Why does no one realise that these subs are fake.
Miyazaki has never even said anime was a mistake but it's spread around like gospel.

I've never heard of memes before

Tbh this old dude sickens me with his retarded attitude sometimes. Otaku are best tho

Theyre not though

>Miyazaki has never even said anime was a mistake

You're the first person who has ever claimed he did not say that.

Not him but i do remember that it was just a mistranslation. That stupid fucker indeed hates some modern trends in the industry and otaku tho

hes not wrong
weebs are a cancer to anime
its acceptable to watch anime every now and then but to fucking engulf the culture 24/7 and buy posters, body pillows, and mousepads with tits on them just screams out "avoid me, im a virgin!".

>weebs
Just fuck off from here

100% this
did he strike a nerve lardass?

Otaku represent counter culture and they put forth new modes of consumption and ways to approach art. They may look weird for you normalfags but they are indeed cool kids in the town.

Just overinflated ego at work here. Overwhelming fame and constant praise has made his ego skyrocket. He unironically believes that anime/otaku industry should revolve around him following only the type of trends he validates. These kind of people are worst of the worst.

Then read your original post and think again

nip version of sjw

he is an insult to life itself

It's a meme, baka.

He's always been a luddite

He was a mistake

He's way overrated

Identifying yourself as Otaku is retarded, especially if you're not japanese.

Why?

>hates otaku
>one of his best friends is the otaku god
What did he mean by this?

There isn't anything wrong with hating otakus.

That does not answer my question.

Only retards like you and him would otakus for irrational and retarded reasons

What is with this otakuphobia here these days?

Japan is dying because too many faggots watch anime instead of having children.

>these days

Anime has become mainstream in west just because they don't really know the lowlifes, waste of air that Otaku are.

I'm a loser but trust me when I say I'm far from being like one of those otaku, they are the very embodiment of why hedonism is wrong.

A lot of insecure fags who want to distant themselves from "pathethic losers" even if they aren't any better or even worse and otakus are presented as stereoypical fat neckbeards, even if most of them are just your average Sup Forumsnon, doing exact same thing, watching anime, reading manga/LN and arguing about their tastes and jerking off to porn.

Japan is dying because of failed economy and retarded working ethics and japanese mindset in general.
Woman are demanding too much sluts who wouldn't even have sex with you despite dating or being your wife, the company that you are working in demand you to overwork till you die, or you have no other choice because you need to feed the family.
Google grass eating man and you will realize that the problem is not abouyt otakus, it's about the leadership of the country.

Japan is not dying, is regulating itself.

If something they need at least 10 years more of the same to end up overpopulation.

>I'm a loser but trust me when I say I'm far from being like one of those otaku
You the cancer that I was talking about, a hypocrite piece of shit who think he's somehow better than le otaku scumXD

People who point out mangakas and anime directors that hate otakus secretly want to fuck them.

Did you guys even met an actual Japanese otaku even for once? Most of the otaku i know are pretty cool people who are not at all losers in life. They don't look that different from an average japanese. You won't even recognize them as otaku unless they start sperging about their hobbies. It's also kinda ironic how the stereotypical image of otaku is of male but most otaku i met were female

>extreme population density on a series of small islands

Do you want them to invade Korea again for living space?

They should buy Islands from Russia.

>Actual transcript

>You see, whether you can draw like this or not, being able to think up this kind of design, it depends on whether or not you can say to yourself, ‘Oh, yeah, girls like this exist in real life. If you don’t spend time watching real people, you can’t do this, because you’ve never seen it. Some people spend their lives interested only in themselves. Almost all Japanese animation is produced with hardly any basis taken from observing real people, you know. It’s produced by humans who can’t stand looking at other humans. And that’s why the industry is full of otaku!.

That was an interesting read, thanks.
>According to Fukasawa, herbivore men are "not without romantic relationships, but have a non-assertive, indifferent attitude toward desires of flesh"
I doubt I could find better words to describe myself. I wonder if anime could really be the cause of that.

Fuck miyazaki, he is a complete retard.

Can you prove him wrong?

Yiu have to be on a new level of retarded, probably actually underage, to believe that cartoons are causing economic growth failure.

I wonder how much have he been observing lolis in real life.

Epic bro! Le anime was le mistake! xD +1

I can't imagine how much pain his existence has to be filled with.

>Japan dying

They have been experiencing uninterrupted growth for over 11 years.

He should just fuck off and continue pandering to his type of audience. Yeah we love art that vectors away from reality and that's our way to comment on reality, that's our way to find unique response towards art that can't be done otherwise. fuck any retard who thinks art should always be a direct reflection of reality. Why are humans are selfish and arrogant? Why do they have to frame what they don't like and understand as something bad? I fucking hate these types of people

When you make half a dozen masterpieces you're allowed to be an egotist.

>MUH DEGENERACY
Based retardbro!

He never said art had to be a direct reflection of reality, he was simply explaining why there were so many otaku in the industry and really, without much disdain.

>these days
a lot of Sup Forums has always hated otakus mostly for having shit taste

I'm also going to mention he has produced plenty of works that vector away from reality and has even commented about doing this before as a good thing, recognizing it as one of the unique traits of anime that cannot be easily replicated by other media. And while I personally think it is a unique trait, I don't think it should be taken to the extent it currently is, where there is hardly any realistic depictions of emotion or character left in a large portion of series.

