>Mecha is mostly CG now

Is there even a point in watching Mecha anymore? This shit killed the genre and it hurts because I enjoy watching Mecha along with other types of Anime. Sometimes I have that robot itch I need to scratch.

Not really defending anything. I asked you to elaborate on your claim that CG killed the mecha genre, you gave a vague non-answer that made you look like a whiny bitch.

Trolls trying to start flamewars since 2010 onwards over every little thing for attention and newfag memelords who try way too hard to fit in and are stupid enough to believe the trolls instead of thinking for themselves.

Anyone who legitimately likes mecha has probably seen at least 100+ various mecha/sci-fi shows across multiple genres and knows art style isn't the end all of everything. 3DCG is just another means to an end and it's been used as early as the late 90's to varying degrees of effect.

Coporate meddling/production staff issues, bad writing/brain drain and rampant outsourcing have more to do with most problems than anything.

There's sort of no point arguing with people who unconditionally hate CG, because either literally nothing is ever good enough, or they shift the goalposts whenever you actually meet their lofty standards.

And they rarely present an argument other than "because i said so". You should put less effort into whining about CG and more into complaining about bad action direction and choreography which is where the real problem lies.

There's a rather suspicious amount of people "proving" something's inherent superiority by posting high-budget OVAs against medium to low budget TV series. Shading, CG, lineart quality, digital vs cel, it's used for everything.

These days I tend to appreciate an actual fight happening rather than one object or character being animated at a time.
>>
>>13646203
Yeah sorta. But mostly in action scenes and by not using 3d with 2d.
>>
Mecha actually benefited the most from CG, more than flesh characters. So they can stay true to lineart (especially when said lineart is made from CG model), and consistent animation. Then said CG model can also be used for animation-accurate toys and plastic models.
Now if you mention 'charms' and 'quirks' of off-model animation, then it's a matter of personal subject. Yes, gendum is funny and all but not something worth preserved and halting the advances in animation.
>>
>>13646202
But if I do you'll say it doesn't count, and then not provide a reason other than "because i said so".

I like 2d better but blindly hating CG is stupid.

You do know the animators still draw it on paper, right? And then instead of drawing over it with ink and paint they ink and colour it by hand on a computer because it's faster and cheaper.

Do you think 2d animation is drawn with a mouse or something?

3d or 2d, I'm going to respect the one that can give me an action scene with two or more people or objects on screen at the same time that gives me a fight that isn't cutting away to people talking or reacting to avoiding showing the fucking fight after three seconds of actual animation because you don't have the budget for anything more than that.

You know, like 95% of anime because their scheduling and budgeting system makes their animators overworked, underpaid, and with not nearly as much time as they need.

I can never tell if these quote threads are legit or not, but he's horribly wrong if he thinks that mecha pilots boast about winning.

Soldiers fly jets and drive tanks that they didn't build either.

If you'd do that, you'd not be a mecha fan either.

A true mecha fan loves the genre in any form as long as it's good, regardless of it being Old, New, 2D, CGI, movie, game, book, or manga.

Bollocks, they have an airship. It's mecha, by a very liberal definition.

Also, if you give out of place and somewhat ugly 3dcg a pass in non-mecha, nobody is gonna take you seriously if you rage about CG in mecha, which is on the bleeding age of improving the technology.

You know, for as shit series as it was, I really liked the CG in Buddy Complex. The biggest problem with CG in anime is that it typically runs at the full 24 frames per second, when the hand-drawn animation does not. Buddy Complex slowed down their CG and it almost seemed to match the fps of 2D animation. While not perfect, I thought it was really well done.

>>13646659
It's not half as good as the first season. The animation actually seems worse, and the story isn't nearly as interesting. So, yeah, if you really really really liked the setting and the idea behind the Kings and the powers and shit, it's worth it, but don't expect it to be very good.

It's not just time and money, it's that the animators of today aren't being taught anything new. They do everything working off of the lessons of the past, and that works for 2D, not so much for 3D. They need the west to teach them how to animate properly in 3D, because we figured that shit out in like the 90s, and we've only gotten better since then.

