Why do you still care about Star Wars when some jap, 35 years ago, took the best part of it, added giant robots and managed to create a better, more mature and more influential space opera than SW ever was?

A better question to ask OP would be why Western cartoons went from being hand-drawn extremely detailed artwork with many many textures and objects within every frame, and glorious animation effects;
to becoming shit that looks like a child with mental disability drew it with simplistic lines, no details, and looking worse than the shittiest of Internet flash toon videos.

it absolutely does

the entire series was building up that phezzan dude and the earth cult and their machinations but they just went with brain cancer and a weak terrorist attack. one of the themes in the show was that all the plans of men often come to naught but the end was poorly done.

they also foreshadowed the earth cult poisoning reinhard but they didn't use that plotline at all. turns out it was just space aids. series is amazing but it definitely has flaws.

Another anon here.
There are plenty of anime that had what would be lauded as "diverse" characters by SJWs.
The difference though is that Japs always make them good and make them because they don't give a fuck about this retarded identity politics.
They just make them because they try to make it interesting for no other agenda but for the sake of it, and they pull it off.

Meanwhile the West tries to shoehorn shit haphazardly 100% for the sake of political reasons, and so they can go "i made that progressive character, look at me and bask in my relevance and glory" "give me backpats and compliments for doing it, even though i did it badly".

Some of my most favorite characters in anime comes off as faggots, or pretty much are faggots.

Very seldom does American TV actually manage to produce an equivalent.
I have a strong dislike for trannies, particularly Internet ones,
but that Chinese/Korean/Whateverheis gay tranny in Banshee is probably my most favorite in the show, because you can feel he wasn't shoehorned in there for political "progressive" bullshitting.

Nigger, what i posted is not realistic either. This isn't about realism. It's about detailed meticulous art.

Like the difference between pic related (which obviously isn't realistic), and a picture sporting a fucking menstrual blood splash upon it with a few lines of brush added here and there.

It is about realism and details. Cartoons are mostly for kids. They are not supposed to be realistic. If you want more serious stories then watch live action.
>>
>>64088106
Who in the fuck was talking about western cartoons? And where did I say "more creative"? Are you putting words into my mouth now because you have no argument?

I said that OP was wrong in claiming Gundam was more influential than Star Wars, because Gundam's influential reach doesn't extend much farther than Japan, while Star Wars's influence is worldwide.

Star Wars isn't a western cartoon, and I never argued that Gundam isn't more creative. Simply that it isn't more influential.

You don't know what that word means, or what it's context is.
Are you going to say that Transformers the movie from 1986 is "realism" even though it fits into my argument?
Stop being retarded.
>If you want more serious stories then watch live action.
pfft
One one hand, you are implying that the west isn't capable of making really detailed cartoons and blowing it off as "it's made for kids, no need to seek higher standards". A ludite's idiocy.
On the other hand, given the state of live action movies in the past few years, you are implying there exists such a thing as serious stories in them anymore.
There should be a limit to your trolling.

Animating detailed frames well is hard which is why both american cartoons and japanese cartoons stopped having hyper details in their frames because it took too much time and money to make it look good.

Anime still has more details per frame when you see regular scenes but notice in the action scenes those details become fewer to make the animation smoother.

Yes. There is nothing special about Hibike Euphonium. It doesn't use animation to its advantage. Essentially it's a mediocre drama, but animated.

The ironic thing is here is that you are correct for saying to someone who named Transformers as an example to stick to the anime, yet your same advice flushes your own argument down the toilet as in this case the cartoons are the serious story while the films are just trash.

you don't have to justify animating something by animating something you could also film in a similar traditional fashion

animation by its basic nature removes pretense of reality that film still toys with, which directly alters the way the viewer interacts with it - the difference works out basically to:
animated: ah ha. the onus is on me to be moved by this
film: ah ha. the onus is on them to move me.

"reality" is confrontational and exclusive
"fantasy" is inclusive and observational

this is way animation is the superior artform and film should be thrown into the garbage forever

You're saying that you can't draw great animation animating people moving and playing music?

I tried to watch the series or whatever. It's no one's fault except the fansubbing community. I've seen plenty of fansubs that are solid, they frequently footnote alien concepts for western audiences. Turn-A's fansub is riddled with grammatical errors and is just very poorly written in general.

None of this would matter to an anime autist such as yourself.
