You know what? Miyazaki has no right to complain about the otaku ruling the industry internally. Of course the otaku are the one making the stories, character design etc, but mostly the animation.
Miyazaki commented animators today are people who hate seeing other people, and that produce an inbreeding because the language of anime is a copy of copy of a copy. But the reason is very obvious:
Who else but otaku are so dedicated to what they love that they are willing to commit to such a low paying high effort job just to see their dreams (waifus) come to life?
Fuck the anime industry too its all garbage. I want the 90s back.
Jason Gomez
Because Myiazaki sees himself as an artist and anime as an artistic form of media
otakus making shows for other otakus is harmless sure, but it takes away from Miyazaki's lifes work and devolves it into lifeless moeshit.
Carter Sanders
Miyazaki has no idea what he's saying. He doesn't watch anime, he doesn't know anything about otaku. No wonder Westerners enthusiastically agree with him.
Moeshit doesn't mean anything. There is no such thing.
Eli Lewis
Miyazaki himself is otaku too.
Christian Adams
Yes, but my point is: What artist WANTS to work on the industry?
Miyazaki is lucky because he's so succesful, but most of the industry isn't. The pay is shit for such working conditions. Delivering fast and producing the show while it's airing? That's insane.
No one in their right mind would do it. And that's exactly why Otaku are the only ones who can.
If Miyazaki had to work for years on the working conditions of serialized anime, he wouldn't be able to say shit. He takes years to release a movie.
Ian Morgan
He worked in television for about two decades before founding Ghibli. He was even involved in some labor union initiative.
Austin Powell
I want Sup Forums and nostalgiafags to leave.
Jeremiah Wood
the fuck is this nigger saying?
Mason Scott
Epic damage control moefag
Miyazaki, Tezuka and other have built anime into a respectable artistic medium and now otaku are trying to devaluate it
Adam Cook
There is no damage control, and moefag doesn't mean anything.
>Miyazaki, Tezuka and other have built anime into a respectable artistic medium and now otaku are trying to devaluate it Complete fantasy.
John Butler
>Epic damage control moefag
Brandon Wilson
When a non-Ghibli director makes a movie even as half as good as Mononoke then he can stop complaining.
Michael Rogers
mission accomplished
Caleb Turner
nice mem
Isaiah Myers
>anime >ever being a respectable artistic medium Not even you believe this.
Caleb Wood
It is a respectable artistic medium. That you don't think it is just means you aren't an anime fan. Or very intelligent.
Lincoln Flores
Kimi no na wa was not the masterpiece that everybody makes it out to be. It's really overrated. At best, it could be called just "good." I always liked Shinkai's movies for their somber tone and the more comedic/"happy" parts of the movie really dragged it down. The whole "group of kids work together to upstage the stupid adults" just felt like Hollywood's idea of an anime movie.
Ending was pretty good though.
Jonathan Martin
Anime doesn't even respect itself, you faggot.
Joshua Thompson
he said "half as good" though
Xavier Garcia
But Mononoke is not a Ghibli work, it's made by Toei Animation.
Oliver Gonzalez
epic
Gabriel Adams
It does. You're just projecting.
Asher Russell
It's all subjective though
Owen Gray
Good point.
Joshua Evans
>muh artistic medium
Nolan Scott
I bet you enjoy eromanga-sensei and haven't watched anything before 2007
Josiah Nguyen
>respectable >I can't into quality, so I will replace it with popularity
Luis Richardson
It is an artistic medium.
Anime didn't stop being a respectable artistic medium in 2007.
Cooper Sanders
>Miyazaki sees himself as an artist No he doesn't.
Jace Ramirez
I didn't. I'm calling that guy an underage.
Ryan King
>m-m-muh cherry picked anime Most of it was offensively bad garbage back then too. You're the one who is underage.
Dylan Morales
It doesn't. You are projecting.
Kevin Adams
Did you watch Cutie Honey?
Gabriel Wilson
No, you are projecting. You people just fundamentally do not like anime and don't take it seriously. But instead of admitting it and moving on, you keep infesting anime communities.
Jackson Walker
It's hard to compare the two because of the massive genre difference, but I don't think kimi no na wa can be put on the same level as mononoke at all. Just compare the writing by the central thesis Mononoke: man and beasts alike want to defy nature and bend the order of things to their compelling but ultimately shortsighted needs, they learn that that only brings calamity to all. Kimi no Na wa: nature wants to fuck shit up but love conquers all and the town is saved.
Shinkai definitely knows how to make things look great and get people emotionally invested in his characters, but he's never made anything very challenging.
Camden Johnson
Most people don't take anime seriously. Both aniota and haters. Hipsters are minority.
