Except moe (at least to the extent of shows carried exclusively by moe) is a fad that is already starting to fade. People that thought that this was going to take over somehow and be all that anime was going to be were idiots.
Yeah, you missed the part where before all of that you got nothing but horrendously low budget 26-52 episode children's shows and OVAs for "adults" that, if you were lucky, released one episode every 4 months.

>MUH OLD ANIMES
Most anime were either some kid's show/very family friendly/ for actual girls/ Some run of the mill Mecha trying to copy Gundam/Macross or some one shot OVA.
Anime creators in the 80s liked cute girls, GAR AND scifi, had passion while also having japan at its best back in the 80s/90s.
It's evident that there's wonderful work in modern times too with things such as Tatami Galaxy, Casshern Sins and Texhnolyze being of note but damn the industry overall is trying hard without actually seemingly liking anything but cute shit/trying to make money of otaku.
>>124877627
He is talking animation quality not themes ya poophead.
>>124876878
How the fuck did he rotate his robo hand if the glove translates his actual hand motions?!
>>124878017
Past a certain rotation degree the glove sends a continuous signal to the robot' wrist to keep rotating.
Not that hard.
>>124877675
this type of motion seems really uncanny because the software that does the motion smoothing seems to be poorly optimized. Likely because they can't afford the good software/ animators used in real movies. Rotoscoped or CG can look great but it ends up costing more than hiring slaves.On that note, is Africa the next Korea for making anime?

>>124878285
Yes and yes, but it takes about 5 million to make a 24 episode anime that's action packed with smooth animation. That means you only have enough for about 2 shows.
>>124876878
>>124877054
I used to feel the same way, till I found a job and other things to worry about. I just watch anime in between work to escape from bullshit, so I want it catered to my mood and desire.
I couldn't care less about a masterpiece or animation quality, a light hearted SoL or romcom with decent characters works for me.
Keep it coming Japan.
>>124875633
Why the fuck are you still complaining about this, what would you expect them to do? Making anime is not very profitable at all, if they don't do this shit they would have a high chance of suffering losses. Going with a high budget unique series is like flipping a coin, you can never know if it will be successful enough to turn in a profit. Companies almost went bankrupt trying to do this. All they can do is either pander to hardcore fans with whatever seems to be the thing at the moment or try to reach a wider audience, which is a lot riskier but can turn in better profit if successful. Either way you faggots are complaining.

I doubt they all are actually noticing the inconsistency themselves. Mostly, I suspect it's mimicry. This utter lack of self respect agitates me greatly.
The age of moe died years ago. We are sliding down the path of chuuni and light novels now. Get with the times gramps.

Yeah, because realism is the goal of fiction, right?
>>124884099
That's not what's being talked about. See >>124883584
The term "moe" only came into popular usage around the turn of the millennium, the very late 90s and early 00s. Prior to that, the same basic concept was called "kawaii" by anime fans, or the "culture of cute".
There are nuances to the word moe that only otaku care about, for most people it's a vague term you can apply to any series with cute girls.

Art is 90% looking at things, anon. How do you expect to draw something if you don't know what it looks like?

>>124884241
There's a large number of people who believe that, in both Japan and the west. Invariably they are people who have pretensions about the "importance of fiction" and often crave the approval of intellectuals and snobs.
I think for Miyazaki, it's more that his aesthetics run toward old fashioned humanistic storytelling and modern anime culture is too insular and cut off from mainstream society to really connect with that.
>>124884192
I prefer not to give a straight answer, Why ruin the speculation?
>>124884241
Realism is not the goal, but it's a necessary component to make a fiction good.
>>124884326
Why? By this logic, why write fiction at all if reality is so important that it must be used as the standard against which fiction is measured?
>>124884376
>>124884361
>fiction
This is a wish-fulfillment medium and 'realistic' shit doesn't really offer wish-fulfilling shit.

>>124884415

>>124884241
It is a goal of fiction yes
Would be rediculous to claim that there's only one goal of fiction wouldn't it?
>>124884448
So caricatures are bad satire? Over-the-top shit is bad? Experimental writing is bad? Visual-focused films are bad? Does this apply to all art? Do you hate impressionism and cubism?
Anime has been copying earlier anime for years now and steadily decreasing in quality as result.
I really wish Japan had a cultural analogy to the Vulgate because then they'd know that 'a copy of a copy of a copy of a copy of a copy' just does not fucking work.
>>124882318
Chinese cartoons just happens to be the medium we seem to be caught in. In other circumstances it might be confucian philosophy and we might be as happy dedicating our live to that
>>124884486
Literary fiction is a bit different from film or animation in terms of what people strive for, but you're right about short fiction elitism in particular being very abstracted and irreverent these days. Still, there's a pervasive assumption that in order for fiction to be good it must somehow reflect reality in form or in content.
And if you press really hard about why that is, you'll find the reasoning has nothing to do with aesthetics and everything to do with some cobbled together philosophy about fiction.

