Is he right about the current anime industry?
>>138667780
No he did fuck everything up.
Last film was just awful.
yes
He knows it, we know it, yet nothing will change.
>>138667820
>we know it
I don't think so, most of /a/ users watch every seasonal moeshit and haremshit and never realize that they're watching the same thing over and over.
>>138667820
The only way things would change is to make animating a more attractive job to people other than otaku.
>>138667872
Oh I know I'm watching the same thingI love it.Please help.
>>138667780
Was he right when he said it in the 70s?
He always was right.
>>138667872
Pretty certain the majority of us know we are watching the same shit over and over.
>>138667780
He's a hack, but still has a point, the industry has gone stale as fuck, but there's nothing much we can do about it, even if the entirety of /a/ wanted it to change, elevens still have shit taste.I'll be honestly tho, moeshit is a guilty pleasure of mine.
>>138667780
Yes get rid of all that annoying Tsundere and weird girls, it's bullshit.
>>138667872
But the characters look different!
>>138668313
He never said it in the 70s.
The anime industry is rotting because K-ON bringed this wave of moeshit about cute girls doing cute things.
Yes.
He's a grumpy old Luddite who gets a free ride on his shit films because he made some good ones in the early 90s, but he IS right.
He's right.
>>138668390
And it is watched by people, who can't stand looking at other people.
So go home old hag.
He's onto something.
>>138668396
>The are people who genuinely believe this
Yes, obviously. Do you guys really think anyone has more authority on the subject than him?
>>138667780
Yeah. But who cares?
>>138668524
>Do you guys really think anyone has more authority on the subject than him
Tezuka, but he's ded.
>>138668524
Who would be better than him?
>>138667780
About as right as Trump and anti-vaccers.
>>138668644
Inb4 Miyazaki's hot opinions on Tezuka.
Yeah. He has been for decades. It's an industry after all.
>>138668570
hypocrite
>>138668800
and pedo
>>138668524
Not in movies but he never put his hands on tv anime and the industry around this. Yoshiyuki Tomino, Mitsuo Hashimoto and Hideaki Anno are the ones who are allowed to say shit about TV anime.
>>138667780
I think people should realize that the same problems afflicting the anime industry are also affecting the film industry: power of media and talent agencies, over reliance on a few big names, few original works.
Anime is probably worse because it is almost exclusively marketed and aimed at a shrinking share of the populace.
Luckily, you can make films for like $1 to $5 million and still make something great. Anime isn't so lucky. Animation is expensive as fuck.
>>138668396
didnt lucky star start sll the crap?
Doesn't he make movies and show for kids and families? That type of anime still exists and has nothing to do with Otaku.
I think he makes a very specific type of anime that doesn't really fit into a broader standard of what "anime" is.
>>138668368
But whenever a show comes up that is different, then all the normies and anons shitpost it in unison. You can only blame yourself.
>>138668859
>but he never put his hands on tv anime and the industry around this.
Does Lupin the Third, Future Boy Conan or some of the Masterpiece Theater series ring a bell?
>>138668396
He's been criticizing the industry since the 70s.
>>138668859
lol what?
>>138667780
Of course he's right.
Has anime ever been truly creative? It's always been adaptions of something.
>>138667820
This.
>>138669055
Not really.
>>138668396
>because K-ON bringed this wave of moeshit
Do you think a wave of moeshit was started by K-ON? Lol. K-ON! is a apotheosis of it. The moeshait started much earlier.
>>138668859
>Not in movies but he never put his hands on tv anime and the industry around this.
But that's factually false.

>>138669055
>>138669055
Yes. On those occasions where the anime isn't adapted from anything.
>>138669055
There has always been anime originals.
>>138669098
I always forget how friggin' five-headed the characters in Ichigo Mashimaro are.

