>The Owl House copied Tenchi Muyo>Magiswords copied Slayers>Gameoverse copied Samurai Pizza CatsWhat's going on with artists copying designs from 90s anime?
Funny that your draw that comparison but not the dinosaur character just being Barny with notes of Putt-putt.
>>153665693Anime designs from the 90s are really good.Just like American cartoon designs from the 40s are really good.
>>153665720True, and that's why Sonic first design was very loony tunesque
>>153665693Gosh. I wanna punch Kit so hard!
>>153665947are you the guy that is always posting Ivy Pepper ryona?
>>153665897Even his final design is, it's basically hedgehog Felix.
>>153665693>Gameoverse copied Samurai Pizza CatsHave you thought about its plot at all? It's not even a Reboot homage, it's straight-up lifted wholesale.
>>153666025No. I just don't like overexposure.
>>153665693The human brain cannot form thoughts or ideas without prior context. I promise you that everything you like is ripped off or derived from something older. Originality is fake.
>>153666227Shut up, pseud retard
The thing is, Japs have already done almost everything imaginable you can do with anime style in terms of design It can’t be helped as long as it’s anime-like
>>153665693Why is it always anime?
>>153666285Meh, a lot of anime designs are just guy/gal with detailed clothing and some weapon or power, if you saw one anime guy/gal you pretty much saw almost all of them. Like seriously look at that wolf summoning guy from chainsawman and tell me he doesn't look like a million other anime dudes, hell put him in jjk for example or any other anime in a modern setting and he wont stand out
>>153666234Okay, Jackass, let's play this game then. Name one thing you like.
>>153666326Boku no Pico
>>153666285>>153666322I miss Satoshi Kon. Say what you will about the guy, he was correct that Japanese anime characters should look Japanese.
Unironically what’s important is to understand it will never be not Japanese It’s okay for non-blacks to produce R&B, Jazz, and Hip Hop but you can’t take it from themI really doubt you guys will get it tho
>>153666363Akira toriyama may have suffered from same face syndrome for a chunk of characters in dbz and even other works but he still made a bunch of characters and the likes of aliens and robots did not have that same stern goku face to be fair and the overall art style is differentI mean Goku is one of if not the most popular anime character and he doesnt have the "anime" eyes, no big shiny irises
>>153666322>if you saw one anime guy/gal you pretty much saw almost all of themWrong, there are a lot of anime/manga with different art styles. This sounds extremely reductive.
>>153666322You know that doesn’t contradict to what I said, right?Most R&B songs sound the same for many people
>>153666440I mean seriously you can interchange characters between jjk and chainsawman for example and the style wont differed between the charactersand even with the many "different styles" unless we are talking about something very very different like say panty and stalking or something purposely trying to break the mold or just be more unique you will almost always end up with a bunch of humans with powers/weapons, detailed clothing and big eyes and barely any nosePoint is it's very fucking easy to know if something was made in japan because of how samey the anime styles are for the most partin games it's different, shit like metal slug mario sonic and dark souls prove there are more styles than anime
>>153666322This sounds like cherry picking, >wolf summoning guy from chainsawman and tell me he doesn't look like a million other anime dudesNo shit he is meant, to look like an average jap dude. You really need to watch more anime, start with Kaiba, Mononoke, paranoia Agent, Black Lagoon, Redline etc. There is a word of fantastic character designs , why do you think cartoons like the one in the op keep copying them?
It’s pretty depressing because I can tell what’s going to happen Gaijins will try to discredit Japs as much as possible while literally copying what Japs were doing in the last 50 years
>>153666497and in black lagoon it's just blokes and chicks with average clothes and weapons, they look mildly different cuz they're older so the style is not as generic but stillI am not gonna pretend that Kit's series over here has amazing designs cuz it doesnt, have you seen that concept art? but at least we have a weird megaman catgirl thing, a ball robot and shit like a big demon, if this was an anime most but not all of the characters would be people in space suits or something and stale colors and the robot would either be the same pocket chain looking cute things or gundam knockoffs with giant blades on their shoulders
>>153666476Nah you sound extremely reductive. > very very different like say panty and stalking or something purposely trying to break the mold or just be more unique you will almost always end up with a bunch of humans with powers/weapons, detailed clothingAre you dumb, using your video game example does every japanese rpg look the same or every game with 3d characters where you have guys with weapons and armors? There are anime without big eyes and with refined noses. That's like saying that every western cartoons is just generic furry animals or samey generic adult people. >shit like metal slug mario sonic and dark souls prove there are more styles than animeBerserk(inspiration for dark souls), Mario anime, Sonic anime, Dominion Tank Police(inspiration for metal slug). Watch more.
