>We see ourselves as creators of “animated films”… “Anime” is more of a genre. When the term “anime” first appeared outside Japan, most of the films associated with it were sexual or violent. We would like to avoid misunderstanding. We want our films to be seen by a wider audience.
Is this true? Is anime a style? Why do serious professionals like Yoshiaki Nishimura or Hayao Miyazki reject the label of anime for something more neutral?

Yes anime is its own style, early Japanese animation up to the 60s/70s like astro boy would not be considered anime yet but 90% of japanimation afterwards definitely would
What are the features of this post 70s style?
Mainly just character designs with the big expressive eyes/faces (in manga also), their ethnic/racial ambiguity for the most part, plus the various visual tropes unique to anime (the nosebleed, the sweat drop, the forehead vein etc)
Fred Flintstone alone has a better character design and 100x more SOUL than all of tranimes history of characters and jap trash designs.
Anime is a specific type of medium
Just to take the bait: why Stalker, Half Life, SMASH Melee, half that shit?
I assume most of it is "there is a character who doesn't dress like a man" but can't figure out those
Gays think everything is gay
All played by speedrunners, who also Speedrun in life
Did Link from the "can you stop" video transition yet?
The one with the woman knitting in the audience?
They look physically ill and mentally ill before their unpassable transformations into creepy perverts.
That fatass on the right looked more femine before going trans KEK
i have 1000 hours in new vegas and i've never wanted to cut my balls off
Two more weeks and you will
trannies ruin everything, claiming random media as "tranniecore"
These creatures are insufferable.
I don't give a frick about trannies or video games. This thread is about film animation.
i cant stand anime's squeaky fricking voices- i cannot watch that gay shit. only good one i ever watched was lupin
Anime is fricking disgusting and unwatchable from many factors, the awful immature screaming is a huge one.
Also the whole non-stop run on talking without any animation occurring makes it unbearable to watch. The dialogue is terrible as well, almost every response is a question when two or more characters are talking. Also dudes who are friends talk to each other like they frick off screen. Anime dialogue and be summed up as non-stop questions and non-stop compliments.
Anime is for manchildren with no standards.
Don't forget that it's mostly created by them as well. How are you going to get an interesting story out of some young person with no life experience other than drawing?
agreed anon, agreed.
Wow, you must have watched tons of anime to write this hit piece on the entire medium
Got examples?
How to spot capeshit gays:
hahahaa no
you're assuming that anyone who disagrees with you must be the hated enemy, which does sort of sound like something you see in an anime
Yes, Marvel movies are superior to anime. Does anime have compelling story-telling and character development? NO. Does anime have highly-qualified, convincing and talented actors? NO. Does anime have moral lessons that not only strengthen the character development but also the watcher themselves? NO. Fiction is greater than non-fiction, but fiction that is hard to tell from non-fiction is infinitely superior to drawn fiction. Anime is not realistic.
>why yes, I do make blanket statements about media I have never watched. how could you tell?
you are one stupid motherfricker
Anime is a genre or medium
The "serious professionals" don't want to be lumped in with something like Sword Art Online. It's like how Scorcese hates capeshit even though both are movies.
>Sword Art Online
Why is this shit even popular? With the same setting, Log Horizon or Overlord is infinitely better
>be the only medium that dare make romance for men
>NOOOOOOOOOOO YOU CAN'T DO THAT
Cucked.
>tranime
It's because Miyazaki's generation is a different breed. Anime was we call it today was called manga eiga for many decades when Miyazaki was young and went to see them in theaters. There's a distinct cutoff in philosophy between the guys who made anime in the 50s-70s and the otaku who joined in from the late 70s onward. The former is influenced by western animations and literature, the latter is inspired by Tezuka, Tomino and Dezaki's limited animation TV anime. Anime was a french loan word that Tezuka and otaku took upon to separate japanese animation from the rest of the world.
Anime is something that should be posted on Cinemaphile, not on Cinemaphile. Now you know. You're welcome, newbie.
They're talking more about the perception the term has outside of Japan rather than it's actual definition.
