Why is anime the greatest artform made by man, ever?

[Anonymous No.2488742]

Art-wise, it's superior to western by a long-shot.

Story and everything else-wise, it panders to tards and Japs. Which there might be a connection to.

I watched the first two episodes of Braves and I realized just how much time I had wasted watching anime my life.

because it boils down stylization to a level sitting between western and realism. And because of this, a lot of people give it praise for being able to portray emotion better than western, but still have the ability to create a world where magic and fantasy are a namestake. It was just the lucky combination of just enough of two things that it became massively successful while technically efficient and clean. Best? not so sure but pretty much amazingly marketable and relevant

or something like that. this was probably bait, so nevermind. I'll just shitpost to cover up that I responded

anime a shit

cartoons these days are either full 3D or flash-generated copy-pasted symbols.
none of it is drawn. don't even mention Disney nostalgia, it's long gone. anime isn't always drawn, but most of it is.
don't even get me started on how biased you probably are, because of how little you've seen. you probably associate all anime as moeblob or some people instantly think hentai, cause that's what they see on porn sites.

I was thinking more golden age of manga, the introduction of anime to america and the Ghibli films. The times it was drawn and effort was put in, for both western and eastern. think of how many older style animated movies focus on a market other than children. I can think of don bluth indirectly charming adults and watership down but after that its pretty far from it. Its because western animation indirectly limits itself to a more soft, child like feeling while eastern is willing to find more of a middle ground, so they are able to deal with darker tones and open up to a larger market, meaning anime is directly more marketable than cartoons, with the removal of rabid children fawning over pixar. Does this mean anime overthrows traditionalism and realistic values in quality, ehhh. but it really does mean it could soon overthrow it in popularity and staying power

See, At a glance, the art DOES look better. In animation, people tend to think spectacle=quality. It sure is a lot more detailed then western animation, but objectively, the art is equal. I will say this, though. Anime has much better animation then western animation, which is funny, because western animation tends to be much simpler art wise. also, despite what you may think, I actually DO like anime a lot.

actually from everything you were saying, you painted yourself to be someone that liked anime a lot. You need to hate it more.