>>153666523>but at least we have a weird megaman catgirl thing, a ball robot and shit like a big demon, if this was an anime mostAre you retarded? I am serious. There is literally a Megaman anime and there are plenty of anime with interesting demos designs or inanimate objects moving. >and the robot would either be the same pocket chain looking cute things or gundam knockoffs with giant blades on their shouldersYou might be trolling at this point, western mecha in cartoons mostly sucks while anime has so many types of robots. SOmethign like Votoms looks more interesting than anything in that trailers . >stale colorsWatch Mononoke.
>>153666530i know there are generic game designs i am saying shit like mario and metal slug prove there are more because you have some cartoony unusual shit, and stuff like dark souls are less anime and more gritty looking so there is actual variety for once unlike animei mean for example tank police looks nothing like metal slug it looks like the average old anime ova while metal slug actually looks unique almost western, you can mistake it for something outside of japan but almost every anime is just that, same format
>>153666558and megaman has the same anime eyes and design you would expect from anime so what? yes western robots are boring but at least it's not the same gundam shit
>>153666561>some cartoony unusual shit,You can find that in anime. >and more gritty looking You can find that in anime as well. >it looks like the average old anime ovaNo t really, Shirow's art style is pretty unique. >but almost every anime is just that, same formatWrong. Answer this question: is every cartoon generic because 99% are them are talking animals or normal people?
>>153666576>and megaman has the same anime eyes and design you would expect from anime so what?Which one? One of the ovas looks almost exactly like the game. >it's not the same gundam shitthere are hundreds of mecha series, the mechas in evangelion look different than the ones in giant robo.
>>153666589nowadays with the bean mouths yeahanime can be gritty sure but you don't look at dark souls and think anime now do you? mean this realism and shit, and what cartoony stuff in anime? doramon or whatshisface? that shit doesn't look like cartoon at all it's clearly made in japan, on the other hand Sonic and Mario looks more cartoony than some actual cartoons
>>153666621made a bunch of mistakes here, was typing too fast sorry dudes. Also I apologize if I sound pretentious
>>153666621>nowadays with the bean mouths yeahi am talking about them in general.>anime can be gritty sure but you don't look at dark souls and think anime now do you?It was literally inspired by berserk. > mean this realism and shit,Yes: Perfect Blue, The Patlabor movie.>and what cartoony stuff in anime?Maya the Bee, Uchuusen Sagittarius, moomins, Pipi Tobenai Hotaru, Baby felix. All of those could have been made in the west. Also pic related is the cover for metal slug. Are you claiming that I can't find any ovas that look similarly?
>>153665693Culturally, homage is popular and fun and it’s not that deepArtistically, drawing is taught from fundamentals but design is taught from study of existing designs (if at all)
>>153666634>>153666654
>>153666614>the mechas in evangelion look different than the ones in giant robo.This. Idk how deluded you have to be to claim that all japanese mecha look the same.
>>153666406Toriyama was always better at drawing monsters and robots than he was at drawing humans.
>>153666700they still have the same sleek design and dumb spikes though
>>153666732>dumb spikesFaggot
>>153666654>Baby felixisnt that based on a western design? also none of these look like those types of cartoons, like they all look soft and shit, you wont find stuff like courage or the eds perfect blue and berserk dont remind me of dark souls and such, and finally i am not talking about the cover, but the actual sprites of the game
>>153666732If this looks like any of the eva you might want to check your eyes. Hell in general anime has some of the coolest and most interesting technology portrayed in animation.
>>153665693gameoverse looks so nortubel tier
Essentially, Western cultural imperialism hasn’t changed at all.They’ve indeed become cautious when it comes to Black people and Jews, or indigenous peoples like the Sami and Native Americans, but that’s it.We live in a nightmarish world where powerful Westerners have the exclusive right to decide what is and isn’t a problem.
>>153666772Kys>>153666774Cope and seethe, subhuman
>>153666765giant shoulder pads, there we go lol
>>153666765>most interesting techlike what big guns and giant gundams and blades with triggers/motorcycle handle?
