>>150154459Can you blame them? The price of making something actually looks good these days is astronomical. Writing being shit is one thing but animation being shit is usually out of anyone's hands.
>>150154495>Can you blame them?No, and it wasn’t really my intention to. It’s just like the switch to digital ink and paint, or Flash/Toon Boom. Just one of those things that was bound to happen anyway because if you don’t adopt it your costs are going to be much higher than the competition.
If you don't like limited animation, you aren't fit to be an animation fan. Being hyper-fixated towards "good animation" is for plebs. It's a nice bonus to have, but it's not actually as crucial as many people pretend. People way too willingly overlook the fact that art design, storyboarding, and these other filmic elements provide the real basis for animation. Even in the real of full animation, they figured out early on that the way to make stuff was to begin with storyboards and key animation (which are forms of limited animation), because, surprise surprise, that's the most important thing.
