's one of the reasons they gave up on aot and vinland saga.
@@catlike9444 they started slowing down a bit over the recent years so they can work on better shows. Like just look at how they did to Vivy last year.
@@reizshfelonia6471 yeah Vivy is amazing but ay the same time there also giving up on their popular titles like vinland saga. Aot I could understand since that had probably the worst production committee ever for a anime.
Ufotable and kyoto animations are what happens when a studio with alot of talented animators is not abuse that talented for the sake of more projects and money. This is what a non overworking studios is. Just because they don't have alot of popular shounen titles. It dosen't mean there a bad studio. If anything, ufotable and kyoto are what more anime studio should be. Not this overworking factory.
exactly
Imagine Kyoani making a battle shonen?
@@noble7065 that would be insane
It's worth mentioning that they aren't done with TypeMoon stuff as they recently announced the Mahotsukai no yoru movie which I hope is a series of movies. Unfortunate though that Demon Slayer is overshadowing everything else they're doing.
yup haha
I hope the fate stay night saber route got remake by Ufotable :(
"Unfortunate though that Demon Slayer is overshadowing everything else they're doing"
KnY is the latest thing they did, do you expect people to care as much for the third movie of the third route of a visual novel? fate is nice but damn I am tired of it.
@ ChensoMan lol i have heard that retarded excuse 1000 times. Go bark somewhere else
@@alpacamale2909 The disrespect to Fate is massive lmao, Ufotable would probably still be making lesser known shows and KnY would probably be handed to someone like Mappa or Pierrot if Ufotable didn't get their deal with Type-Moon which really got their name out there.
I wish you would've mentioned Yuki Kajiura's music as well. She's made the soundtracks for all the popular Ufotable shows, including the music in this video. I think her music really brings Ufotable's works to just another level and enhances their atmosphere a lot. Especially KnK and Heaven's feel just wouldn't be the same without their wonderful soundtracks.
facts
I don't know why but for me Kara no Kyoukai will always be the magnum opus of Ufotable because of the insane atmosphere and haunting OST that comes with it as well as the layers of mystery that just hang around. However, this is just an insane tribute that is fair to all Ufotable works (even Demon Slayer!) so this is a subscribe from me. I hope to see more of such quality reviews and wish you the best of luck!
aye much love!!!
@@daddy_1453 yea it really depends on the viewers. I am just a sucker for urban fantasy so I love them from start to finish
@@aquaos Kara no Kyoukai really shines if one, you pay attention to the little details and seeds they plant around, and two if you rewatch it afterwards in chronological order. Really helps you appreciate how much detail and mystery is in the series. Animation is the icing on top of course but Nasu really knows how to write detailed plots.
@@coffeedq9061 I actually become a sucker for Nasu and eventually TypeMoon and Fate because of KnK. The movie series is such a treat since it respects the viewers to divulge information on their own and can figure out the twist and turns. All in all my favorite Type-Moon adaptation ever (even more than Heaven Feels and Fate/ Zero)
I feel people don't hate demon slayer since most popular shounen have simple stories and plots, But really, I think fans are jealous that demon slayer got the production and studio that other titles would kill for. I don't blame them for but I feel people should think about how demon slayer got this production first before saying stuff like " it mid, It carried by animations " and so on and so forth.
mmmm true
i watched it i thought it was average at best,nothing terrible or good.
would love for black clover to get the mappa or Ufotable treatmeant but they are stuck with a bad studio
@@Core_shock67 the studio is not the problem its production time
FR. Demon slayer is absolutely amazing. Can't wait for s3
Heaven's Feel was by far the best in animation, fight scene's and ending, by my opinion. Tho the other 2 timelines are also some of the best in the industry.
It’s so hard to get a Kara no kyoukai content afterall the release was 10-14 years ago. Thanks for making this analysis.
The dedication of Ufotable have to make their art as close as possible to the source material is clearly seen as to why each of their anime is totally distinct and unique.
I can feel their motto is to make the very best version of that series ever. It will be diffcult for any remakes by other studio of their anime franchise to par with what they've created.
Talent and Passion. Bravo to Ufotable!!!
Stay night did not create an art style close to the original. Deen did though.
