New anime: >basic >bright and faded>Lineless>Saccharine. Older anime: >Acidic>shaded and glowing >bold lined>edgyWhat happened?
>>288033520
>>288033520On /co/ we call it calArts
>>288033520>What happened?Nothing. The top images are just drawn by a specific animator (Osamu Yamane) who's ridiculously good at drawing, it doesnt usually look that good. You're just a covid tourist retard that thinks old = good
The top screenshot is an absolute outlier episode for the original anime, it was simply the best bleach has ever looked. Also the only episode where Grimmjow's hollow mask acts like jaws instead of an ornament. Also old anime was for men and new anime is for metrosexuals and fujoshi.
>old OPa faggot>new OPa faggotNothing changed.
>>288033520Disingenuous engagement bait cherrypick
>>288033620>old = goodAlways true btw
>>288033520I mean, weren't people complaining about the new Bleach seasons always having those harsh lights and shadows? The shot picked to represent it doesn't really represent most of it at all.
>>288033520Anime is devolving.
>>288034594Those are the same anime, same episode even.
>>288034621
>>288034594Incredible image
>>288034633That's also the joke
Pleeeeeease care about bleach...
>>288033620The tourist is you, older is better but clearly faggots like you differ and go "fanservice is distracting from story, increase the fujo service" .
>>288037151New Bleach has much more fanservice than old Bleach you stupid fucking retard
>>288033745Worst of all its bait ripped directly from Twitter
>>288033520While Ichigo first fight vs Grimmjow was goated, it absolutely didn't look like that most of the timehttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WezUtUh1I8Qhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bv0o1gnfJyM
>>288033589Fuck off
>>288033620>Anon observes greater quality in a past work, questions why that was not maintained>Slap him with "old = good" to paint him as an idiot because thinking is hard
>>288033520both is good
>>288034594This image is a meme but it's unironically like that now
>>288033626>Also the only episode where Grimmjow's hollow mask acts like jaws instead of an ornament.So the mask actually moves like a jaw would move?
Shading difficult, small independent studio. Please understand.
>>288033620>The top images are just drawn by a specific animator (Osamu Yamane) who's ridiculously good at drawing,Is Osamu Yamane still working in the industry? I'm surprised, how did you know that was his work?
>>288033520goysloppa process applied to anime
>>288038683I believe he is still working. Osamu Yamane did one of the major components of early bleach action along with nakamori, he has animated some of the most iconic moments from the show such as Ikkaku vs Edrad, Ichigo first bankai release and Ichigo vs Kenpachi.He is also one of the main animators from Hajime no Ippo his animation does contains a more deeper shading, higher line counts and more details than usual
>>288033520Lizardface Bleach is soul.
>>288039441This, unironically.
>>288037246>new bleach has more fanservice.>removed scenes of manga.>girls battles that lasted several chpaters reduced to 3 minutes.Right...... more fanservice... ( =w=)7
>>288039929>>removed scenes of manga.Removed one scene from the manga while the original old Bleach anime was censored to hell and back>Right...... more fanservice... ( =w=)7Yes
>>288033620It's amazing how much of an anime's quality is at the mercy of an animator's skills, sometimes I take it too much for granted.
>>288033520i can cherrypick too
If only the average Bleach episode in 07 looked like that, 2000s Pierrot was THE slop factory.
>>288040521What's wrong with this one? He looks just like me.
>>288033520but why can't we actually have coloring and sharper lines closer to top than bottom
>>288033520Pajeet AI
>>288039929>( =w=)7Who are you saluting?
>>288033520LMAO BLEACH IS A HUGE FLOP. How do you successfully end up on reports for years and then disappear with a NEW FUCKING ANIME OUT.Bleachtards need to come to terms that the new anime is a complete flop. The marketing is shit, the anime looks like shit, the characters are shit, and the direction is OPM levels of ugly ass colors of retarded, and the story is just shit. And the level of astroturfing paid by pierrot because the studio is flopping and and losing talent is just desperate.
>>288033520A lot of different trends converged at once. The short version is:Older anime was designed around limitations and physical media. Newer anime is designed around digital pipelines, streaming, global audiences, and production speed.That changed the *look* dramatically.Here’s the breakdown.---## 1. Digital coloring replaced cel animationMost anime before the early 2000s was painted on physical cels over hand-painted backgrounds.That process naturally created:* richer shadows* uneven textures* deeper contrast* glowing highlights* “dirty” color blending* harsher line weightThat’s why older shows often feel:* gritty* atmospheric* acidic/neon* tactileThink of classics like:* Cowboy Bebop* Neon Genesis Evangelion* Serial Experiments Lain* AkiraDigital coloring made things:* cleaner* flatter* faster to revise* easier to mass-produceBut it also removed a lot of accidental texture and contrast.---## 2. Modern production committees optimize for broad appealModern anime is heavily financed through “production committees” aiming for:* merch* mobile game collabs* clips on social media* international streaming* waifu/husbando marketabilityThat pushes designs toward:* softer faces* simpler forms* brighter palettes* easier readability on phonesHence:* pastel palettes* soft gradients* low visual aggression* “safe cute”The “saccharine” feeling you describe is partly intentional commercial design.---## 3. Linework changed because animation volume explodedAnime studios now produce *way* more content every season than in the 80s/90s.Bold linework is labor-intensive:* variable line thickness* heavy shadows* detailed in-between framesModern pipelines favor:* thin lines* simplified anatomy* less shading* compositing effects instead of drawn detail“Lineless” isn’t literally no lines — it’s reduced visual separation.
>>288041316ok
Holy shit the amount of chat gpt in this thread. This anime has so little fans now they need ai to keep the threads going.
>>288041316I have come to terms
>>288038737>Ikkaku vs Edrad, Ichigo first bankai release and Ichigo vs Kenpachi.Jesus Christ. Bleach wouldn't be the same without this man's work.
>>288033520What didn't happen.
>>288033520disingenousthat shit was like 2 seconds of good budget in old bleach in 1 episode and then never seen againI do agree modern anime colouring and shading is flat and overexposed
>>288040627>2000s Pierrot was THE slop factory.exactly they don't even know
