Why are there no regularly running cartoons that have as good animation as Pokemon, which runs on less than $100,000 an episode budget, meanwhile Family Guy takes 2 million

There is a difference between a low paying jobs vs slave-level jobs.

Only a tiny fraction of American cartoon budgets go into the animation itself.

Reminder that the faggot in that thread makes these threads, if not he will come to post "nuh-uh' and non-arguments.

>Family Guy takes 2 million
This gave me 11 heart attacks and PTSD.

Japanese animators are underpaid american animators are a little overpayed

But mostly the low pay on the Japs side

Although talking family guy specifically they have a lot of guest stars come in that must eat a huge amount of there budget

Family Guy and Simpsons are special cases. They're "iconic shows", meaning their voice actors get to pull a stupidly huge amount of money out of the studio or they threaten to walk and the studio can't say no because the show is stupidly popular and will make the money back.

Probably cause pokemon is more popular, spans an entire video game and trading card industry, and cause they're compensating for the fuck up that was Best Wishes.

Though I do admit that there are other anime that have generally good animation seemingly out of nowhere like Boku no Hero Academia. Guess It has something to do with more of their budget going into animation and such since the story is already set for them, what with most anime being adaptations of manga.

...

Because Family Guy sells, the shitty Pokemon anime doesn't (anymore)

You actually make more working at McD in Japan than if you where an animator there.

Average american productions cost like $400k-$600k, since they usually don't have producers and voice actors trying to pocket six figure paychecks every month.

>anime quality
>being remotely good
>any year since 2000

Family Guy has tons of guest appearances and legacy voice actors that demand a TON of money. All the leads make somewhere around 6 figures per episode, guests are variable depending on how famous and if they are in demand.

Add in all the clearance rights the show has to pay for music rights and you have one hell of a ballooning budget.

The Simpsons have actually gone through the same thing with their voice actors. Fox seriously considered recasting all the leads until they realized the bad press might sink the show.

>mfw Family Guy """"""""""""""""""""""animation"""""""""""""""""""""", """"""""""""""""""""""comedy"""""""""""""""""""""" and """"""""""""""""""""""writing""""""""""""""""""""""

Japan animators have absolutely terrible pay. To the point where serious discussions have been happening that it might cross over into indentured servitude/slavery territory in a few decades. (Animators there actually have to live in company dorms and buy for the company store just to survive)

It's also highly probable that the Japanese animation industry will basically die off like the US one did in the 80's. Outsourcing all the major work to Korea and Vietnam has been a very popular trend since the 90's.

>Last year
>No good anime
>This year
>No good anime
Jeez, idiot. There is always something good or slightly good every season, if you don't have shit taste.
This fucking season we have many shows that range from good to pretty good
>Concrete Revolutio The last song: Really good
>Sakamoto: Cool cooler coolest
>Luluco: Good
>Mayoiga: Admitedly this one is pretty idiotic but the constant cliffhangers/shitposting are good
>Joker game: Good
Everything else ranges from compelte flavor of the month shit to mediocre.
But I guess you wouldn't know if good anime came out if you don't watch the good stuff.

Deal with it bitch

Jesus, it was obvious that he was exaggerating. Calm the hell down. And just so you know that people hardly get to see the good stuff because the shit stuff is all that gets the attention.

OP, I watch XY as well and they take animation shortcuts EVERYWHERE, like most anime. That's why it's so cheap.

And as far as anime goes, it isn't great either.

You made this thread again?

Le cherrypicking faec

Hey faggot dont fucking lie to most people here that oinemon has good animation, in reality it has like 3 minutes of good animation out of 20 episodes

Keep nitpicking though

Workhours and pay are different in Japan to the point of slavery. Also they outsource everything to Korea. It's terrible but hey, it gets things done. I wish the Calarts hipsters had to work as hard as the Japanese but they don't, which is why animation, artstyle, and writing in the west is horrendous 99% of the time.

>anime
>good writing

probably animated in south kora desu senpai senpai desu

Only 10% of a Family Guy budget actually goes towards animation. The rest goes into the pockets of celebrity voice actors and executive producers.

Because we have unions in North America

Nigga what?

They wouldn't be doing those jobs unless they really enjoyed it.

>american animation will never have backgrounds that are this beautiful

Gonna be a dumbass and take the bait. There are plenty of western shows that have drop dead gorgeous backgrounds, like Gravity Falls. It's just such a different art style, because a lot of the really, REALLY good backgrounds are pretty much photographs, while western cartoons rarely try for photorealism.

Lmao so you're saying that western is better right? One of the most popular cartoons in the US has this as one of their best scenes, which is sad

unions

The backgrounds in this anime are great

Why did she cut her hair >:(

What the fuck is even going on here, some sort of orgy ritual?

I can't think of a single japanese cartoon with photorealistic background

>There are plenty of western shows that have drop dead gorgeous backgrounds, like Gravity Falls.
> like Gravity Falls

Stopped reading there, its hardly any better than Steven Universe
