>>283816727I disagree, but CITY was great regardless
>>283816125It's not incest if the siblings don't grow up together. I don't care if they're BR. If they were separated at birth and only met again as adults, there is nothing there. Expanding on this, if you think incest is the purest form of love because of genetics, you don't understand what makes incest meaningful. Incest is the purest form of love BECAUSE you grow up together, you are the people who understand each other the best. Any food incest story will involve the older brother feeling like shit as his feelings for his imouto turn from brotherly protection to outright desire. I would rather read an NBR story where they meet as infants and grow up together than a BR story where they are separated from birth.

Western animation made for older audiences tends to beat all anime in the terms of quality overall. Anime rarely is actually good when it comes the animation aspect.

>>283816125Harem is a garbage genre for eternal virgins.
>>283818895I like harem and im not a virgin, this sounds entirely like a (You) problem.
Fanservice is great, and it can (and should) be easily inserted into any genre or premise.Sex between two or more parties is dull and distracting. Unless the story is specifically framed as a sex comedy or a realistic, grounded setting, I instinctively think less of fictional sex-having couples or harem orgy participants. Authors that can pull-off sex scenes are few and far between.

>>283818680Google will help you better than i can. If you want a kino comic, i recommend The Blast. Surprisingly its been way harder to find comics that are good, superhero slop has ruined western comics.Arcane is the most recent one when it comes to animation. Its a meme to hate it, dont fall for it. I've been watching Love, Death & Robots lately. All the episodes are different short movies made by different studios. Blue zima episode was beyond kino. Some other ones are Room 104, Oats Studios, Electric Dreams, Nightmares and Daydreams, Scavengers reign. For stop motion kino, watch The Mad God.Its not exactly western, but i recommend you check out glass painting animations by Aleksandr Petrov just for the inherent animation quality. My man really decided to make gazillion paintings just so he could get some frames for his animation. His other works are also great.https://youtu.be/aw52Its0YKU

japanese comedy is legitimately bad. it's as if ancient neanderthals just discovered humor. all wordplay, puns, ambiguity, and the straight man and the fool routine.
>>283818844Madoka's plot is kind of the worst part about it, actually, and his insistence on the retarded "different timelines" canonicity just makes it worse. The character writing is good though.

>>283816125I think the obsession with subs over dubs is a key reason in people failing to learn to evaluate the visual quality of anime and failing to notice Japanese animation is on average significantly inferior to western animation, with few exceptions.
/a/ is not that much better than other media boards.
>>283820997If you're not a retarded illiterate there's no reason in 99% of anime that reading subs should take any significant focus away from the rest of the screen. (English) Dubs are ear grating as well and take away from the enjoyment of watching an anime.
>>283816125One Piece is aggressively boring, even if you read the manga. Every fight is drawn out way past what it needs to be, the dialogue is poorly-written, and the art is hideous and due to the style never really improves. Anyone who claims to enjoy it is a victim of the sunk cost fallacy, they've dedicated so much of their life to reading it that they need to justify that time wasted.It is the realm of the pubescent teenager to enjoy Harem anime. It is the realm of the grown man to enjoy romantic comedies where the focus is a couple, a single pair of lovers.Dragonball was never good; it was always at best slightly above average, and otherwise extremely mediocre and people only tout it as good because of its age.Evangelion is for pretentious hipsters and nobody else. It isn't deep, it's just poorly-written garbage and an excuse for the author to write about a teenage boy getting groomed by an older woman and then jerking off on a 14 year old comatose girl, making Anno the Stephen King of Mangaka.Ecchi anime is a dying art, and the medium as a whole is suffering for the puritanization of the world.There aren't enough anime with good opening or ending themes anymore; those parts are an afterthought in most modern anime, and we need them to be good again to truly see the art form gain a resurgence.
>>283821077Spend more time on /v/.
>>283820487Really? I dont think i've seen too many people share that opinion.
>>283820393DESU Overlord is at its best when it's not exploring Ainz himself, but the ripples of his actions on the people around him. In fact, that's when any series like that is at its best. The "Protagonist" should more be a force that other characters must react to, and I wish more anime and manga would do that. What WOULD happen if some dude with impossible powers rocked up - even if he had the best intentions? How would that affect other people native to the world? How would that impact morality? The economy? The environment? That's such an interesting thing, it's like a nature documentary about the aftermath of a tornado, and I wish there were more manga that did that. I also wish I could name some by name, but I generally get the japanese one in romanji, so I couldn't for the life of me name them.
>>283821104The style degrades actually. Early One Piece looks better than current One Piece. I do think the pacing of the manga is currently pretty bad and there is an element of sunken cost but I still do want to know certain things the manga is currently revealing.
Incest is disgusting and wrong, but at least I'm not alone there.