“Take time and stun the world with what they’ve crafted”
Shows Kirei eating tofu
i was quite proud of that one
@@AnimeCultureCorner nice couldn’t tell if that was intentional or just the best coincidence 😂
Next in line:Genshin Impact
Ufotable and Kyoto animation are my favorite studios they are two sides of the same coin.That show how passion about their works and animators its a shame of how the industry treats most studio's like slaves especially anime have more high demand than ever cause even more worse condition.That mappa for example really carrying the demands of anime🙍♂️
looking at ufotable its clear that their works are never rushed. They make their work and then they polish it. I feel like there have been anime studios who said "aight boys we finished and the fans demand (insert anime name season prequel) so lets let it run" While ufotable always makes it the best they cam
Im more excited than worried knowing they’re doing the Genshin anime. I hope its good
And they're doing genshin adaption now .
Can't wait for the mahoutsukai no yoru movie adaptation from ufotable (the actual first novel by type moon though it was shadow removed then remade as a visual novel in 2012) it is like the best introduction to the type moon universe and with ufotable it is in the right hands
Love the video! One thing I wanted to mention is that people that say that Demon Slayer is carried by animation don't mean to say that Demon Slayer is bad without animation. Its a pretty good shounen, but we just do not think its a top tier one or the best of the best. Its carried by animation and production quality just because of how amazing of a job ufotable has done. I have never seen anime elevate manga material as much and consistently as Demon Slayer its insane but again this isnt me tryna downplay Demon Slayer itself because again its a really good shounen just to a lot of us not the best of the best when it comes to everything other than animation/production quality
Nonetheless. Demon slayer will keep being amazing, successful, popular and emotional. Season 3 is already coming
@@eigenrauflinog9069 yeah for sure, I love Demon Slayer do not get me wrong, and the more successful it gets just means the higher quality ufotable going to give us we so I am definitely not complaining
I can't wait for them to animate Genshin Impact's anime, ty for this video
We need more studios like Ufotable.
I see a lot of people down play Ufotable's animation saying the animation is good because of effects and stuff like that.
But Ufotable uses animation techniques that, to my knowledge, no other studio uses. For example during the Lancer vs Assassin fight in Heaven's Feel II the truck scene in particular, they first created a 3d model of Lancer showing all the movements he makes then after they animate over that model and look how that fight turned out.
When people say that Ufotable is near unmatched in its animation they mean moments like these. Ufotable may use a lot of effect work, but its to enhance the scenebut give it that finishing touch
@@dhyeyhiteshkumarsuthar7150
Mine are:
Ufotable
Mappa
Kyoto Animation
Bones
Madhouse
Ufotable's animation by no means is the best. Mob psycho 100 had better "animation" than demon Slayer, but it just doesn't "look" as good as the aforementioned series. Ufotable excels at good digital compositing, special effect & art direction which is the key reason why ufotable projects look the way they do. From the use of incredibly bright and vibrant colour palate to the way they shade over the already eye-catching colours in characters is a part of that.
Ufotable has 4 exceptionally talented and competent individuals. Without them ufotable is done for. And one of them being Yuuichi Terao who is the lead director of photography AKA compositor, without this man demon Slayer or any other ufotable projects wouldn't look nearly as good or well crafted.
Ufotable projects look good mainly because of these individuals and other people who work but theirs isn't as important to the overall product, compared to the ones I mentioned before.
I really appreciate all the work and love ufotable puts into thier works I hope they continue having a bright future
i am subscribing that was very good and his voice makes me fell like time has stopped and every thing he has a good opinion and fell for anime
Great VID!
One of the few times the YT algorithm recommends me something I’ll like 👏🏾👏🏾
you got a new sub
edit: and a fan
Great content
Liked the monogatari screens inbetween :3
Yeah ufotable will allways be my favourite animation studio of all time. I love them as much as I love the Fate and tsukihime franchise/universe. ❤
This channel slept on
aye much love
Ufotable did a great job on Fate
I do wish they didn’t exclude some things from the OG VN because now there are some people who flat out hate some of the characters but I think that’s more of a direction problem than the studio itself
But they did Demon Slayer perfectly as it elevated the original series
Fate/Zero is sincerely my comfort rewatch which... I can't entirely explain myself.
underrated creator
Good vid,
Ufotable is just built different. And the studio's picks are always quality picks
i hope they will adapt tsukihime since they adapting mahoyo (the first typemoon work) and they already did the tsukihime openings for the vn
Sucks that Ufotable is still bound by lack of financial support just like the other studios in japan.
If anime studios have loads of money such as Sony, Pixar, Disney, they'd be making high quality anime and paying workers millions of yen.
