choose one you fucking weeb

It's not appealing at all to me, it feels bland, uninspired, lazy, tropey, I could go on and on about all the problems I have with it, and this is true for 95% of manga/anime artists out there.

My main problem with it however is the laziness, most people drawing anime just throw anatomy and perspective out of the window, they simplify too much in exchange for 'cuteness', but the end result is not cute or pretty at all, it's pathetic.

Yes because american comics and cartoons are so much better lmao

Why don't you look at actually good japanese artists like Katsuhiro Otomo or Murata instead of doing those shitty generalizations?

Nice strawman.
>Why don't you look at actually good japanese artists like Katsuhiro Otomo or Murata instead of doing those shitty generalizations?
Those are the exceptions and I even have my reservations with Murata. But in the end Otomo, Murata, Inoue, Miura, Asano, Tsutomu, Oku and maybe some five or six others I'm not remembering now are part of a very small group among the thousands of mangakas.

>>4749659
the fact that you think comics is the only form of art in this world at least explains why you think anime is good, but it doesnt make you less of a shitty weeb. Cope.

>>4749672
And so are Jim Lee, Mignola, McFarlane, Simon Bisley, Frank Miller, Neal Adams and a few others among thousands of comics artists in America for comparison, what's your point?

>>4749636
Autism. Once someone goes autistic over anime,(you,OP) they don’t really care for any other kind of art that could be meaningful, and are quick to disregard it. It just leads to the cancerous growth of repetitive garbage, and because you are disgusting, because you are autistic and obsessive, you won’t care. It’s anime, the girl is cute, who cares. It’s very recognizable, and because people like that they can recognize things, and because things that are new are uncomfortable to them, anime will be liked just for the fact that it is anime. A majority of people who like anime, are not creative, or original.

Jesus Christ, why do you insist on that strawman? Are you mentally disabled or something? I don't give a fuck about comics, you came to the art critique board making a thread questioning about what makes anime appealing and you're getting answers by artists that anime is lazy, bland, uninspired artstyle, no one here is comparing manga trash to comic trash, we're comparing manga with actual good art that takes years of practice, and talent to achieve.

>>4749707
He said it's appealing, I argued it's not appealing at all to anyone with a little bit of artistic IQ. That's what my post was.

>>4749714
Fair. My mistake.

It's easy to draw and the symbol drawn faces gives the spectator the ability to easily self insert or fall in love with a character. I just wish weebs didn't use anime as an excuse to be garbage at drawing, there are beautiful anime but weebs refuse to watch them because "it doesn't have little grils i can self insert into!!!1!".

>>4749733
Oh geez, if you think that trash you posted is beautiful in any way, you're in for a huge awakening.

>>4749765
It's just appealing

Decent animu is simplified realism. While it's degenerated to big-eyed, bobble-headed weirdness, the figures are still basically realistic.

You guys should be ashamed to be this closed minded, especially if you are artists.
'Anime' is not one monolithic art style, but instead encompasses a wide variety of art styles that have featured many different popular trends over the decades in varying proportions.

>>4749797
>closed minded, especially if you are artists.
Being open minded has nothing to do with lowering your standards or praising clwar trash.

>>4749810
You should be ashamed.

And how diverse IS anime anon? Good “anime”(I’m 100% sure the creators are not fond of their art being lumped in with all the other lanovel trash) that has artistic merit is extremely rare, and does not represent the genre.

>>4749636
interesting question

I think that at least part of it must be because of it versatility, because you can tell any story of any genre using an anime style. But I can be all of it because you could say the same about cartoons.

maybe it has something to do with japan having a such big entertainment industry

>>4749818
not him but, 99% of everything is shit, what is your point?

You crabs sure sound assmad that the only thing you own art has gotten you were 15 followers on social media with 11 of them being you classmates. Stay pleb and starving, losers.

>>4749841
Not at all, you can make a point for movies and other pop medias that were born in recent times, but art, literature, music has always had high standards, the best mangakas barely reach those standards and the trash ones are in a level way below what's considered trash in other media.

>>4749636
Masking.

>>4749638
Denial isn't healthy.

>>4749853
I'm not telling anyone to give up on anime or that nothing good can come out of it, but if you want to stick to anime you should first become a master in technique then apply that to an anime style, don't be like the huge majority which is just doing baseless trash.

>>4749859
>Not at all, you can make a point for movies and other pop medias that were born in recent times, but art, literature, music has always had high standards
Are you just now figuring out that the modern works you see don't stack up to the art that has survived history? No shit.

>>4749841
>recent times
are you going to make the argument that in ancient times the art was better? Because the counter to that is good art is more like to be preserved.

or are you going to argue that to this day music, for instance, still have such high standard? I don't know how would you defend such claim, because there is no standard today.

>>4749818
>Good “anime” ... is extremely rare
Good art is extremely rare.

Because it is overly sexual. It takes the features our brain is wired to like, and enhances it. Perfect skin (because who would draw blemishes), perfect bodily shape, big eyes (feminine and youthful) and more. 3DCG can obviously accomplish the same things if done well enough, but as of now, most people just make uncanny valley stuff.

I don't know, the answers seems obvious enough to me.

>>4750044
Big eyes are indeed a feature that the human brain is strongly attuned to. Maybe that's one of the main features that makes it so popular.

>>4749636
Anime/manga is the reason why comic books and cartoons are dying. If you don’t want to make money from anime, then join some money laundering scheme with your painted fruits and bananas taped to a wall.

anime is optimised for neotenous appeal. that's what american 3d kids movies do too: make the eyes big, nose tiny, face round, expressions baby-like, voice cute, etc

>>4749636
Simplified and exaggerated. My eyes seems to get attracted at big shapes. I know where i should look.
