What happened?
Will we ever go back? CAN we go back?
Er I like AT's art. It's interesting.
Just because it's a different style doesn't mean it's bad. Actually that kind of means it's good.
If you want fugly art look at latest Spongebob, Family Guy etc.

There's NOTHING "interesting" about AT's style except for it being interesting how this shit became the current benchmark for cartoon quality.

>>79147950
I mean it this time, go back to tumblr.
>>79147792
I don't see how this is a fair comparison, adventure time characters seldom ever stick to that same face. besides it's not like every show in 92 had Ren and Stimpy style facial expressions, it came out at the same time as Rugrats and Doug, and those shows didn't get that out there with the faces.
I'd love to answer this better but I'm lit.
I remember reading an expose in an animation magazine on R&S and the environment in which it created and existed before John K. was shit canned.
Apparently John K. was very difficult to work with also very interested in pushing the envelope with the censors whenever possible. Nickelodeon hated the gross-out humor, the extreme violence of Ren toward Stimpy in the early episodes, and any references to Ren and Stimpy being homosexual that John K. and the rest of the Spumco! team loved to insert into Ren and Stimpy while it was still under their control.
Nickelodeon fired John K. from the company he helped build and the show he created, hiring R&S director Bob Camp to be showrunner. The show ran for several more seasons under the watchful eyes of executives who ensured the most marketable product. The John K. episodes were eventually brought out of syndication, so there are plenty of kids who never even got to watch the show as intended.
>>79147792
Honestly the biggest thing to me is that R&S was hand drawn well most modern stuff just doesn't need to be, it should allow for easier creation of more complex facial expressions as you can modify and change assets more easily.
But the change over from hand drawn to digital takes time, I honestly don't know if AT is done Digitally or hand drawn.

A little bit of polish and this fucker I whipped up would be right at home in Adventure Time. I mean, I like the show well enough, but the art is shit.
Overdrawing =/= Good.
We were duped by John K for years because he made good art but couldn't write and never was funny.
Modern cartoons have decent writing at the expense of shitty art.
We'll get the middle ground and enjoy cartoons we deserve.

>If you want top notch animation
Depends on the anime, while they put a lot of effort in detail they usually do a shit job on the actual animation itself, you usually get scenes where the weight of the movement is completely wrong or they're just kind of stiff. Usually the expressiveness comes from the chibi look. But again that's not true for all anime just the majority.
Old school American animation is more free form and as a result as allowed for a lot more expressive scenes that don't deal with characters causing my ears to bleed like in your favorite anime. There's a lot of humor in the exaggeration of movement. It's a shame that cartoons in general have kind of lost this trait, but every once in a while something comes around that kind of brings it back, western or eastern.
Though honestly everything is animated in Korea these days.
>>79149029
Isn't Superjail animated in the US?

Yeah titmouse is a western studio. The quality is a mix bag, you either get a lot of tweening (Metalocalypse) or very low quailty drawings but high quality motion (Super Jail).

Art, maybe. But not animation. Japanese TV animation is notoriously shit. There's a reason why a lot of American animators and cartoonists hate anime and think it's detrimental to the art form. The animation is very basic, there are tons of stills, and the scenes that are animated decently are often drawn more basically than the rest of the show. The actually well-animated "Sakuga" bits last for maybe five seconds tops, but anime fans cum all over them because they're the closest that anime comes to classic western animation.
The only thing they do somewhat better is depicting weight and physical properties in action scenes, and that's only on some occasions.

2D animation has seen better days in the west but it would be foolish to ignore the past achievements of the great western animators. These days anime is the only way for me to get a regular fix of good animation though. Sure, there's a lot of "downtime" in the animation but the payoff is worthwhile when resources are saved up for special scenes. On the other hand, contemporary western cartoons are more "animated", but the animation is merely functional at best save for the rare outlier. There's very little impressive 2D animation in modern western cartoons, which is a shame.

