Lamarre rejects the idea that animation is just “drawings that simulate motion.” Instead, he sees anime and limited animation as a system where motion is produced by separation, by the "animetic interval" between frames. In classical "cinematism", we are anchored to the Cartesian perspectivalism and ballistic logistics of perception. Lamarre argues anime produces a dstributed gaze, where attention moves laterally across and through planes rather than being owned by the Cartesian subject.

>>25297066That's interesting, but it is one property of the brain to see things in lines, despite lines not existing in physical reality. Rotoscoping presumes to reproduce what we see, but what is visual input, anyway? A cipher which the brain untangles with its pattern-seeking skeleton key. Anime is easier on the eyes, because it is more diegetic. Rather than being a forceful approximation of what we -think- we see, anime is mimetic directly of what we imagine.
>>25297066That sounds incredibly retarded since 1.) Not all anime is animated on 4s and 6s and in fact the more presitigous an anime is, the closer it tends to converge towards the standard 24 frames of movement per second of cinema2.) What meaningful difference is there between the distributed gaze and cartesian subjectivism? What the hell does he even mean by perspectivalism and the ballistic logistics of perception? IF he means what I think he means, then the argument is self refuting as animation relies on the very ballistic logic of motion to be intelligible
>>25297115There's a whole chapter on Miyazaki, read the book.
i really like and grew up with anime and japanese culture/art, but im also an artist who was into painting and drawing, i notice lots of western artists who are into anime fall into the trap of drawing in an anime like fashion instead of a western fashion, when i was coming into my own as an artist i had to wean myself off anime and learn to draw and paint like the old masters, something realistic, as for cartoons, i would get into western cartoons and the many different ways they are drawn from something like the simpsons to ren and stimpy
>>25297128I mean stuff like redline and Akira, real budget busters or the ghost in the shell OVAs
>>25297115>>25297128>>25298140KEK none of that shit is real anime they're boomer movies that happen to be animated.
>>25298519>real anime is "Supah Chii-Poh Isekai no biggu Booba: Moneymaking Gaiden" that's animated at 4 frames per second
>>25298524Yes desuwa.
