The third EVA rebuild was the best, if you don't agree you can go suck a lemon

Gholy said:
Probably not the best examples, since those three examples are based off older manga.

Are you actually serious or is this reply a joke, because the original comment was clearly a joke


3.0 gets a lot of undeserved hate,in my opinion.
It was interesting take on Eva,but I guess most of the people expected it to be action-packed like 2.0.

Anime is what the japanese especially use for entertainment. It can't possibly die out. Another reason IT can't die out is because of the large fan base it has.

As long as there is still manga being produced, then I can deal with anime disappearing for good.

That's his opinion. As long as good manga is being made then there's no reason why that should happen.

Yup, there's still a lot of good manga out there. The only problem is that they're not getting adapted because production committee says moe will sell more.

Anno sounds like the Harold Camping of anime apocalypse theorists...just keeps predicting the death of anime as we know it...but that end will never come.

Seriously, he's so full of shit that even he can't believe the stuff he's spewing. Anime has been around for a pretty long time and it's at the height of popularity. Of course, anime will evolve over the next 5-20 years, but it will in no way die out.

And i say this to someone like anno, if you think this way, DO FUCKING SOMETHING ABOUT IT, you have the power to try and make something you deem stand out but instead are cashing in on the success of a series he made 20 years ago. You have no right to complain about a lack of original concepts in the industry if you yourself are a part of the problem

Eh I guess I'm just not bothered by lack of originality at least in genres I like as much as others are.

If an anime embodies the tropes of a certain genre and does it well it's just as good as an original series of the same quality in my mind.

That's assuming nothing changes during those 5-20 years.

Industry's in their death knell try some crazy things to stay afloat when their death is imminent. Maybe the anime industry will actually make their DVD's affordable to people outside the Japanese economy.

The reason prices are so high is because there's less people in Japan, and that's the only market they care about. So since they have less potential purchasers to cover development costs, the prices need to be higher. Once they are more accepting of foreign fans, things will change - alot.

No the problem he specifically states is that people are toos carred to take risks and make new original stuff, if hes sitting on his ass rehashing shit he did 2 decades ago he is the very problem itself. Hes showing that you can make easy money off of past success rather than risk making something new failing

I don't think it will die. However I think studio's producing generic LN adaptions and expecting them to sell is going to stop. Good quality anime's will continue to sell and lure in the people.

Anno has said similar things 10 years ago and it still hasn't happened. I honestly think he's perhaps just butthurt that the Rebuild series didn't do as good as he expected.

I don't think anime is dying. Rather, the medium itself has it's highs and lows which can be measured on a seasonal basis. People will pick out the "best of the best" when it comes to old anime without looking at the vast majority of the other crap made in the same time period and compare it to all the newer anime, instead of their own greatest shows. Criteria like that leads to distorted views on old vs new shows.

Did you really just compare Anno (A guy who constructed a psychological masterpiece of an anime, while he was in a depression, that will be debated forever) to a racist white supremacist with a stick up his ass that will never achieve anything other than spreading hate while sitting on on a chair forever.

It doesn't matter if what he says and predicts has/will be right. Anno is allowed to say whatever he wants on the industry because of what he's contributed to it, I mean this nigga and his team created a whole character archetype with Rei that would be copied forever.

"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."

This is what he stated and it is based on assumption and not actual fact. To me it is scare tactics and nothing more

I fail to see the problem even if anime really dies out. It's not like there aren't tons of finished anime from different time periods to go around.
With that in mind, I couldn't care less. And if I run out of anime to watch and I am still interested in their mediums of entertainment, there's always manga, LNs, VNs and games, man! Games!

And also, these words are coming from a dude who's made cash-in fanservice movies of his own series.

Though, I have feeling he is causing a panic to anime industry which means it is more of a advertising scheme than actually anime is collapsing. Furthermore prediction is far from being factual information

It's changing, but it's not really dying.

It's an animation genre, and as long as there are stories to tell and great artists out there (writers, artists, directors, musicians, voice actors), anime will never die.