Someone explain.
How is Ren & Stimpy related to Adventure Time?
>>79150975
It's actually closer to thirty seconds on average, and it's worth having some animation downtime if that means allowing for some great scenes later. I'd take that over consistent mediocrity with no room for animator freedom.
>>79150756
Do.... Do you think that Dragonball Super is the typical animation in Japanese TV anime?
Because it definitely is not. Even other Japanese animators have shat on that.
>>79151087

>>79151048
Well you see, expressive ugly faces from a guy who missed every deadline is better for the industry than a show that consistently delivers on time and is enjoyed by a wider audience.
Bud it's simply a different art style. The issue is when it becomes the norm to have dot eyes. I think for adventure time, the art was fitting. Obviously it wouldn't for for ren and stimpy as they are different shows.
>>79151133
Deadlines have nothing to do with this bud. More expressive doesn't always been better, and I believe the art worked well for adventure time.
>>79151048
J.K. want every episode of ren and stimpy to have unique and expressive faces. AT is just thumbler shit.
>>79149067
And? Just because it's easy to replicate doesn't mean it's bad. It's all about how visually appealing something is.
>>79151149
You misunderstand me. I'm criticizing people who hold up Adventure Time as the death of animation based solely on the character designs.
The gag behind Ren & Stimpy was the ugliness and everything about the humor served to show intricate close ups. Anything longer than a 5 minute gag was drawn out endlessly and no amount of Ren making goofy faces could save those low points.
Adventure Time isn't that. The characters are simplistic stick figures but there's more detail and imagination in a random background or side character than most shows.
I also wish people would stop bringing anime into the argument. You want anime quality? Then push for armies of artists paid less than minimum wage working 16 hour days.

This is why I like anime studios like GAINAX. They tend to go more over-the-top with their animation than most other anime studios (FLCL, Panty and Stocking, Gurren Lagann, Eva, etc.)
GAINAX even visited Pixar Studios at one point. Here's a sketch Bobby Rubio of Pixar did for Gainax's charity book.

>>79149067
>If you can replicate the style in MS Paint in under a minute, it's bad.
I'd be tempted to say the opposite, actually. That if the visual aspects of your character design & style are so prevalent that they can be reproduced by memory, you're probably doing something right.
It's how good flag design is generally judged, isn't it? That a good flag should be easy to draw for a child.
Sure, maybe cartoons and flags shouldn't be held to the same design standards, but still. My biggest qualm about Adventure Time and the likes isn't the artstyle as much as it is the animation itself.
>>79148561
Problem with those is, they generally are just two of three frames expressions and that's it. Sure, the faces themselves are funny, but I've never seen Adventure Time do a detailed transition between one expression to another, actually - which is one thing that particular sequence in OP's pic of Ren & Stimpy did wonderfully.
It's just kind of like anime - stand still, talk, move to other position, stand still in new position and talk, move to new position, stand still in new position, etc. There's a real lack of real "liveliness" in the way characters move, and how their positions shift from one to another.
Then again, budget constraints.

That courage still is dumb though. He is just same face with his mouth widely opened showing shit on his teeth. Why is that good animation? The show wasn't bad but it was hardly exemplary animation
And although the animation was more fluid than modern times Cow and Chicken and Ren and Stempy are both ugly as hell holy shit.
Gravity falls is probably one of the worst animated shows in modern ties desu. Adventure time and Steven Universe although have a simplistic style are both actually pretty well and interestingly boarded and I'm not sure the right picture is fair.

Weeeeel you see the Ren & Stimpy faces are all from a single scene where Ren is showing a range of emotion and not just "anger".
Your pics show a range of emotion, but they're spaced out throughout an entire season, so it's very watered down compared to R&S.
People misunderstand R&S. They think LOTS OF FACS = FUNNY. But that's not the point. The point is to create expressive characters. Not random weird faces. Genuine expressions that represent the characters' complex emotional state.
>>79150756
By the way "lots of frames" does not equal good animation.
Here's a sequence with tons of frames, but it's jerky as all-hell in its pose-to-pose hard shifts and the general meaninglessness of the girl's facial expression (which is mostly blank) and her hand movements (which are mostly nonsense flailing)

