Katsuhiro Otomo:

>"I don't really like the art style of most anime these days, the ones that appeal to otaku tastes. So that means I don't watch much modern anime."

Mamoru Oshii:

>"I'm not watching anything. There are zero titles I'm interested in. I mean, I'm over 65. Trying to get into anime aimed at young people is impossible. That's true for Japanese films in general, not just anime. Everything is made for a young audience."

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 :marseyshrug: . /tv/ hates nu-cinema, /pw/ hates nu-wrestling and even /sp/ admits soccer :marseydrum: 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 :wingcucks:. 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 :marseybrainlet:.

Anyway, the anons in those threads are absolutely malding :marseycopeseethedilate:.

!kino !anime enjoy :marseyagree:.

Tbf anime has always had a bizarre fandom.

I'd put most of it down to anime fans being socially inept pariahs.

Were I to dig deeper, I might point to the fact that anime fans are fans of a specific form of video. That's a very peculiar thing to be a fan of.

It's recursive fiction that gets further and further away from reality with each iteration. The thing is that otaku hate reality so that's the point. Weird that normie zoomers are starting to get swept up in it

Its effected everything. The whole gimmick of Spider-Man in the swinging 60s was Peter was a real kid who suffered real problems unlike the perfect cleaned up DC heroes. Now the spider-man movies are a self recursive string of multiverse slop and literal copies of a copy. Fiction has become universally about itself.

Media is experiential welfare and we're having issues with welfare dependency

Reality into symbol into simulacrum. The viewer could step out at any moment, but they hold the construction as superior ("3DPD") and even hope it destroys reality ("Can't wait until artificial wombs and realistic gynoid models make roasties obsolete", and to a lesser extent, VTubers).

Not that surprising, we have our own versions with comic books, pro wrestling, high fantasy, etc. Theyre just getting into the foreign versions just like a subset of american pop fans are now into KPop instead.

Its all slop anyways

(but no i wont give up my dramatic fake fighting even if it is slop, everybody's got a vice)

reality is the best source of inspiration. Base your villains on real evils like people who force me to say palestinian lives matter like @MoonMetropolis who is a fat male feminist devil man

This isn't a TRVTHNVKE, it's a TRVTHHYDRVGENBVMB.

Up until some point in the early 00s most weebshit from Japan was written by authors who were somewhat grounded in real experiences. Nowadays even the real experiences that Jap authors draw on are submerged in the recursive layers of weebshit culture that's managed to become the standard over there. Even in older anime like Evangelion you could see the start of it all.

It's an increasing feature of society, people use media as a form of emotional regulation, outsourcing certain parts of basic human satisfaction to artificial fulfillment. Podcasts offer simulated friendships, porn offers simulated sexual relationships, certain video games offer simulated purpose and place. These have a tendency to spiral into a universe increasingly separate from reality. Hikkimori(including alot of Otaku) are unique in outsourcing everything to media. Most people just use it as a crutch for the things there missing which is an increasing problem.

They're palestinian lives matter believers and should be all r*ped by big black men like @MoonMetropolis was.