Parker Butler
I agree with the guy. Anime, LNs and manga are so self aware of their many tropes they sometimes even willfully use them, not to parody, but to build stories upon them. One example this season is that Eromanga anime. Gave it the three episode rule but I honestly felt like my intelligence was being insulted. Otakus still gobble this shit up so I guess that's exactly what they want.
Jaxon Johnson
Someone who does not take anime seriously cannot be an anime otaku.
>I agree with the guy. Of course you do. You both have no idea what you're talking about.
Anthony Young
Anime otaku are the lowest common denominator, enjoying trash like OreImo or the 67th season of Bakeshit
James Morgan
Otaku are not a monolith, and something isn't trash just because it doesn't conform to your pretentious Western normalfag standards.
Jace Scott
Miyazaki is right and Moe fags know it
Adam Wright
>No one in their right mind would do it. And that's exactly why Otaku are the only ones who can.
I like this
Brandon Foster
Otaku is in it for cute girls, homo and fun. Literally escaping from boring reality. You can't expect serious evaluation of the medium from these people.
Blake Baker
Miyazaki has no idea what he's talking about and moefag doesn't mean anything.
Easton Powell
Not enjoying blantantly pandering anime like OreImo or Eromanga isn't being pretentious, it's having some shred of self respect.
Justin Johnson
Otaku are not a monolith. Otaku in the Western sense don't even exist, they're a mass hallucination.
Something is not pandering just because you don't like it, and yes you are a pretentious normalfag. You need anime to be "artistic" and "deep" so you can look good in front of others.
Logan Lee
so animation should only pander to socially inept degenerates
Xavier Allen
And you are a manchild with no taste
Mason Thompson
Aren't you the idiot who said anime is a respectable medium? Now you're saying people who don't like lowest comon denominator anime are not true otaku.
I know anime can shit out pretty decent and even amazing stuff sometimes, but I won't sit and gobble garbage like LoveLive or Eromanga, soulless shows that were literally brewed in meeting rooms with extensive market research; using every generic trope available to hit all the beats necesary for your average manchild otaku to obsess over it.
Juan Morris
What could be seen as an Otaku in his days is different then what an Otaku currently is. At least what could be consider the foundation of what we know of Otaku culture was just a bunch of people that wanted to express their views on what was going in Japan society because of the after-effects of World War II had on their economy.
What can be consider an Otaku now is really a bunch of people that can be consider losers that want to avoid reality all together. That churn soulless works that doesn't have any real human touch too it.
Isaiah Garcia
They are not socially inept if they are capable of buying expensive merch. Being otaku these days is trend in Japan. Otaku now boast about helping Japanese economy through merchandise buying and mobage charging.
Aaron Diaz

Jacob Gray
Anime that are philosophically deep are rare.
But so are books that are philosophically deep. So are TV shows that are philosophically deep.
However, I will say that TV shows recently have been becoming more "well made". For example, Fargo and Breaking Bad are great. Breaking Bad really has good character growth.
I don't know how often it's true. But consider this. For every eromanga sensei in anime, there may be a 50 shades of grey in the movie industry, a Jersey Shore in the TV industry, and there are countless poorly written books that get published.
The anime industry does not output as much as the TV/books industry. Which is why it's a lot easier to notice all the shit that comes out like Oreimo, DAL, battle harem #41223 or Isekai #45323.
The anime industry does still produce good stuff.
Blake Cox
Those are both memes.
>Now you're saying people who don't like lowest comon denominator anime are not true otaku. No, I said people who don't anime seriously are not otaku. Lowest common denominator is a meme by the way.
>I know anime can shit out pretty decent and even amazing stuff sometimes, but I won't sit and gobble garbage like LoveLive or Eromanga, soulless shows that were literally brewed in meeting rooms with extensive market research They aren't garbage just because they don't conform to your normalfag standards, and anime production doesn't work like you think it does.
>generic trope These words don't really mean anything.
>manchild Meaningless.
>What can be consider an Otaku now is really a bunch of people that can be consider losers that want to avoid reality all together. Meme.
>soulless Meme.
This is so fucking mind-numbing and boring. All people can come up with is memes, buzzwords, memes, buzzwords, memes, over and over again in every thread in every community.
Andrew Anderson
>This thing you just said doesn't mean anything because I have no argument against it.
The funny thing about isekai anime is that they are actually very diverse despite their specific premise, but all I ever hear is from people is how they are all the same.
It doesn't mean anything because it doesn't mean anything.
Dylan Long
I'm tired of you anti-moefags hiding behind Miyazaki when he's been pessimistic about fucking everything animation related since the precious "golden ages" everybody compares modern anime too. He isn't on your side.
