Anime used to be an art in a sence that it invented its own symbolic language to carry different meanings, usually emotions and states of mind. Your picture is a good example of this.
Cinematographic techniques are also a symbolic language, althought a more subtle one, which carries some additional information about the events occuring or the whole "atmosphere" of the scene.
Nowadays anime has forgotten all about it. Modern anime doesn't remember that it was drawn and makes no use of this fact at all.
Modern western films are no better.
Japan completely fell for the realism meme. Sacrificing all the benefits and charm of simple art to look more professional while also catering to expectations from fans who only ever consume anime. So it gets incestuous too.
West, like the east, caters to the biggest source of money/exposure. For cartoons, it's autistic womanchildren. Men tend to just pirate everything and create rule34. While women pay for all subscription services, merch to decorate their rooms, and draw cutesy fanart on social media for free advertising.
You know you can still watch older anime, right?
Chance are there's some old stuff that you haven't seen, even if it's not, say, Cowboy Bebop tier, it could still be pretty good quality.
(NTA) >you can still watch old [thing]
It's the same excuse people make for any franchise going to trash.
The point is that we want new stuff, with modern tech and everything else but done in the old way we liked.
It's probably easier to find anime from the 90s that looks like anime from the 90s instead of hoping they'll revert.
That being said, I'm very much a "well it's new to me" kinda person. I watched the original gundam series for that reason and was surprised at how good it was. There's toyetic shit and some really shitty animation, but the writing's pretty damn good.
Why did they specifically choose a frame where it makes Disney's look moronic and expressionless compared to the edit where she's still asleep? At least let her eyes be closed in both versions.
No anime looked like that in the 1950's...
I think in terms of cartoony sleeping, Disney (and others) probably covered that base at an earlier point
Disney's Sleeping Beauty wasn't meant to be a comedy, as far as I know
I could make the same shit argument by taking a gritty muscular anime guy and redrawing him to look like Mickey Mouse
This is an apples to oranges comparisson
Was going to say anime doesn't use that face unless the character's young, but then I remembered she's supposed to be like 16 or something and that only a couple Disney princesses are adults.
The following redpill is gonna be hard for you to swallow. I invite you to watch the movie Manbiki Kazoku (Shoplifters) for a realistic impression of everyday Japanese life. Japan isn't clean, sparkly and odor-neutral like in your animes. The Japanese live like cattle on a farm, cramped into tiny one-room "apartments" that are filled to the brim with trash. The only reason you don't notice how dirty it is is because there's not enough room on the floor for piles of dirt and dust to form. They come home from shopping at a konbini and sit down at their floor-table thing without even washing their hands. They sleep in futons which they never wash (too big for a washing machine), they simply "air them out" every now and then. Yes, that's right, they sleep in their own fermented sweat and maybe piss until they buy a new futon. The summers in Japan are very hot and humid, yet the Japanese don't shower after getting home. They wipe their sweat into the furniture (which they never clean) and take turns in bathing in the same bathwater later at night. They slurp their ramen noodles for banmeshi and spill thick drops of grease everywhere. You can't even clean the floor properly since it's covered with tatami, mats made of flimsy rice weed, which are destroyed if you even step on them forcefully, let alone wipe them. They have no proper doors or windows, just paper-thin covers that slide to the side which are always open in summer, meaning the inside of their "homes" is teeming with insects. In winter they sit inside at a kotatsu in full winter clothing because they don't know about isolation in the 21st century.
Do I need to go on? I guess you're dizzy by now. "How could the country I adored for most of my adult life be such a backwater shithole?" I hear you squeal in disbelief. I know you weren't ready for this. But reality doesn't care about your feelings. I promise, you will be better off knowing this a few years down the road.
Anime
You’re a dumbass. Now run back to >>>Cinemaphile where you and your pedo friends can discuss which middle school anime girl is your waifu
Dilate.
They hated him for he spoke the truth
^
fpbp
true
well the second one is funnier but the first one is more dramatic.
I wish anime was still like that.
I wish I could go back but that an’t happening so here I’am 35 trying to take a breather before throwing my kid in the tub.
Me too.

Miyazaki was right
Miyazaki has never used emoji faces in his movies. He probably despises this codified shit.
>He probably despises this codified shit.
Does he hate moonrunes too?
Bottom one kek

I wish western animation only cattered to the neckbeards who like cartoons

It is, but you need to watch Megalo Box.
Trash second season that’s all about spics. Yes I know ashita no joe had a Brazilian as one of its main characters. He was a million times better

Literally Trigger animations does bottom and the last trigger animation was Cyberpunk you fricking idiots.
Yeah but Cyberpunk is overrated as hell.
no
Yes it fricking is that shit was everywhere on the internet for like a god damn month, it is not that good.
/co/ntr/a/rians never change
my absolute sides
Anime hasn't been like that for 20+ years
Literally, neither has Disney.
>Trigger
Mako is cute
I want every single anime to have Mako pantomime recaps
what happened?
Why did they specifically choose a frame where it makes Disney's look moronic and expressionless compared to the edit where she's still asleep? At least let her eyes be closed in both versions.
Because its out of context, literally something autistic people (who are the demographic that likes anime) lack the understanding of, everytime.
They're both completely soulless.
You're right, all animation sucks
The one with visual Zs beats anything else.

Do weebs really
She not even asleep in the Disney picture.
>east vs west thread
Australia
What a dogshit oversimplification of both mediums. So bad, even for an East vs West thread.
Made me chuckle, fanx.
>Bottom pic
>Pics you can hear
She ain't even sleeping in the Disney one
Everybody does the bottom one, when the character is a moron. That's literally part of the body language package.
Weab.