>Why are there so many otaku artists in otaku industry
I don't know man. That's kinda complicated question. He's just ass mad that most otaku don't share same values as him.

He isn't even mad, you're projecting onto him and are getting mad because of shit he's never done or said.

You should (not) learn Japanese. You have no clue what you're talking about.

>painstakingly replicate human emotion
Pfffffft. Miyazaki movies have the most wooden scripts and flat characters this side of Bollywood.

>tfw you had a passion for art, and expressing yourself through a medium.
>tfw the industry has turned into nothing but garbage, fan service, power levels, recycled diahrea.
>tfw most fanbases are 90% cancer, autism, neets, pedophiles, "muh waifu"
virgins.

Real or not, I don't blame him.

see

>He's just ass mad that most otaku don't share same values as him
and people are mad at him for not liking direction that anime went. It is his opinion and i agree with him. Sure have unrealistic as you can but at least have some kinda realistic characters in your series.

t. degenerate

I bet you watch umaru and gakuen babysitters

Jesus christ, the whole point of posting the transcript was so you retards could see that he never actually said he hated otaku or even the overall state of the industry, he was simply commenting on why he thought there were so many otaku, and he's not fucking wrong; most of the people that produce anime are anti-social and it is clearly expressed through their works and interviews. He never explicitly says it's a bad thing either.

the epin smoke hate anime man

>thinking you keep things reasonable and stick to the facts with Sup Forums
Poor fool.

What a way to generalize that big of a population of otaku as "anti-social". Otaku know reality no less than average japanese. The characters feel away from reality not because they never interacted with humans but because they are not interested in portraying stuff the way miyazaki want. They like these ultra artificial characters and the response they find from them. You can still find relatable elements in these characters in direct or indirect way because no art can be completely unrealistic and not relatable at all without causing this disgusting sensation to the consumer

>It’s produced by humans who can’t stand looking at other humans
And that's why it's so good.

When it's actually Sup Forums that is intellectually superior and immature to most otaku communities

>And that’s why the industry is full of otaku!.
No it's because making anime pays you slave wages so only otaku with passion for waifus give a shit about doing it.

Of course there are going to be relatable elements, people that are anti-social are going to enjoy works produced by anti-social people and because anti-social people are going to produce something that resonates with anti-social people.

You have no idea what you are talking about. Otaku are literally defined by their anti-social and obsessive natures in Japanese culture.

If you are really big into anime, and you are not anti-social, you would not be considered an "otaku" by their cultural definitions.

>anti-social
Surely you mean asocial? Very few otaku are anti-social.

Yeah that's why the vast majority of early animation, which was even riskier, paid less and less marketable, was pandering garb- oh wait, it wasn't.

Is the anime industry really centered around Otaku anymore? I see a lot of fujoshit, gayshit, idolshit and SoL shit that clearly made for women and comfyfags.

asocial would be the better term to describe them

>youtu.be/lqi-RvGTaz4
Now hear it in the words of famous culture critic azuma himself
The etymology of otaku is kinda tricky and you have no idea what you are talking about. There may be anti-social otaku but let's just not generalize that big of population. This stereotypical otaku image is just mass media retardation and nothing more. I have japanese friends who identify themselves as otaku and they don't look that much of anti-social or losers.

I also suggest you to read Galbraith and lamarre discussion on otaku in mechademia magazine before developing such a retarded misconceptions based on memes

>muse.jhu.edu/article/400567/pdf
Here's the link for anyone interested

Yes I'm sure Miyazaki was referring to the early days of animation and not now you fucking idiot

The ones you mentioned are otaku subculture.

Oh boy large part of otaku population in japan is female. Just look at Comiket statistics

I have been there and asked people myself how they view the word, and it falls inline with the general perception of how their culture view otaku as a cultural (not technical) definition. One man's critique isn't going to change the cultural definition of an entire society. I'm also not going to watch an hour and thirty minute video, and I'm inclined to believe that if you can't give me a time in the video where the meat of his statement is, that you didn't actually watch it yourself.

Like I said in a previous post, by their cultural definitions (again, let me reaffirm this, not technical), an Otaku is an anime/manga lover who is asocial and has withdrawn from society. I will add that they are not as withdrawn as hikkikomori, who are seen as having taken it to the extreme and don't necessarily need to have anime involved.

I will also state again, that if you are not anti-social, and you love anime, you are not an otaku by cultural definition. Miyazaki is not, for instance, an otaku, nor would he ever consider himself one.

That's just how that crazy normalfag critic in 80's wrote about otaku which caught media attention when miyazaki incident happened. That perception of otaku is slowly wore off since that incident and the term doesn't hold that much of negative connotation now.

And just to put the hammer on the nail, Miyazaki literally refers to people by this cultural definition in the interview transcript quote I posted.

Oh really, that's why Miyazaki uses this cultural definition, literally referring to asocial people as otaku?

that's actually an excellent point. however, those that target otakus with their content is what succeeds in the industry because only otakus spend a shit ton of money on merch

>In the 80's

He's still doing it now, clearly there is a difference of opinion between you and someone that is heavily involved in Japanese culture and anime sub-culture.

Hopefully that will change with the advent of new marketing and revenue strategies where they are less reliant on merchandising.

He literally says in the beginning of the video that otaku word has lost its stigma. That Galbraith and lamarre discussion is about how the discourse on otaku is messed up and the term defies easy definition

u mean like netflix?
