Isao Takahata on Makoto Shinkai:
"He manipulates the hearts of socially inept young people"
From a newly-uncovered review of Hoshi no Koe:
I did not appreciate it at all, I think it's just a "tricky" one-sided deception for young people. But it seems to have tickled and touched the heartstrings of today's socially inept youth through its clever expression, so it sold well and won several awards. In short, the author was one of those who, by becoming a creator himself, succeeded in "living in reality without graduating from or escaping from such a world," and was supported by young people who did not want to "graduate" or "confirm their own non-growth," and this whole phenomenon was supported by the "information media industry" and its promoters.
I must hasten to say that this is an evaluation at this stage, and it is quite possible that the author, who has started on the path of an artist, will begin to create more socially conscious works in the future, thanks to his social life.
Isao Takahata, "Animation, Occasionally" (Iwanami Gendai Bunko, p. 208)
I personally find it weird . /tv/ hates nu-cinema, /pw/ hates nu-wrestling and even /sp/ admits soccer isn't what it used to be. But the anime fandom (be it /a/ or /r/anime) is the only community that defends nu-slop to this extent. Sure, there are some detractors but people nowhere what's happening in other media.
Funnier still is the right wing faction within the anime community . Amongst other things I've seen
1. Western weebs who want to protect precious Japan from the savage third worlders, Jews and wokes.
2. Third world weebs who want to protect precious Japan from the degenerate capitalist westoids, Jews and wokes.
Any criticism of nu-anime often gets you clumped together with either group .
Anyway, the anons in those threads are absolutely malding .

Anime makers used to have real life experiences. Current anime makers literally only consume anime, make anime, and jerk off to anime.
Same probably in the West with media. Scriptwriters and directors used to have real life experiences. Nowadays the weirdos making shit don't have any life experiences outside of their little curated bubble.
