No reason to larp as Japanese if the art speaks for itself and you speak in Japanese to indicate you make art they would like. If you don't know the language or can't draw Japanese then don't bother.

>>7695201
>I don't see many Chinese game art because I don't play those
Then how would you know it's not from a gacha game?
>ut why would you even care if the art itself is homegrown Japanese art?
because japanese zoomers don't care about Japanese things anymore

>>7695201
>99% of accounts I follow are Japanese and I don't see many Chinese game art

To touch on this point, same, but I suspect many of the artists that post things that aren't out of China are on the older side of the demographic spectrum (30 - 45 years old). I highly doubt a zoomer would care about some older Erotic title to the point where they're posting merch for it. You can tell who's a zoom and whos an ojiisan.

>>7695206
>Then how would you know it's not from a gacha game?
Because I still get exposed to stuff I don't play and know the general character designs/artsyles of the most popular Chinese/Korean games.
>because japanese zoomers don't care about Japanese things anymore
Why do you care what they like? You likely don't even know Japanese.

>>7695229
I follow a decent number of non-professional Japanese accounts that post fanart of IPs I enjoy and I see many non-ojisans drawing fanart, but it makes sense that all of the most popular IPs will have a younger demographic dominating the fanart space.

If you're a westerner who can actually draw in a japanese style, you only stand to lose by pretending to be japanese, even if you somehow manage to keep up the facade. Have you ever seen the videos of that white guy who speaks perfect chinese,and all the chinks go crazy? It's almost the same thing with this, it's so rare for a westerner to draw non-faux anime that you'll actually have more appeal if you openly state that you're not from Japan

Ignore that guy. He's a troll and easy to spot.

The whole “anime is bad and if it’s good it’s not anime” mentality is real.

I’ve seen it countless times. The most common example being this insane idea that Ghibli films are not anime. It’s baffling. Another one I hear often is “Cowboy Bebop/Berserk/AOT/Whatever doesn't feel like anime.” Like all anime is silly and pervy, never serious and for adults. So that means Cowboy Bebop is not like any other anime directed by Watanabe, or Berserk isn't heavily influenced by ? And what about Ghost in the Shell, Akira, Lupin III, Belladonna of Sadness, Angel’s Egg, Galaxy Express 999, Midnight on the Galactic Express, Memories, Robot Carnival, Neo Tokyo, and every movie directed by Isao Takahata (Grave of the Fireflies), Masaski Yuasa (Mind Games), Makoto Shinkai (5 Centimeters per Second), Satoshi Kon (Perfect Blue) and Paranoia Agent while we’re at it? And many more. I’m not even an anime buff. Just a casual fan.

I guess all of those and many more are “not like other anime” either. It’s just ignorant really.

>>7698228
*Berserk isn't heavily influenced by FOTNS and other similar 80s manga?
My bad

>>7698228
Yeah there are many people who will like things specifically because they feel it's not like "other anime", these ones you can safely enjoy and namedrop to raise your perceived authority in pseud circles.
Basically "good" is how "cinema like" or "deep" it feels to them regardless of real measurable quality, and anime in general is something shameful and lowers your status as a twitter intellectual (unless it's from the 80s-90s and has been established as socially safe). They don't care that many people who worked on "not like other animes" still work in the industry, and their skills haven't decreased with time.

>That Image
>"Anime pictures are just pictures with big eyes, aren't they? Are there any differences in Designs?"
>Outright asserting that the other person's argument is that anime drawings are exactly alike, image to image, rather than discussing stylistic similarities.
Speaking of cognitive abilities, you'd have to have low cognitive abilities to post that image seriously in any discussion.
Especially with its pseudo intellectual 'schrodinger's painting' bullshit at the bottom there. Is it an appeal to authority? Like "oh look, an academic paper or news publication said this", or "oh look at the language it's using, it sounds like it was written by someone really educated", and therefore it's correct? It's just so... low iq.

Oh? What did I teach? Nothing? So you're just making shit up now. Appeal to Authority, and now Sophistry, cool.
> how information from pros is actually bad.
Wrong. NOW, I'm going to teach you something, you stupid know nothing faggot.
'Appeal to Authority' is a debate tactic, and while in of itself isn't bad since it's akin to citing a source, it's also conflates an authoritative person's position with being automatically correct.
For example; since we're talking about a quote from an anime animator, rather than a psychiatrist or medical expert, why does his word on cognitive abilities or specifically 'cognitive resolution', carry any weight?... It doesn't. It's just the random theory of someone who works in the anime industry, about people with criticisms against it.
In fact, it appears he's using the definition of Cognitive Resolution incorrectly:

>"Cognitive resolution typically refers to the process of improving or clarifying one's understanding and thought processes. It can involve techniques or strategies aimed at enhancing cognitive functions such as memory, problem-solving, and decision-making."
which (with this broad definition) actually appears like he's more likely throwing out an insult, and calling them stupid, than actually trying to understand why people would think anime characters look similar.
So the big gotcha anime master authoritative quote that's being spammed is just... a mistranslated insult to anime's detractors?
You might as well just use a screenshot from some random insult on this site and use that, for as relevant to the discussion they both would be.

>Textbook pseudointellectual dunning kruger rant.
Speaking of insults; get a new one, chump.
And while you're at it, get a new screenshot to spam too, your current one is embarrassingly shit.

