>>154865467The Western animation industry has been dominated by guys who grew up with underground comix and they're still the ones calling the shots. They think gross out jokes and ugly character designs are the peak of entertainment, and they're practically biologically incapable of taking anything seriously. You can't have a serious superhero show, it has to be a dumb parody of superhero's. You You can't make an adult animated action series, it has to be raunchy, and ugly.

anime was invented by osamu tezuka getting inspiration from scrooge mc ducks eyes though
>>154865812Do you loser ever sleep?
>>154865824>ESL babbleWhat do browns gain from this?
>>154865761Take your smart pills
>>154865813>anime was inspired by cartoons>cartoons are now inspired by animeAll came back around I guess
>>154865789I think it's more dominated by cynical executives who hand the creative reins over to tumblr-style millenial women because they create inoffensive content that HR doesn't complain about and they don't ask for more money to do anything expensive (or for their own wages)
>>154865915Which is exactly how Rebecca Sugar crashed and burned in spite of SU's popularity. She asked for too much, and pushed the envelope a little too hard. I don't think she'll work ever again, not as a professional anyway.
>>154865941Sugar fucked up on both ends really. She didn't reign in her boarders which hurt the quality of her show tremendously, then tried to put her foot down when it came to the network itself. She completely misdirected her priorities.
>Anime-likeMight as well just watch anime at that point
>>154866405That's the point- I don't WANT to. I want actual Western cartoons to make a comeback, I'm beyond fed up with these nipponese-cum-stained wanna-be anime shits.
>>154866405No>>154866429Smalminded
>>154866310Nah
>>154866459Yeah
>>154865467Saturday morning died 10 years ago. Kids just watch whatever the fuck youtube recommends. Spiderman and Elsa dancing and farting to public domain music.I don't even try to keep up with shit anymore. There's 40+ years of quality cartoons and I bet you haven't seen them all. There's like 200 hours of just the Bruce Timm DC universe that's pure gold. Did you know there are five seasons of Eek the Cat? There's two seasons of Alf-toons and another season of Alf-tales?Stop hoping for good things in 2026, they ain't coming.https://youtu.be/lzW4Ot-suRg?si=BuqqrLHmA5bchgFL
>>154865789>The Western animation industry has been dominated by guys who grew up with underground comix and they're still the ones calling the shots.What the actual fuck are you talking about? Most millennial animators who essentially run the industry hate underground comix and primarily take influence from whatever shit is popular like AT or SU for kids shows or FG or R&M for adults shows, that’s not even touching on how much executives are in charge of that shit. Meanwhile millennial "underground" comic artists hate Robert Crumb and think it’s countercultural to make weed jokes and draw in a tumblr style.Underground comix is also what heavily inspired the alt culture (Bakshi, Spumco, Liquid Television, etc.) that paved way for the animation renaissance of the 90s and nowadays said comix are seen as le problematic to people in the industry, if anything we need more underground comix fans in the modern industry. Fritters art is shit though.
>>154865467How else is the average Joe supposed to tell that a cartoon looks mature enough for them?
>>154865467>look at cable>everything currently airing is non anime as hell, pure baby shit>OP will still whine like a faggot despite getting exactly what he wants
>>154865761>not the other 7983 onesConfession denied
>>154866649The closest we get to modern underground comix is stuff like Megg Mogg & Owl, and Hanselmann kind of despises the "woke" millennial Starbucks-chugging tumblrfags who make up most of that scene, which is ironic considering he's a crossdresser.
>>154866649You basically agree with my point. you acknowledge that The Simpsons(perhaps the most influential animated cartoon and sitcom ever) came from the underground comix movement, and that the animation renaissance of the 90s had creators who were also influenced by that tradition. But what you would call “woke” is a natural outgrowth of that movement, even if it is not well executed.Underground comix was a movement that celebrated vulgarity, ugliness and filth against traditional Western institutions and ideals of strength, beauty and goodness in art. it is still built around destroying and degenerating culture, but the targets are often restricted to those perceived as being part of an oppressive class. but the underlying mindset and the people involved come from the same broader tradition.
>>154865714Ah yes, extremely popular mainstream cartoon Oban Star-Racers.
>>154867045Stop coping
>>154865789>They think gross out jokes and ugly character designs are the peak of entertainmentWhich they are btw
>>154867045Life in Hell has more in common with bland newspaper comic strips from before its time than with anything truly underground.
>>154866820>everything currently airing is non anime as hell, pure baby shitIf you only focus on the stuff not aimed at anyone older than five, of course it looks as such. But anything made for anyone that's currently in middle or high school is diet anime with no substance.
>>154867083How am I coping, I'm stating objective facts>>154867118typical 1980's newspaper comic, nothing subversive about this
>>154867045boss baby ass attribution
>>154867246>Bunch of words and bland drawingsYeah, nothing outside the norm besides preachy liberal politics.
>>154867246You're not. You're just regurgitating the same shit people said about shows like The Simpsons when they came out: That they only exist to degenerate culture while ignoring the nuances and themes that show a level of care for the culture it is satirizing.
>>154867246Making fun of mainstream bullshit is based, you squarehead
>>154867246Lib jokes and reactionaries pissing their pants over them have been around a lot longer than the 80s
>>154865714>Totally Spies>Code Lyoko>Megas XLR>Winx Club>The Boondocks>Oban Star-Racers>Generator Rex>Sym-Bionic Titan>Voltron Legendary Defendey>She-RaNone of this shit was popular, lmao.
>>154867295These are the exact same people, they still hold the same mindset and behavior. >>154867340And the church ladies were right, it was depraved and subversive.>>154867356So you admit it was subversive >>154867394Oh totally, the religious views, politics and psychological makeup of the 1930s are exactly the same to those of our time
>>154867553Stop being weak
>>154867045Most of them were also Jews
It's a shame that everyone in the west who's "inspired" by anime to make something are all, without fail, giant faggots.You can take some series full of horny fanservice and a wacky setting like Soul Eater and the western fanbase will be almost exclusively made up of the whiniest, lamest, most annoying faggots you've ever laid eyes on.Anime/manga and modern western artists just do not mix, period.
>>154867788 Nope, cuck
