>>151365102>Dont support the only non calarts show on the marketSay what say what?
>>151364933Costs went up. Markets went down.Buggy whip makers were asking the same question 100 years ago.
>>151364933I was going to go off, but then I read the filename.There are still animators who do quality work out there, it's just a matter of them getting the funding needed to survive to actually make the animation as well as the direction necessary for what is being animated to feel meaningful.You can have beautiful animation, but if the subject matter is bland or not entertaining then it's not going to be memorable. This then creates a negative feedback loop of the quality diminishing.If you just want an opinion, then something that reflects upon the human condition and is relatable to people who have felt strong emotions will resonate and be memorable.Or something so fantastic that it could never exist in reality, but for a brief moment the work of art makes it real and it strikes a chord with the human desire for fantasy.Do you think that people, on average, do not experience the same level of raw emotions that they used to have, so that lack of experience carries over into the art being made? Or that the general populace's lack of personal experience with strong emotional situations in their lives makes it more difficult to relate to a work of art that does attempt to capture it?It's hard to create mass connections when people do not have a shared pool of references. Or is the current pool of references a shallow imitation of the actual ocean of raw human emotions?Rambling aside, if you want good animation you need to actually provide the living expenses to animators who know what they are doing and also give them something "worth" animating.

>>151364933Shit degrading is a recent thing, the animation renaissance was full of shows that respected the medium, I’m sure tons of modern animators want to make good-looking stuff but execs being execs would rather beanmouth or 3D everything.
>>151366671Why does the "new slump" start in 2010s when it obviously went to shit in 2005?
>>151364933the budget for most of these were over half a million today. 11 minutes episodes are usually budgeted for about a million. most of that money goes to VAs and producers. kind of weird that animation back then were just glorified music videos but shows today that are meant to sell toys have less of a budget.
>>151366717You know now that I think of it I feel the animation renaissance really ended in the mid 2000’s, the early 2000’s still gave us stuff like EE&E and Billy & Mandy and Teen Titans and shit, 2005-2015 was a downfall and the late 2010’s was when it really went to shit.
>>151364933The skills of the industry atrophied because things became too corporate and stopped wanting or rewarding skill or passion or quality.We have the tools to make things look good, we just choose not to use them because the people paying for it don't want quality, they want "good enough". There is zero reason that a show with the big budget of invincible can't look as good or better than something like Frieren, beyond the people involved having low standards.
