Why don't anime girls have realistic personalities anymore?
Because that shit doesn't sell.
Because realistic women are garbage.
> anymore
>>140013930
Because people don't care about reality.
They want their girls to be so cliche that the first time a guy is nice to them, they remember it for the rest of their lives. First come first serve because all they care about is their dicks.
They've never even met a girl though, so sadly this is impossible for them still.
I think Miyazaki said this in the interview thing where the "anime was a mistake" meme comes from, but he talked about how the demographic of those who make anime was increasingly getting more asocial/otaku-like, and that their lack of real life interactions comes forth in the anime that they make, too.
>>140014018
Go watch Tenchi OVA 1 and tell me their personalities are dry and two dimensional. Because they weren't. The creator acknowledged this even as a fault, citing the women had 'too powerful and realistic personalities' and should be dumbed down. Guess where the industry in general went.
>wanting girls with real personalities
3D cuck pls
>>140014203
You're wrong, he said they were too powerful and unrealistic, he didn't believe any real woman could be like that. Watch that video again m8
Because you only watch shitty anime for manchildren and ADHD wannabe anime critics who unironically think people like Hiroyuki Imaishi or Tetsuro Araki have creative and interesting minds
Fucktarded whore is a realistic personality nowadays.
>>140014203
Thank god Tenchi in Tokyo turned out alright.
The men don't have realistic personalities either, especially in the high school harem genre where girls literally throw themselves at the MC and he just gets terrified instead of fucking them.
>>140014596
He said "there are no strong female personalities in real life"

Maybe you should watch the video again, m8
because those are what /a/ calls boring
>>140013930
The people who create anime don't interact with real women and the audience isn't interested in them. Take Shirobako for example.
>all the men are realistic and probably based on real people in the industry
>they're often annoying, disagreeable, rude, lame, etc (in a likable way mostly)
>often get into conflicts and have issues with their work ethic
>realistically old, fat, ugly and nerdy
As a result they're interesting, engaging characters that feel real. Meanwhile
>all the girls are young, cute, thin and well dressed
>endlessly helpful, supportive and kind to others
>perfect work ethic and always try their hardest
Female characters are so often bland and boring because making them palatable for otaku takes priority. They have to have their personalities watered down to ensure they never say or do anything that might make them less cute.
>>140014706
That means he thought they were unrealistic anon.
>>140014888
That's just your spin on it, but his statement is pretty fucking objective. I can't see how you could misinterpret what he said.
I mean just look at OVA 3 and Ai, it literally turned into this >>140014806
There's also the thing that people have subdued personalities in Japan. It's a land where speaking out is frowned upon, and having sharp opinions is a little disgraceful. Ryoko there is described as having an "American" or "western" personality. People like her just do not exist in Japan.
>>140013930
Sailor Moon kinda counts
I'd say girls in Konosuba are realistically silly and egoistic
>>140014955
>while being asked by fans who loved the strong personalities of the girls, and how it made them feel real. Kajishima said he altered their personalities for balance after OVA 1 because there are no strong female personalities like that in real life
I don't understand how your interpreting it. He said they were too unrealistic in the first OVA and decided to change it because he didn't believe woman could be that strong.
>>140015068
They sure love to write aggressive, outspoken men though. I can't imagine girls are always being surrounded and persistently harassed by punks over there considering how beta the men are, but it's always happening in anime.
>>140015213
Well the protagonists are usually beta whose main schtick is giving tsukkomi commentaries about other characters and being right. Other men are usually some sort of role stereotypes like "mentor" "friend" or "rival".
>>140015167
>because he didn't believe woman could be that strong
Of course he doesn't, see >>140015068
Doesn't change the fact he's objectively wrong.
>>140015213
Return of the Yankee when?
>>140013930
Because anime in general has turned to shit that just panders to people with incredibly weak hearts and personalities.
>>140014806
Most of the assistants were around the same age though. Also the Director was best girl.
>>140013930
the real question is
Why don't real girls have good personalities anymore?
>>140013930
>ryoko
>realistic
>>140015327
Who cares? I wasn't arguing about what's "objectively wrong" I was going on about what he actually said. I was arguing about " The creator acknowledged this even as a fault, citing the women had 'too powerful and realistic personalities" and how that statement was wrong and how he actually said he thought they were unrealistic. Quit trying to change the subject.
>>140015536
Realistic in the sense she was very flawed
>>140015367
That's because there are no PAs above 30. They either leave the industry or get promoted.
I thought Kumiko was pretty good, even though she was still anime-ish at times.
I'm sure /r9k/ and /pol/ would be less triggered if you had phrased it as "more interesting" personalities instead of "realistic"
>>140015853
Okay sure, let's go with that then.
/a/, why don't anime girls have "more interesting" personalities anymore?
>>140016026
Cause otaku don't like them. They just want copy-pasted moe archtypes over and over.
>>140013930
>There will never be a fun and great character like Ryoko or the Tenchi girls again
Fucking A, man. 90's anime characters really were the best.
>>140017085
Hows the view with those rose tinted nostalgia glasses?
>>140013930
>Muh strong indeoendent womyn that needs no man
Yea no
>>140017145
Ryoko wanted Tenchi really bad tho, literally the only reason for her to live.
>>140014659I liked Tenchi in Tokyo.
>>140017100
They are pretty clear to me, moefag
>>140013930
>anymore
>>140013930
Because you don't watch enough anime.
>>140013930
>>140017259
Kirino is the only character with "realistic" traits in this shit. Kuroneko's attraction to Kyousuke and "I'll pretend we're dating so imouto realizes she loves him" behavior is plain retarded.
>>140017340
To be fair, they all were teenagers so their actions not necessarily need to make sense, if you add that Kuroneko was a delusional chunni, you could understand why she did what she did.
>>140016026
Because they never did and you are wearing nostalgia glasses for things like OVA's that were cheery picked.
>>140013930
Because the strength of animation is in not being limited by reality.
>>140017414
They do not make sense as a human behaviour. You need to be really insane teenage girl to ditch your boyfriend for the sake of other teenage girl and then cry about it later.
>>140017145
That's not Ryoko personality at all
>>140017520
>You need to be really insane teenage girl
Exactly, also she didn't exactly did it for her friend, she did it for herself and her own delusions, she wanted to create a "perfect world" where the three of them could be together without taking in consideration their feelings just to "set ground" for the future, so much for delusions, her whole plan backfire at the end.
>>140017340
MANAMI WAS RIGHT
>>140017145
It's not bad when it's done right. Thank god Japan isn't influenced by third wave feminism.
>>140017900
Japan is a very beta culture for both genders
Better question is what happened to anime women
They're moeshit by and large now
>>140013930
If I wanted to experience realistic characters with personalities I would read some books. In the meanwhile, I will stick to my moeblobs thanks.
being a 1 dimension typecast is pretty realistic
Good. I don't watch anime to be reminded how shitty reality is.
Keep the 3D shit in the 3D world.
>>140017900
Western feminism is an intentionally socially corrosive force.
It's neat to see Japan have >strong female characters without having them insidiously compete with and try to undermine men.
>>140018064
Except if you're an old man.
Japan seems like the greatest place for old men wanting to grope/fuck young women.
Otaku can be xenophobic betas knowing they'll get it when they turn 65.
>>140015327
Aaand you became a butthurt monkey
>>140013930
>Expecting men to write interesting female characters as if they have any experience interacting with women let alone being women.
found the flaw in your logic with my carefully constructed strawman
