What happened to aesthetic desing in anime? Everything feel so soulless lately

What happened to aesthetic desing in anime? Everything feel so soulless lately.

Is this just nostalgia?

so, souless.

2010 was 7 years ago user.

looks soulless white watching her child's death

And K-on was 8 years ago you fucking retard

And? K-on is probably the biggest culprit of this shit styleless anime fad.

I guess you just like shades.

Attack on Titan had lovely art design.

Have you not seen Mob Psycho 100?

"No"

I guess you just like Cel

What a compelling counter-argument.

I did, and very much enjoyed it. What is comparable to it this season? Can you even name one anime?

Show me a single TV show from the 80s or 90s that consistently looked as detailed as this. You can't.

That movie looked better than most things though, so comparing it is quite harsh. Art types do seem to look more alike in modern anime.

...

More like it's the call of duty of anime, brown filter on everything.

Switch to digital, plus trends.

>anything Kyoani
>Arthouse

The chart has some good picks but I won't be able to take it seriously until that's fixed.

>soulless
This word has lost all meaning

...

There's nothing really comparable to it I'd say. The most visually appealing and aesthetic show this season is probably Ballroom e Youkoso.

>K-On
>arthouse

???

It's nostalgia.

No one remembers average or below-average shows from previous decades. If you compare top-tier anime from previous decades to average anime now of course you will be disappointed.

Kyoani is more like moe house than art tbqh

all characters must look like kids or the fans will riot. They get scared when they get rejected even in their fantasies.

You have to remember that your pic and most other shows people use as examples of old animation and design being better than that of modern shows were exceptions rather than the norm even back in their day. You remember them because they've survived the test of time, but there are so many other soulless old anime that are never talked about. Old things feel better because they've already been filtered unlike currently airing shows. The majority has always been subpar. This isn't an anime only thing though, it also applies to pretty much anything, such as live action shows and manga.

At least that trend of triangle faces passed. Fuck that was some disgusting shit.

Fuckin delete this

>Kyoani
>arthouse

Why is wolf children here but bakemono no ko isn't?

i'd argue the whole concept is artsy-fartsy

This could be any show, they all have the same bloom, blur, orange tint and lack of solid blacks that provide contrast.

Over 2 decades of economical stagnation lead to pic related

Neither of those should be there. They're both mainstream as fuck and are easily digestible. That whole chart is dominated with shit that isn't remotely "art house".

Bloodlust faces were terrible even back when it aired. Nice example homolord

Anime is for pachinko.

Yeah, that user always posts that stupid chart and sometimes makes bait threads as if he know what art house is.

damn, what the FUCk happened?

The first three in this have the kind of sterile coloring and lack of aesthetics that OP complains about though

The backgrounds here are low resolution and effort.

I posted it, and I've never posted it before. The art house thing doesn't matter. Most of those shows have unique aesthetics and generally "good" animation, which is exactly what OP was asking about.

>The art house thing doesn't matter
Yes it does, because it's bait.

The Sugoi Kakoiii demographic was replaced with the moe moe demographic which constantly demands shitty harems and CGDCT.

>Ballroom
>visually appealing
It's hideous. Might as well pick The Reflection, which at least has its own style going on. Though superflat probably isn't what OP is looking for.

It feels bad man.

...

The difference is not about aesthetics, is more about being "flat". Designs like yours have dimensionality, some that anime today lack.

Left is what we would have gotten is moe didn't take over
Now we're stuck with right after K-on!.

Why can't digital get the warmth of background light right anymore?

Things went to shit when they started coloring everything digitally.

Is Keion the most influential animes of all time?

This. Shit also applies to movies, music and a bunch of other shit.

>ufotable

that would be Urusei Yatsura

>this didn't get the reply once
this board is fucking dead

every anime nowadays is done digitally
and as you might not know, you can't have pencil precision with a tablet

You knew it was over when they stopped drawing noses.

Except Kaguya, Tatami Galaxy, Space Dandy and Ping Pong to some extent the rest are not art house
Shelter is a fucking music video 5 minutes long not anime

None of them are art house except Rain Town and maybe Shelter.

*None of them are art house
ftfy

you mean the stupid reply telling that all those screenshots are from the same episode?

is this what's happening to devilman?

Because cel animation used an ACTUAL light source.

>Urusei Yatsura
It's actually everything that Tezuka made, but whatever user.

Tezuka as a whole yeah but when talking about single titles that influenced the industry then no

WRONG

>tfw this studio followed you back

Feels... all right. I hope they like my art.

make sure to work hard and maybe something is happening

You don't know what you're talking about, then

yeah like episode 2

Pretty much nostalgia. Only the best of 90's is ever brought up. Nobody bothers to think about the truckloads of absolutely shit low budget anime that existed back then.

To me, they just are trying many ways to look cute and charming.
And I'm ok with that.

What do you wanted?
Pixar?

>single titles that influenced the industry
>not everything Tezuka made
Uh what? You can literally trace the origins of every single series back to any one Tezuka series.

both of these look bad

What Tezuka series is the origin of K-ON?

>Kyoani
I swear kyoanusfags think they're some connoisseurs or something. Unsightly.

Well first there's the colors. The ink used for outlines fades when it dries, so you have warm lines instead of solid black like you can get in animation made on a computer. The use of actual pigments in general helps give it a more natural look

Also hair was drawn more like hair and not like weird spikes

...

kyoani fags ruined anime by proving time and time again that they will swallow dogshit if there's a moeblob in it

wtf they're all from the same episode?

the biggest difference there is that one anime is for kids and the other one is for adults and it's full of dirty jokes and otaku pandering

They now make simpler, less detailed, more cartoony, designs that are easier and faster to copy. Also keep in mind you are posting a screenshot from a movie.

not all of it but some episode of space dandy especially season 2 are some of the most arthouse stuff anime has ever reached, dead dandy in particular is an episode that reaches that.

wow its almost like the point of the picture was to emphasize how easy it is to cherrypick.

I think you're missing the point entirely, there. It's not about cherrypicking or quality.

>First entry is K-On
Am I being baited?

It's more of an issue of how detailed the animation is if anything.

Moefags truly the worst. Just stay in your threads where you masturbate over your waifus please.

I want you to stop deluding yourself like every kyoanusfag

looks like shit bro
WIT did good art design with Hoozuki and Rolling Girls though

>that cataclysmic drop in the last two
jesus.

megazone is cheating it's too good

>TMS
God is dead and japs are the culprits

pushing this shit pedo agenda since ever this is like modern art too.... we need to spot the patterns and see what is the trigger for this stale culture

Pick two.

They reuse to many clips.

>Kyoani
>any style

I don't think there's a problem with animators, its just the studios trying to play it 'safe' with generic artwork rather than something different. There is modern anime that looks gorgeous too like death parade,acca13 and even pic related.
