What are your thoughts on the Studio Mir art style and shows that follow similar design trends like Invincible?

Why don’t you ever bring up shows like Blue Samurai or Scavengers Reign or Scott Pilgrim in your dumb /co/ threads? It’s the same thing over and over.

I haven't seen any of their shows and I don't want to. Superman looks like when teenage girls draw historical figures in anime style. I don't mind when men are drawn like that in moeslop because the staff is trained to draw cute girls, but this is a SUPERMAN SHOW. He should look masculine.

is it really new? I mean shows like korra voltron etc existed way before invincible/superman etc plus all those dc animated movies

still pretty gay though but eh I can respect it

It can be appealing, but usually there's something lacking that makes it not so. The image you posted just feels bland, neither good nor bad, and in a way that's worse than being bad.
It's obvious they're trying to be like anime... but not anime, and it just feels like it has the negatives of that style, but none of the charm.

[Anonymous No.6927124]

I was going to say the very same thing. It falls into an "uncanny valley" of sorts where it's clearly trying to be something but not committing all the way; a very surface-level reinterpretation of the anime style. I absolutely hate art like that.

Something about Korean anime seems "off". I don't know what it is. I don't know if it's the line weight, attention to detail, or what, but I can always tell when an animation was made by gooks by the end result of the product. Granted, these Korean studios are simply following off a storyboard script to meet their deadlines, but the animation seems "off" compared to something done by a Japanese studio. Perhaps some anon with more knowledge art/production experience can fill in.

I liked the direction it's going in with Voltron but I feel like the superman style is going backwards and cringe. The Voltron style was actually starting to look somewhat unique. If there's anything to dislike about anime it's boring character proportions.

Such a shame there isn't a direct modern equivalent/evolution to those kind of heavily stylized and angular shape-based art styles from the late 90s/early 2000s mangakas like Hiroyuki Takei and Kazuki Takahashi used to have.

The perspective is bad, the cameras panning is bad, the cast shadows are bad, again the overall perspective and eye level is non existent, every shot looks like it was designed as a sitcom 3 camera 10 feet away. The artists are probably capable of better but the production and direction decisions are just plain bad in terms of quality. I guess it's fine as low budget tweenager entertainment meant to fill a time slot

Unfair comparison. It's the only good western animated series. Almost good enough to be compared with the best anime series. The rest of western animation is shit.

Studio Mir's work on Legend of Korra looks FAAAAR better than ATLA did at its best. You're comparing a show that simply has a different art style

You can argue the latter is the superior show, but in terms of art and animation, Korra was visually gorgeous for a show. Mir can do really good work

I don't know shit about art but i know for sure that Invincible actually looks good.
The superman show is just slop de la slop. Fights have no detail or weight to them. Its just a spasm of flashes and whirls.
In Invincible every hit has a meaning and consequence to it.
It also is just a better looking show overall

I've seen people that have visited both countries. They generally seem to have a better impression of Korea. There was this couple, Japanese husband/Mexican wife, the husband had the option to stay working in Japan or to move to Korea and decided to move to Korea, both decided they enjoyed living in Korea more than in Japan.

Yeah, might be that. In general I don't like how most recent anime looks though, I tried watching JJK and Chainsaw Man and they just don't look right. Movement look rotoscoped, colors look washed and backgrounds look like models run through filters, maybe it's modern production, maybe Japanese tastes have change and they just don't match my personal taste anymore, maybe I'm growing old, anyhow... how's your sexlife?

Speaking of Korean animation in general. The design is fine, but the animation component - the acting, the timing, the smears and deformations - are quite lacking in Korean animation. They don't really have a personality to them, or something one can look at and say "that is Korean flavor" besides their robotic adroitness.
They need more time, they need a stronger domestic market, they need visionaries with the will and the fortitude to push beyond their outsource roots.

No matter how hard non-japs try to larp as anime, no-one except japs can do anime. Same goes in reverse. No matter how hard japs try to make anything except anime they just always make anime. Movies, or video games, it's always just anime. It's about the vibes more than a specific way your draw the eyes and this is what no on except japs can recreate. The vibes.

A lot of people completely miss the point of pseudo-anime. It's not about recreation, it's about taking the good parts of the style and making it palatable for a western audience by removing the cringey parts like, loli, harems, and sexualization of minors.
