For me the good old hand drawn stuff beats out the digital crap. I hcan't be the only one who thinks Naruto looks like crap with it's awful character design. I like anime from all periods hell I'll watch anything from Gegege no Kitaro to monster but I prefer the older stuff myself.

Also, Naruto does indeed look crap.

No, take a look into this club here on MAL, you'll find that there are other people out there who appreciate the older anime. Simply join and feel free to discuss with those who share the same interests in older anime.

You're making generalizations of older art and animation as well as generalizations of newer art and animation. Remember, animating techniques were different, and in many ways much less efficient than most digital techniques we have today. A lot of modern anime still uses traditional animation techniques, and if you think that looks better then good on you, but you opinion shouldn't be influenced by generalizations.

I like older hand drawn stuff, i think it holds up to time better than digital. The problem for me is the encode quality that you find much of older hand drawn anime in.

I love newer animation, but that's what I grew up on(Naruto and Bleach[not exactly new but you know what I mean]) I don't like older art. I'm only 14 so that's probably why.

Naruto first published in 1999 and it's anime first aired in 2002, it's been well over 10 years since it began. Same goes for Bleach. Also, I'm thinking you're a troll since you're not accepting anything anyone who disagrees with you says (in that last thread you made). While I'm on that, why do you make two threads which can be discussed in the same damn thing?

By old I obviously meant like 80's stuff. I don't consider 2000 old honestly but I'm 21 and Autistic. I didn't mean to troll but I made this topic because of the responses on the other one.

Of course you're not the only one. There are a lot of people who prefer the older art just as there are many who prefer the newer stuff. To me art is one of the least important things in an anime and I like both new and old art. I won't not watch an anime just because of its art style.

This is how I feel. Storyline is way more important than the art unless your talking about an art film like Belladonna of sadness.

One of the problem I have with modern anime is that artists these days dont know how to draw women anymore. I'm just tired of those moeblob girls that all look the same.

No. Not quite true.
Digital animations were created by computers while physical cel animations were hand crafted. There is quite a difference between them.

in terms of art it doesnt matter for me, im more interested in characters and story,

the problem in modern digital graphics is that it opens so many opportunities that characterization and plot lose their primary importance, thats why i prefer old movies, not because of their art, but because of more deep storytelling, not just throwing some flashy fights

Didn't some guy use to spend a lot of time explaining that basically the content is still hand-drawn in most of modern anime, no matter if the colouring and animation are now computer-based?

And you can say the same thing about most Pixar and DreamWork's 3D movies as well. Animators had to first design and draw their characters on papers first with different poses and perspectives before finally scan them to computer and construct 3D objects out of them.
http://www.awn.com/articles/production/iopen-seasoni-diary-2d-3d-character-design-and-rigging/page/1%2C1

The same goes to most american 2d flash animations as well. In fact, most of the modern made Japanese anime are rather similar to American 2D flash animations. They all use software tools to scan drawing papers and generate frames. It doesn't matter it's 2D or 3D. CG is CG.

This video shows that in-between of modern anime were computer generated.

I prefer newer art, It just looks so much better to me.

The time an anime came out doesn't really matter, if it's good then it's good. I have no preference when it comes to the anime themselves.

That's probably true for some of the anime made in the early 2000s. They were using similar software tools not MSpaint though.

If you look back at the production of some of the beauty and detail design of 80s/90s anime. You'll see that hand drawn and painted cel is MORE than just scanning papers and lining vectors with modern software tools.

Yeah, exactly. Having a little bit CGI is totally okay, just don't overuse it. To me, sometimes it makes it seem less realistic with too much CGI...

Actually. When I said "CGI" I was referring to 3D objects and computer FX effects they used in anime. The rest of the 2D stuff like character in modern anime were computer colored so you may likely to call them CG too. XD

Here's a comparison between physical cel animations and digital animations.


I personally prefer the more organic and warmer looking cel over plastic and clean looking digital animations. My personal opinion though.

Much of the so-called difference between cel and digital animation is more due to a change in aesthetic preferences over time as opposed to any so-called limitations of digital animation. There's no reason for digital animation to have a limited color palette. Granted, there are some inherent differences between the two such as rougher lineart and slightly different "lighting" effects. Overall, I prefer digital animation for looking more polished and it's also more efficient.

I don't mean to be rude, but that's a pretty poor example since detailed shading and multi-tone colors weren't even the standard in old anime. It's more common than today, but by all means even old tv anime had flat coloring and simple shading. Also, like I said earlier, it's more on an aesthetic thing as well. The Girl Who Leapt Through Time for instance has a simple, flat color scheme because that's what the director intended.