>>283821877My actual problem with haremshit is that 90% of the time it's not a real harem but just noncommittal relationship teasing that either goes nowhere or ends with monogamy because very few authors are actually based enough to play the polygamy card.
>>283819379>Arcane is the most recent one when it comes to animation. Its a meme to hate it, dont fall for it.Okay cool. Except season 2 of Arcane is legitimately a fucking trainwreck that comes nowhere close to the quality of the first season. Save for episode 7, which is probably the best episode of the series. The pacing, character writing, and overall narrative consistency took a headlong dive straight off the edge of a cliff. The animation is exceptional, but that doesn't justify an entire season of nonsensical garbage with only one his episode. Also >>>/co/
>>283816125All het romance series are garbage. Not inherently because they're het, but because Nips can't write relationships between men and women that aren't trash.

>>283816125I think Archer from FMA 2003 was really cool.
>>283816125There's only ever been a handful of actually good played straight magical girl shows that aren't slop, to the point where the amount of good "deconstructions" or "parodies" of the genre outweighs the amount of normal attempts at it and most of those end up being better at the played straight moments too than the regular series.
>>283821653People who say this never watch the originals that are made.
>>283822032That's just an objective fact though.
>>283821948Okay, cool, but OPMS3 doesn't retroactively make S1 shit.
>>283816125Haremfags are pussyfaggots that can't even handle their favorite girl losing, so they compromise by her becoming a side dish. There's more dignity in being a losing heroine than spare onahole number 7.
Poly yuri is good.It's an unpopular opinion because countless people keep telling me that I'm wrong and that I'm the most mentally ill person to ever exist.
>>283822056Don't let /pc/ know. >>283821984I really need to rewatch that after I reread the manga. The more time passes the more I grow fonder of 2003, and conversely see the flaws in Brotherhood (its first episode is dogshit fanfiction).
>>283822032Madoka is the only good magical girl anime that is commonly called a deconstruction and I don't even agree that it is one. When someone calls something a deconstruction it's often because it's something that shows a visible dislike of the genre it's supposedly deconstructing and it is impossible to enjoy it as a part of that genre. They're mostly enjoyed by people who have never liked the genre and enjoy the fact that a piece of media is agreeing with them.