No, because that's a myth/meme/lie. An average dialogue scene uses a mixture of different techniques (including animation) to make the scene look dynamic without having to do too much animation. The basic philosophy of anime animation is also cinematic realism, not the cartoony exaggeration usually found in American animation. So there is relatively little movement just as there would be in a live action movie.
>>79149087
>they usually do a shit job on the actual animation itself
As opposed to what? Anime has the best hand-drawn animation in the world. If that's not good enough for you then I guess you're out of options.
>Old school American animation is more free form.
American animation is actually very limited because it's designed for cartoons. That is, designed for only one kind of animation. It's also designed with a high budget in mind, and doesn't scale well.
>Though honestly everything is animated in Korea these days.
No. As I keep telling people over, over, over and over again: anime production is only partially outsourced to Korea. Don't try to project the problems of American animation onto anime.
>>79150756
>Japanese TV animation is notoriously shit.
>The animation is very basic.
Meme alert.
>There's a reason why a lot of American animators and cartoonists hate anime and think it's detrimental to the art form.
They most likely have the very narrow-minded, retrograde view that animation == cartoons. It would be a bit like if people were still making early silent movies and looking down on someone like Kubrick for being detrimental to cinema.

Animation is a series of drawings. You can't separate the animation from the drawings. The more detailed and high quality the drawings are, the more difficult and time-consuming they are to animate. There are also lots of little details to animation that apologists of Western/American animation are always ignoring or unaware of, like lighting, physical realism and camera work. It's not just about how smooth you can make something look.
Anime also very different goals than American animation. It's not about cartoons and musicals, it's about cinematism. It demands a completely different approach to animation production.
>>79153247
Disney was a particularly big influence after the war. During the war and the years leading up to it, few people were able to see Disney's works due to the political situation. Before that, I'm not sure how important Disney was.
Television anime became the dominant form of animation in Japan during the 70s or so, and there was no room for Disney's extravagances there.
>>79154327
It does save some effort, but it's also a stylistic choice. What you usually see when a character is shot from the side is that the jaw does move.

Either you're trolling, baiting, or genuinely believe what you typed. I'd go with the latter, in that case:
Adventure Time's artstyle is flat and banal, of course there is an artstyle known for being simple and percise, yet compare to that Adventure Time look like a hackenedeye style of that. It's not interesting. It's a cheap, quick-and-dirty, time saving method of sorts that anybody can imitate. It seeped through in shows like We Bare Bears, Steven Universe, Bravest Warriors. Although the creators of those are likely Adventure Time alumni.

N O P E .
You are so unbelievably and incrediably stupid, it's great.
John K., didn't listen to anybody at Nickelodeon; he did what he wanted.
With Ren and Stimpy he deliberately held back and stalled production and went passed the deadline because it were easier for him to insert jokes that did made it pass the radar and all. The reason is, Nick didn't have time to watch the finished episodes prior they aired to tell John K. to remove that or remove this, tone down the humour, etc cetera.
And that, if you want to believe the rumours caused John K. to get fired and Ren and Stimpy canned.

Lol dumbass
This show aired 15 years ago and still looks better than anything on TV right now.
>>79152701
Faggots are always spewing that shit for a reason. It's pretty true.
>>79156421
One Punch Man, animated by Madhouse, is very good.
>>79156631
Most Madhouse productions are good though.
>>79156421
That's because Gainax actually has love or the art of animation.
They pour their heart and soul into every one of their works.

Fuck off back to /a/, filthy KyoAnifag.
>>79156763
What is even the plot to this show?
I've seen bits and pieces on /a/, and all I can gather is that it's about orchestra and melodrama.
>>79156903
Yes yes, great meme. Well done.
>>79156910
It's a drama about a disorganized music club coming together to compete in a national tournament. Not really any different from some live action Japanese movies and TV dramas.
>>79156982
Sounds really boring. What's the appeal?

Here you go then.

