>>287778406>Says the guy whose directorial skills has declined massivelyFucking coward just adapt Gaia Gear into an anime already!
>>287778406He's right about directorial skill and emotional numbness, but no, you can still make hopeful stories.
old good new bad
>>287778406I have never met this man. He is not my friend. The conversations he has are none of my business
>>287778406>Recent anime productions have seen a decline in directorial skillMust be talking about himself.
>>287778406>muh war is badxenophobia is good actually
>>287778406He was right about Attack on Titan a decade ago, he's probably right again
>>287778406Something something meaty pussy
I have no hope for the future and crave escapism
that's coming from the guy who directed a mecha anime where everyone fucking dies.
>>287778866They died for a good cause, thats very honorable and beautiful you baka gajin.
>>287778406>hopeful storiesWhat does that mean?
Like 50 years ago the media was constantly manufacturing new people as the voice of a new generation, but for the last 30 years or so they lost all real authority to do so. So we're left with this gap where guys from the fucking 70s and 80s are still being jerked off when they're 90 and telling people to work harder or China will beat them.
>>287778959Xabungle
>>287778866Yet it ends with a hopeful ending.
>>287778406I think because it's because making sad and nihilistic stories is easier than hopeful ones it requieres least effort to make your watcher believe "man this shit is deep i'm so smart for watching and understanding this"
Viewers nowadays have no intellectual capacity to understand what they're even looking at
>>287779384Funny enough, Tomino has lectured in China and saw promise for the future of animation there.
No he's a total retard and we already had thread in archive shitting on him and his retarded takes.It's pretty common for washed-up irrelevant directors to trashtalk young and inspiring people in industry so they cope with their irrelevancy. Tomino doesn't watch anime. He doesn't know any names of modern anime directors. He just talks random shit.
>>287779600It's just a ploy to squeeze Jap kids harder.
>>287778406Just make a typical modern anime.
>>287779667bait
>>287779667shut up retard.he gave a shoutout to Yuasa for his debut film mind game, has praised Hosoda, mentored Shinkai early on and is quite amiable with T. Araki.
>>287778406He should have said "don't give participation trophies to 90 year old men"
>>287779950desuarchive.org/a/thread/287654428/
>>287779978OMG! He's real anime fan watching real hidden gems of industry! Shinkai anime is so grimdark and hopeless! Viewers can't even feel emotions! Direction has fallen! >meanwhile gundumb directionI'm shaking. This....is...Tarkovsky tier...peak cinema...with deep anit-war hopeful massage. Sasuga Tomino-sama.
>>287779889>/pol/shit edit
>>287780079>moves the goalpostshoot yourself in the head faggot.
>>287780433>moves the goalpostFallacy fallacy
>>287778406>Decline in directorial skillI watched the first few episodes of King Gainer earlier this week and I hope he's not holding himself up as sort of master director. He goes multiple episodes without showing an establishing shot of the dome city convoy where the entire first skirmish takes place. it's only after the battle is over an episode later that you get a full picture of where the battle even happened. Good show otherwise but that was fucking amateur hour.
>>287778866Let's be honest. The audience was sick of every character that died so nothing of value was lost.
>>287778406The decline has been here for a long time. The otaku generation that began directing in the 80s was already inferior to that of Takahata, Miyazaki, Dezaki, Sugii, Tomino, Rintaro, etc.
>>287780141Don't you have Girls: The Anime to watch?
>>287780079That looks kino tho
>>287782177Don't you have Westoid Slop: The Anime to watch?
>>287780079How can they hear each other speaking?
anime is all eastern so it cant be westernDo people here actually watch anime?
>>287783203New type powers
>>287783203Teamspeak
>>287780830Following the established "logical" progression for showing a story unfold "correctly" is how you end up with boring mass produced crap.
>>287779527There's nothing hopeful about glorifying the afterlife.