Keep in mind I'm referring purely to animators in anime. The videogame industry in Japan has been doing good 3D animation for a long time.

Not OP but I'll stop arguing when a 3D anime movie or OVA looks as good as 0083, DYRL and Venus Wars.

I'm not talking about series, I'm talking about a studios going all out with their animation prowess.
For example I think PacRim looked fantastic because they were able to hide their flaws with rain and night and played up their positive points up to 11.
However PacRim has a budget no jap studio can afford.
As it stands right now in Japan, the best of 2D> the best of 3D.
That's really it, I don't care about comparing shit shows like Daishogun and early Gonzo stuff.

At this point I can't tell if the thread author is trying to troll or if he is genuinely distressed that animation are getting smoother and more complex than in the past.

>>13646257
This problem come from how early 3D tried to imitate aspects that came from handdraw cells limitation (you know, still frames sliding, loop sword clash) when they don't have to.
Now they are starting to animate in way that only CG and 3D animation can do. It was near impossible to do a 360° traveling with hand drawn cells, and the only way to improve framerate was to drawn more transitional frames, meaning bigger budget.
And since every frame was costly directors simply didn't put details in transitional frames that last less than a second.

Digital drawing and 3D can do everything traditional animation could, and cheaply. We just have to wait and we will have a Shōji Kawamori, Mamoru Oshii or Hayao Miyazaki of 3D animations (and hopefully no Shirow Masamune 3D horse dick)

I fully expect fake grains filter or 7 tones shading macros to appear someday
>>
I think the only legitimate concern with cg is that it might discourage anyone from ever using 2d animation again. People will become used to cost effective 3d animation and the complexity it can provide. Nobody will spend the time or money necessary to make a decent 2d animation. If people forget 2d or hate it entirely, there won't be anyone to sell this to either.

The thing that tends to irk me the most is it often feels like a lot of the detractors of CGI don't want it to get better, they just want it to be gone. As if it shouldn't get better.

I'm not saying every show should become a Pixar movie, though if they had that level of quality we wouldn't even be having this discussion. I just think that the technique just needs to get better, because right now it's stuck in a rut. I don't want it to go away, I want it to improve so we can eventually move past this era of shit CGI. The other sentiment just feels like a resurgence of luddism.

They could just use CG with filters to make it not stick out and use it for backgrounds, because drawing revolving backgrounds is resource heavy. If they need it to save money in those shots, then they can try it (though drawing it all would be better), 3DCG for moving characters and mechs serves no purpose at all because it costs more than drawing, and it just looks like garbage because they will literally never have the personality that a good hand drawn cut will. Why would you want that garbage to evolve and displace hand drawn instead of putting that money into paying talented animators to produce better 2D stuff? That's asking for change for the sake of change, and that's stupid.

What the fuck are you talking about, personality? It's a goddamn drawing/model, it's not real. That's like saying videogame worlds look "immersive and beautiful". They're just a bunch of textures slapped on top of polygons, who the hell would find such a made-up world beautiful?

A drawing is no different, it's just penciling and inking on a piece of paper, or nowadays, on a drawing tablet.

>Why would you want that garbage to evolve and displace hand drawn instead of putting that money into paying talented animators to produce better 2D stuff?

Why do you think one displaces the other, like 2D animation will just stop existing if 3D gets good enough? 2D Disney animation didn't die because the 3D got really good, it died because the movies stopped having good box office returns in comparison.

/m/ literally only cares about art when they have to defend it. In every discussion of 0083, it's shitting on Nina, talking about Cima, and asking why it even was made. The animation is always. ALWAYS brought up in the form of "but it looked really good though". This happens in everything /m/-related that has nice art but a garbage story.

Or on the opposite side of the spectrum, MGS is (rightfully) said as having story and characters that are worth sitting through the budget 1979 animation. The animation is the thing people don't bring up in MD Geist because while the people like Geist really love it, the animation is universally terrible (while the still art that doesn't require any real animation generally doesn't look bad, pic related).
