When people prefer older cartoons they usually mean late 80s - early-mid 90s with shows like Batman the animated series or Duck Tales or Animaniacs.
Or yeah -Ren and Stimpy because even if it was a meme show of that time the amount of quality and hard work that was put into that tops your meme shows like Pee and Buppycat or whatever trendy shit you filthy millenial watch.

They aren't cartoons, and there are many, many people who take them seriously. American filmmakers for example have borrowed from anime.

It wasn't rotoscoped, it was animated by Shinji Hashimoto.

There are animators who are very good at realism to the point that some people think it's rotoscoping.

>>83896212

>>
>>83896281

If by "telling them apart" you mean they have different colors, sure.

Otherwise they are just the same thing pasted over and over again with a different paint coat. Take the faces and remove color, can you tell them apart? If the answer is no then that's sameface syndrome.

These are all incredibly superficial traits and any half decent character designer knows it's a terrible idea to rely on these things to make characters distinguishable.

Hair styles can be covered or changed, and designs should be able to stand on their own without needing color to distinguish characters. If you're unable to tell characters apart without those things, then they aren't good designs.

>subtle differences in the construction of their eyes and faces

Yeah, bullshit. Only one of those characters appears to have an intentionally different jawline. The rest only have the most miniscule differences that are only obvious if you're actively looking for them, and even then only appear to be the result of poor rendering considering the laughable amount of wall eyes and broken anatomy.

>>
>>83896394

>Different hair styles

Not really, there's only 4 haircuts truly different from each other in that pic, others being slight variations of those 4

Look at the redhead and the third girl from the right, the only difference in the hair is a slight curve and two small hair locks, two girls on the far right have the exact same haircut.

>different hair colors, different eye colors

And? Same face is exactly that, characters that are simply a different dress up and color but otherwise the same.

>differences in the construction of their eyes and faces

There's really no difference in their eyes or facial structure at all. And please don't pretend a character's eyes being 2 millimeters more apart than the other character's is a complete distinguishable and differentiating feature.

The problem is that your characters aren't unique at all. Seems like (not saying there isn't some imaginative jap stuff) the gook idea of "character design" is basically going into newgrounds and using one of the many "make your own character" flash games. It's the same model used again and again.

Why bring up the subject if you don't want to talk about it?

>>83896757
Generic isn't a real word and doesn't mean anything.

>do little to inform on what their personalities are like
I remember someone in an earlier thread said this about Touhou characters, and when I explained how the designs clearly reflect very basic facts about the characters (e.g. a miko is dressed like a miko) he stopped replying.

Strike Witches' designs are not as straightfoward, but designs don't always communicate things about a character, and there's no reason to start going out of your way to come up with some way of doing so as if you're trying to pass a government inspection or something. It doesn't say anywhere that a design absolutely must immediately and clearly communicate some special quality of the character.

Even so, their uniforms suggest their nationality, and there are some other hints like Perinne having long blonde hair which suggests her European aristocratic background. The glasses imply intelligence and sophistication. Miyafuji looks basically what protagonists often look like in these all-girl ensembles and her clothes are very representative of Japan and the fact that she is a naval officer. Charlotte has red hair which suggests her brash personality. Francesca's twintails are maybe a little childish, which fits her.

>Seems like (not saying there isn't some imaginative jap stuff) the gook idea of "character design" is basically going into newgrounds and using one of the many "make your own character" flash games. It's the same model used again and again.
No, it isn't. The Japanese are extremely adept at character design. You also don't understand that anime is fundamentally completely different from cartoons because it's more or less realistic, so you can't have the same kind of wild variation in designs. Anime character design is more about fashion and style.

Also if you're going to use racial slurs why can't you at least use the right one?

I also recall you not replying to the someone else who pointed out that an occupation is not a personality trait. If the only things you can describe about these characters in is there appearances, occupations, or role in the story, then it doesn't sound like there was much character there to begin with.

>designs don't always communicate things about a character, and there's no reason to start going out of your way to come up with some way of doing so

Considering animation is very much a visual medium, it's retarded to dismiss how much appearances play a role. Subtle differences in things like face shapes and body types can convey a lot about a character that allow audiences to get a better feel for them, even if they aren't always conscious of it. Hell, having and understanding of viewers read into design choices allows designers to play around with cliches and design conventions and/or subvert expectations.

Your examples do none of that. They look like every dime-a-dozen anime girl ensemble I've ever seen, and there's little there to catch my interest as a result. Hell, even you called the main character "basic," and the fact that you can't name more than one superficial trait for the entire cast says a lot in how flat they as characters.

It doesn't say anywhere that an aspect of a character design must convey an aspect of personality rather than the character's role. You are just pulling arbitrary rules from a hat.

>If the only things you can describe about these characters in is there appearances, occupations, or role in the story, then it doesn't sound like there was much character there to begin with.
Did you know that characters are not just their design, but also their writing (and voice acting if applicable)?

>Considering animation is very much a visual medium, it's retarded to dismiss how much appearances play a role.
Nobody is dismissing appearances just because anime doesn't conform to cartoon character design principles.

>They look like every dime-a-dozen anime girl ensemble I've ever seen
They don't. They have distinct designs.

>Hell, even you called the main character "basic," and the fact that you can't name more than one superficial trait for the entire cast says a lot in how flat they as characters.
Once again: writing is a thing. Anime is not cartoons.

Anime characters are stylized versions of real people. The stories almost always take place in realistic settings, and the story and setting can impose constraints on the character designs or lead them in certain directions. For example Joker Game's character all wear suits and have short hair, because it's a serious, realistic story about spies set around World War II. The characters of Hidamari Sketch wear school uniforms because they go to school, and it's a realistic setting so there are limits to the designs. The characters of Strike Witches have basically realistic clothes that more or less reflect where they're from, except for the fact that they don't wear pants (which is because of an in-universe reason). The setting is basically real (alternate history Europe).

Anime character design, again, is about fashion and style more than anything else. It's not cartoon character design.

They can't wear anything more than tights because otherwise they can't interface with their engines (Strikes Units), or can't interface well enough. And yes it is just an excuse to not have them wear pants.

The Japanese don't all look the same, and anime characters have features like purple hair and green eyes which the Japanese do not have.