Ufotable makes color shows. Few shots look insanely detailed. But throughout the entirety of fate franchise there's zero h2h fast paced action sequence
Saw the title and immediately thought of Katsugeki Touken Ranbu being the outlier.
tbh out of everything Ufotable have adapted Kara No Kyoukai for me is still their peak
not in animation but in overall everything
same could be said for Type Moon at least out of all series that have been adapted so far, Fate while more iconic i would say is not as good as Kara No Kyoukai from both the adaptation wise (so far beside Fate Zero all Fate adaptation by Ufotable been quite lackluster story wise compare to the source) and how good it is as story and character goes
Only the Type moon has good story, nah.
Gyo was still the best anime adaptation of a Junji Ito manga up to date(maybe Uzumaki will challenge it).
God Eater did hit emotional peaks (like episode 5), that hits the same as Rezero where Subaru gets frozen while holding Rem ending scene, or Demon Slayer S2 where everbody seems to die ending scene. And who did that cut to credits thing first? It is God Eater. To add to a point people who played GE ressurection uses the Lenka skin as the player character the most rather than the og game mc.
You can put Demon Slayer in there too. Like its not a story masterpiece, but it does not mean its not good. The manga survived shonen jump and was not cancelled and even has the balls to end when it wanted to, it gets people emotionally invested in it (like Touken Ranbu is as visually appealing but the story comparison is like night and day)
@@Snzn18 I am purely talking on Ufotable and all their work with Type Moon only
Why would I mention any other people and works when it is unrelated
You really misunderstood my comment huh
And well Kara No Kyoukai is still their best overall adaptation from source material and in how good it is for me
You even mention Gyo and Re Zero they are unrelated to both Ufotable and Type Moon
@@Snzn18 gyo was extremely unfaithful to the manga and it hardly matched to what junji itou's Mangas had in them. Even deen's junji itou collection was better than than gyo imo. Despite it itself being not so good.
Demon slayer has been criticized a lot after it gained popularity for having one dimensional characters and a very generic plot line. Which is where the "demon slayer got carried by animation" statement arrised.
And god eater atleast to me seemed quite mediocre as someone who hasn't played the game but maybe it resonates better with people who are familiar with it
Man i wished the fate series were adapted well by ufotable.
The clueless would read your comment and think "what? after ufotable animating it how can you still complain?" but the biggest fans of the source material will agree that the adaptations leave much to be desired. That's a testament to just how beloved the VN really is. Let that sink in.
@@nelisezpasce I think the only big improvement is to put more visual queues to replace the monologues imo. I think we can all agree that they'd be boring as hell in an anime and drag it out by hours. They barely put any visual queues though, and if there were more I think people would understand Shirou more. Also HF needed more run time, but can't blame them too much for that.
@@coffeedq9061 Anime is no stranger to internal monologues because some ideas simply cannot be properly conveyed through visuals alone (that's why so many people prefer the "show AND tell" approach). Just get rid of the pointlessly dragged out action. Anime-onlies seem to believe Fate is about the fights, even after finishing the adaptations. If only Nasu had written a "series bible" specifically for TV focused on nothing but spectacular non-stop action then I guess ufotable would do a good job at it...
@@nelisezpasce You say stuff can't properly be conveyed through visuals, but Steins Gate did it perfectly. Instead of having long monologues, you can literally see Okabes mindset throughout the show. It can work, and as Steins Gate proved, when done right it's amazing.
@@nelisezpasce or maybe that most adaptations fall short of their source material.
Ufotable, MAPPA and Madhouse are my favorite animation studios
Shitaya Noriko (Sakura Matō's va) teased a reebot of the Saber-route at December 21st last year so I hope that Ufotable are the ones who animates it
Do you have a link for that? I want to read it
I would also like to give a shoutout to Sunrise being one of the few studios who still have the balls (and the talent) to 2D animate mechs. Plus Sunrise is really good at doing consistent geometry because of that.
But as for being the best, well, they are the best at what they do. But I don't think they could've probably brought the likes of Made in Abyss alive the same way as Kinema Citrus has done nor do I think they could do a mech show as good as Sunrise.
Most underrated anituber
your really right man
glad u agree g
I wish they could do berserk ,i know they could do it justice
That would probably be the hardest project for ufotable to do. At best it will take 3 year production. And cg will mostly be used in alot of big scenes but it will be 1000x better then what the hell we saw back in 2016. 🤢
Well, talking about budget, no matter if you give an artist 100$ or 1000$, there's a limit to how much and how good he can draw in a limited amount of time.