>>283821948So the first season is absolutely magnificent, the second season is also absolutely magnificent but the pacing is a bit inconsistent at parts? Thanks for proving my point. Almost no animu comes to mind which has even comparable quality from the recent years. Personally i think all of the thematic and narrative parts of season 1 were tied together into an extremely well crafted package in season 2. I didn't think the ending would end up being kino, yet it was. I bet you're mad over a single one minute scene. We both know which one im talking about. >Also >>>/co/Question was anime related so you can suck my balls and cry.
>>283822196i just like the artist>second opinionban OPTs
>>283822131That's why I specified parodies too and put them both in quotations. Some people will call Utena a deconstruction too (not that I necessarily agree). That one older series I am blanking on the name of is declaredly a comedy take on the genre but routinely gets recommended as one of the best. MahoAko has such genuine love for the genre it legitimately puts more effort into approaching its tropes than most series do despite being a horny riff on the genre. It's actually crazy how "Magical Girls" is such a strong aesthetic that captivates the hearts of so many people (myself included) despite being majorly composed of slop.
>>283822060Absolutely valid. But the post I was responding to mentioned Arcane in general. Season 2 being a FAR worse piece of media than the first season is a critically important caveat if you're going to mention the quality of the show, let alone recommend it to some poor anon who might have no idea of just how bad the drop in quality will be.
I don't know if this is so much of an opinion as it is a preference, but I cannot get into Azumanga Daioh. I really want to so I can see all the cute and silly things, but it doesn't hold my interest. Maybe I would've liked it 15 years ago.
>>283822047"Original anime" is an inherently vague idea, it's like "Indie game" or "Foreign film", a broad concept that only has few vague elements shared due to similar constraints (Original anime being vaguely "weird" to stand out, indie games being smaller in scale, etc). The issue with such a broad concept is that no one asking for it realizes that it's so broad, so they say they want more originals, then naturally become uninterested when an original comes out that doesn't appeal to their particular interests
>>283822217That's not unpopular, it's true.
>>283822264>the second season is also absolutely magnificent but the pacing is a bit inconsistent at parts?No. The secound season has exceptional animation and ONE good episode. Everything else about it is mid to downright terrible. The pacing isn't a bit inconsistent - it is bar none some of the worst pacing that I've ever seen in any piece of media. Period. The character writing is a disaster, with relationships crumbling and healing in the span of an episode with no narrative justification for the characters suddenly ameliorating their issues with one another. The tone is all the fuck over the place, jumping between, "Sorry sis, I'm gonna go kill myself," and "Let's have lesbian sex immediately after your sister's expression of suicidal ideation - right here in the cell I had her locked up in."It's a fucking trainwreck.
the naruto manga/anime are both better than the fullmetal alchemist manga and both adaptations
>>283822211>"It strikes me that the only real reason to take apart a pocket watch, or a car engine, aside from the simple delight of disassembly, is to find out how it works. To understand it, so you can put it back together again better than before, or build a new one that goes beyond what the old one could do."Kurt Busiek on the topic of deconstructions. He was specifically talking about capeshit, but it applies universally. There is nothing inherently antagonistic in taking a critical look at the tropes and ossified structure of a genre and coming up with new approaches. The best reconstructions in fact necessarily come from a place of love for the genre, because you need intimate familiarity with one to actually properly make something that addresses the core assumptions of it instead of mindless edgeslop. You also seem to assume deconstruction means something it doesn't, which is also why you don't think Madoka can be one because it ends in a hopeful way that lines with the spirit of magical girl. That's simply a cultural misunderstanding on your part, admittedly born from a wave of edgy shit that proclaimed itself a deconstruction while really just being a way for people to shit on genres they disliked while making subpar products.
>>283822217/a/ likes Fairy Tail these days. Which is ironic because they hated it when it was being serialized.
>>283822157this but isekai
>>283816125Machine translation is fine for most things assuming you've got a good proofreader. I would rather have a MT series that is dropped regularly than a perfectly translated series that takes months.
>>283822330I believe the current anime structure people are used to is an issue. People cannot stand episodic 50 episode anime anymore. And so you get brief 12 episode series with some gimmick that people can latch onto instead of having an actually good series that can take its time with the setting and characters. I don't know what magical girl series you watched that had you form this opinion but I also don't think it's an uncommon opinion for the reasons I stated above. Instead of actually committing to a lengthy series, with what are typically called deconstructions these days you can spend 12 weeks (or just binge it later, which is another cancer, binge culture) with it and whatever gimmick they have. And then with a few of those under your belt you can either say you like magical girl anime or you can say everything but deconstructions are shit. >>283822544I don't think Madoka is a deconstruction because it isn't deconstructing anything inherent to the magical girl genre and instead sets up its own internal logic that it then takes apart. While also doing the "haha what if this was real and caused suffering" shit I was talking about. Same with Utena, though Utena isn't even putting on the facade of being a magical girl series and so I have no idea where the idea that Utena is a deconstruction of magical girls comes from.
>>283822484>"Original anime" is an inherently vague ideaIt's actually a very well defined idea. Anything that isn't a direct adaptation of something is original for the purposes of what I'm asking. Anything that isn't a sin against art and an inherent rape of human creativity.

>>283816499you must be new here

>>283822665>Anything that isn't a sin against art and an inherent rape of human creativity.Imagine watching fucking Haruhi Suzumiya, an anime adaptation, and taking this sentiment away from that experience. What a cold, soulless existence you must lead. I mourn for you, anon. It must must really suck to be so fucking miserable.
>>283822656If you're not posting in the PriOrche threads you're not qualified to continue this discussion.
>>283822749Rape can lead to the birth of a beautiful human, but it does not make the act itself less sinful. Haruhi itself is actually one of the main culprits that have brought me to this conviction. The endless limbo of wait for a new season. The lack of any certainty regarding quality. The inherent perversion and disparity between media. All of this is fundamentally wrong no matter how pleasant the experience itself was.
>>283817450>Steins;Gate is more overrated than most shounenshitOf course it is? Shounen is popular but it's never been acclaimed or considered to be top shelf anime while S;G is. That said I never thought S;G lived up to its reputation when I watched it.