You make an interesting point about anime being more cinematic. Often times good direction and editing can compensate for average animation. Like the recent Jojo anime for example, the actual animation isn't that great but the editing is fantastic and the way color changes depending on the tone of the scene gives it a distinctive visual flair.
I wonder when Disney and the like started to transition from their theatre style productions and incorporate more elements of film direction.
These two shows had wildly different animation budgets. I can't imagine adventure time cost much to make before it was popular.

When the americuns have EVER commissioned animation by MADHOUSE.

Rick and Morty and all the ToonBoom animated shows are done in Canada.
The only cartoons animated in the States is South Park, Archer, possibly Moonbeam City (I haven't seen it).
>>79157328
AT takes 8-9 month per episode. Can't be cheap.
>>79157383
Madhouse did two of the segments in The Animatrix, and maybe the animated segment in Kill Bill. I think they've done other stuff too.
>>79157454
even one AT episode cost more than 12 months
>>79157501
Well, the sources on Wikipedia say 8-9 months (which seems to be common for American shows). Have they lengthened the production time since then?
>>79157383
I think they animated some fights in The Boondocks.
Madhouse sucks now though, OPM is an anomaly.
>>79147792
Ren n Stimpy wasn't all that great, to be honest.
>>79157383
Even when they do commission from japanese they NEVER, EVER, let them maintaining their proper character designs, like how Minoru Maeda draws, how Shingo Araki used to draw, like how Michi Himeno actually draws, like how Ikuhara draws, etc.
They Always forced them to draw like americans told them, with their Stylistic Bruce i can draw human brings that dont look like they are not cilinders and tweeks with polygons timm, or worse.
And whayever they got anime directors, its Always the ones who Dont draw like your typical anime aesthethics, like that guy who Drew the only good looking episodes from EVER WB cartoony from the 90s or dweebs who have grotesque artstyle s like that guy who Drew for Adventure Time once who drew the most "abstract" episodes of shin chan, or the choppy shit of gainax and trigger.
Its NEVER the guys who Drew the Cardcaptor Sakura anime, or the 80s magical girl shows, or your sexy 80s waifus or Cream Lemon, etc.
>>79157714
are you a native english speaker?
>>79157714

Or the Descendents of Ozamu Dezaki, or Fujiko F., or the guys who Drew the Saint Tail anime, or the guys behind candy candy, or any of the World Masterpiece Theathre.......
Its NEVER those guys......

>>79157079
Likable and interesting characters who you want to see succeed and fantastic presentation on all fronts. It's as simple as that.
>>79156421
They spent the budget for an entire season on 6 episodes, no wonder the animation is fantastic
>>79154155
That scene was part of a joke. The girl was complaining that because their series was a gag comedy the animation was going to be very limited and those poor animators working in the anime wouldn't be able to show off their talent in order to get a better salary and then would be poor forever. Cue exaggerated animation.
Regular show has some very nice designs and animations.
Aside from the insanity of Gumball it's my favourite designed kid's show.

Regardless of any other opinion you may have of the show, aimed for a very high standard of craftsmanship which Danny Antonucci has a clear dedication to.
You guys probably know this already, but CN is not as good as they were 20 years ago - but not as bad as they were 10 years ago (aka 2006):
>Crossover bumpers in the CGI city were gone
>Shows such as Cow and Chicken, Time Squad, Looney Tunes were removed.
>Jim Samples went senile.
>CN aired the Re-animated movie.
>Saved by the Bell ran on Adult swim for April Fools'.
>Commercials with terrible characters like Fred Fred Burger and Cheese were spammed to appeal to middle schoolers.
>Inuyasha, Teen titans, Justice league unlimited, and other comfy shows ended, severing all ties with the early 00s.
>Last DBZ movie until 2014 aired on television.
>CN really pushed that Ben 10 shit, even though nobody liked it.
>Adult Swim stopped the chill Japan bumpers and replaced them with clips of their characters doing wacky/lolrandom things.
Isn't it sad that 20somethings get nostalgic for the 90s and early 2000s, whereas teens find the mid-late 00s nostalgic? Poor kids.
>>79158651
What the fuck happened to all those shows from the 2000s? There was so much diversity.
>>79158684
2000-2005 had variety, then Jim samples went senile
>>79158339
>Regular show has some very nice designs and animations.
no and no
Shows like Breadwinners, Uncle Grandpa and Pig Goat Banana Cricket still have very expressive drawings and are off model a lot of times
So stop complaining