>>153666758>isnt that based on a western design?Yes.> also none of these look like those types of cartoons,They look a lot like western cartoons from that era, especially maya the bee. You were talking about designs like mario and sonic akak "soft stuff">you wont find stuff like courage or the edsI could act like retard just like you and say>everyone in een'e is just a generic human who cares Idk if there are any anime with the EXACT artstyle as Antonucci(which is retarded since you can't name any western cartoon with the exact same design as let's say RoV either) but there are anime with CRAZY designs. >perfect blue and berserk dont remind me of dark souls Which parts of dark souls? The armor? Berserk has that. The creature designs? Not all of them were animated in the 90s show but Berserk has a lot of them and in general anime/manga are a gold mine for freaky creature designs, just check out Apocalypse Zero(also check out for the CRAZY stuff mentioned earlier, some of the villains fit it perfectly).>m not talking about the cover, but the actual sprites of the gameThen wtf am I supposed to say? There are no sprite anime or sprite cartoons for that matter(other than indie newgrounds stuff). There are scenes where they are animated on sprites for a gag so you have that at least. Sprite character design are extremely different but as you can see the artists had an ovaish looking design in mind.
>>153666784And? That 1 aspect makes them completely similar? I guess all human cartoon characters look the same cause they wear shoes. Anyways, the spider robot from gits doesn't anything like either of them. >>153666798A lot more, watch any high budget cyberpunk ovas, they are an absolute delight for sci-fi nerds.
>>153666855talking about metal slug sprites dude not that coveralso felix wont count if it's western designedcrazy designs like what for example and you still cant find anime with disgusting cartoony designsall i know about dark souls is that i dont think of anime when i look at it, not even berserk I'll give you a better example, the Thing from he comics is this exaggerated underbite rock thing with a face that still looks human enough but cartoonified because of the rocksin anime you cant find shit like that no matter what, every rock based character is just some guy with rock powers or a generic golem thing with no face or a face that's pure monster with no goofy human designs
>>153666934>talking about metal slug sprites dude not that coverRead the last part of my post. >with disgusting cartoony designsPing pong, Devilman Crybaby, Pop team epic depending on the episode, some of one piece. Now give me western cartoons with designs like Mononoke>all i know about dark souls is that i dont think of anime when i look at it, not even berserkThat's a retarded argument. There are plenty of DS players that think about Berserk. >in anime you cant find shit like that no matter what, every rock based character is just some guy with rock powers or a generic golem thing with no face or a face that's pure monster with no goofy human designsHow the fuck can you say that when you haven't even engaged with anime/manga . Have you read the example I've given? Apocalypse zero? No, then your argument is worthless. *Hell in general western comics have stiff designs that follow the same boring patterns, nothing like the kind of monsters you can find in manga.
>>153667000it's just that from what i have seen and searched up, i have never seen a single thing like the Thing or Hulkevery muscle character is either something generic like muscular from mha who is just some random douche with muscle powers or some monster, you wont and cant find a human with like a stretched rectangular face like hulk's, point is all faces look the samecrybaby is not cartoony one bit, pop team epic is chibi stuff, onepiece is one of those anime that are actually more unique as i stated in the very beginning with panty and stalkingfinally no i never saw berserk in DS, no one really looked like the MC int eh games
>>153667047>it's just that from what i have seen and searched up, i have never seen a single thing like the Thing or HulkBoth of those look generi, Hullk has 100 artists and most of them draw him extremely samey. >you wont and cant find a human with like a stretched rectangular face like hulk's,Wrong, some of the Baki characters have stretched faces. Read Apocalypse zero.> look the same*Comics literally have a house styles that makes all of them generic as fuck. Manga has much creativity in art styles.>crybaby is not cartoony one bit,You haven't watched it. It gets extremely cartoony in the show itself but not on the cover. >pop team epic is chibi stuff,You haven't watched it. Pop team epic uses different art styles in different episodes. Why do you keep talking about stuff you haven't watched? >finally no i never saw berserk in DSAnd? Others have.>no one really looked like the MC int eh gamesSome of the Ds armors are literally modeled after Guts' armor and you are ignoring all the creatures and monsters..
>>153667047>i have never seen a single thing like the Thing or Hulkevery muscle characterRetard, there are many muscular anime characters with brutish faces, it’s one of their most common design tropes.
>>153667109He has probably watched like 10 anime considering his examples are chainsaw man and jjk so I wouldn't bother.
>>153667109and they all look the same yes>>153667101hulk has a face that you would never find in most animemanga has the same vibecrybaby is just anime nothing about it looks like from cartoonnetwork for exampleseriously just looking through /co/ and /a/ which are some of the lowest examples one can use let's be real is enough to see what I mean, in /co/ every character looks different clearly from separate works, in /a/ almost every character is either some chick meant to be attractive or a random guy, i don't care much about shit like tadc but even that has more variety in the designs, what anime has a mask with ribbons as a character?
>>153667047If we are brining comics in discussion why isn't there a western cartoon that looks as good as Dragon's Heaven? Moebius is a western comic artists yet only an anime managed to replicate some of his beautiful style. Cartoons need to step up.
