art is subjective they say but at the same time those considered masterpiece are universally praise by critics for example and universal means objective in a way since its observed commonly so thoughts on the matter? i do not know (your vote) |

Objective masterpiece = something normies and real anime souls agree on. |

Here you go: > Good Anime + High Score = Objective Masterpiece > Good Anime + Mid Score = Subjective Masterpiece |

It's a mix of both. You look at technical aspects, the flow, the characters, the plot, that's objective. But at the end of the day, what determines a masterpiece is the opinion of a person, subjective that is. If a critic says this is a masterpiece but I disagree, does it mean it isn't a masterpiece? For me it definitely isn't, but what the other feels is otherwise and vice versa. |

I believe it is some mixture of both. Obviously, something can be objectively good, (well-done animation, good pacing, well-written dialogue, a thought-out story), but there still is and always will be a subjective degree, people have different life experiences and things they look to fiction for, so what in one story might be appealing and appreciated by one individual won't be the same for another. There are certainly anime that everyone can agree are bad and a waste of time, and there are also a certain group of anime that most people agree are great and worth watching, but I don't personally think there will ever be some purely objective criteria that everyone can agree upon that proves once and for all which anime is good and bad. |

It is subjective, but when it is widely recognized it becomes objective. |

The tldr of it is that there are standards people need to follow for something to work. No one just waltzes into a room, does something entirely random and can be expected to have their work treated as something that can fit anywhere on the line of quality. I'd be a fucking millionaire if that was the case. |

a masterpiece is show that is objectively great. but it being a 10/10 instead of a 9/10 or something is subjective. so its a mix of both. |

Love people who think as long as they attach a score to a breakdown of anime components it makes it "objective." Anyway, it's subjective, of course. |

Your criteria for saying something is a masterpiece is different from mine. ~~There is also the sample bias. Masterpiece comes from the idea that you do that and you are now fullfledged on your craft. Who is to say the comercial on strict budget anime with a small bugged is not a masterpiece work of some of its staff? All japanese studios are pros in their art. |

Everyone is biased regardless of what they say. Using mal we can in a democratic vote objectively say a highly rated anime is great or a masterpiece depending on how highly rated it is. At the end of the day everyone has different tastes and no one will 100% agree on anything so its fantastic we can discuss these topics and really get a broader idea of what constitutes as a good or bad anime. |

Although it should be objective, it's inevitable that some level of subjectivity creeps in, that's just the limitation. |

Even if the assessment contains quantifiable elements when we consider it as whole then the subjective elements plays the major role. |

Masterpiece when 1. Anime has a lot of fanbase 2. Anime get excellent score 3. Credibility that admitted by various source internationally So literally its objective at all, since any anime that can reach top 20 in anikore n MAL if doesnt fulfill it then its invalid like FMAB the number 1 forever LOL https://www.anikore.jp/pop_ranking/ kizumi91 said: Here you go: > Good Anime + High Score = Objective Masterpiece > Good Anime + Mid Score = Subjective Masterpiece IpreferEcchi said: sonotoriiiObjective masterpiece = something normies and real anime souls agree on. |

deg said: this standards you speak of is it the tropes and genres for example? like battle shonen is a gold standard for the anime industry? nah, even simpler. just good storytelling skills (like no plot holes), good characterisation skills, good animation technique (no off-model and the likes). ------- Lincanfer said: And may I ask who sets those standards you talk about. First of all what's that criteria you even talking about? That so called standards are different for different people. Art is subjective. I don't get how people think it is objective. Even if the assessment contains quantifiable elements when we consider it as whole then the subjective elements plays the major role. Standards that are based on what works and what doesn't, which are usually tied to criteria that are based on animators of the past who understood what makes a good animation good. Also tying in writers because it's not just plain animation at the end of the day. These "different people" happen to be the most knowledge in the field. Even if they were spouting nonsense, they wouldn't be as successful as they were because nonsense doesn't really work well with people. I don't think objective is something people look at correctly. No one is exactly saying everything is based on the holy anime blueprint for all of anime, but rather, there are different ways to achieve similar levels of successful anime. I like to point out to large companies as an example. Shit like Apple, McDonald's and Disney are all different things yet have achieved huge success from good decisions made by expert businessmen (or so I'd like to think so). Anime has the same logic in that so long as people are using great ideas in intelligent ways, then you can have good anime. If not objective then at the very least, it is absolute. |

there is dada, abstract expressionist art, naive/outsider art, "primitive" art, zen ink painting, and so on.. to most people a urinal is not a piece of art, yet "fountain" is still in a museum. people look at a jackson pollock painting and say "i could've made that, why is it in a museum?" and a common dismissive response is "but you didn't!" part of the irony of these work though is that anyone really *could* make them, but they still go for absurd amounts of money in auctions and hang in museums and critics clamor over them because they are "conceptual." it takes these kinds of works to reveal how art functions. if you consider the object itself, it's just a urinal (or even more truthfully, a hunk of porcelain) or splatters of paint on canvas. the idea that it's conceptual art is a pure projection. and that reveals all one needs to understand about art: a work of art is an object, a surface that the viewer projects their beliefs and feelings onto. we believe the object contains some hidden mystery, a hidden fount from which it draws out its aesthetic appeal, a hidden meaning. it doesn't. there is no such thing as a universal set of standards for art or beauty, and i would say it's a bit too simplistic to dismiss the embrace of those disparate movements in art as "reactionary" to some truer or more natural, classical standard. everyday people stand in front of rothko or barnett newman paintings and cry just like everyday people do at the ceiling of the sistine chapel. there are canonical "masterpieces" by one set of standards that don't qualify by another. most people would probably have to agree that someone like norman rockwell is a "good artist," as in technically capable, and certainly a producer of iconic works. but plenty of artists and critics find his style and subject matter absolutely uninteresting. outside of classical art and revivals of those values (like in renaissance or neoclassical art) the idea of conventional aesthetic perfection is pretty much *universally* challenged. the constructed standards people come up with by which to judge different types of art are intersubjective, and so the judgment of how precisely a work meets those standards is subjective as well. with anime, we don't really have these various competing movements and schools of thought with varying sets of standards. there are only the standards and aims of the industry, which doesn't simply care about providing a forum where freely making art is possible. kyoani, shaft and science saru are realistically far more similar than they are different. anime fans do not seem to take well to art that follows standards that are vastly different from those of their beloved anime industry daddy: to be pleasing, trendy, goodlooking, easy to understand, etc. (and what these words even means depends on the audience you're selling to. old anime aren't goodlooking to young people. older people cannot always easily understand contemporary pop culture references and ethical choices.) just look at how some independent animations on here are rated. look at how any marginally abstract or obtuse work with a few obscure references gets accused of being "fake deep" or "trying to be smart." it seems like people are uncomfortable with the idea of things they don't know about or understand existing in the world, so they want their entertainment to hide all evidence of it, rather than bring it to their attention. such works aren't following the typical standards the anime industry prescribes for its products, because they don't try to be. maybe a masterpiece is a work of art that is provocative or displeasing. well, you won't find those very much in anime. so if we're saying these works can't be in the running to be called masterpieces, we're just saying "the anime industry's standards are the best." which i disagree with, personally! |

personally it only ever becomes objective when certain criteria or rubrics are strictly enforced by people with credentials. that way, it guarantees the credibility since they're seasoned veterans who're most familiar in the fields. otherwise masterpiece is a subjective judgement, not to mention divisive too. as for general consensus, it's not reliable determinant to be considered objective, but it does have the advantage to strongly support the work. |
