Control of projects shifted from auteurs to the studios who want to focus only on money making projects. That's why almost every new anime film is some adaption of some long running manga series rather than anything original. Only Shinkai has bucked the trend, but he makes rather audience friendly films anyways. Ghibli also doesn't fit this model since Miyzaki and brtheren are so old and respected they can go around these hurtles. But new animators don't have this luxury.

Reminder films like Perfect Blue weren't exactly money makers, and if anything they're probably better appreciated in the west than in the home country of Japan. I can't think of a single reference or allusion to Perfect Blue in any Japanese media, which is often replite with injokes and references.

Publishers understand that there's a zero sum game every single season to be played. That game is "there's only so many studios". So they've deliberately taken to flooding the market with advertisements (adaptations) for their own Intellectual Property. If Kadokawa funds 55 TV anime in 2023 (not a number form my ass, that's the actual number for 2023) then Kadokawa has successfully prevented their competition from making 55 anime for themselves during that calendar year. And while this competition is going on original anime are on life support because no one has the time.

>overly defensive anime fan enters the chat

There's more shows total, but FILMS (you may notice perfect blue is a film) are almost always adaptions of long running manga series. This is actually one of the problems: quantity goes up and quality goes DOWN. You can't have proper budgets if you're making so many shows and you can't worry about quality of all of them. It just doesn't work out mathematically.

All it means is more tripe. There's little for someone who isn't an otaku or shounen fan to watch. Anime fans have LITERALLY the worst taste ever (both in Japan and outside of it).

>>206059071

There's the problem of /a/-twitter-reddit-etc (and the people commercializing localizations) being overspecialized to follow tv anime. So your average anime film is completely overlooked by localizers and then fans because fan subs are mostly dead and no one bothers.
Most anime films die on the vine as far as English speakers are concerned. Even stuff that does decent numbers in Japan most people on the English internet don't even hear about even people watching like 40 shows a year.

I definitely blame that stuff first and foremost for why anime films are totally overlooked before I start breaking down things like 'well how many of those anime films are compilation movies or teenager films' that have limited appeal to the west.

Retard. It's because nothing has appealed to them in years. You're expecting people to spend hours watching tv series for premises, characters, settings, that they have no interest in because it's gonna somehow click "oh yeah, I love this show about little girls talking about cupcakes after all" or "I love that show about the boy who screams while the camera swings around wildly and they battle another guy with a sword".

Anime isn't made for them, it's made for anime fans. In other words, it ceased to be appealing to general audiences and people outside hardcore anime otaku which just reinforces the point that it's NOT GOOD ANYMORE.

I can throw a dartboard at anything in the critereon collection and it's solid gold. I do the same to anything on crunchy roll and it's tripe.

Zoomers will defend this and act like the quality of anime hasn't gone down in the past 20 years. Nowadays they cut more corners in the animation budget so they can prioritize action sequences and specific moments to put all their money into when back in the day characters were animated even when they were just standing around and talking. Now you watch an anime, and the characters don't move. They are stiff, lack fluidity. are less expressive, have less detail in general when it comes to the average designs of the characters themselves among most anime being created now. Go look at stuff like Sailor Moon, GTO, and anything from that era and see how consistently well animated they were across the board throughout the run time of the show and compare it to anything that came out this season. It's a night and day difference.

It's legitimately what anime fans like and love. more flashiness more movement. If this were a modern segment the camera would be flying around wildly to show how chatoic it is. I know that part of this is budget and technological limitations to reduce new angles, but part of it is that they're trying to replicate the look of an actual physical camera viewing these scenes. For me that gives me some grounding, but when i see the camera swinging around wildly I know I'm seeing something completely fake and made up on some computer.

The whole point of the argument is that you said they don't make OVAs anymore because people don't rent VHS anymore then you said people binge series on streaming platforms but streaming platforms are what original non-TV animations use to be. People watched Legend of the Galactic Heroes (a 100+ episode OVA) through tapes. The equivalent of that now is streaming. It's the same shit and doesn't prevent something from being made. How you haven't figured this out is beyond me.

Forgot to say I liked Cowboy Bebop, but thanks for the suggestion.

I dont know why, but it seems like up until the 90s, anime was treated as a serious and respected art form. I watched Jin Roh expecting some corny power fantasy sort of thing and was surprised at how beautiful and human the story was. I always try to watch subs too because usually the anime dubs voice actors are really bad. It seems like for whatever reason, anime turned into conveyer belt style capeshit slop.

>>206060199
I think the main thing is holding shots longer with little or no camera movement as it's following rules of staging and direction created in live action films.

it's even more baffling than that. I guarentee you the show on the right has 10x the budget as City Hunter. It's just that Otaku fans absolutely love minimalistic child-like faces for their heroes. They don't even look human to me.