>>79158227
The point was that "smooth" does not equal "good". I see too many people post "wow that animation is so smooth" as if it's a great compliment, so this is here to show that smoothness is one of the least important factors in animation. Timing is the crucial part.
>>79148561
apparently a lot of those faces (the ones in this pic that he worked on, including the ones from seasons 3 and 4, so the ones from Ocean of Fear aren't his) are by Storyboard Artist Bert Youn, and the staff called them "Bert Youn Specials"
>>79147792
Do you guys remember back when we used to have this discussion daily? It got posted in Adventure Time generals constantly back when the show was still super popular on /co/
>>79148561
That pic you posted pointed out a bigger detriment to AT's lazy style. There are plenty of cartoons out there that don't have to going way off model to make funny faces.

Saying Ren and Stimpy is a good show because of its animation is like saying Avatar was a good movie because of its budget and effects. That show was actually pretty shitty, if you get take off the nostalgia goggles and hop off John K's cock you'll clearly see that.

Why are AT fans obsessed with both cuteness and making story and character themes as fucked up as possible? That's kind of weird to me.
This might give you your fix
>>79160571
Wes Anderson hipsters.
They love childish pedo looking shit with MATURE ADULT themes.
They appreciate ANIMATION, only man-children watch CARTOONS.
People complain a lot about the simplistic designs of AT, and then talk about animation as if theyre the same thing. Fact of the matter is that most of the time, AT moves very well and the animation itself is quite good.
>>79160824
I was with you until pedophilia. I'm not sure where you get that from.
>>79160465
Perfect.
>>79160925
The designs are what get animated. The simpler the designs, the simpler the animation. Even if you do something like three-dimensional camera movement, you're still working with very simple designs that are easy to animate and will never look impressive. But as far as I know AT doesn't even do things like that. It's just "smooth."

Hello Cenk I really like your newschannel on youtube, Your Cologne coverage was particularly great!
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AmhQ6YmYzPY
i'm reminded of this episode of Tiny Toons where Buster, Babs, and Plucky decided to ditch comedy and realize they really suck at it.
Thats what it feel most cartoons are doing now a days: Everything is so out-of-its-element that it's just jarring to see and not just that, alot of the people involve horseshoe these aspects in for the sake of it. Hack writing 101. All under the guise of it being "pretty and colorful"
Why the fuck do you guys even care about the animation? As long as everything else is amazing it makes up for shitty art anyway. Like 12 oz Mouse or ReBoot or South Park or whatever.
>>79161800
because it's sad that toy commercials in the 80's look better than most cartoons on TV right now
>>79154444

>12 oz Mouse
Complete garbage.
>>79161851
That's why they make up the majority of quality threads right?
>>79160925
This. It's the simplified character designs that ALLOW for quality animation without resorting to John K/Tex Avery style distortion.
>>79147792
They realize that little kids only watch cartoon of simple shapes.
>>79162116
Just to be clear, that may be true in the context of American animation only--anime doesn't need to use simple designs.
>>79157154
You know, despite the show's fanbase. I do very well believe it is the best ANIMATED show on right now in America, the animation seems pretty top quality and doesn't seem to have that whole CalArts look. Which kind of makes sense, that gif right there reminds of Ed Edd n Eddy, which Rebeca Sugar worked on.
>>79162019
yeah, but some of that too has to do with DVD transfers and how badly Hasbro and their partners kept masters and only had use Pre-Masters tapes to restore, as a result, LOL Quality http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Rhino_Entertainment

>>79162701
What the fuck do you care? Adventure time has simple but visually appealing designs and animation, it's perfectly good. I know you're offended by the art for some reason, but you and your types should just bugger off.