''When I first started watching animé, as most do, I began with Netflix''
-said no one
Waiting in line for ufotable to animate Berserk
I forget to mention is it possible do another like that with Kyoto animation I want to see video from you on your take on kyotoani
we’ll see, but yes it’s very possible!
@@AnimeCultureCorner Can't wait 👍
I really enjoyed animation design of the characters
absolutely
@@AnimeCultureCorner yes I do agree with you Fam
Lol I'm old we had sailor Moon in the morning before school dragon Ball Z after school on toonami and then Inuyasha at night
demon slayer
animation: yes
good story: no
fate
animation:yes
good story: yes
As much people would like to hush about God Eater,
I still find it better than Zestiria overall.
(Though Ufotable probably stayed quite a bit too safe with Zestiria and Touken Ranbu since they tried to do a new ambitious art and animation style with God Eater.)
Also remember the Rezero Subaru frozen decapitation while holding Rem's mangled corpse fade to credit scene?
Or DS S2 everybody seemingly will die by Gyutaro's final bloody explosion then fade to credits.
God Eater did that amazing cliffhanger first.
Also as much as Zestiria or Katsugeki Touken Ranbu,
Zestiria is still like the most popular Tales anime out there,
Katsugeki rivals Touken Ranbu Hanamaru and its funny since Katsugeki is the spinoff and Hanamaru is more the mainline Touken Ranbu story.
In an alternative universe, Tokyo Ghoul was adapted by ufotable.
I was actually rewatching Fate/Zero and also decided to restart watching Grand Order Absolute Babylonia as well.
Imagine if ufotable made attack on titan. . .
Rumbling would look shit like blood in mugen train movie
I tried to get into the Fate series but I've never knew where to start
i recommend starting with fate:zero
@@AnimeCultureCorner cheers fella.
I've heard that it's a confusing timeline
You Reserve more subs
I dream of a FATE route adaptation by UFO Table…
While I was watching Tengan Vs Daki's onii Chan Fight scene in demon Slayer season 2, I quickly remind me fate series ..
this aged like milk
Lol, 11 seconds into the video and I’ve started watching Mushi-Shi for the first time
Fate also somehow did "gyo" by junji itto😂😂
They also did the jump festa pilot episode for Toriko.
Toriko was almost Ufotable's shonen series lol. Like looking comparing Toie's Toriko adapation to that pilot is like Deen Fate pailing in comparison to Ufotable Fate.
And yeah Gyo was still the better Junji Ito manga adaption than the Junji Ito collection anime.
Katsugeki Touken Ranbu while being "the spinoff" is more enjoyable to me than Hanamaru which is the the "actual mainline" Touken Ranbu anime.
I think Ufotable has a track record of one upping other studios when working on the same ip universe lol.
UFOTABLE is not just quality over quantity. it's "justified quality" Unlike other studios that pump out trash with amazing quality, UFOTABLE knows exactly where to spend its Unlimited Budget, this mismanagement of budget has affected studios like MADHOUSE, but now MAPPA has learned its lesson. Goat animation doesn't matter without a good and entertaining story.
“I began on Netflix” 😂😂😂 fuuuuuck I’m old if this is how y’all getting into anime
Gyo and God Eater: Are we a joke to you?
you know Fate 2006 by DEEN works in its way :)
Fate route is like the most generic anime possible. Boy meets girl, gets inovlved in magical warfare, slowly builds up his harem ;3
encounters new enemies in each chapter, saves the world. DEEN emphasised it, by making animation close to most 2003-2006 anime ;)
The fact Fate 2006 looks like most generic anime possible
makes complexity of others even better :D
Isnt it UFO-Table? They have a ufo in their logo
that’s the origin of the name, but the japanese pronunciation is pretty simply translated as ufotable… or, i mean you-fo-tuh-bull lol
@@AnimeCultureCorner I see
Nice NEVER TALK ABOUT THOSE "TAX'S"
Because they already paid back their taxes 🙄
Ufotable 💕💕💕
dude they put around 100k for a fucking episode i bet whole boruto and 7 deadly frames didint put that money altogether
Man it is just perticall with 3d cgi and some 2D
my wish is for Ufotable to animate One punch man's Garou Arc.
I Have 1 wish In Life,and That's Please Please Please let Ufotable animate solo leveling
that would be hype
TRUE
true
That "Never Fails" Continues to List shows that Died off or have been Forgotten.
Bruh
Not even fate zero could top the best work of ufotable which is Kara no kyoukai, that shit was a banger and is undoubtedly the best series ufotable has done. People are seriously sleeping on it.