>>283822930>completed>173Absolute fucking rookie numbers. Not even worth offering an opinion on the subject.
I like the original Higurashi dub.
>>283822665So are "Indie game" and "Foreign film". I'm not arguing it can't be defined, I'm arguing it's too broad of a concept, fans of romcoms are likely to give a new romcom a chance because they already like the concept, plot structure and tropes, same goes for fans of isekai, battle shonen, etc. You don't have that with original anime, because they also fall under the same genres. A guy who enjoyed an original CGDCT show has no reason to expect he'll enjoy an original racing show.
>>283822973Why yes. Yes I have. I've also read Legend of the Galactic Heroes. Both examples of anime adaptations that are incredibly highly regarded. Both series where I think the source material is even better than their adaptations. Both of them still undeniable masterpieces in their own right.

>>283823006>Both series where I think the source material is even better than their adaptationsThen there is no reason for the adaptations to exist. They merely muddy the waters and give broader masses an inferior version to latch on to. Culture shouldn't need self degradation just to achieve a higher reach.

>>283823084Severely autistic it is. I was making a broad point about adaptations being a cultural cancer on a conceptual level. All genres should be purged from them. People should seek out and experience the raw, pure source of the fiction they enjoy, not be pigs unwilling to consume what doesn't conform to their tastes. The social conception of a manga's quality and success being measured by its ability to get an anime needs to be eradicated.