You pop in 70's anime and there's some stylization and such, but more attention to make kids look like actual kids. Oh and actual god damn noses. Japan has had a 20 plus long year on noses for some reason, thinking they're not kawaii or some shit.

I have a fetish for seeing animated sequences where they actually use the ejector rod. It's one of the proofs that someone has some experience with the firearms or did their research, versus someone who hasn't.

Though that CAN happen, more often than not there's a slight expansion and you need to apply some pressure to remove them.

dilate and seethe.
it started in the era of 90s anime, with the 90s anime style.
just the same as i'd say a show that came out in 90/91 but had the 80s style would be a 80s anime.
just the same as 'MILF' category in porn doesn't mean a "mother i'd like to fuck", it's an age bracket/look. there are no 18 year old milfs just because they've had a kid.

90s anime is a style, not a release date.
FLCL is clearly 90s anime.

You're the exact kind of retard who would unironically argue that The Shining is a 70's film despite releasing in 1980. We date the existence of a product based on it's release, not the period of time when it was thought of, penned, or in the process of being made. That's a retarded mentality to have. FLCL is a 2000's anime because that's when people watched it. It's not rocket science.
>90s anime is a style, with the 90s anime style.
which is also a retarded thing to say because that's like saying FLCL is the same in it's "style" as Berserk, Trigun, or anything else from that era which are completely different from one another.

THESE Ruined anime- it all became formulaic slop that's either zany shounen, grim dark shoujo, moeblob cuteshit, or ultra generic isekai trash. We still get the odd gem like Little Witch Academia and Cyberpunk Edgerunners (both made by Trigger I might add) but for the most part every anime made in the last 15 years looks, feels, and tastes completely vapid and uninspired. It's the same thing that happened, to some extent, with capeshit being done to death by lazy, greedy, film studios in the US.

If it came out in 2020, you would be calling it 2020's music you dumbfuck LMAO. You can use instrumentations that were trendy in the 80's such as synth for example but that doesn't make it 80's because it didn't release in the 80's. That's like calling Stranger Things a TV show from the 80's LMAO

>>206058880
The 90s are full of cheap, poorly animated garbage compared to the 70s and 80s. That era is like weeb repellant though so they just fixate on muh 90s anime. Which is a good thing, they can fuck off and leave Showa kino alone.

>>206064933
Ghost in the Shell has a realiztic style, but also does a better job displaying the uncanny valley than any live action media I've seen. Even the live action movie didn't really get it right. With that in mind I would say it sued its art style effectively and was thus justified in using animation to peruse realism.
As for Deathnote, I don't know if I'd call it realistic. It's full of anime pretty boys. I will agree that it sucks though, and that it's popularity cause a lot of imitators to suck similarly, but a lot of its peculiarities wouldn't really work in live action.
Perfect Blue could have just been a live action movie, yeah. But it was also good, so whatever.

You're a fucking retard who doesn't know what you're talking about. The 1990's had the most money and creativity on average for shows than any era of anime by far. The industry was in a good spot and benefitting from the success of the previous decade while reaching the pinnacle of technological advancements for animation prior to the digital age. People making anime were creating more ambitious projects that wouldn't have been made in previous decades. Something like Lain for example is so off-beat and anti-mainstream that it wouldn't even have been considered as an actual anime in 10 years earlier. Evangelion deconstructed the entire mecha genre which had become stale and repetitive at the time. Bebop which fused genres while grasping the themes of existentialism and loneliness in a mature way which wasn't that prevalent at the time in anime. I just don't get how you can shit on 90's anime by calling it cheap and poorly animated while sucking the dick of 70's anime which were quite literally barely even animated for the most part. I don't hold it against them because of the limitations of the time, but are this stupid to actually believe it had better animation than a typical 90's show? That's just objectively wrong.

Imo anime started to be really good at some point in the 80s and stopped being much good in the late 2000s. There was a solid 20-30 years of good content being made, lots of really great stuff came out in each decade prior to 2010. That was the point that it all kind of went downhill imho.

You're wrong. There was nothing like DBZ. It changed the game, the culture, and how you could go about telling a story like that. Naruto was a problem because it took all the elements that made DBZ good and made it stale and showed that you can become successful off of bare minimum effort and just copying the basic formula without improving upon it in any way.

Halloween changed the horror genre because it was great but spawned a lot of shitty Halloween slasher clones. Does that make Halloween bad? No, it makes the lazy ripoffs bad.