There is few that come to mind:

>>138669219
>Madoka Magica
Weak bait.
>>138669219
I worded my post vaguely, not really as in it hasn't always been adaptations, like what you posted. I was disagreeing with him.
how is no one growing tired of High School settings and themes?
and character archetypes are so predictable...
>>138668859
Anno and Miyazaki are just losers who unable to compete with modern anime.
And so they angrily envy their more successful colleagues.
>>138669359
Otaku are tasteless morons.
>>138669359
I heard that high school is the only time that japanese people are happy in their entire life, so I guess it's more escapism.
>>138669429
They are unarguably among the most popular directors of anime worldwide.
There is no one more successful.
>>138669429
Who is successfull today in anime, aside from SHAFT, the long runners, and some of the new hype machines (AoT, Sword Art Online, One Punch Man etc.).
And Anno never seemed successfull aside from two (Nadia and NGE)
>>138668859
Lupin
Conan
Nadia
>>138669359
I think it may be escapism. HS was kinda fun. Life sucks.
>>138669442
Not really, japanese College is pretty cool too, is just that entereting to a good one can be pretty hard, but once you're in you can relax.
The problem is that most otaku don't even go to college, so it's easier for them to relate to High School settings.
>>138669513
>successful today in anime
>One Punch Man
>>138669513
>never seemed successful
He's directing the new Godzilla.
>>138669486
Any director who made some 8+ TV anime is much more professional.
They are mediocrity who consider themselves geniuses because of popularity in the past.
>>138669359
Highschool animes are overused.
>>138669433
>The rise and fall of Japan's otaku in three stages. The first generation are called "otaku aristocrats" -- early adopters from the late Seventies and early Eighties who felt the need to proselytize and convert their friends to the lifestyle. This sense of noblesse oblige eventually gave rise to the second generation of "otaku elite" from the late Eighties through the late Nineties, who spurned and scorned anyone without the good sense to share their taste in entertainment. And finally, this self-centered attitude reached its apex in the current generation of "moé-otaku," purveyors and consumers of anime, comics, and video games that feature infantile female characters instead of plotlines.
Okada takes the current generation of otaku to task for continuing to "ghettoize" themselves, retreating ever-deeper into individual virtual worlds when they encounter any sort of resistance to their interests. Where's the sense of pride, of camraderie? he wonders. He decries their inward focus, their passivity, their apparent lack of desire to learn about or interact with subcultures outside of their own tiny worldviews. (The last is a hallmark difference, at least in Okada's idealized view, between the moe-otaku and traditional old-school otaku, who actually forced themselves to partake of genres or titles they didn't particularly like in order to broaden their horizons.)
>>138669689
I didn't realize we were discussing who was "more professional."
What you assume they think of themselves doesn't factor in either.
If anything we are the exactly audience that Miyazaki hates: people that uses otaku media (chans) to talk about waifus and feed the rotten industry.
>>138667872
I'm aware, and it's shit, but I can't stop.
I hate Miyazaki, he's a faggot who cant find his waifu
>>138670075
Just don't start.
>>138669997
>feed the industry
But I don't buy merchandise or support the industry in anyway because I stopped watching anime a long time ago.

Maybe, but he can't really talk since he made that piece of shit. Spirited Away is his last good film. Howl's, Ponyo and Rises all range from mediocre to two bombs weren't enough.

admit it, this always happens with humanity. someone makes something good and there will always be an asshole who complicates everything just because they wanted to make the most profit with the least effort.
let's put bread as an example:
naturally baked bread takes only water, flour and time to make, that's it, you don't need yeast. bacteria naturally grows inside the dough to make bread a very complex meal rich in nutrients. you just need time to let it rest a couple of hours so it rises. totally worth it because it is tastier than that bland shit you get from stores.
commercial bread on the other hand has 31 ingredients... 31!!! what the fuck!? why this many?! because the asshole who wants profit thought that it takes too much time and effort to make bread rise and be nutritious, so they pump dough with all this chemical shit to make up for it. CACHING!!! MONEY MOTHERFUCKER!
same goes with anime. things got stupid because someone wanted to make something more practical. fuck stories, fuck character development, fuck character design, fuck years of art mastery, let's all do the same shit and rig it all in a fucking computer! who gives a shit?! they will pay for it in DVD sales, but don't worry! it has tits and acts like a retarded brain dead child so they don't have to think too hard about the story and there is no way it will hurt their feelings! YES I AM LOOKING AT YOU DAGASHI KASHI... you piece of shit anime.
Fuck this. fuck it all. FUCK MOE, FUCK WAIFUS, FUCK EVERYTHING.

