Not really. It's a style based around drawing very simplified, aesthetically pleasing, expressionate faces. The vast majority of anime also tries to keep the rest of the human anatomy quite realistic. Proportion wise they tend to be closer to realism than western animation.

There's a breaking point where time constraints make the tradeoff so great that it breaks the art.
Episodic anime constantly reaches it.

Besides, I'm not talking shit about animation or stylisation.
Both comic book and manga art are a lot more complex than animation art and obviously designed for static images. Animation's great. But it loses all meaning when you're taking a style meant for animation and stretch it over an entire static canvas. It is very bizzare to me that doing such a thing is a huge trend on the internet.
>>1732232
It's a tradeoff between more detailed art and more frames. In TV anime you often see rather detailed drawings stretched over several minutes, with only the mouth of the character moving.

there is a reason why anime art is so differently stylized. because they use so much more angles and different shots than in the west, it actually becomes easier if you just use a properly simplified style instead something "vague" like donald duck or adventure time type of styles

Yeah. It's actually largely devoid of any variety. Which, again, goes back to its roots as an animation medium, where a large number of people would be drawing the same character.

[Anonymous No.1732297]

>>1732289
well to be far the faces in anime are basically emoticons.

due to the low quality paper, printing methods and smallish size of manga [initially at least] the facial expressions needed to be very simple otherwise you couldn't see them.

then on the anime side there was a huge disney influence, via tezuka mainly, which is where you get those big eyes and cuteness and stuff. (compare astroboy to mickey mouse).

the anime we have now is a confluence of those two things, you have the simple mickiesque faces and the stock expressions from manga which along with just being part of the language of the medium also happen to be cheaper. production cost also has a huge influence on many anime tropes.

Every golden-age western cartoon looked perfect because the animation was done separately. A single character was animated by a single animator. The character, FX, and layouts were done by separate teams.

In Japan however, the animators are assigned to animate scenes. A single animator does layout, FX, character, and camera animation per scene. They're expected to be a "jack-of-all-trades". There are an average of 10-15 key animators in a show.

we get it, you prefer the goofy caricatures in the west over the eastern stuff.

i also don't like certain things about bahi's scenes, some of them feel like he is overcompensating for something.
the "acting" in that scene was very cheesy, but when i watched that scene everything felt noticably more alive.
the expressions were bland but the movement was there.
none of those characters were supposed to stand out. they were just random people in the school, all of them. of course he could have done all the faces as well, but if you think about the budget, this is already a pretty good effort.

in any case, it's the exact opposite of soulless.
if you think about how a western animator might have handled this scene, i really doubt it they could handle it noticably better.
this is why i'm saying you people are biased. you don't know what the fuck you're talking aobut. you simply base everything on you vague dislike towards anime.

like i said, it definitely felt like overacting, but bahi's still young and that was pretty much his first scene in the industry.

That's a bad example of your point, but that's I generally agree - especially for today's anime. Ever since the anime industry crapped out financially and started relying more on digital crap and outsourcing, we're losing trained, professional artists in favor of basement dwellers.

Basement dwellers *can* put out great illustrative art, but the fact that they don't draw real people, let alone go outside and interact with them would mean they will animate soulless unrealistic (or "disconnected") impressions of "people". And these characters are mostly stereotypes/tropes that fit to their self-absorbed narrative.

Hayao Miyazaki addressed this shit, and even though most people thought he was against "new anime", most real artists and veteran animators who had professional art school training understood his point perfectly.

Study up on the subject before criticizing it please. There is no such thing as "anime art", but rather what I assume you are talking about is manga, which means comic in Japanese. The art style used in anime originates from this style, not the other way around. Also, as another anon stated, there is a field of art called illusts (or illustrations) that also count as art for the effort put into them. Anime is simply a compilation of similar manga frames with simple shading applied to them (not counting CGI), and it shouldn't be/isn't considered "art". It's misinformed people like you that think anime is art. Did you even know that anime is short for "animation"? The style existed before modern, "standard" anime was created: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Manga#History_and_characteristics

It wasn't until companies like GAINAX popped up that anime and CG illusts looks the way they do now.

This was last month's star letter. Should give you a good idea of who ImagineFX's core readership is.

Something tells me this anime-hating guy would really like Little Witch Academia, considering his arguments. It's made by pretty much the biggest westaboos in the industry too.

Anyway, I'm a huge weeaboo and I mostly agree with this guy's criticism even if I don't share his preferences. I find that that anime is more creative with it's perspective and scenes but it leaves a lot to be desired in terms of it's actual movement for me.

One of the biggest reason I and a lot of other people really liked LWA and went on to fund it's Kickstarter is because the animation was a lot more lively and refreshing compared to typical anime and it's precisely because it's animation is more Western in style.

Japanese Otaku, on the other hand, don't really seem to give a shit and mostly thinks we're crazy for throwing so much money at Trigger for this.

Shinya Ohira's work is great.

I laugh at everyone who looks at an amazing piece of sakuga animation and thinks it's rotoscoped.

Not too much to say about their commissions. They just give me a list of 5 or so questions to choose from and I just pick the 2 I like the most.

Then I write an article and do a couple of quick paintings to demonstrate what I wrote about.

I don't do them for the pay because honestly it's not even a fraction of what an actual freelance job would pay (like, applibot or gameloft)

They are just fun to do.

Get the name right OP. Also, the tool is not to blame, you can create good work even with Microsoft's shitty Paint if you have the basics down. But this image... I've done illusts for 5 years now, and never have I seen art quality this bad. Then again, I stay on pixiv most of the time, and try to avoid eye-burning "art".

Also note that illustrations aren't art. It only counts as art when its creative. But most of my work is requested with certain parameters, as is with most illustrations. so yea. I think I'll go wash my eyes with soap now.

I see you're trying to avoid blaming your own faults here.

The majority of people, male or female, have to do this.

People that hate on anime are like the scared pussies who think the first deep sea creature is ugly and don't want to look or explore for any more.

Yeah, no shit a lot of anime or manga is cheap garbage. But the stuff that is good offers so many different experiences.

This is coming from a person who doesn't pick east or west, just loves animation and cartooning for what it is.

[Anonymous No.1740055]

In regards to the anime vs western debate:
in terms of how appealing the animation and still frames are, if the best of the west is disney and the east is ghibli, Disney wins by a clear margin. Character animation wise, even disney feature animations worst animated work is better than ghiblis best. Although ghiblis best work mononoke has some god damn good backgrounds which makes it better than fox and the hound.

If anything the best animation from Japan I've seen are some of Toeis early works such as Hakuja Den and The little Prince and the 9 headed Dragon. Maybe that's because I like the amount of movement they use and the higher framerate. They still have their flaws though.

does anyone know who animated the scene in Tokyo Godfathers, where Gin confronts the husband of the mad woman who kidnaps the baby, in his apartement?
the style reminds me of the Kid's story segment (of animatrix)

nevertheless, I regard Masaaki Yuasa as a great animator

he animated a forth coming Adventure Time episode :

and Mind Game remains my favourite film
(how can someone animate this pure madness?)
