Did animation peak in the 1990s or not?

>>116310653
umm are you watching ubw?

>>116310663
yeah. did you watch 90s anime?

No, but Japan's economy did, so as a result animation from there has suffered

>>116310663
UBW is not even comparable to Ghost in the Shell in terms of animation. UBW's animation is not that good, 90% of it are sfx

It peaked when Kyoani released Hyouka.

>>116310653
Red line.

>>116310653
yes, and it declined with the end of cell-based animation.

Kaguya-hime came out over the past year so no.

What decade did FLCL come out again?

Ping Pong came out over the past year, so, No.

>>116310858
Early 2000s.

>>116310663
You type like a faggot. Fuck off.

>>116310858
turn of the century

>>116310653
No, but your mom did.

You got that right.

>tfw nothing will ever surpass Fantasia's animation

Not in general. Though I think the high budget stuff from the 90's have better animation and looks better than most of the high budget stuff from today.

But I dunno, might be the artstyles tricking me or something.

>>116310653
those evangelion rebuilds look good.

>>116311044
This movie gave me my first nightmare at the age of 4 years old. Thank you Disney.

is any sci-fi ever going to top GITS? makes me kinda sad something at its level hasn't been released in a while

>>116311044
Ah fuck, now it's stuck in my head again.

>>116311124
The animation in them is utter shit compared to EoE.

>>116311368
Lain already did.

>>116310663
this is certainly a troll but
this new generation is hilarious

>>116311368

GitS is unique, no one can do it again, is like Evangelion or FLCL

>>116311391
>The animation in them is utter shit compared to EoE.
The same movie filled with shitty and misplaced live action shots, reused animation from the TV series, QUALITY, etc.? The only good looking sequence was the impact itself the rest looked barely above average especially in comparison to other movies at the time

>>116311544
You don't know anything shut your shit trap.

>>116311446
This, Lain was the peak of anime sci-fi.

Texholynze and Ergo Proxy were pretty great though. I'd consider them modern classics.

>>116311391
EoE was barely even animated and it came out in the same year as Princess Mononoke and looked like shit in comparison. People only used the Asuka fight as highlight but the model for the Eva 02 was so inconsistent that it looked like a blob.

>>116311481
Thank Mamoru Oshii for that. I hope he makes more animated films.

>>116311391
At least the EVAs in the Rebuilds are consistent in scale.

This is the peak of japanimation.

>>116311619
What the fuck are you talking about. The model being inconsistent has nothing to do with animation. They could've animated a potato instead of unit 02 but that wouldn't mean the animation quality would be any less.

And of course it looked worse than a Ghibli movie; the same goes for pretty much any anime.

>>116311864

Oh look another retard

>>116311864

Are you fucking stupid?

>>116311864
>The model being inconsistent has nothing to do with animation.
Why do you think QUALITY exist?

Seriously the movie is not that impressive visually outside the last sequence.

>>116311901
Good argument faggot. Models=/=animation. Masaaki Yuasa must be a horrible animator going by your logic.

The 90s sure were great. Good tiems.

>>116312026
>Masaaki Yuasa must be a horrible animator going by your logic.
He is. Only hipster faggots give a shit about him.

>>116311864
>>116312026
I bet you defended the Pain episode in Naruto too.

>>116312081
Anyone who knows how to appreciate animation would. It's not perfect, but the episode was filled with many well-animated shots.

>>116310751
Which only made like 12 million yen in Japan, and is financially a failure. :/

Why do nips have such shit taste?

>>116310703
>movie vs TV series
Even in the 90s this was a shit comparison. 90s TV series like Bebop aren't especially amazing animation-wise over current "big" anime.

>>116312081
Only faggots who know nothing of animation think that the Pain episode was bad animation.

It looked like shit and it was out of place for that scene, but looking purely at the animation it was pretty impressive.

>90s TV series like Bebop aren't especially amazing animation-wise over current "big" anime.
Oh wait you're serious

>>116312222
Nice visuals, but there's no impressive hand-drawn animation there.

>>116312054
Literally retarded.

I don't really care that much about how animation changed but I really fucking miss the way effects used to look in older anime. Digital ones are easier to produce and sometimes they do look impressive but it's not the same.

The late 80s and early 90s had some god-tier animation.

>>116310653
Indeed.

>>116312447
Man, the Circus loses its novelty after a while. If you've seen it once, you've seen them all.

Yes, because then there were actually three skilled cartoon directors active in Japan.
Oshii, Kon and Anno