>>7701068
>I have no art skill but I must debate, the post

>In fact, it appears he's using the definition of Cognitive Resolution incorrectly:
Google "equivocation". He's using it very accurately in context to dunk on low cognitive resolution dunning kruger individuals who can't draw anime.

Both the kettle and the pot are black. If you claim that anon is a pot and is calling out a kettle, and anon is calling you out, you are in effect calling yourself a kettle, which reduces to you calling yourself black, which in this context is a metaphor for being someone who doesn't draw. You are indirectly claiming that you do not draw, through a comparison to someone who also doesn't draw.

>>7702821
Yes, but I also specify that we're in a thread with no drawings. In this thread, we're all nodraws, unless they post a drawing and prove otherwise. I didn't say they were correct in their assertion that I don't draw, merely that they (and I) haven't posted a drawing here, and they are being a hypocrite.
>In a thread with no drawings posted, a nodraw pot is trying to call a kettle black?
They're free to post their work if they want to, not that it'd change anything in the 'discussion'.
Whether or not I draw, whether or not they draw, it's just a distraction from the overall point that their stupid spam image is shit and they should feel embarrassed using it because it's so shit.

>>7702843
Actually, Anon is claiming that you have no artistic skill. You're the one starting the nodraw accusations, in the same sentence as where you claim that this accusations also applies to you. As a neutral observer I am very justified in thinking that you are more correct about yourself than others, and that your introduction of this accusation means that it applies to you in a wider context that precedes this thread. You have carried this quality into this thread from somewhere else and immediately and credibly assert that it belongs to you specifically.

stop day dreaming and go do it already.

>>7695150
It's basically impossible. Just post your art in stuff like pixiv and don't type shit.

>>7716130
Pretending to be Japanese won't make you money most Japanese zoomers are okay with Japanese. Japanese is only relevant if you're actually trying to talk about Japanese issues and at that point just make a Japanese friend.

>>7716142
*Japanese zoomers are okay with foreign stuff.
Actually Japan since the 80s has sort of always been obsessed with the west.

>>7711243
Since you seem to know what is going on what is the way to get into Japanese circles or to understand their mentality? I don't care about anime I actually dislike it but I want to learn more about what they like because I work on a lot of historical stuff and knowing their contemporary views would help.

I don't think I implied that I know. I get Japanese followers sometimes because I produce works in a large fandom which has significant contingent of Japanese, but it is not a goal I have to find specifically Japanese audience.

>>7716187
Fair point. I'm just trying to improve my craft and understanding Japanese mentality would be helpful. I view anime as pretty soulless so don't have an interest in the market otherwise.

how so? what does your art look like?

Pick one and only one.

>>7716201
I need a minute to make something and I shouldn't make it half-assed since it seems pretty relevant I post something somewhat complete. Stuff like 90s Gundam is my inspiration and I'm not half as good as that but I should just give you a heads up.
>>7716202
There are a lot of creative Japanese talents but as a genre it's basically just *insert hyper reactive face* or coomer shit nowadays. People who tend to work on it are only want a sex doll.

Why do you need to understand Japanese mindset or to get into their circles to improve your craft? If you don't always have something ready you probably not drawing enough.

>>7716231
>If you don't always have something ready you probably not drawing enough.
I don't especially not beyond sketches. I'm a project orientated person so if I don't get projects I don't draw. Last time I did something was a short animation 4 months ago and took an even longer break before then.
>Why do you need to understand Japanese mindset
It will maybe be 10% easier to understand if I post something but the stuff I work on involves a bunch of historic cultures and compare them to modern counterparts Japanese included.

>>7716226
>genre
It's not a genre but a medium. Your understanding of anime and the culture around it is at a reddit meme level.
>basically just nowadays
There is no "nowadays" defined list of rules you have to follow to make anime. Only redditors think that anime is an amorphous blob instead of media made by creators with their own styles and tastes. They think this because their own country lacks any kind of harmonious creator culture and they mistake any naturally forming trends for everything being the same.

>Stuff like 90s Gundam
And you will never draw like that because you don't follow the actual people who made Gundam. You follow a nostalgic westoid idea in your head instead of the individual artists and their skills (many of them still work in the industry). Without respect for the medium and its creators you won't go too far, anime is a very self-filtering artform.

>>7716239
>It's not a genre but a medium.
Japanese people call King of the Hill anime, only weebs care about it to this extant. When people post "anime stuff" they mean stuff that panders to weebs and otakus which is mostly just a bunch of porn-lite with exaggerations not designed to tell anything more than "fap to this."
>And you will never draw like that because you don't follow the actual people who made Gundam.
Those people learned the fundamentals of art, drew and painted enough to be able to either mimic an art style consistently or even have a process in making changes while still keeping a sense of cohesion. As an industry though it's pretty soulless and people who try to mimic it try to go for moe and hentai rather than the stuff designed to actually tell something.

You're so deluded and misinformed it's not even funny. I thought this type of arrogant redditor died out 10 years ago.

>process in making changes while still keeping a sense of cohesion
>moe and hentai
>stuff designed to actually tell something
Literal buzzwords that say nothing about the actual process of drawing anime art or writing stories. You don't judge things based on their actual quality but by how well they conform to being "acceptable" to your redditor pseudo-intellectual worldview.

>As an industry
You know nothing about the industry. You can't name 10 directors, character designers and writers without googling or namedropping popular people you heard about on reddit.

Soulless as opposed to what? Where are the other industries animating 90s gundam in 2025?
