Why don't anime characters age between seasons? Is it really

Right, they should all age like The Simpsons, or Family Guy, or South Park, and every other cartoon.

>>137436094
It depends on how much time is passing in the story.

>>137436136
cartoon isnt anime though, it's a lot more real and mature. there is a seinen audience for example

>>137436094
Holy shit is that really the same man?

>>137436528
Yep.
Drugs, anon drugs.

even in stories where a lot of time passes, the characters dont age

>>137436915
For example?

Ed got taller in FMA:B

and Winry's boobs

>>137436974
Naruto.
Bleach.
One Piece.
Fairy Tail.

>>137436094
Anime get timeskips but most creators seem scared to have main characters not in their teens.

>>137436136
Those shows run on a completely different basis than the usual 3 year high school anime. Either the series has a timeline set, then you should let your characters grow once in a while, or you're doing an endless series and only let your art style make them more mature as you become more crafted.

>>137437110
but naruto started as a 10 years old brat and is now a familyman, how did he not age?

>>137437110
One Piece only had 6 months passed until the timeskip in which Luffy grow up quite a bit, mainly due to Oda's evolving style.
Bleach didn't have much time passing either iirc.
Naruto isn't that different until the timeskip, not even a year passing.
Who the fuck even cares about Fairy Tail.

The entire first half of One Piece takes place in like a few months at most
Then a two year timeskip where pretty much everyone clearly changes
Then it's only been like a few weeks after the timeskip

YES

>3 or 4 years
Yes, you stupid motherfucker. Unless you are going for a hyper realistic style you should have a lot of trouble portraying the subtle changes that happen over such a short time span in cartoon form. Best you can do is change the hairdo and a few small details.

They didn't age. It was a time skip.

>>137436094
Hikaru no Go is probably one of the best at this. It was pretty fucking subtle how he slowly changed over every episode.

JJBA is at times even worse for this what with Jotaro reverse aging but everyone else who wasn't a vampire and in multiple parts aged appropriately.

Despite the manga being mostly shit (well, shit might be a bit harsh, it was a very standard shounen fighting fare), the characters in 666 Satan aged dramatically during their timeskip. Unlike the other Kishimoto brother's work where they all became taller and slightly fatter after their timeskip.

who is this splurge surge?

>>137439018
god don't remind me of that. everything that happened post time skip was so aggravating to me. I don't know if it was the dudes editor or pressure from the mag but man that series got fucked over hard.

>>137439018
Oh man, I completely forgot 666 Satan.
There was a big controversy within my Christian family because I borrowed the first 3 volume from a friend, it was hilarious.

I read it so long ago that I don't even fully remember what it's all even about. I distinctly remember there was one sad bit in it where...someone died and I remember the ending leaving me with feeling of "okay whatever then." I do clearly remember that the girls became much better after the time skip in terms of appearances at least.

>>137439210
I read it when I was an edgy teen and was hoping it was going to be 'cooler' based on the name. There was a fair bit of controversy in my reserved family when I order the first 3 Berserk volumes and my dad opened the first page with the demon fucking and just looked at me and said "is this what you read all day in your room?" To be fair he was right.

Now that I think about it Berserk is also a good example of aging in a manga. Aging and CHIN GETTING LARGER.

There's not too many shows that take place for more than a few years at best.

LoGH at least shows Reinhard and Julian looking manlier and more mature by the end of the series.

>>137439424
from what I remember the time skip pretty much mellowed everyone out but in a bad way. the main guy became a boring 'cool' character instead of a spunky hot head. the main female went from kinda silly and dumb to fuckin becoming the virgin mary. the sidekick character went from being a character who had to struggle to keep up with the main cast and the bad guys to just being in the background and being kinda useless over all. but hey he got to fuck an angel at least. The whole thing of the mc and love interest riding away on an ark to the moon was dumb as hell.