No one bothers to check for the validity of these quotes.

Don't ever believe quotes on the internet. Ever.

Alright pal, explain to me what mature and 100% serious anime i should watch instead

Oh you're one of those 80's anime fans that think a few high budget OVAs were all that was produced in the "good old days"
>>138670884
Legend of the Galactic Heroes, Monster, Tatami Galaxy, Ping Pong, Satoshi Kon movies, Lain, Texhnolyze, Ergo Proxy, just to name a few.
>>138670904
Monogatari is a gourmet harem, they try to hide with "complex" dialogues but it's no different than any other generic haremshit.
Just look at the cover, there's only one male character while the rest are all girls.
Why would Colonel Sanders know anything about anime?
>>138668390
>Almost all Japanese animation is produced with hardly any basis taken from observing real people, you know.

These are good things.

no that would be any haremshit that was made in the last decade
>>138667780
Who cares what some old washed up nip has to say.
He'll probably be dead in the next 5 years while masterpieces like Dan-Machi and Konosuba are still being made.
>>138671082
You could argue that Chiaki Konaka series and Ergo Proxy are boring but holy shit, how is any of Yuasa's or Kon's work not enthralling? The pace is always off the roof.
Why do people act like the once a season serious anime is supposed to be the "standard" that all anime are supposed to be?
>>138671132
how well did they do sales wise?
>>138671161
why not?
I like watching what I watch and I have better taste than anyone on /a/
I'm not seeing any issues. Maybe you guys should just watch what you enjoy, and ignore what some group of fags on /a/ has to say about it.
>>138671014
that doesn't make it a harem. Besides the 3-4 other male characters in the series who make somewhat frequent appearances, only 3 of the girls in the show actually have any kind of romantic feelings for the MC, and the rest just hang around him. of those, he picked 1 to date, and he's tied down forever with another so there's no room for any kind of harem
I jsut don't see how you could compare that to what I consider a harem, something like Nisekoi, where there's at least 4 girls all competing for the boring MC's dick and he refuses to pick one
>>138671014
the epitome of fedora core
>>138671161
why should escapism be the standard for anime and the majority of the content (not to say the film industry doesnt do the same shit)
>>138671227
>only 3 of the girls in the show actually have any kind of romantic
That's enough.
>>138667872
We know we're watching the same shit anon, but we hold out in hopes of there being something great in the pile of shit.

Therein lies your problem, you're delusional
>>138671217
because if you look at regular TV, hardly any of that is original either, you get maybe 1-2 serious, original shows out of every western season.
>>138671276
why would I add that word?
>>138669098
I fucking love this comparison
>>138671161
because people want more serious anime and they then try and force that onto some that are not suppose to be. The fact that there is a lot of moe shit is a problem and humans like changes in tone.
going to what OP said yes and no, its not really the medium but what we have done with it. Everyone sucks Cowboy Bepop's and Ghost in the Shell's dick but they also consume a lot more moe shit.
>>138671257
No particular reason, but if you don't like escapism and only enjoy one or two "serious" anime a season, shouldn't you not spend your free time on a board for anime?
>>138670763
>you don't need yeast. bacteria naturally grows inside the dough to make bread a very complex meal rich in nutrients.
You do realize that the "bacteria" growing inside the dough is actually a wild variant of yeast right?
>>138671265
>ignoring the rest of my post where I mention he is stuck with one for life, dating another, and told the last one "NO" when she mentioned it to him
it's not a harem, no matter how hard you try to force it, it panders a lot, it has a lot of fanservice, just like the source material, but it's not a harem show sorry
>>138670983

>Producer of normalfag movies has pretentious opinions.
As expected.
>>138671442
its either that or a light hearted comedy but all this moe shit is just plain boring
>>138671389
Tell me why, for example, Haiyore Nyaruko-san is harem if it contains all approximately the same elements that you mentioned.
>>138671411
I do, but look at any western station's lineup
>crime drama #300000
>workplace comedy #250
>sitcom #40000000000
most of it is repetitive and rehashed shit, because it's hard to come up with new ideas, which is why you get only a few good shows out of each season even on western TV