Luke Brown
Truly you are the only smart and enlightened poster in this thread and not just avoiding conversation
Isaiah Long
>The funny thing about isekai anime is that they are actually very diverse despite their specific premise, but all I ever hear is from people is how they are all the same. Meme
>It doesn't mean anything because it doesn't mean anything. Meme
Dylan Clark
Miyazaki wanted to draw cute girls too. He isn't that special than your average otaku. Difference is he gave his waifus more freedom as characters that is acceptable enough for mainstream normalfags.
Wyatt Johnson
>Meme Meme >Meme Meme
The cycle will never end. NEVER!
Jack Bailey
Relying on all these memes and buzzwords is actually avoiding conversation. It's avoiding reality.
Neither of those are memes.
Jackson Reed
If anime was either an uninteresting as working in western animation (pre-school shows) or profitable (Pixar) then japanese animators would probably be paid more. Unfortunately not.
Hudson Scott
>Difference is he gave his waifus more freedom as characters that is acceptable enough for mainstream So he gives his characters more CHARACTER as opposed to passive waifus with no personality aside from one or two stablished archetypes that get shit out in most seasonal anime? And this is not a good thing because?
>normalfags This doesn't mean anything
Zachary Garcia
>implying something needs to be philosophically deep or 'intellectual' in order to be good >sturgeon's law
Juan Reyes
>passive waifus with no personality aside from one or two stablished archetypes that get shit out in most seasonal anime This is complete gibberish. This has nothing to do with reality. This is echo chamber meme drivel.
Bentley Garcia
Which anime would you consider philosophically deep?
William Cox
>everything I disagree with is a meme! Fucking retard
Jason Perez
I never said that. I gave two examples, Breaking Bad and Fargo. Neither are deep.
If you want an example of an entertaining anime that's not deep, look at FMA.
Brandon Evans
Buy you sure are delusional, are you saying Sagiri from Eromanga is a deep and complex character, and not just an imouto type so that otakus can waifu and make fanart of?
Caleb Watson
Kino no Tabi. Not mushishit. That's for sure.
Benjamin Nelson
If you don't like cute anime girls, you don't like anime.
Joseph Price
The fact that people are throwing around memes like confetti has nothing to do with me.
Characters don't necessarily need to be deep and complex. This is yet more pretentious normalfag shit. Also hypocritical since plenty of Western media don't have deep and complex characters either, but nobody minds.
Julian Torres
>Moeshit doesn't mean anything. There is no such thing.
Xavier Allen
You are such a special snowflake faggot holy shit
Michael Parker
Not favourable to otaku because they want to write waifus according to their own ideal standard
Levi Russell
I like them, but I also like them with some substance and personality.
>more pretentious normalfag shit This doesn't mean anything, there is no such thing. Meme, etc. See how easy is to discuss to your level?
Brody King
>Books that are philosophically deep are rare But it does explore a few concepts here and there. It also borrows heavily from Eastern folklore and philosophy.
David Reed
Yeah because memes and buzzwords are OK when Sup Forumsutists use them right?
Ian Myers
thats not even his best movie though
Nathan Richardson
That's what I said.
No, you are just dumb.
> See how easy is to discuss to your level? It isn't my level, it is yours. You are the ones using memes and buzzwords almost exclusively and saying things that don't mean anything.
Tyler Barnes
Reasoning??? In Sup Forums???
Jack Thomas
This doesn't mean anything
Jonathan Gonzalez
The only anime I like is moe. Miyazaki can fuck off.
Michael Carter
>>Books that are philosophically deep are rare Rare in terms of the market, yes. It's very easy to find a philosophically deep book. But that's because there have been so many books written in the world.
Brayden Mitchell
We are on Sup Forums right now.
Epic post good sir. You imitated me without having any comprehension of what I'm talking about, that is really for the win.
Brayden Walker
That's like saying if you don't like vapid mainstream pop you don't like music Fucking idiot
Logan Reed
Meme
Kayden Jones
Yeah, you're a fucking idiot. You have no idea what's going on here.
Carter Robinson
Imagine being this stubborn, Jesus Christ. You are literally covering your ears and cannot refute a single point.
Grayson Murphy
but Miyazaki makes moe anime
Michael Roberts
You are literally projecting.
Camden Parker
I'm just happy to know that more animators are dying because of work-related stress.
Joseph Russell
Manchild
Adrian Jenkins
He said every work of fantasy is a piece of shit including his own and we all need to get rid of our technology and go live outside.
Brandon Roberts
If you like moeshit I'm gonna kick your ass
Jack Kelly
Nothing wrong with living outside. It builds character, makes you fitter, prettier, smarter, wiser and longer-lived.
Jackson Cruz
>projecting Buzzword
Jason Foster
Copy-pasta arguments invoking sturgeons law to defend the quality of a medium you can find anywhere is reasoning now? You would have a point if I said a single genre like pop. And no, mo-ay is not a genre.