>>153667142>>153667167Stop embarrassing yourself
>>153667169oh wow half naked blonde anime chick and gundam, very crazy differentok jokes aside what's so insane about that manga?
>>153667205I am not trying to do anything, I am just saying, I saw old and new shit and it all looks very similar, i wanted to get into anime I really did, but they mostly look samey as hell
>>153667167>crybaby is just anime nothing about it looks like from cartoonnetwork for exampleHave you actually watched the show? The show not the trailer or anything like that. >hulk has a face that you would never find in most animeBaki has a face that you would never find in most cartoons. >manga has the same vibeLmao, capeshit is the most generic looking thing ever, why isn't there capeshit with art style like the manga I've mentioned. Why aren't there monster designs like Apocalypse zero in western comics? >, in /co/ every character looks different clearly from separate works, Lmao, look at the board yourself, 99% is either lusting after generic girls or posting generic capeshit heroes. >tadc Literally inspired by anime >hat anime has a mask with ribbons as a character?Plenty of anime have objects as characters. Senketsu for example.
>>153667250>Lmao, capeshit is the most generic looking thing ever,Nope
>>153667208>oh wow half naked blonde anime chick and gundam, very crazy differeI am not talking about the characters, I am talking about the backgrounds you retard, also about the anime.

>>153667325oh yeah that, no that's cool i like thatbeautiful art really
>>153665693Cartoon creators watched anime in the late 90s and early 2000s and wanted to copy them, simple as that, some of them deny it like the pedo who did Magiswords, but others are open about it like the director of Turning Red saying she was inspired by Ranma multiple times and showing Ranma's merch and posters in the making of video for Turning Red
>>153667350and?
>>153667358You will never get something like Amano Yoshitaka's art style in western cartoons.
>>153667384
>>153665693Based
>>153667390He is one if not the best artist in the comic industry and it's cool to see his art style in animation.
>>153667403
>>153667393>>153667418fair pointlisten anime in terms of art is fucking phenomenal but it's just the character designs that pisses me offi like variety
>>153666080I thought you meant kike the video game worlds thing, I didn't know it was literally about the protagonists trying to stop the player from winning to avoid destruction. Damn, lol

>>153667403Why did they sometimes have human noses?
>>153667433And like I've already proved by posting examples you can get plenty of that as well but at this point it feels like talking to a wall. If you don't like anime or want to get into it that's ok but don't talk like you are an actual expert on it while you lack the knowledge. It gets boring.
>>153667425>>153667457
>>153665693I will put actual money on there being some sort of jab at Sonic in the first episode because Arin never got over SEGA telling him to eat shit.
>>153667384>>153667394Based
>>153667470it's just weird because as much as cartoons either just comedies or knockoffs a lot of them do have variety because of the cartoon-iness I guessbut with anime since they focus more on characters, they tend to make more designs that are just random humans and even the crazier stuff still feels like "another japanese thing"I don't know, i'll stop regardless, i guess i am annoyed to see great art/animation on the same designs
>>153667326Retard
>>153667384Turning Red was a bore. What I find it weird is those animators that grew up on FlCl and 00s Gainax anime but never try to make the same batshit funny stuff and instead opt for boring shit.

>>153667495>a lot of them do have variety because of the cartoon-iness I guessAnd my point since my very first post was to claim that there is variety. yes there are plenty of generic anime but there are plenty of interesting ones as well. The variety isn't on a cartoony scale like western toons but rather on a scale that values different aspects , sometimes it can be cartoony, sometimes it can be realistic , sometimes it can be weird. There are more cartoony cartoons but anime compensates in other different art styles that you can't find in western animation(some of them are so appealing that they keep getting referenced in both cartoons and anime) >hey tend to make more designs that are just random humansMost cartoon characters are also just humans or animals. In terms of monster designs anime/manga have it in spades in darker series. >"another japanese thing"Maybe 4 you. >I don't know, i'll stop regardlessK.
>>153665693Let's see, OP.>Animation is just "DISNEY, FAMILY GUY, STEVEN UNIVERSE" for years>Comics are just "MARVLE AND DC" for yearsMost people have basic knowledge of these mediums so to them: copying anime/manga (badly even) is seen as the only alternativeyou'll never see these shows reference a Bakshi show, Aeon Flux, Heavy Metal/Metal Hurlant, anything Genndy even though he's still making stuff, Asterix, Tintin, a 2000AD series or Corto MalteseCan you imagine if Owl House dropped a reference to a Moebius comic?
