From new interview with Noritaka Kawaguchi (CoMix Wave chairman).>The (anime) industry doesn't have a staff shortage problem, it has a project overload problem. And that's mostly because of the amount of TV anime being produced. If you look at the number of anime films being produced, it has gone up in recent years, but it hasn't changed that much compared to the output of the early 2010s. Now for TV anime, the amount of shows being released every season is outrageous. In some cases, it more than tripled compared to what was coming out less than a decade ago.>That created a lot of issues for the entire industry. As someone pretty much only involved in the production of high-quality original anime films, it's gotten a lot harder to recruit talent good enough and ready to work on full scale original anime films.>We had to invest and acquire our own background art house (Studio Bihou) in order to secure the staff necessary to deliver Makoto Shinkai's next film. >Background art for TV anime is often very cheap and low quality. The difference in artistic value between TV anime and full scale film productions is jarring. So it's really difficult to find new talent that is worth recruiting. The only TV anime with decent background art are the ones employing film art directors and background artists.https://youtu.be/Wn8zg6kKeR8
>TV anime is hurting the industry, it's cheap and offers zero artistic valueStill more artistic value than any Shinkaislop
>>288800674Bring back OVAs (don't know if you could). The closest thing to anime art I've seen was in a movie, the rare 12/13 episode anime that has a vision, or OVAs.
>>288800738Cope
TV anime is also what pays the bills for these animation studios. There's a reason that Toei has persisted for decades despite shitting out incredibly low-quality shit while doing high-budget animated OVAs & movies cause studios to go bankrupt.
>>288800761ONA's get made all the time..You people just ignore them all because Netflix buys the streaming rights
>>288800761>anime art is if it looks kinoart involves more than looking kino. Only low live monkeys call art everything that looks kino.Then you have youtube essayist doing the most on their videos to make their assessment of "this ova is art because looks kino" as something d33p and trascendental when is a shallow "it just look kino".K-On is as influential as Monogatari, arguably more trascendental than it on japan, not because of its look alone, for example.
>>288800968keion is slop for suicidally depressed middle aged salarymen with schoolgirl fetishes. its anti-art.
>>288800793My God, that looks awful, do people really eat this up?
>staff shortage>project overloadAre these not essentially two ways of describing the same problem? Though anyway, while I'm a big fan of film in general I have never really been that into anime movies. They basically never offer the same appeal as live action movies and I appreciate the longer runtimes of TV anime. Even a single cour anime is longer in overall runtime than a single movie. Many anime movies these days also use the same shitty CGI that TV anime does and so the benefits of higher budget and not needing to be done on as tight of a schedule are not as obvious as if you compared an anime movie from the 80s with a TV anime from the same time. Also>Shinkai movies>"high-quality original anime films"
>>288800674That's why I pirate TV anime and only pay to watch anime films
>>288800674What's with these washed up japs shitting on anime recently?
>>288801405It's not that new. Or maybe it's just that Miyazaki was always like this since he's been saying stuff like this since the 80s. It's the same thing as the old good new bad stuff on /a/. Though these people are actually involved in the industry and are just mad they can't get funding for their shit. So they say everything else is bad and taking the money and resources that are rightfully theirs.
>>288800674>In some cases, it more than tripled compared to what was coming out less than a decade ago.Are we counting shorts and OVAs here? Tripple 2006's output isn't much of an exaggeration, but unless we're counting the years where production was severely fucked due to Covid then double 2016 onward is already wrong.
>>288801477The number of shows airing now is enormous compared to the 00s or early 10s, and almost all of them are just 12 episodes. It's pure quantity over quality, and it really doesn't help that most of them are utterly generic slop (isekai/romcom) or remakes.
>>288801042>Art is only whatever I call kino
>>288801576>quantity over qualitykekJust say you want magical girls for little girls and mecha fights for young adults back because that was filling the TV slots before the 2000 on japan and outside of japan aswell.
>>288800793Is this Ai? Genuine question.
>>288801687It's not like there's a shortage of magical girl anime recently though. You of course have Precure, but there's also Princession Orchestra currently Lulutto Lilly. Most of the stuff people complain about isn't actually a problem even if it's not as common as it was in the past.
>>288801687There was plenty of unique content from the 00s that wasn't mecha (which in any case was also better in the 00s) or magical girl. Even the early 10s had better content. There was less quantity over quality vibe permeating studios and the industry. Even Kadokawa admitted their business model of 12 episode narouslop adoptions shat out season after season was a failure.
>>288801600Do we really need 4 or 5 isekais per season? All looks the same with the same cookie cutter characters and plots. Do we really need seasonal moeshit with the same characters and jokes? Do we really need another romcom about a loser getting the attention of the most popular girl in school for no good reason?
>>288800880Kadokawa recently stated isekai is losing money but nobody has any idea what to do instead. A very Japanese situation
>>288800674>EVERYTHING IS LE BAD>can I get some talent crumbs.. please..
>>288800674Massive cope. It has a SOUL and guts shortage problem.
>>288802282YesYesYes
>>288802337Talent can't develop under such circunstances. Nobody born a master, talent needs to be developed
>>288800674>We had to invest and acquire our own background art house (Studio Bihou) in order to secure the staff necessary to deliver Makoto Shinkai's next film. >The only TV anime with decent background art are the ones employing film art directors and background artists.This is true. Studio Bihou drew the backgrounds for Ruri Rocks.
>>288802875>>288802875>We had to invest and acquire our own background art house (Studio Bihou) in order to secure the staff necessary to deliver Makoto Shinkai's next film.In the end they will just do paintovers
>>288800933True. I see a Netflix logo, I skip.
>>288802298>recently stated isekai is losing money>but nobody has any idea what to do instead. Maybe just stop producing isekai mainly and focus on other genres?
>>288802282Do we need another sci-fi where the mc is a bland edgy cyborg fighting against le evil mega corporation and its rapists goons?Do we need another battle shonen where the mc is a loud ass chosen one and the rest are walking self-inserts for the viewers?Do we need another slow burn romance where the main couple gets together at episode 3 and the rest of the season run is focus on mundane things like side couples?No, we do not need themWhat we need is more battle harems like DAL and DxD but under the craftmanship of Godhands.
>>288800793One trick pony, hasn't evolved in over a decade
>>288803280They need some new bandwagon to jump onto or bottomless source of adaptions to mine out cause the production committee isn't geared for original shows
>>288802875Yep. I think it's even more relevant now because the world of Shinkai's next film will be 100% original, so CoMix Wave had to go and invest massively on Studio Bihou.
>>288803544All of those sound better ngl
