More and more people are becoming involved in it. We have more aspiring artists, writers and voice actors. We have more and more cartoons being released in all sorts of formats all around the world. People who love cartoons are making cartoons now.

Sure this means more shit, but the amazing thing about this world is, just like with video games and books and movies, is that you can ignore the shit and just watch what you love. If you honestly can't find new shows to love with all this variety then you don't like cartoons. Plain and simple.

I don't have a problem with the animation, but why do all these shows artstyles just look so rounded and soft? Something about it is just so off putting to how cartoons just started looking the same around this time.
>>
>>77820051
It's just a style. Cartoons fade in and out of it. Just like how cartoons in the 80s and early 90s had a more stylish, anime-esque quality, and cartoons in the late 90s and 00s had a very dirty and slobby look. It'll pass in time to something else.

I am stating that it will get a cancerous fanbase, not that I want it.

With the lack of new cartoons, I feel that it will attract a new fanbase left from other shows that were cancelled, are on hiatus or ended. It will be the new normie-friendly show.

Saddly we just don't have other new shows that could gatter a massive fanbase in the near future.

We are much better on animation and writting than the 50's, 60's, 70's, 80's besides some gems, like old Looney Tunes.

>>77820029
THE golden age was the 40s to the 50s, original Looney Toons, early Disney shorts, Tom and Jerry, Woody Woodpecker, Droopy.
The 90s. Animaniacs, Gargoyles (better at muh lore than anything nowadays), BTAS, Samurai Jack, Dexters Lab, PPG, Futurama, etc. all the way to the early 00s with JLU, Duck Dodgers, Megas XLR.

Right now we have some jewels but we're mostly in a mediocre era. You can point a couple of jewels lost on that sea of bland (GF, the early seasons of the show that must not be named, Symbionic Titan, Motorcity, Tron, Batman Brave and the Bold, Mistery Inc, maybe SU if it delivers on what it's setting up), but so can the eighties(Thundercats, He-man, GI Joe, Silverhawks, Bionic Six) and even the 50s/60s/70s, generally considered the dark ages had a few good ones (og Scooby Doo, Atom Ant, Flintstones, Peanuts TV specials)
>>
If you hate the current state of animation so much why don't you get into the industry yourself and make it better.

Before all the autists start crying this isn't about deflecting criticism. It's a legitimate question.

>>77820399
The problem was the mid-2000's when all the networks went stupid for a couple years. The industry got set back a while so things aren't as good quality wise.
>>
>>77820345
50s and 60s animation can be pretty cool, though. Since it was handdrawn, it was a lot more fluid.
Not /co/ related, but the first Astro Boy anime still looks aesthetically pleasing to me.

For the uninformed


>What is a "Tumblr" cartoon?

-amateurish art direction, usually looking like flat notebook doodles and tries to hard to pass off the lack of skill as "charming" (AT, RS, Sanjay and Craig, Breadwinners, Gravity Falls, OtGW, Long Live the Royals, Bee and Puppycat, Bravest Warriors, Star and the Forces of Evil, Clarence)
-attempts at idiosyncratic and "natural" dialogue that ends up sounding robotic. Usually has a lot of modern or made-up slang. "Man, this day was total butt. We needs to go get out munchichies on, ya' know what I'm saying?" (AT, RS, GF, Steven Universe, SaC, BW, CH, OtGW, Star)
-a romance plot that's taken seriously and is also the plot of a lot of episodes. The male is a beta wimp and the girl is a "laid-back" character (AT, RS, SU, GF, SaC, BWarriors, BaP).
-a lot music, usually either a freestyle serenade or pixeltune shit (AT, RS, GF, Clarence, SU, SaC, BW, CH, BWarriors, Manly, Star)
-voice actors that sound like they picked random people from the street (all of them)
-fake 80s montages (RS, SaC, BW, Star, SU)
-limited amount of expressions, most of them being ":-T" (all of them)

But a "tumblr" cartoon will always just be something with a trace of progression or female lead or something that people dislike and brand to make other people stay away.

It's the few autistic SU fans that browse this board going in full sperg mode. Notice that, out of all the accused cartoon, only SU is being defended with piss-poor arguments and memes.

SU is the new MLP, no matter how much autismos shitpost about the contrary.

Considering that they have a 10 minute time slot, I think SU is doing a great job of introducing lore without shoving it in your face.

It's still foremost a fun cartoon, the subtle lore is just the cherry on top. I like how they don't make EVERY episode center around an overarching plot and that they can still have fun episodes.

Gotta remember Anon: entertainment is about "plot". Narrative, if you want to be specific. It's what keeps us interested and entertained.
When I was a child, I accepted things like "never ending struggles" of GI Joe and Cobra or He-Man and Skeletor. I accepted that there would be lessons learned from each episode, that would be forgotten by the next show, and gadgets or weapons or tools would all be discarded and forgotten.

But now, I'm an adult... I kinda want there to be consequences for the actions of characters. I want the doodad from episode 1 that appeared forgotten and discarded to show up in the season finale. I want people to admit they've behaved badly, and actually try to behave better in future episodes. I want less clunky exposition, more discovery.

Steven Universe would have been a great fucking adultswim show though. Why don't we have any mature fantasy adventure cartoons anymore? I want them to FULLY explore gem corruption and death. It even looked like a Adult Swim show when it aired.

The animation isn't so disgusting that it's unwatchable. It has pretty much grown on me anyways, it makes the show more comical and cute. I'm sure Rebecca is disappointed with the art direction though too.

shows today are all made by creators that grew up with anime, no one remembers anime for their animation, which wasn't special anyway, but the adentures, the stories, the magical girls etc.

There is just no need for good animation these days, why waste money on something no one would care about

The 80s & 90s called.
>>
>>77821779
I wouldn't be so sure of that. The current style matches the style of the backgrounds MUCH better. And even if she's not happy with that, I'm sure she recognizes that the simpler lines and forms make the movement look cleaner as well as easier for the Koreans to in-between.

Rebecca didn't originally want SU to look like it does now. She had to simplify it so that multiple artists could work on the show at once. She's probably okay with it now, but it wasn't close to her original idea.

so artists in the animation industry are just terrible at drawing
>>
>>77821792
it's funny because in the 2000s, creators who no grew up with anime stuff try hard to be cool with "japanised" artstyle on western cartoon

and now we have just some rounds, cute, fat, colored style with annoying shipping, references to video games and bashing about 80s things "Lulz Mullet haircut is so uncool"

"I wanted to make the characters more specific, simpler, and more flexible, so different artists could draw them different ways and they would still look like themselves!"

I find it EXTREMELY hard to believe she completely changed her art style because she wanted to. She obviously needed to because it was too complicated for other artists to draw.