>>287778406100% correct
>>287779527Unless your name is Katejina lol
>>287786410Survived one of the most brutal wars in the history of mankind, is still young, can still become a motherThis is an insanely hopeful ending for Tomino
>>287786435lol no>>>/m/23776315
>>287778406Just because he's correct it doesn't mean he's right
Yes but it has nothing to do with directors being shit. Reality is just so hopeless it's leeching into fiction.
Apocalypse Hotel was very hopeful. Hes just a retard
>>287778516I can tell if directing is good or bad and I'm sure that i would be awful at it
>>287778406there are still good anime, but they don't get the budget, and instead the budget is wasted on forcefully pushed crap that they aggressively market everywhere
Why is Tardmino so fucking shit? Everyone praises Be Invoked as a masterpiece when it wasn't even directed by him in the first place.
Why is the the mauritanian having a mental breakdown in here?
Why is /a/ so fucking shit now. I'm sick of this.
>>287790139I feel it too. Even slice of life threads are full of complaining schizos with an agenda. Basically the bad elements thrive here and shit up everything. At least the mods used to fight them. Now it's like they support them.
>>287778406He's right, but that's also completely obvious.
>>287790182Then let's stop playing by their rules and do what's necessary for the board.
>>287790264What is the necessary thing?
>>287778406Frieren is hopeful. CITY was hopeful (quite deliberately). Anyone who wants to make a hopeful story can, and does.
>>287790330Requires too much coordination by too many posters to work.
>>287790351
>>287778406Of courseBut it's not just a decline in directorial skillSource material is weakerVoice acting direction is worseAnimation and composition and storyboarding and layouts and character design and color work and everything else visual is worse Music is worseWriting is worseetc.Anime is slop these days, so is manga
Does the spamming anti-tomino schizo have a name?
>>287779667>No he's a total retard and we already had thread in archive shitting on him and his retarded takes.>posts a trashy modern traninme girlYour post goes straight into the trash
>>287790705>Music is worsenotable music today, i.e. what i download on my drive, is not bad in the least. not at all.>[manga] is slop these daysthe novel adaptations are kind of slop yeah, excluding pretty ones like the prettier kusuriya.
Okay, we're obviously being raided, but who is it and why do they care about some washed highly-opinionated internet faggot like busterbeam? im just kidding i dont hate him
>>287778635What did he say about Attack on Titan?
>>287790784Opening and Endings in particular are very generic and samey these days Music direction is also worse, BGM is overused compared to the past where there were more silent scenes for atmosphere, even in shonen stuff like Dragon Ball/ZLNs are rancidI was talking about mangaKids in Japan aren't reading them because they are shit/unappealing to them and they are gatekept by digital apps because they have no access to credit cardsMost of the money the manga industry is making now is from digital-only shit aimed at adult otaku, with the traditional manga magazines bleeding money with Jump being a noteworthy example with its circulation numbers falling from almost 3 million in Q4 2010 to only 1 million in Q4 2025(probably now under a million in Q1 2026 but JMPA refuses to print the numbers for some reason)Mind you, since Jump is the biggest mag the other mags are doing even worseThe decline in artistic and writing quality in manga impacts the anime world in a big way
>>287791120>Opening and Endings in particular are very generic and samey these daysdon't care that much about them>Music direction is also worse>BGM is overused compared to the past where there were more silent scenes for atmosphereperhaps, i admit in something like mahouka s3 they used their best track far too much and for everything they could cram it into, when they could have used any from the previous seasons. i do remember osts by their louder tracks. there is less guitar in genres i watch, less typical orchestrals like full metal panic (that's just because technology advanced).>The decline in artistic and writing quality in manga impacts the anime world in a big waymanga or VN adaptations seem to be a smaller cut of the season chart compared to 2000s, but sure, if there were better manga that sell, maybe they would be getting shows made to high standard like frieren.