I said it's not the goal, but it's a necessary COMPONENT.
Not everything is black and white. It's not like it has to go full realistic or full unrealistic. You can't completely seperate those two.
What I mean is experience is necessary for one's imagination. That's all.

>a parabolic trajectory
Yes, Gravity's Rainbow is a great example, thank you, /lit/.
>>124884872
It's only shit for faggots who are triggered from unrealistic shit.
This year has been a lot better than the previous 2.

Whatever you do, don't jerk off to this.
>>124884721
>Do you not even care HOW the characters mirror reality as long as they do in some way?
Why would I care about that?
>>124884827
Just give me seinen mangaand Despera, and I'd be okay with eight million SoL and romance shows every season.
>>124884739
So that's all you've read, huh?
Understandable I think.
>>124883767
Nothing is better than Key shit
>>124884984
> it's a necessary COMPONENT
Yeah, so that would imply that non-realist works are all bad.

So if I filmed myself masturbating, it'd be a 10/10 masterpiece? You're as bad as the performance artists.
>>124884584
Originality is extremely overrated, and most anime do not even try to be original. You still do get a few original anime and manga that dare to be a little different, but most follow proven formulas and just riff on those.
And it's a good method, since it allows you to focus on execution rather than original content, and that's what makes anime enjoyable to watch.
>>124882949
Not really. You can complain about it all being the same shit, but there's about 4x more anime being produced now due to cost reduction from digital animation, and likewise there's a much bigger variety. In the same season, you have straight mecha shows, harem shows, sports shows, fujoshit shows, romance shows, action shows, comedy shows, SoL shows, action shows, fantasy shows, realistic drama shows..there's way more variety than you're seeing.
>>124885144
Wait, that was actually on purpose? My sides are gone.
>>124885089
>implying you can actually make something completely non-realism.
>>124885089
On the flip-side, it is impossible to make any work of fiction which is non grounded in reality, but this is a limitation of the human mind being in said reality.

He's just saying that you doesn't have to be gud at realism to produce good work.

yes, that's exactly what i implied.

>>124883822
The Titan premise is fairly original. Not much else. It's the fact that the Titans mostly look like naked deformed people that's original.
>>124883598
Imagine though. If every show could look like a film and still not go overbudget.

Not him, but it is what you implied.
>>124885020
Because appreciation of art is about aesthetics, not philosophy. But, it turns our you're just like the people I mentioned earlier, who don't actually have any aesthetic basis for preferring realism but do so out of some half-baked philosophical reasoning.
>>124877054
Why the fuck do people call this shit dancing.
It's not cute.
It's not entertaining.
It's teenagers and grown women acting like 3rd graders

In other words, the same way as Disney.
People who complain about moe think that it's a worthwhile expenditure of their time to complain about an industry that produces dozens of shows and tons of comics a year not targeting them in every single instance.
>>124885213
If you really want to play with semantics, then saying that fiction is necessarily realist means that saying any non-realist fiction is bad is an empty truth.

It's a limitation of language, really. Barring logically necessary statements, everything you say draws on reality in some way.

That's idols for you. To this day I don't understand the cult around them. You can stick literally any half-way talented girl on stage in a ridiculous costume and within a month she'll have a legion of worshipers ready to devote their life savings to buying anything vaguely associated with her. And I just don't get it.
>>124885297
Well, maybe I shouldn't use the word "realism".
I mean to say that experience is important for one's imagination. The more you know, the more ingredient you have for your fiction.

This thread is gold.

I think most of them just don't like anime as a medium. They like a few individual anime series which are invariably dissimilar from the majority of anime, so the only conclusion you can draw is that they simply do not like anime as a whole.
I think we should define realism before we go any further in this debate.
>>124877675
>>124877054
Because market research trumps actual quality by a mile.
>>124885593
That makes your point's relevance to the original topic depends on your definition of experience though.
If you only qualify 'experience based on realistic human relationship' as the valid experience here, then you are mistaken.
>>124885593
What a platitudinous statement, and it's nothing but a retreat from the topic. From the start the point has been that the aesthetics of fiction are not evaluated by their adherence to reality.

Miyazaki's original statement can be seen many ways, as the responses to it show, but this particular interpretation of it, that fiction is evaluated by its adherence to reality, is what sparked this argument.