>>283823215But don't you know, anon? You can only appreciate great manga once you've read Phoenix. After you do that, you too will drop 75% of the manga you attempt to read.
>>283816333That is exactly what Blaster knuckle was
>>283823239I read and love Phoenix and still enjoy most of the manga I read. The idea that reading a good manga will make you hate everything else is something I have never understood.
>>283823006>Yes I haveDid you actually read them, or did you merely peruse the rape committed upon them by the gruesome evil known as translation?
>>283823239i loved phoenix, but this is a very low quality bait
>>283821104>There aren't enough anime with good opening or ending themes anymore; those parts are an afterthought in most modern anime, and we need them to be good again to truly see the art form gain a resurgence.Agreed, also to add to this nothing makes me seethe more than to see someone skip a good opening/ending when watching anime
>>283823238Boruto
>>283823110Can't help it, man cannot rebuild himself without breaking first>>283823173Maybe it's you who has severe autism then, studios expect to be paid, if you truly believe that adaptations are a cultural cancer, then the only option for you and all the other people who just want "Originals" is to support any that comes out, even if they don't exactly adhere to your interests. This might not seem like much, but surely it's more than just waiting for that one moment once per decade where you get an original that caters to your exact tastes
>>283823321nah, it's fine-good. anime sucks ass with fillers and shit
>>283823292I know, anon. I was being sardonic. Reading manga is fun. I can't imagine hating my favorite hobby so much that I would drop the vast majority of manga that I read. And I've dropped more manga than I could ever hope to count.
>>283823327Anon, I don't live in Japan. Believe it or fucking not, torrenting subbed anime doesn't support the studios. I have no active way of supporting originals beyond shilling them around, which I routinely do and routinely get called a faggot for on this board. Try being less retarded.
>>283823300Bait used to be believable.
>>283823393>I have no active way of supporting originals beyond shilling them aroundYou could buy the blurays and other merch.
>>283823238sure, here's 10 terrible manga that someone should only read if they are trying to waste their life>Dance in the Vampire Bund>Usogui>Suicide Girl>Clover (CLAMP)>Astra Lost in Space>Alice in Borderland>Lucifer and the Biscuit Hammer>Blast of Tempest>Shin Angyo Onshi>Zatch Bell!I am very excited to see you defend any of this shit. I stuck to stuff with over 10k members with at least a score of 7 on mal.
>>283823399This isn't bait. It's a fundamental part of understanding literature. If you don't read in the original language you are only experiencing the abstract part of the writing, but not the craft itself. This is a huge fucking thing historically, actually. To this day people still debate which translation of Anna Karenina you should read because none can truly capture the artistic craft that goes into the use itself of the language, merely the concepts contained in it.
>>283823452>>Alice in Borderlandnot him but take it back
>>283823452not a single bad manga in this list. maybe you're just too much of a faggot who's having a burn out?
>>283823429Or I could buy food and not die of starvation.
/a/'s obsession over cowtits has to stop, ss I've said for many many years now. B cups are prefect already. C cups are meh.Everything above it is disgusting to say the least. These lumps of fat are not only vomit inducing at times, they are plainly unesthetic to look at. Just imagine having two huge fat jugs in your chest all day. Just looking at them in anime. Fuck. I want to just throw up all over. The feeling I get is very similar to a man farting in your face.That is why boob fat reduction is a thing and rightfully so, thank god. Plainly, if your waifu has cowtits, then you don't really care for your waifu because her back hurts all day from those disgusting pigchests.Anyway to not have a rant about it, cowtits are absolutely disgusting and is essentially a fetish that stems from infancy.
>>283816125None of the shows on /a/'s top anime lists are good, and I genuinely believe thatFrom flcl through evangelion to whatever seasonal slop is released nowadays
>>283823494no can do, unfortunately you wasted your life reading that :/>>283823509so you're not familiar with any of them. could have just said that!
>>283823314Princession has good openings.
>>283816125Asterisk War > Rakudai Kishi
>>283823452Astra and Biscuit Hammer are both great. >>283823463You're delusional if you don't realize translation has been in existence since literature has existed. Yes, you're obviously not getting the full complete experience with a translation. But it's not practical to learn a dozen or more languages to get the full complete experience of things rather than still get enough to go by through translations. And people argue about translations because different ones prioritize different things. >>283823518Man, I didn't realize literally everyone in Japan that's responsible for whether an anime lives or dies is starving because of their support.
>>283823535MAL's top list is worse.
>>283823563People living in Japan don't have to deal with shipping costs that are higher than the price of the merch they're buying.
>>283823393>I have no active way of supporting originals beyond shilling them aroundMoney is a universal language, buy the blu-ray, buy the soundtrack, buy merch.>Which I routinely do and routinely get called a faggot forAnon, it's the basket weaving forum, everyone is gonna be called a faggot every once in a while, you can't let that stop you from sharing what you like (Look at me, you called me a retard and I still don't mind replying to you). The main reason I always come back here is that despite all the shit-talking, you always ultimately find a fan of anything