>>287791348>don't care that much about themExactly>manga or VN adaptations seem to be a smaller cut of the season chart compared to 2000sThere are a lot of manga adaptations these days, and far less originals(much less compelling ones) compared They are also producing more and more anime in hopes of promoting manga/ln sales but it just doesn't workAny shit nowadays gets an anime, meanwhile look back at the 2000s and 90s where there were legitimate huge hit manga who didn't have an anime or maybe at best an OVA episode or live action adaptationManga fails to sell on its own nowadaysFrieren was an okay seller before the anime, the anime is not even that great compared to works of the past but notably better than the standard fare you get these dayBut again, Frieren is yet another series that is aimed at adults(despite it being serialized on Sunday). Japanese kids aren't watching a late-night show.What most Jap kids are watching is a 30 year old anime like Detective Conan at 6PM.
>>287778429This. If you've ever seen G Reconguista, his direction skills are fucking trash these days.
>>287779600While it's just two movies, I watched Legend of Hei and its sequel and they had all watercolor backgrounds and perfectly smooth animation without feeling forced. (albeit with simplistic characters) Pretty nice. Not sure if there's anything else from China at that level though.
>>287784771Originality does not make a story not boring
>>287778406I don't know what this fossil considers a "hopeful story", but anime certainly has become corporate slop in the last decade and will only get sloppier when studios start using AI.
>>287778406Considering anime is now aimed at zoomers and gen alpha, yes, he is correct
>>287792305>Considering anime is now aimed at gen alphaLMAO noGen Alpha nip kids watch Conan at 6PMWhat is being aimed at them?Most anime is being made for adults now
>>287792354The oldest gen alpha is 16 years old, at that age i was already watching evangelion and GTO lolIt seems you haven't realized anime was aimed at teens first and foremost.
Martian Successor Nadesico - Prince of Darkness
>>287792492Sure, but you can't discount the younger gen alphiesAnd nips are a different breedThey generally play by the rules and won't stay up late at night when they have to go to school tomorrowMost Anime was aimed at 8-13 year olds back in the dayNowadays it's mostly aimed at adult otakuThere is nothing new and good for the younger generationHence most Nip kids are watching Doraemon and Conan They aren't staying up to watch Frieren
>>287778406>Impossible to create hopeful stories>Pays his animators peanuts and outsources the rest to china and KoreaI wonder why...
>>287792561MYSTERY NIGGAS
>>287778406Hard to buy into hopeful stories after you're a good bit into adulthood and feel completely hopeless and miserable and have come to understand that the hopeful stuff that you believed in from anime while growing up doesn't actually happen
>>287792123G-reco is his top 5 work
>>287778406His animations aren't any better
holy fuark are we back
>>287796460wait wasn't the yamato nadeshiko thing or whatever slated to be his last project fuck i love this man i hope he stays angry at the world forever
>>287796460>I want to make an unwatchable, anti-entertainment piece of media ever happened to mankind
>>287791038He said that hacksayama must have been bullied, who used manga to vent his frustration. Fast forward 10 years and he was right.
>>287796886based
>>287796460I know he probably has the right at this point, but is it really normal to say out loud "this thing I'm working on is likely a masterpiece"? Especially in a country like Japan?
>>287778406>Old man says the past was better than the presentWhy is this news?
>>287798984He's lived 86 years as a corny huckster, you think he's going to stop?
>>287778635Yet /a/ was still salivating over how BASED it was until it was too late, why didn't they listen
>>287790705If you watch 50 anime every season of course you'll think there's a decline.People who watch 2-3 things a year at most stay winning.
>>287778406Head up ass. He didn't do emotional. He did serviceable. His creativity is lucas level of inserted frame.
>>287778406>be hopeful man>all your politicians every single one wants to replace you with ugly brownsHmm
>>287778406never has been ever about anything
>>287780830KING KING KING GAINER
cant wait until this faggot dies
>>287796886the issue is that he wasnt bullied enough actually, otherwise he wouldnt have pussied out and ruined the entire thing
>>287778406Few years ago, there's something called Kemono Friends. It contain both thing mentioned in OP pic, hopeful stories and good direction that makes the viewers feels something.It got killed by corporate politic, not by the fans, sales or director skill.
