/jp/ - Otaku Culture

Bitches love disney, yo

The same ones that are popular or have niche/otaku following in the West.

How is Disney seen in Japan, anyway?

The classic films are better animated than Japanimation, at least.

>>11276546
Truth. If you want to bang japs talk Disney.

>>11276541
star shit is not big in japan.

delete this awful thread

>>11276555
haha no.

>>11276563
>haha no.

Come on. I love Japanese animation as much as the next guy, but you'd have to be a fool to say the classic Disney films aren't some of the best-animated works out there. Even /m/ agrees, and they're a bunch of weeaboos.

>>11276563

Fuck off, weeb

The Japanese still draw animation on-threes.

Crazy weeaboos, Western animation is not Family Guy.

>>11276569
Classic Disney is art. It's not a fair comparison.

>smooth animation = good animation

that was extremely boring

>>11276779
It's not just smooth animation like your RETAS computer-tweened Japanese animation shit is, nerd. In fact, that was rotoscoped, back when rotoscoping was fresh and done well (Fleischer actually invented it).

Too many people think pixel-perfect motion tweening is "good animation", as though copy-pasting the same pixels in frame 156 into frame 187 makes it more on-model and therefore better than those wacky Mickey Mouse animations where every frame was elastic and different.
Those people are wrong. Fuck those people. They've killed animation.

you know you're a weeb when you start watching western movies dubbed in japanese

>>11276585
>>11276836
I'm never sure whether you people are actually serious about this or not.

It makes me wonder what they think of Kill Bill

>>11277043
Gaijin-kun saves the day.

>>11277043
well Sonny Chiba and Chiaki Kuriyama was in that shit

>>11277043
Japs love Kill Bill.

>>11277068
>>11277069
Even with the chinese version of Gran Torino?

That's incredible. The museum robbery scene was especially impressive.

>>11277027
It's good Japanese practice.

Someday, I would like to see a meeting between a western cultural enthusiast, and an eastern cultural enthusiast. The symmetry would be beautiful.

There's also that artbook of Gainax artists doing western works.

nippon love usa

>>11277258
Why does germany hate the us?
I thought they were neutered of their imperialistic desires.

>>11277266
You would hate the USA too if they stabbed you in the back because of Jews in WW1.

>>11277266
And why does russia like USA?
And why does the nigerian prince love USA?

Whelp, it could have been a fun thread.

>>11277266
Because germany is the anti-patriotism country. A lot of amerifriends act like it's an achievment that they happen to be born there, which can be annoying to normal people.

>>11277258

Why do Lithuania, Itay, France, and South Korea have such a high opinion of us, I wonder? Japan doesn't really surprise me.

>>11277258
Weird. I was under the impression that South Korea hated us. Looks like Lithuania and Italy like us a lot too.

>>11277068
Chiaki Kuriyama played the same character she played in Battle Royale.

I can't decide whether that was creative genius or total laziness on Tarantino-sama's part.

>>11277221
Pre-Gainax, they did the OP animation(s) that referenced a lot of Western works.

It makes me realize how stupid the Japan/West divide is. We both have a ton of cool SF and pop culture shit. Favouring one over the other is stupid, in either direction. The Japanese have made some damn good monster movies. America has produced some great sociological science fiction novels. I'm from neither country, but I respect both of them equally in this regard.

>>11277548

>Favouring one over the other is stupid, in either direction.

No, it's not. It's called preference, dweeb.

>>11277642
"Arbitrary bullshite", more like.

>>11276580

Myazaki is as good as Disney. The latest disney movies were shit though.

>Windsor McCay
>1911

>Any studio of any nationality
>any year

You've already lost.

You do realize that a lot if not all the recent "western" animes like ben 10 or any dc or marvel shit are animated by mostly japanese, right ?

>>11277816
You mean Koreans

>>11277816
That's not how you spell korea.

>>11277822

They mostly have nip name in the generics. There are also a ton of korean though. It depends on the anime I suppose.

お前の父はわしだ

>>11276546
>>11276555
Its seen as the inspiration of manga and anime. Also they love that fucking animation so much. I hate new disney so much. Another thing Japan and I disagree on in culture. Thats one thing the Japanese friends never got tired of talking about (The girls and gay ones).

>>11277816
Japs don't even animate their own shit anymore.

>>11278030
They animate all the high budget watchable stuff. You can't blame them for pushing out other crap too.

>>11277816
Oh, it's hardly only recent western animation.

Frosty the Snowman, too.

>>11278032
No it isn't. Not Disney.

>>11278032
I like to think of Disney as solely Pixar animations nowadays.

>>11276541
>DUB
i cant stand how awful the acting is!!! it's like theres no emotion at all!

>>11277816
oh i see. i hear that big island is called corea or something stupid like that now

>>11278030
This, all the time on the anime end titles you can see tons of Korean, Vietnamese and even Filipino names.

>>11276541
>>11278026
They should used Norio to dub Vader.

He dubs Lando (my favorite alien) IIRC.

Janny please stop bullying me.

>>11277548

Best comment all thread.

People need to take it easy. That Superman short was incredible, but just because it has better animation than some (lots) of anime doesn't mean that anime is shit, nor does it mean that Western animation is better. Both cultures take different looks on animation and each have their strengths and weaknesses. Both otaku and geeks can be really cool and interesting people.

Me, just like a lot here, have a preference to Japanese animation and geek culture. It's have a very profound affect in my life that western geekdom simply hasn't.

>>11278139
>Both otaku and geeks
...are filthy scum, like you.

>>11278140

Please don't bully

Got a few pages from that artbook...

>>11278139

Are you finished with that soap box? Because both you and the person-you-responded-to's post were completely unnecessary.

Why are you taking pictures of a magazine? The quality of a scan is infinitely higher when you tear the bindings of the book or magazine apart

>>11278217
I don't own it, it's just what I could find online.

They fucking love Spiderman.

I think they love Back to the Future.

Everyone loves Back to the Future.

>>11284096
Marty McFly is so dreamy.

Even the ultimate best graphic novels ever made in the west are kind of shit. And the actual series are just terrible.

>>11284096
Theres a Jap dub on niconico with a bajillion views so i think you're right, remember watching it a year or so ago.

>>11277285
it's probably before the souring of relations with Russia over the past few years. Nigerian princes love us because we keep on giving them money.

>>11277820
Face it, Japan is East Korea

>>11276836
>killed animation

I agree. It's animation, and it should be animated. You're watching a cartoon/anime because it's not live action. The animations are part of the medium. When you try to go for that perfect effect you kill half of what animated media are supposed to be about; animation.

>>11277541
Battle Royale is actually Tarantino's favorite movie.

>>11285260
I think it just boils down to taste. I personally don't like the overly fluid animations that use unnecessary frames and look overly elastic. I didn't like that Superman short from earlier either (except from the fact that it was old Superman and not overpowered Superman).

So I guess I'm glad current anime is the way it is.

I read somewhere that the oldest Japanese animators cultivated a distinct style based on the fact that they were seriously poverty animators and couldn't afford to go all-out on animation like Americans so they had to rely on other stuff instead.