>>283823452Astra, Alice in Borderland, and Zatch Bell are all serviceable to good manga. You really do just hate fun.
>>283823155how tasteless does somebody have to be to actually think there's no such thing as bad manga?you sound like those kpop stans who think their favorite idol doesn't poop
>>283823563>it's not practical to learn a dozen or more languages to get the full complete experience of thingsThis is weakling cope. There's more than enough worthwhile literature in the languages I already know to carry me over as I learn the ones I'm missing. I'll be reading Les Mis in its original version next year. German is next. Then Spanish. Japanese or Russian after that. If you have given up on constantly improving yourself throughout your life that's your fucking problem.
>>283823524>in your chestjealous female detected
>>283823644LARPing as a polyglot on 4chan doesn't make you cool, anon.
>>283823595>buy the blu-ray, buy the soundtrack, buy merchWe're talking about niche anime and you reason in terms of popslop. Pathetic.
>>283816125Jojo is the gayest anime of all time in par with bnp.
>>283823592I buy shit from Japan all the time and while it's not cheap, unless you have literally no income you should be able to get things here and there rather than saying that because you can't get everything you might as well just not buy anything.
>>283823658No need to LARP when you're fortunate enough to not be a burger.
>>283823644So you don't actually know Japanese, but you're shitposting on /a/ that people can only have a valid opinion on Japanese media if they're fluent in the language?
>>283816125Ghibli films are really boring and I would rather watch any seasonal isekai over any of them.
>>283823682I'm pretty sure most Jojofags will readily admit that's the case, anon.
>>283823708>everyone is the same person>>283823682JoJo fans will agree.
>>283823563>>283823602Astra is one I can agree with them on. That's the most soulless sci-fi manga I've ever tried reading.
>>283823708No, you fucking retard, I'm specifically talking about literature.
>>283823644I'd rather spend my time reading manga in Japanese rather than jumping from language to language to read your /lit/core bullshit when I can get 90% of the experience by reading an English translation. Especially when it would involve learning filthy Romance languages.
>>283823690And the "can't read" award goes to:
>>283823673Studios ultimately want to get money, you can pay up to show that a market is there, or keep rambling like a schizo in the Korean cabbage fermenting forum while nothing changes. The choice is ultimately yours
>>283816170These days you are likely to be coworkers or neighbors or even friends (at least acquaintances) with a shounentard, anon. They are everywhere now. My tiny Midwestern workplace of 25 people has 4 normalfags in their 20s/30s who talk about shounen all the time. You know, the type of people who say>I'm a huge anime fan brooo I'm so nerdy hahaAnd all they watch is fucking demon slayer, mha, jjk, one piece, etc.
>>283823790I'm buying stuff from Japan while living in the US. You're making every excuse in the book to not support anime you like.
>>283823754So subtitles are sufficient to form an opinion on anime despite the nuance that may necessarily be lost in translation, but the same does not apply to literature? Got it. See >>283823708
>baits ittnot a single believable "unpopular opinion" itt
>>283823732>>everyone is the same personYou know what? Fair. My mistake.
>>283823826Because /a/ is so fundamentally contrarion that it's almost impossible to put forth an opinion that hasn't been expressed a thousand times over. There's no such thing as consensus here. Every opinion is simultaneously popular and unpopular.
>>283823791Maybe art should be made for art's sake. But also this whole argument is retarded, some of the most successful and merchified anime ever were originals.
>>283823821Yes, and to believe otherwise is to fundamentally not understand the art of writing.
You're no better than a casual manga fan if most of what you read came out after the 80s
>>283823884>I don't want to spend my money on the things connected to anime I like, but the people who make that anime should do it for free with no monetary return
>>283823814Post your salary and cost of living of your residential area. Then point to where I said I never buy anything (it's nowhere but within your own head, a fabrication of your broken mind).
>>283823922No, you retard, art should be paid for by the state.
Accel's stories have been shit since OT ended and hamazura gets way too much hate.
>>283823935Saying you have no way to support originals you like and that you have to choose between doing that and staying alive sure sounds like you're saying you don't buy anything. >>283823957>actual literal communist on /a/
>>283823884>art should be made for art's sakeNothing wrong with the sentiment, but we need to be realistic, animation of any kind takes a lot of time and effort. You simply can't expect to get a team going just by "We're making art!", and anyone willing to fund them is obviously gonna want their money back
>>283823977That's because you can't read.
>>283823996Then they should include girls with big bandonkadonks. No need to tie yourself to a manga for that.
>>283823902>old good new bad
>>283816125There's no reason for a romcom to continue much longer after the main couple gets together
>>283822520The only example you mentioned was the very scene i said we both knew about. You just got assblasted by lesbian sex, thats it.
>>283816125I think well used AI will unironically make for better products.
bleach has the best fan service out of any manga
>>283824048yes, for the reasons that the pioneers created more inspired works that didn't rely on tropes as heavily as mangaka have done since the 90s. dragonball was the last pioneering manga
>>283816125Animation quality has taken an industry wide nosedive throughout the last decade. The anime people used to make fun of as not particularly good overall 10 years ago would crush the majority of the current competition on animation quality alone.
