drink more alcohol 😄

you are still able to type

yeah, and I only have to retype every sentence like twice and I don't get that many red squiggly lines so I'm good

but really.. if something seems particularly important get back to me in like 12-15 hours

I really hate how that thing has like 10 frames in total

it really highlights what has gone wrong with anime

Gone wrong? Anime has always cut corners to save budget for the sakuga.

too commercialized, artistic expression has no room (outside of outliers like Miyazaki, who is really just a well payed ayuthor)) because now it's all about quick bux

It is probably the gif & not the anime...

I did not quite have the befiest of PC when I was making this gif.

anime wasn't always low budget, but I do agree it has effectively always been low budget

anime framerate has never gone down

Stop watching shit then. There's been shitty trend chasing anime for ages. We just forget all the old stuff that sucks like we will the modern stuff

you have to go back to like the early 90's or earlier to successfully make the argument anime is NOT low budget crap

ye. people forget the mediocre after 10 years

cwow you only remember the best anime from the early 90's

therefore you can only really compare it to the best anime from the late '10s

Aggretsuko is unironically the best anime this year

and it's fundamentally a Western cartoon

Didn't Toei basically only manage to exist because of pioneering extreme cost cutting methods at the expense of quality?

IMO, to emphasize

Plus anime's philosophy has mostly been to value quality & detail over simplicity & fluidity when it comes to animation.

if you want to watch old anime that's new just watch megalobox

I don

don't want to watch old anime, I want to watch good movies

well you're making the argument that old anime was better

https://myanimelist.net/anime/36563/Megalo_Box

so here's a 90's anime that was made in 2018

hm

that's...

not really the argument I'm aiming for, but I can definitely see that as being a projection of my argumert

Remember Speed Racer in the 60's? They don't make animation of that quality any more.

let me try to rephrase and summarize::

new anime, post say 1995, in general, isn't very good

All media in general isn't very good\

well what i'm saying is that pre-1995 anime wasn't very good either

things, in general, are not very good

Man, I have been turning into an anime amish man... I have been mostly reverting to watching pre-2014 anime. it is not like I do it for old anime elitism considering I watched Kekko Kamen: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aOwKFaDUSKM

it's jsut that you don't remember the bad anime from that time period because it was so long ago
