Imaishi said: then how if i told you that Danshi koukosei no nichjou get axed not long after it anime finished?Unyilkdr said: well, when harem anime (sodekata and tastemen) easily get second season, things like nichijou have to survive just for finished. i just can hope family stuff (romance, non moe SOL, comedy, shounen) can still alive. that are enough for me. this isn't a good example because nichijou is terrible |

| More than anime decays or dies I think is evolving, but the bad is than US industry is comin' and putting their octopus suckers on it. So the more animation on US/UE are shity, insane but child focused, Japanese have a variety no market would have ever. Our rol like fans is folow the current but, we all have a hard critic point, so a good point of view about our own tates and likes, so the difference is not anime dying, so some genres or demographics due a lack of market/proffit, this is the main matter on a business, so the thing than no gain money go to the trash cube, but many of this works were valuable for little groups of fans... So something is missing, some of the artisan part front the CG/informatic tools. . . lowering quality for quantity. . . They must reconsider some missuses, and pull on the animation to a new evolved level! |

Then sure. But if we take out those, the industry will truly be dead. That's why I was thinking of mixing it a bit. A lot of people wouldn't mind the Moe as long as the story is good. Like madoka for eg. Good story+Moe= to success! |
| Yawn, NGE was kind of boring anyways. It seems like famous artists just love to wallow in gloom and doom dementia as they get older (hi Franciso de Goya). |

Kagami_Hiiragi said: You could just DVD rip your collection and have a digital collection. I don't think digital will become the only source of buying anime considering how Japanese otakus snap up expensive DVDs and Blurays. I think digital will be more used to distribute anime in the west. We are actually already seeing it happen with streaming services like Crunchyroll and Funimation streaming newly aired anime.DrGeroCreation said: Japanese Blurays are too expensive for westerners.

| The Seventhstyle post seems to take some liberties with reporting what Anno said to say the least… I get the message though, from all the coverage. He may be right in some sense: that popular series are less original and 2D animation is harder to fund. I don't think it's realistic to think that anime will go away though, and I don't see anything coming that could make overall revenue decline as long as anime can be produced. Anime probably will adapt to change, although not all of us will like where it could go (mostly, to more 3D). BatoKusanagi said: Projecting much, Anno? Pretty much, I think. He might be a genius not in spite of his issues, but because of them, bless him. (He's like Van Gogh ^ _ -.) He said earlier this year that he's pretty depressed, again. I wonder if he is also seeing decline in change, as older (sorry, Anno!) people in any field tend to do. Yes, there've been shifts in production and distribution, but this the same in any medium anywhere in the world. I haven't gone through enough figures to say just what these changes look like, but stuff like more web series and more one cour TV series look like new opportunities, not decline. The average series aired today perhaps have less original stories than those of past decades, might be more homogeneous in their animation styles (looking at lists of airing TV anime from years in the 'golden age' makes me doubt this), and definitely are more influenced by the otaku audience. However, taking into account all anime that gets made, there's a lot more variety out there than ever before or anywhere else. To use biodiversity terminology, the evenness is high, but the richness is also high. You can't say that "stylistic" series such as Uchouten Kaizoku and Ping Pong make less than they used to, because unique, artistic series weren't made before, not as much as they are now. Anime today uses less key animation than that before, such that there is can be worse, and the sophisticated artistry and technique of Toei/Tezuka/Ghibli animators is fading (as portrayed in Shirobako with the story of Sugie). In-between and key animators are not paid enough, but this is a problem with low-level jobs across industries in Japan today that'll have to be solved nationally. As ANN has loudly pointed out lately, everyone 'higher up' than animators (including art directors, animation supervisors, etc.) is paid tolerably. (As for whether animation will increase in other countries in Asia, that wouldn't have to be Japan's loss…) Now, it's a bit ironic if Anno is saying there's a dearth of originality and inability to adapt while he's making Nihon Animator Mihonichi. He's shown that Japan has a lot of new directors and animators who can tell stories in original ways and create innovative animation—especially 3D animation. Nihon Animator's promoters definitely are going for the image of pointing toward a bright future rather than gazing sadly back at the past. Maybe, Anno just can't see the forest for the trees while managing Khara's projects. Perhaps, anime will increasingly just be 'Japan running in circles around its own game'. If it does, it won't be unique. All art and entertainment is pretty derivative, everywhere, and most stuff people make is unoriginal. (Anno's work, like anyone else's, draws heavily on that of others—think of all the inspiration Evangelion got from mecha series going back to Gundam, and how the concept of the Eva units came from Hayao Miyazaki's kyoshinhei. Being less derivative is not always a good thing, as Hollywood studios' paranoia about infringing rights demonstrates.) An anime industry that can just repeat the same tricks will be like today's Hollywood—less than it used to be, mostly boring, but definitely not dead and more capable of amazing work than ever. Even if popular anime will all be like Kancolle—shifted heavily toward 3DCGI and pandering to a specific audience—just as there still space for Wes Anderson among all the action sequels, there will still be room for Masaaki Yuasa and people like him.

| Anno can eat a dick. |

However, Mr. Anno does not think that this will mean an end to anime as an artistic form of film. He points out the possibility of the centres of anime production moving to other areas of Asia with good conditions. According to Mr. Anno's prediction, things like anime will definitely continue to exist across the world, but the demise to Japan being the heart of anime in the world is swiftly approaching. Well that's pretty much a positive outlook if you ask me. |
