why does every isekai niqqa nowaday look like kirito? kirito isn't even in this image uygha
>>28640because the point of those shows are the girls, everything else is a device
and they are more enjoyable without subtitles, regardless of if you know japanese or not
>>28642many of the character in that pic have long training arcs, what are you talkin about. if anything, they continue the dbz thing of portraying training as some sort of transcendental, cathartic experience
and not the quite scientific and chill process that it is irlanime is romantic when done right and gothic when done wrong, those are the only two styles the format supports
>>28643I’ll admit. I didn’t watch any of those shows because I cannot stand how stereotypically cliche they are in their visual design and from what I’ve heard about them. One thing that made dragon ball stand out is that the majority of the people that worked in that series look and fight as if they were working at all. Kirito starts off looking like a self insert and ends off fighting and looking like a self insert. Goku looks like he murdered the gym.
Then there’s the romantic subplots that go no where, bad and honestly pretty gross fan service scenes, female characters assaulting people for no reason as a gag (fuck Sakura by the way), harems that add nothing to the plot, sword swings and punches that involve over winding and telegraphing, anime haircuts and nonhuman eye colours, excessive monologuing and backstories that make the pacing of each episode slow as hell, screaming in general,
This list is long and somehow all of those shows have all of those flaws appear at some point in them rather consistently. I just want a show like berserk or dragon ball that doesn’t feel overly infantile and catered towards middle aged manchildren
>>28647>>28647>solo levelling get anime of the year i never heard of this anime until a couple of days ago i saw a article about how it wasnt well recieved by japanese audiences, so im assuming it got an award by some western weeb group.
>>28647>Japanese citizens view anime as genuinely for children evidence for this claim?
i think your view is clouded by your experiences with an american audience, you need to understand the average american weeb is literally no different than a capeshit fan, they often just want to be seen as hipsters who appreaciate foreign culture, but even then theres a huge overlap.
>>28648Yeah, crunchy roll gave it that award and I have yet to see a different company provide a different metric.
As for your comment on Japanese perspectives on anime, there’s a lot of examples, but I’ll just take this article to start:
https://www.cjas.org/~leng/perceive.htm?utm_source=chatgpt.comThat’s not to say that it isn’t popular across all age groups, but it desperately needs something less infantile to change its reputation
>>28652I’m complaining about the fact that the majority of anime made today fall victim to
>romantic subplots that go no where, bad and honestly pretty gross fan service scenes, female characters assaulting people for no reason as a gag (fuck Sakura by the way), harems that add nothing to the plot, sword swings and punches that involve over winding and telegraphing, anime haircuts and nonhuman eye colours, excessive monologuing and backstories that make the pacing of each episode slow as hell, screaming in generalI don’t entirely remember what anime from the 80s and 90s were like, I know that things weren’t perfect, but I don’t remember low quality anime produced back then somehow having all the problems I listed today. The scene in that medium is looking bad with few exceptions.
>>28655What the hell. I don’t think anyone watched evangelion or Naruto (at least for a time) for fanservice scenes as much as it was seeing people learn to develop a sense of self confidence in their own self made identity and learning to earn the respect of others through hard work and dedication—well at least before shippuden spat on what little Naruto actually did work for.
>>28657Honestly jt really wasn’t that bad. We got a lot of good stuff being released during the 2000s including lain, DBZ, hxh when it was still up, FMA, gundam peaking, and a lot of other good shit drowning out the filth. 2010 was uniquely awful since it was kind of a dead point and I can remember a lot of people in the anime community genuinely saying that the medium died for how bland everything was getting.
>>28656>>28653>>28651>Non human hair/eye colors and anime haircuts are cringeNgmi
Also alot of the problems you listed were a thing in the 80s and 90s as well
>I just want a show like berserk or dragon ball that doesn’t feel overly infantile and catered towards middle aged manchildrenDragon Ball is just a boring fight fest like the problems you described
>>28648>evidence for this claim?Back in my college days when DBZ was a thing, I had this Japanese roommate. I asked him if he wanted to watch it with us. His response was, "That is for kids."
Sure, it can target some adults, but the majority is for children/teens man. Fucking obvious as fuck.
>>28675Based on my many conversations with him, he was not particularly interested in anime in general. Even when I mentioned to him mature-themed animes of that time, i.e., Ghost in the Shell, Akira, and Record of Lodoss War, he briefly mentioned that not all, if not most, Japanese dont really watc anime. They read it, but it's not like it's massively accepted by most adults. He was mostly interested in getting smashed.
Later in life, I met another Japanese guy who lived alone in Oakland that I've met during my early career in banking. That guy, in particular, did not care about anime and was not even remotely interested in discussing it.
The way I see it is that manga is sort of there, and they read it. It's just something to do for that time, but it's not like they make it their whole personality or care about it. Anime is just something to watch kinda like Saturday morning cartoons. I myself over time dramatically stopped watching or following anime.
I believe as you get older, you acquire other interests . As a 39-year-old man, anime is not even interesting anymore.
>>28678That's a stupid ass analogy, but you do you.
As he clearly stated, most adults don't watch anime, and it's frowned upon. You're clearly a butt-hurt weeb who can't accept the fact that most people grow out of childish things.
>>28679Anon, Id hate to see how you'd react to seeing how many millennials are still watching anime
>>28680Not unlike western TV being based on other western TV.
Imo this is somewhat hypocritical sentiment.
>>28683>Low brown filth of modern anime>Slice of lifeNgmi
>>28645>>28666Digibro didn't die, she just transitioned and changed her channel name twice.
Her channel is still up and she is still making videos. She is now trixie the golden witch.
>>28640Isekai is measurably the laziest and most derivative genre of anime. Wasn't there also one isekai that just straight-up reused a background from an entirely different one?
I would be embarrassed to like shit like this, the people who make them clearly just do not give a single fuck and have zero respect for the audience, in fact they work on the assumption that the audience consists only of trash goblins who'll eat anything they're fed. What does it say about you if you can be entertained this easily?
>>28684Maybe for the west. But when I talk to Japanese people, at least the one's I've met. They could care less about anime.
They do read Manga tho.
