>>153158108Not given voices to the loudest and most easily offended was a big plus
A writing team that had genuinely different perspectives on things that fined-tuned scripts to not be shit.
>>153157949Cels and real inks and paints. Digital completely destroyed animation.
>>153157949Network TV ad revenue.

>>153157949Artists still came from a variety of backgrounds. Much like politics, art has become less of a thing people can choose to get involved in and more of a demographic caste.
>>153157949Experimentation. Back in the day when a channel wanted an adult cartoon they basically just threw some cash at a creative because they had no idea about the medium. In current year when CEO man asks for a show they just ask for Family Guy.Also >>153157965, digital over traditional Cell impacted the art side of things a lot. This was also a noticable thing in anime but they actually got better for big shows.

>>153157949a lack of risk aversion, which came from a functioning economy and a massive viewerbase>>153157974anon... do you have any idea how fucking infuriating it is to people over 25 to year this bizarre claim you have that we were somehow MORE socialist in the 90s than now?
>>153159629anime shading got better but art got worse. because the new guys couldn't learn directly from the old guys, since they literally didn't understand the new tools.
>>153157965>>153158302>>153159629I imagine that working with actual paints would mean you'd have to be very thoughtful with backgrounds, color palettes, and shading for each scene.I like digital convenience but the process and limitations of traditional cel animation probably forced them to think smarter and use their creativity vs. what we have nowadays.
>>153158128You say that like it’s a bad thing it’s millennials people hate not Gen X.

>>153160997Lil bro thinks 80k a year is wealthy. You're basically a serf with a nice hat.
>>153157949They were made by people with actual talent and life experience, not manchildren who just copied whatever cartoons and anime they grew up with.

>>153157949What I wouldn't give for a Daria like show instead family guy clone#15336
CRT TVs
>>153157949the voice acting in Daria is really pleasing to the ear. Everyone's voice is very distinct. Except Mac Daddy cause they kept changing his va every few episodes for awhile.

>>153157949Nostalgia, you'd hate them if they came out today
>>153164984how can I have nostalgia for things I saw for the first time this year? >>153157965this, people would be less inclined to notice bad or lazy animation if the individual frames themselves were pretty to look at
>>153164984Stfu
>>153165325>>153165331Because you apply modern cynicism to current stuff
>>153165662You are a faggot
There's nothing wrong with using digital over cels. It's not coming back, ever. The only problem is that the people who paint in digital need to learn how to paint with the careful hand that traditional once did.
Made by better people.