I see u haven’t seen Gyo (Tokyo Fish Attack) I botched out of the movie after seeing the CGI fish.
i know i may get a lot of hate for saying this but Fate/Stay Night is my favorite Fate anime,Yes the Studio Deen Anime you can call me every name in the book.
it takes a big man to say that. respect my trooper
@@AnimeCultureCorner Thank you by the way and yeah it does.
It's overhated honestly
I don’t think Deen/Stay Night was a perfect adaptation but it was quite enjoyable
People just categorize it as just bad.
But only real gripe with it is that it tried to mish mash storylines from the 3 routes.
Imo it should just stick with adapting the fate route faithfully. Like I think people could get pass the animation style since that's just how anime looked in the early 2000s anyway if the Deen Stay Night at least gave people the real dral Fate route adaptation. Sadly it didn't.
Example for this is FGO first order. It is luck luster in the animation department compared to a "Fate" anime standard, but no one asuch complain about it asuch as woth Deen's beacuse at least it told the FGO chapter 1 decently and faithfully.
The Deen UBW was kinda passable for fans for the same reason for a time before of cpurse the UFOtable UBW. Because at least it is UBW overall just in a highly condensed version of it. Like heck some people prefer the Shirou Vs. Gilgamesh fight in the Deen movie than Ufotable's.
Where do they get their sources. Did all that character comes from their mind 🤔🤔
The sources are games and manga.
@@ArcueidBrunestudTypeVampire oh I see ☺️
One criticism, you called Fate/stay Night a Sequel to Zero, that is fundamentally false. Zero is a prequel to FSN. FSN came first, and Zero fleshed out the backstories of important characters.
My guy really going to ignore how bad God Eater was or how good Manabi Straight was?
lol
Manabi had too much drama, personally would have preferred a silly comedy with low stakes. But their production decisions were still interesting.
Fate/Stay Night Unlimited Blade Works is my favorite from them so far.
Mine is heaven's feel.
I have only watched demonslayer
You started at Netflix? How young are you?
I do agree that the animation for season two of demon slayer was great, I was more focused on the writing and story than the action. The action was awesome but I’ve honestly forgotten some of the battles, not because I think it’s bad but what was happening didn’t really shock me at all. And the entire battle lasted for like 10 episodes and I got to a certain point that I just didn’t care about the story. Like when Rudy’s first met the dragon God, or when or what happened to asuka at the end of evangelion. Those scene literally shocked me and it happened quickly that I still remember them to this day. I’m already slowly forgetting all the fight scenes in demon slayer because the demons and heroes motivation just feels basic and sometimes stupid honestly. Mostly the demons motivations for killing people are stupid.
animation doesnt carry the anime...
But the whole production itself..
There are other anime's with godly animation..but did not get popular cause of its trash production..
DS has one of the best production in anime. I actually watched demon slayer mainly cause of the music..its too good..
its funny how the entire studio is carried by one person....yuichi terao, composite director and CGI
Mine is a guy who just wants a normal life until the hitman of a mafia family…
Yes it's reborn!
Edit: yeah great point of there some anime studio's are mixed of good, bad, neat, fine, great, meh and awful!
Ufotable is the only studio who isn’t maidenless
L + maidenless
Most started with toonami..
Weren't Ufotable facing a lawsuit for tax evasion a while back or smth?
yeah lol
And they already pay their taxes back. This problem doesn't effect the studio as much as overworking staff like with others
Ufo-table?
yes
If ufotable take on Tokyo Ghoul...
Just imagine the sales, the quality... The story and the underlying philosophy...
Tokyo ghoul might just replace Fullmetal Alchemist as the greatest anime ever made....
Then people will call it mind and carried. Because it's animated by ufotable.😅
But no seriously them working on tokyo ghoul will be godlike with the right time.
@@catlike9444 lol only people who truly can't appreciate a great Manga will call Tokyo Ghoul mid
Yeah if ufotable take it on...
I've got no doubt in my mind that it will be the greatest anime ever made...
Did you erase God Eater out of existence lol?
Ignoring the fact ufo fucked up on that anime 🤣
I wish Ufotable would redo Tokyo Ghoul.
i'd watch that
I don't know why I think like this but ufotable best anime will be fate series it's so underrated because of the watch order if it's not because of that i damm sure it will surpass demon slayer in every category i enjoy both anime but i like fate better and no hate comments plz 😭
Ufotable ruined junji ito manga tho but it's in the past now they are one of the best👍
Yes, Fate/Zero was one of the best series.
