Art-style degradation for faster production always seems lazy

Art-style degradation for faster production always seems lazy.
What cartoons change artistic fidelity for the betterment of their cartoon?

pic semi-unrelated.

>Hating on Mystery Inc.

>Using Scooby Doo for an example
>When the original Scooby Doo is by far the cheapest cartoon on here

New Jake Long looks better

Omniverse is the best looking Ben 10

Scooby Doo always changes it's art style

Teen Titans and Teen Titans Go! are a shitty example because they're very different shows with very different tones. The only thing that's the same is the characters and setting.

When will the shitty comparing of Teen Titans to Teen Titans Go! meme finally fucking die. You don't have to like TTG! but comparing it to the original Teen Titans cartoon is the most overly pseudo-intellectual bullshit I've ever seen

>New Jake Long looks better
Spud was the only redesign I liked.

Mystery Inc. looked incredible, it's color design alone was above just about every cartoon on TV today.

I see you didn't include What's New, Scooby-Doo?, probably because it's an excellent counterexample.

This guy has the right idea.

>Thinking season 2 of Jake Long or Omniverse look bad.
Shit taste.

>New Jake Long looks better
Opinion discarded
>Omniverse is the best looking Ben 10
Opinion picked up
>Scooby Doo always changes it's art style
True

Or Shaggy and Scooby Doo get a clue

This is a joke, right?

>You don't have to like TTG! but comparing it to the original Teen Titans cartoon is the most overly pseudo-intellectual bullshit I've ever seen

You're on an image-board that discusses cartoons and memes all day, everyday. Anything's fair game.

That is easily the shittiest version of Velma I've ever seen.

Are you sure that isn't Dumbing of Age

i get that ben is supposed to be a 10 year old kid but there's something about the newest incarnation that makes him look too childish

Mystery Inc. Was a great redesign though.

It's meant to be aimed at a much younger audience. Besides, kids look at stuff like the original ben10 design and think "that looks like it's old." the same way you could tell stuff on boomerang was old

season 2 jake long and dragon both look better though

>When the original Scooby Doo is by far the cheapest cartoon on here

Fun fact: television animation was dying when H-B started streamlining the fuck out of the process so networks wouldn't dump it altogether. Yes it was cheap but it saved animation.

Also no one shit talk Iwao Takamoto. Ever.

kek

iwao takamoto a bitch

Look, I'm a huge fan of Omniverse and of DJW, but I can admit it's far from the best art style in a technical detail sense. However, what DJW and others do with his style show it's strengths, namely exaggeration, stylization, differation, and customization.

Except that when I was that age I wanted to watch more mature and dark stuff. Of course, I was a stupid 8 year old so I needed some comedy and color, but the concept of consuming adult material = being more adult is neither uncommon nor hard to grasp for broadcasters.

Hell, if they were both around and on tv at normal hours when I was a kid, I'd likely love Space Dandy and think Cowboy Bebop was rather boring. Dandy just exchanges some of the more mature stuff for color and comedy, and as a kid I'd value that higher.

Aren't there like joke charts explaining target audience vs actual audience for different stuff, where while Pokémon is targeted to kids and CoD is targeted to young men, the actual audiences are switched?

That kind of 'wanting to be like the big kids' mentality is still present in (at least) boys today, yet remains unused by cartoons and fully used by video games.
