I think it’s time to admit these two have more in common than we thought.
one is based and the other is cringe, they couldn't be more different

>>287359818Miyazaki is an artist and no art will survive the current age. People will look at his flawless, technical masterpieces the way people today look at Homer - with awe, mild disinterest and unwillingness to engage with the depth of his work.Tomino's work, on the other hand, represents the future. Flawed under every aspect (animation, writing, direction), and fully intertwined with the most base capitalist mechanisms (selling toys), he STILL managed to convey interesting ideas, meaning, depth. Gundam and his characters age like fine wine, and they open for creatives all around a world a path of survival: not to commit to obsolete ideas of art, but to fully hijack western ideologies (capitalism, markets, cult-like fandoms), by tricking producers into thinking you'll just sell toys, when you're sending the deepest, most articulate anti-war message on the planet, talking about echology, human evolution, sexuality, love and death.If any form of complex discourse survives the tiktokification of the internet, Tomino will be a bigger object of study for future generations than Miyazaki. Gundam in general is an archetypical case-study when it comes to defining pop culture and its market dynamics, as well as its potential for innovation, its limits, and so on.I fucking love robots.
