Honestly I think the biggest factor in how anime looks also comes from the direction, directors have improved a lot over the years and have started having their own style and that benefits the anime's quality greatly, I tend to find older anime kinda boring because of weak direction more so than weak animation/art.

What do you mean by awkward? To me, I don't have a line from where anime started looking good. I'd say 2006-2007, but Claymore looks like poop and GitS SAC, just checked, almost looks like it's made today despite being a madafaking 2003 anime.

I don't think age has as much a limitation as you're saying. Sure, if we stretch back to the 70s and early 80s, most anime looked pretty primitive, but that doesn't stop it from being high-quality if the work is put in.

If you look at modern anime, a large amount looks plike 'poop'. Backgrounding and colourin is easier now, so that's an advantage with digital, but 'poor' looking anime is still common, unless you're using some other barameter for 'good looking' such as artstyles, or video quality.

I think I have more of a casual view towards this matter. I can appreciate 80s great animation and everything but I still won't consider it good looking ( most of the times ). And you're right, today tons of anime have low quality art and animation, but they still look more or less good. Sometimes very good art can make up for lack of good animation and vice versa.

Though I never really cared about the art, I can watch anything.

I think I follow where you're coming from, but I'm not sure why you're saying we can't compare older hand-drawn with contemporary anime.


Okay, we can compare hand drawn anime to digital anime. But what I'm saying is I don't think it's justified considering the difference in technology between the two styles. Hand drawn animation is much more personal - it is done by hand after all, whereas digital is more conventional.

Well just to ass something to the conversation, i think the early 2000's had a bizarrely weird drop in qualit in terms of animation and general look. im not sure what it is but i feel like theres alot of really washed out and ugly looking shows, i guess its cause this was when everyone had fully made the jump to full on digital coloring and everything but i feel like it wasnt until about maybe 2005 and up or so that things started looking less ugly. That said there are still some gems from that animation wise such as FMA or GITS
I do think he shows I remember from around 2000 did have that washed out sort of look. Ugliness-wise, I think part of it is due to the particular simplified character-look that came out of the 90s but before we went full-fledged rounded moe-sort.

That's an interesting thing to say. You might be right, with how any director now can more easily put things together thanks to digital editing, compared to older days, when often being a distinctive director requires being a head animator or being particulary hands-on.

Though I never really cared about the art, I can watch anything.
So I'm not sure I'm getting you right completely with the bolded parts, but I'm guessing you mean "low quality" as in undetailed art? If so, I think that's not necessarily a major issue when it comes to looking good, personally. A lot of old-lovers do expouse a lot about the lack of detail in modern stuff as opposed to the shaded and many haired characters of old 80-90s, but when I think of 'quality' art in anime, I tend to think of being on-model and consistency. So that does tie back to what you're saying about 'good art making up for a lack of good animation'.

I do wonder if you genuinely 'don't care' about art though, because from what you've said, your aesthetic preferences do come into your judgement of things here, and I think that's inescapable for most of us. Then again, if we become familairised with the particular era's prevailing artstyles or a particular show's designs, then it tends to becom a non-issue, true. So it's probably a more subtle and negligible issue that comes up when we start comparing shows and discussing animation.

I hope I"m not coming acrosss as frustratingly anal or anything, but I've not really worked out my thoughts on this stuff either, so I'm getting something out of this even if it seems I'm being a pointlessly stubborn dog.

yeah eva has a huge antifanbase usually from elitists and just normal watchers. Though i bet you part of EVA's hate comes from the fact its fanbase for the longest fucking time would lable anything slightly similar to it as a rip off even though eva in and of itself was paying homage to older super robot shows just with a modern touch and featured even some of the same psychological aspects as them just handled better in eva.

Also i love it when people try to claim eva is hipster, its arguably one of the most successful anime....just in general really.

I like how Eva was his big "fuck you" to anime fans yet they bought every last copy of it.
"I sure wanted to quit this shitty job but people just won't fucking let me, fuck them, now I'll make movies which are even worst than the original, that'll teach them!"

The worst thing with popular anime is how the 'good' and 'bad' arguments get steretyped, and even when they're pretty valid lines of arguing, it does tire the whole thing out, and then there's the common extreme where people pull the blind fan or hater card.

It does get frustrating and rather mimetic - on the main and excited subforums, for example.