Old anime is better
Moe = beauty

>>138667780
Of course he is.
>>138668901
Azumanga Daioh is at the root of moeshit. Not that 90's anime didn't have its own streak of awful in ridiculous bombastic ecchi shows completely devoid of content, or 80s with it's endless robot shows riding gundam's success.
i havent watched any of his anime but i think that guy is a retard
>>138671539
Moe = shit

It's just obvious.

there's a ton of capeshit out that isnt half bad but there are other things too like suits or 11 22 63
>>138671531
Old anime is.. old!
ITT: people use moeshit in probably a dozen different ways that we'll never understand because they don't bother defining their buzzwords before deploying them

shinobu is romantic but he's tied down to her forever

cat asks the MC out in s2, which gets her a resounding "NO"
doll has an obsession with muscles and an autistic lack of boundaries but nothing more
his sisters and him play incest chicken as part of a couple jokes, but that's it
monkey's a lesbian who just wants to get closer to crab and make the MC feel awkward
crab then is the only girl left, and the girl the MC chose to date and be with

it doesn't have to do with how good you think it is
the OP is talking about originality and companies pushing out derivative, pandering shit like capeshit, or the ten millionth CSI show or the newest sitcom from some comedian
which you get maybe 1-2 shows per season that isn't that no matter where you look
why should anime be any different?

what happened to shading?
>>138671775
not gay I just thought it was funny
>>138671531
I'd just like to point out that if half of these (particularly in the SoL/comedy/drama sections) came out today they'd be derided as pandering garbage for having ecchi, or girls, or teenagers as major features.
>>138671588
But moe = beauty. Why are you lying?
>>138671579
>Azumanga Daioh is at the root of moeshit.
I think it's To Heart, a Visual Novel adaption:
>>138671641
I don't even like shows that depend on moe to get attention but in my mind anyone that uses the term moeshit is from /v/, manimefag or any other kind of obnoxious anime "expert"
>>138671829
costs too much money

wouldn't harem shows be the fedora core type of show around?

>>138671775
The show itself is not that gay despite all of the fujoshi with weird fetishes popping out of the woodwork.
>>138671868
I think when he says moeshit he means the 4-girls SoL format. To Heart's a harem.

