Could Sovietist Japan prevent this?

here's some incredibly boring vibes analysis Anonymous 20-12-24 20:17:08 No.26409

It feels like the nipponese animation industry will never get back to 2005-2010 level quality. Looking through seasons from back then, it seems as though most anime were held to a much higher standard of creative quality compared to the past 2 years at least. There were 20-30 anime released per season, instead of literally fucking 50. And the worst of otaku slop was relegated to a few shows per season, instead of having like 40% of shows be the most boring romcom you can imagine or some variant of narou-style litrpg fantasy. The kind of decent premise and execution we see in the best anime today was normal for the time. And I'm not sure if this is a recent trend, but original anime and adaptations tend to do terribly in terms of audience reception, the otaku slop actually works in capturing fots audiences.
The worst part is, all of this is happening against the backdrop of the extreme exploitation faced by japanese animators. They're being made to release 50 anime per season, and most of it won't become something that will be remembered past the end of its run time.

The anime industry in general has had a profitability crisis for a while now, so yeah quality is probably going to keep trending downwards.

The ecchi genre should be more than it is Anonymous 02-04-26 00:05:15 No.29998[Reply]

Anime is pretty much the only place today where you can make high-budget, high-production art where sex is a major focus, without becoming outright pornography. There's a lot you could do with that. There should be more erotic thrillers, or gritty dramas about the psychology of sex, or trippy surreal erotica, and really just anything more interesting than mid action with jiggly boobs or comedies that mostly come down to "oh noes I accidentally groped her boob!" I'm not saying there isn't anything that stands out, every few years something does, the Fujiko Mine anime is a recent example of something that felt pretty fresh, but for all the money and attention that gets poured into this genre, it feels like the ambition is almost null.

Since the board is slow, (and my adhd stuggle to post on near-dead boards), let's do a general discussion thread of what you've been reading/watching.
Similar to the /tv/ thread on hobby.

I'll start:
Manga: Kingdom
It's alot of fun, currently on chapter 430.
Despite the restriction of it being in the past, there's alot of strategy/complication that makes it interesting to read.

And the manga is fun in the fact that it has shoenin level power clashing and hyping of characters – but still respects reality.
Like a character being healed after a fight is explained by months or even years of a time skip, or when situations where "talk-no-jutsu" would've occurred in shoenin, instead the person ranting is just meant to understand the world more before they die.

I am reading some others as well, like: Vinland Saga, One Piece, Watamote, and a few others – just been alittle addicted to Kingdom.
(I should catch up with One Piece though.. I'm 110 chapters behind with it).

I tried reading kingdom a couple of years ago and it pissed me off that I got suckered into reading a shounen power scaling manga when I expected a seinen.
I got to the part where Xin was sustaining life ending blows back to back and he just wills himself to go on for his friends. Yawn.

"Cheap hack of a writer's guide to creating a morally ambigous antagonist:"
>Have a character be a smug self-centered asshole for 80% of the story
>Have him ally with the main baddie and commit some war crimes
>Have him turn on the main baddie after realising that the main baddie had killed their favorite dog (or is going to kill their favorite dog soon)
>Help the main characters for one or two scenes and then be killed by the main baddie

recently a lot of people been criticizing fujimoto for his abrupt ending of chainsaw man. things have really gone to shit w his drawings as well as well as the quality of his story. a lot of people, even casual story analysts, are blaming Fujimoto and thats part of the problem but its not even the main problem. Part 2 has been going down hill since the beginning and especially when Fujimoto changed to a weekly schedule. Most likely pressure from the manga industry and editors themselves pressuring Fujimoto and his team to pump out moar and moar content at an accelerated pace. There was a moment where it was picking up steam but Fujimoto kind of fumbled that too and the entire story has been a kind of uncomfortable daze that fits with rather suitable(unfortunately) with the massive levels of exploitation necessary to pump out such garbage at a fast rate. i remember i felt disgust when people were cheering online at Chainsaw man being published weekly.
