As Ithekro said they played in someone else's universe like Okada did. Hell Type Moon isn't even listed as one of the developers of the game (Chunsoft is),it's just that Nasu listed as a writer of the bonus scenario. Chunsoft staff came up with characters and universe,Nasu came up with his scenario inside that universe,Okada came up with hers.

Thanks, now I just remembered that subtle melancholic taste I felt. But again, with Hanasaku Iroha I lost interest along the way. BTW a second season is coming, am I wrong?

All in all I guess I can say, even without the last episode, that Another is the only title, along with True Tears, that stand out among their works. I don't know if I would add Hanasaku Iroha to the list. Quote:

reviving this thread due to a discussion in the Hyou-Ka thread of all places.
Right, so about which show the studio had worked on that looks the best, I actually answered this a while ago (like last year) and my position remains the same : HanaIro > True Tears > Canaan > Angel Beats in terms of visuals. HanaIro was probably the best looking thing they got out, followed by TT. Canaan I liked, though it clearly suffered from either lack of time or budget since from what I remember it wasn't that great looking, but Angel Beats was certainly not that great looking and considering the sort of budget it had, it almost certainly would be embarrassing to watch now.

CAANAN looked gorgeous and the action is so animated and is probably PA Works' best. Hanairo had great polish but what really stands out is the mesh between 2D and 3D backgrounds. True Tears is also greatly polished. Another looks good when it needs to and Angel Beats looks good but it just needs polish.
CAANAN>Hanairo>True Tears> Angel Beats> Another for me.

Hmm... probably bias here, but I would put True Tear above Iroha in my opinion. The artistic direction, visuals and technical merits were astounding in that one. Just a crying shame it didn't get to sell more.
And because some people will probably misconstrue what I said, Iroha is fantastic too. I just prefer True Tears, and no amount of brow-beating will make you make me change my opinion on the matter. Cheers.

True Tears didn't have the same animation fluidity as the rest but those character designs are just too beautiful to care about and the backgrounds felt artistic. Iroha and Canaan probably had the more detailed backgrounds, but True Tears' stage came alive despite the weaker technical quality. Angel Beats was kinda neat but they seemed to screw up the proportions and design consistency too much, but it was kinda fluid maybe? Another seemed to focus the budget on those infamous scenes but otherwise the animation was kinda iffy.
So, TT > Canaan > HSI >>> AB >>>> Another Even eschewing plot related details, True Tears by and far has the highest replay value if I wanted to just look at something pleasing.

Continuing here, or well, at least this particular bit.

I also never said "P.A Works" itself was the exception, the exception in that case were simply some of the works done by P.A Works, but it might as well apply to other extremely good looking shows such as, I don't know, Sakamichi or Fate/Zero. Those shows are exceptions to the crop of averageness we get every season... And on topic now, like I said up there, I consider HanaIro to be their best show where visuals are concerned. It really nailed those backgrounds, but more importantly, a lot of times it showed really nice character animation. CANAAN had those two, but they were more limited to the really nice looking action cuts, whereas Hanasaku was simply more consistent with it. True Tears looked nice, as well, but I don't know, I always thought Hanasaku was simply more polished, again it probably has to do with the more complex character animation which in general I thought HanaIro did bit more in that front. Angel Beats I already explained my views on it up there, and Another was somewhat poor, but those backgrounds were still really nice. Shame the actual show was much more of a comedy than it was a horror story.

The real unsung hero at PA works is animation director/chara designer Sekiguchi Kanami
PA works shows she's worked on: True Tears Canaan Hanasaku Iroha PA works shows she hasn't worked on: Angel Beats Another I'm glad she's on board for Tari Tari

Visually, I'd go with Hanasaku Iroha > CANAAN > True Tears > Another > Angel Beats
Another was done on a pretty low budget, and only a couple episodes stand out in terms of animation. However, Angel Beats (a mess) is proof that money/frame count =/= quality. |

My guess is that most of the money never actually made it into the animating side of things lol
