Why is animation so damn inspiring? It's like, shit, at times I don't even realize I'm looking at cartoons, the performances are just so seamless. A short little pencil test is more impressive to me than something like Space Odyssey or Hugo. Why would I rather stare at sketchy pencil work or flat colors than reality?

Maybe this sounds retarded, but something I've never understood is how when someone spends tons of time painting or drawing a single picture, people take it very seriously, but as soon as you draw too many pictures and place them one after another and play them back very fast, suddenly it's juvenile and impossible to take seriously.

I'm not trying to say every flipbook drawing should be compared to the mona lisa, but there is some incredible artistry in animation. Single frames can look absolutely gorgeous, but as soon as you put it with a bunch of other frames the majority of people's brains shut off and go "hurr durr cartoons are for kids"

your brain filters cues from the environment and compares them via association to ones in your memory, most of what we usually get is noise whereas cartoons exaggerate the relevant bits and produce mostly signal

this is why kids have an easier time parsing information from them and why people who are well shall we say not social butterflies by nature tend to gravitate towards waifus rather than fetishising movie stars and super models like the rest

Considering it was done by a different studio which did all the other sequels which had shit animation, this one was pretty good. Hell, I liked the animation more than the original. It was just more colourful and more fluid, and that CGI flight scene. I still remember seeing it in the cinema back then because mc donalds were giving out tickets with happy meals.
>>
>>83566579

Think about it. If you are unable to find inspiration in anything, all it means is that you don't think outside your little comfort zone very often.

It's not that I'm a particularly negative person, I just feel more comfortable in a negative environment at this point.
To be fair, I actually did a lot of animation growing up an was involved in several communities dedicated to the subject.

It'd probably take a few years yeah.
If you worked on it constantly like it was your day job then you could maybe pull it off in a year or so.
But then you run the risk of burning yourself out.
I'd so go for it as a hobby.

I remember I did a bunch of stop motion shit with Legos and clay at an after school program for like a year or two.
It was fun as fuck and got me into animation.
Haven't done anything since, but might pick it up again when I improve my drawing skills.

You need to seriously re-calibrate your standards if you think that's mind-blowing 10/10 GOAT professional animation.

This is amateur or independent animation from Japan:

It's professional quality animation produced by amateur or independent animators.

They are both based on Touhou, an independent game series that's been produced by one guy since the 90s. There's nothing generic about his character designs.

>There's nothing original or unique about it.
Originality does not equal quality, and a lack of originality does not equal a lack of quality.

It's a shame one of the few shows that actually cares if the ANIMATION is good in an ANIMATED SERIES is ending. I mean, I like all cartoons from Clarence to Steven to Star and Mike Tyson. But none of these shows really do anything with their animation. Even with Steven's board rules of going off model and having lots of exaggerated faces, the animation itself kind of butchers it and it usually feels like they're simply moving from Point A to Point B rather than making the in-between journey fun to watch. Does this dumb spiel make sense to anyone?
>>
>>83572815
To tell it short most animated series from 60s to today are missing the point of animation.
>>
>>83572957
Yeah, basically. And I don't expect everything to move like Disney. I understand TV budgets. Like, Mike Tyson and Venture Brothers work for what they got, and that's great, especially since their designs are much more complicated.

South Park, Aqua Teen, and Space Ghost are funny because of their limited animation. King of the Hill is suppose to reflect reality and does a really good job at that.

But something like We Bare Bears should have fantastic stretch n squash animation but instead, the characters are ALWAYS on-model and sterile and flat. So what's the excuse there? Why CAN'T those shows have some fun with their animation? Why did shows like Billy & Mandy or Spongebob get so stiff in later seasons? Spongebob was already low-budget. Just keep it fun.

There's something really interesting about the keyframe process that only animation can do. Like, it's an incomplete scene, it's not even in motion, it's just the "idea", but you can see it, and you WANT to see it finished. Seeing the work process of animation is cool, sometimes.

There is nothing limited about anime. If you're using nothing but half-shots of samey-looking girls, still but for a looping wind animation in their hair, that's YOUR fault and not the medium's.

The animation style of anime is called "limited animation," as opposed to the "full animation" associated with Disney for example. Nausicaä is no exception.

>There's maybe four seconds of actual fluid motions in those vids of yours combined.
The Memories of Phantasm one has a lot more than that, so you're just making things up here (which is very typical when people are trying to attack anime). The Summer Day's Dream one doesn't have that much, but the brief fight scene has good animation and the production values are excellent (I was not talking about just raw animation, because animation doesn't exist in a vacuum).

Touhou's characters are also hardly "samey looking." You're just regurgitating a common meme without bothering to see if it actually makes any sense.