Anime as a legitimate art form can be traced back to 1970, specifically with the release of Ashita no Joe which is not only a masterpiece even now, but was so significant, that it changed the culture of Japan itself. Started with the manga but it showed that you can tell mature sophisticated storylines involving the physical consequences of competing in contact sports while also dealing with social inequality and class struggle Something of that magnitude was released at a time when the biggest cartoon in the world was Scooby-Doo. Anime became good in the early 70's with the release of shows like Joe, Lupin III, Aim for the Ace, ect.. There are too many great examples for that era.

I'm sure it is good, but I have trouble getting past the animation style and the rather slow pace content. I'm sure it's not much different than most zoomers not being able to watch anything that isn't cel-shaded and changing frame every 15 seconds to keep their tik-tok brains engaged. For me though the golden age of anime is late 80s through late 00s.

>>206066522
AnJ introduced something that I don't think had been in cartoons at point: The grittiness of life as the underclass. From the very first episode you see a community in abject poverty in Tokyo's slums and it's not romanticized. Instead, you can kind of see the tragic beauty of people trying to be resilient and escape their circumstances.
It's a very slow story and rough-looking but I don't want to imagine what anime would have become without it.

I can never get behind these threads because even old anime is pure kitsch aesthetics wise, and the writing is terrible and unsubtle. It's made by and for autistic people, that's why every show and film has no complexity and tells you exactly how to feel, why everything needs to be explained, every internal monologue, villain's reasoning, flashback flashback flashback, etc.

This issue only became worse with time where anime in the 2000s and 10s are pure retard slop, with terrible digital effects.


I think the only anime that are the exception to this rule is stuff like Angel's Egg, Belladonna of Sadness, and Cat Soup; art for arts sake released for the direct to video market. These are the anime that are more important than mainstream trash like Ghibli films and whatever bullshit was on Toonami in the 90s.

People need to stop saying dumb shit like this. There's no such thing as a specific aesthetic for an era you retards. Dragon Ball Z came out in 1989. You know what else came out that year? Ranma. Jushin liger, and Akira. None of these things even look remotely similar to one another. You cannot boil down a decade of animation to a specific aesthetic because they are not represented by one style. That's like when retards think all 90's shows look like Slayers but then you quickly notice... Oh Slayers looks nothing like Cowboy Bebop... or Evangelion.. or Sailor Moon. or Detective Conan, or Nadia, or Trigun, or 98% of other anime from that time.

The real problem is that those 80/90's anime's were natural developments, fresh (some more than others of course) ideas. Compare that to to a spiritually dry modern artist who sees that 80/90's anime were popular, and replicates it. Obviously it won't compare.

western/global markets happened. there's far less anime aimed at an older audience, isekais and battle shonen are the things that catch on when it comes to series, with the occasional romcom. for movies, it is almost exclusively comedies for existing franchises (conan, shin-chan), sports, or romances. there's still lots of random, obscure anime that come out that are interesting, but low budgets and shorter seasons means they are rarely amazing and, more often than not, get left unfinished.
shows from the last ~2 years that i like:
apothecary diaries
the witch and the beat
undead girl murder farce
kamonohashi ron
revenger
home hero
heavenly delusion
elusive samurai
the fable
dark gathering
dungeon meshi
migi and dali

few others i still need to check out, but looking forward to lazarus the most.

No you dumb nigger I claimed that terrible CGI can't be blamed on the drawings it's adapted from, Fujimoto had another one of his manga adapted this year and it looks 1000x better than the Chainsaw Man anime, because MAPPA didn't make it. Donate your body to scientific research so someone can study your fucking brain please

The isekai menace needs to be stopped. Return to traditional fantasy.

>>206073842
even old isekai would be okay. shit like escaflowne, inyuasha, or space jam. this current form that isekais take where they are all playing off of dragon quest/rpg tropes is just embarrassing.

>shonen shit got really popular in the West around 2006
Shonen was popular since the early 90's in the west, amerimutts only got to know it around 2006

>what happened to anime that made them stop producing kinos and only slops?
Their anime reflects their country.
Their country is dying, so is their anime. It's simple.

no choreography whatsoever just two guys slashing at each other yelling like retards and a bunch of random explosions for some fucking reason

>>206068104

>>206072005
why is he walking like a retard?

>>206071998
That's just so sad. Glad I never watched the new ones, not Super or even the "Remastered" DBZ because they totally destroyed all the good moments, even changing iconic music.

Irresponsible Captain Tylor
Record of Loddoss War
Golden Boy
Vampire Hunter D
Perfect Blue

Recommend me something, please.

A nice dinner

angel cop, but watch in japanese with subtitles, the dub changes some stuff because its apparently anti Semitic and that make the villain's motivation make no sense in the english dub

>>206057699
Didn't it crash right after he died?

>>206077015
I mean you can just watch the shows Tylor was making fun of pretty easily.