>>283823900Go it. See >>283823708
>>283824111Man has not written a single original work since the Epic of Gilgamesh. You're just too uneducated to realise how derivative your "pioneers" were.
>>283824111Yu Yu Hakushō came out after Dragon Ball and it's influence on battle shōnen has been just as formative and indelible as the latter. And that's not to mention the incalculable impact of Hiei, who isn't even the protagonist of the manga but has served as one of the primary inspirations for three and a half decades of dark edgelord and ironic chūnibyō characters to have followed. That's just one example. You're fucking stupid.
>>283824111Being more original doesn't make something good. Do you really think tropes didn't exist in the 80s? This is the issue with a lot of these discussions is that people don't recognize things when they were done in older things but notice them in newer things and so they assume the older ones weren't going by some playbook when that is absolutely not the case.
>>283824145manga is a relatively new medium where writing is only part of it. please try again
>>283824076Eh, if it’s already a shitty anime then who cares. But imagine someone telling you that KyoAni used AI to make Violet Evergarden -- the magic would be gone instantly. And if every other anime suddenly had VEG-level quality, it would get old really fast.
>>283816125There needs to be an attempt at a series with yaoy elements that's aimed at a general public and not just specifically at fags and fujos. Plenty of series have incorporated yuri and there are even yuri series with mass appeal. Yaoy should do the same.
>>283824188you're conflating being influential with being a pioneering work.
>>283824198Art is an order of magnitude older than writing. Open a prehistory book.
>>283824196of course tropes existed in the 80s. they just weren't relied on as much (which is what I wrote if you could fucking read)
>>283824239You're incapable of distinguishing between derivative works from one era and derivative works from another.
>>283824231We already got that, anon. It was called Yuri on Ice - which is the height of irony.
>>283824227I agree with him, I think AI would be huge for creating in between frames and massively reduce that workload, you'd be able to make more impressive animation overall.
>>283824227>it would get old really fast to eat good food every day instead of having to chew through sawdust for half the week
I don't get the appeal of slice of life anime. It's just so damn boring. /a/ will rave about Nichijou or March Comes in like a Lion like they're the best anime of all time, but they just put me to sleep.
>>283824258Shit in the 80s was just as trope filled as shit now. Based on your other posts you have no idea what you're talking about and think that you're hot shit for reading a few popular 80s manga.
>>283822822Steins;Faggots overrate their anime a lot though I wouldn't say that it's exactly bad.
>>283824253again, art is only part of it. you really have no respect for manga if you think it's just art + writing. it's telling a story with art through paneling that makes the medium new
>>283824227Is VE good?
>>283824297>AI would be huge for creating in between framesWe already have that and it looks like shit.
>>283824339Asking whether or not a series is good on /a/ is guaranteed to get you both a "yes" and a "no".That being said, I haven't seen it, but everyone I know who has thinks it's fantastic.
>>283824332>it's telling a story with art through paneling that makes the medium newOkay, anon, now go read the original Superman comics published 50 years before your precious 80s pioneers.
>>283824370I never said the 80s were the height of pioneering works. I said the 80s was the tail end of it, with dragon ball being the last example. of course most pioneering works predate the 80s. please learn how to read
>>283824339>>283824368watched it a few days ago and it is indeed fantastic, especially Violet's seiyuu.
>>283824325It's still one of the best anime series ever made, the rampant contrarianism you few idiots do on this board is just pathetic.
>>283824363It works good for video games, mostly because those are actually optimized models specifically designed for that and integrated into the workflow rather than crappy shit someone on xitter applied to existing animation with no finesse. It can be made to work. It's also undeniably going to speed up the background colouring process.
>>283819379>Arcane is the most recent one when it comes to animation. Its a meme to hate it, dont fall for it.Arcane has the direction style of a music video. It ruins the impact. People that like Mad God only watch the first like half-hour and then turn it off.
>>283824404It's unfortunately inferior to its original to such a point it taints any purported quality it may have.
>>283824308>it would be good to eat the same food, made with the same ingredients, same flavor, same seasoning, and the same plating every day of your lifeAlso,>food analogy
berserk got better after muira died
>>283824451>>it would be good to eat the same food, made with the same ingredients, same flavor, same seasoning, and the same plating every day of your lifeAnon, you realize the pretty cure thread is one of the most active ones on the board, right? But also quality!=style.
>>283824423Anon, I'm including video games.>those are actually optimized modelsThere is nothing optimized about vidya visuals in the current decade. Please do research on this.
>>283824499Too fucking poor to afford a 5090, are you?
>>283824448It's literally the only good visual novel adaptation ever made.
>>283824514
manga/anime drawings can only convey about 10 percent of all human emotion, which is why live action adaptations are superior to both
>>283816329And she's MINE, you can't have her!
>>283824516That doesn't contradict my point. Taking away the fact that you actually get to tt yourself massively hampers the quality and makes the anime a watered down version of the IP.