Just delete all anime that doesn't make a profit, or is very niche (most late night anime)
Return to the 60's and start a new...
Only then anime can be saved.
things I miss in anime
>silence, there's just no silence in modern anime
>shading
>25 minute episodes
>casual nudity
>and I mean nudity not some forced panty shot
>those animation peaks out of nowhere
>old characters
>openings done by girls and not some jap attempting to be HAAAAAAARDCORE (i'm looking at you fear and loathing)
>>138671846
This. Some of them even have tsundere, that makes them trash for pathetic Japanese betas and not superior manly men like myself.
>>138671656
you get it anon, it's up to us to pass it on to others and keep our good values.
>>138670330
I must be Aniracist
because...
THEY ALL LOOK THE FUCKING SAME TO ME.
>>138667780
I am so glad to see that people with good taste still exist in this world. Only we can save anime from the hands of otaku.
>>138671696
The only people who call other "hipsters" are people who have no taste.
Anyone here actually prefer old anime from the 70's and 80's but isn't actually old?
I grew to like Anime with Rose of Versailles, Orginal Dragon Ball, Lupin III and so on and not stuff like Naruto or Death Note.
>>138672101
On the contrary you do not discriminate all the girls. It is worthy of respect.
>>138672145
Like this comment if you're a 90s kid.
Nips are very simplistic with their taste in fiction so all anime are always shallow or pseudo-2deep4me when it actually isn't if you take a moment to understand the creator (That's bad writing BTW).
>>138672211
Liked
>>138672127
why would you post a harem fag with a fedora?
>>138672145
I do. There's just something about the general artstyle of older shows that appeals to me.
>>138672145
Born in the wrong generation, man, everyone else is so immature and doesn't appreciate the classics.
>>138672235
writing ability isnt determined by nationality why would you say something that's so stupid
>>138672318
Culture and influences are heavily influenced by nationality, and that rubs off in the writing.
I think golden era of anime is 00s. Before it's imitation of the West, then it's parasite on himself.
>>138672145
I do, but I think it may be because it tickles my fancy a bit more with a greater variety of exotic locales.
>>138672353
thanks to the internet people have access to much wider arrange of influences so that's not really an issue
>>138672408
Yes it is.
>>138672428
whatever you say
>>138672145
I like old shit too but lol you're such a fucking fruit.
>>138672408
But that goes back to the point that the old fart made: People are spending too much time not looking at real people.
>>138672466
I get the feeling I didn't change your mind.
>>138672235
To be honest, I think what gives off the impression of Japanese writing being "simple" is that the bits of their literature that manage to trickle into the English-speaking market is quite literally intended for children.
>>138672235
Said the anon whose experience of Jap fiction is 90% anime and 10% manga.
>>138670330
I know only Haruhi. Is it good or bad?
>>138672513
What do you do in this thread?
>>138672551
I came to learn what Miyazaki think of the industry
>>138667780
Yeah, a lot of harems, self-inserts, and Mary Sues are as popular as ever. Not to mention that most studios are stuck at the high school mindset, and that everything meaningful and world changing happened during that time. This isn't mention how poor the writing, especially dialogue, anime seems to think is actually acceptable.
>>138672505
We're talking about anime here. I'm referring to that. I don't doubt that there are some good writing there, but japan as a culture is better when focusing on logic and mathematics.
>>138671141
>ping pong
Literally adds nothing of value. Inferior to the manga and even inferior to the live-action. Good job Yuasa.
>>138672013
Yeah
Self-insert harems go back way further than that. "Moe" as a character archetype is applicable to many things all over the place but the neutered inoffensive otakubaiting SoL commonly known as moeshit is a entirely a 21st century phenomenon.
This is contrary to the distorted /v/eddit view of reality where they throw the term at anything with a cute girl, of course.
>>138672513
>Is it good or bad
it's best to come up with your own opinions, anon
>>138671882
Just like old shows a fedora hat is something very uncommon in these days. Something you might thing you was cool for its own time but you wont actually brag about it.
But a fedorafag wears the hat proudly thinking that attaching him self to something something from the past makes him look sophisticated and separates him from the ignorant masses that cant understand how good things used to be. In times and even brags that even though he is "young" he admires the time where man acted like man.
This is exactly the same thing that happens in this thread
>The past was better
>Everything is shit now
>Only we have good taste everyone else is stupid
Just replace the fedora with LOGH and you are done.
>>138672584
That's like watching children's shows, Hollywood blockbusters, and porn and then deciding that America is better-suited to logic and mathematics.
>>138672573
But you should at first make up their minds on this issue.
>>138672637
You know you could avoid all this confusion if you just called it highschool SoL or four-girl SoL or something instead of "moeshit," since that word originated and is largely used as a buzzword for /v/ crossboarders.
>>138672616
I'm not defending Ping Pong there. I think it's of Yuasa's weakest.
>>138672638
If I hadn't watched any other of these anime, I don't know if they are worth watching, therefore I don't know is it good that I limited myself to get to know only Haruhi
>>138672491
but real people are shit, anon.
>>138672584
It's really silly to experience only one slice of their popular culture and then decide that those narrow subjects are the only things they are suited for.
>>138672761
>I don't know if they are worth watching
only person who can answer that is you
>>138672775
you forget your frog picture
>>138667780
I just want anime that isn't obsessed with high school or harems, is that too much to ask for? I'm even willing to resort to watching college students as an improvement.
Legend of Galactic Heroes
The Ultimate Fedoracore Anime
>>138672810
Not if that is the most popular and influencial culture to the masses and children that are going to be the normal people of the country.
>>138667780
Didn't he un-retire again to make a CG movie?
Gaze into the abyss and the abyss will gaze into you.
>>138672654
Is all about attitude. I like old shows but I don't circlejerk about muh taste like this fags.
>>138672857
I dunno man, Lain is a contender for the fedoracore champion's belt. What's worse, the "old and mature" or the "deep and psychological" fag?
>>138672852
> is that too much to ask for?
yes. Yes it is.
>>138672877
>anime
>influential to normal people of the country
I guess One Piece is influential on ten-year-old normal people.
