The image on the left actually shows more technical knowledge. The perspective is nearly perfect, and the lighting indicates a single, well-defined light source. The rightmost image is "prettier", but the artist is mostly relying on stacked layers of symbol painting, as practiced by people like Bob Ross.

In short: Detail does not make for good art. A solid understanding of fundamentals is more important than fancy grass.

What can we do to stop people from praising shitty art? Should art education be a part of the school curriculum?

>>133406016
Pretty much. Archer's art style is meant to be a bit sloppy, throwing the kitchen sink of background details and obvious jokes (e.g. the sheep) on top of some cheesy scenery designed to look like a matte painting. It's an action sit-com hybrid, so there are actually relatively few settings to deal with in a given episode. You couldn't really get away with that screen for anything more than an establishing shot, while the anime screen would function perfectly well as the background for a longer scene.

You mean... ah, no, you actually mean literally. It has serviceable art. Archer is more about interiors and city landscapes, but even that picture is perfectly fine for what it is. If you're point is that it could be better, then yes, you're absolutely right. But there is no way you can argue that it is somehow inferior to the lazy and uninspired left picture.

would you ever expect anime to be as good as western animation? outside of the bigger movies anime is for a niche audience and the budget is always going to incredibly limited by that.
the only thing you can say about japanese anime is they do more with less, theyve become adapted to having no resources, time or budget, but you can never totally make up that disparity.

The Japanese definitely handle action sequences better. Their usage of frame modulation works incredibly well for action, and shows that you don't always need lots of drawings to depict motion in an appealing fashion.

It has nothing to do with wanting to fuck characters.

There are tons of anime artstyles, westerns are simple unable to make characters look visually appealing.

For example, a cartoon character will never look as good as pic related, which is weird considering how good European artists were at creating faces in the past, especially during the Renaissande period.

What this image fails to discredit is:

The character models are also generally comically simplified caricatures that don't even try to imitate realistic movements, making things kinda easier.

Realism in animation is boring, it's a waste of the medium when live-action will always be superior in depicting realistic motion. Disney feature films are the closest thing to mainstream western animation featuring realistic movements but even then their animators exaggerated their work to make it livelier.

- Let it go was extremely popular, even before it hit the screens

>2. Compared to anime, Wetern animation has a lot more movement. Western animation directors simply cannot get away with the (sometimes hilarious ab)use of still images and speedlines that are common in anime.
I would agree with you several years ago, but modern Simpsons' animation looks like shit. Sometime it feels like they are just using some auto-interpolating tool between keyframes and there is zero interest at making good movement arcs.

An interesting post from Peter Chung, a former Disney animator:
>
While at Disney studios in the early eighties I showed Miyazaki's Lupin T.V. episodes on vhs tape to a room full of very staunch "classical" animators. They were astonished and enthralled, even though the animation was on 3's and the lip sync wasn't spot-on. It wasn't the quality of the animation they were responding to. Bill Kroyer made the comment regarding what made the films work: "it's 90% layout".

>>133407957
I chose GOOD movies and shows, not some mediocre CGI film that looks like shit, and has shitty characters.

It was as dark as it possibly get for a Disney film, and I agree the gargoyles were shit, but the story confronted a lot of deep dark issues like reliogion, deformity, and racism. It's very emotional and powerful.

Yeah.

A movie like that should've made me feel something, but it wasn't executed that well.

The art for the most part was pretty good, though there were a lot of scenes that looked pretty awful and low budget.

Japanese animation artists are more than capable of making nice looking art but most of the time they're severely limited by budget and have to cut corners as much as possible. So it's not that they lack the talent or anything. It's just they can't afford to make it look good most of the time. It's sad but that's how it is.

Funny since Disney and Pixar animators have been copying Miyazaki for he last 25 years.

Also, more movement != better animation. Some Disney movies like Tarzan or Pocahontas actually show that too much animation makes something worse. Unless it is handled very delicately, too much movement will completely destroy the effect animation is going for. Don Bluth proving this in every movie.

There are also plenty of anime, both TV and Movies, which have high budgets and tons of movement. And as a whole, Japanese animation has better quality in TV animation. Stop trying to compare a TV series to a movie. Because that's just dumb.

90% of animation that is produced by a western company is animated in Korea or Japan. Even a large amount of Pixar and Dreamworks stuff has their in between art done overseas.

OP and everyone else in this thread are fucking stupid.

>>133415779
If we're comparing the equivalent it'd be no contest. Jap cartoons > western cartoons, no questions asked.

But people seem to want to compare normal anime to high budget western films, which doesn't make any fucking sense.

>>133414653
Because most of them look different from each-other unlike Anime which is way too same-y

Look at Mickey Mouse,then look at Bugs Bunny,then Tom and Jerry,then Spongebob,then Ren and Stimpy,then EEnE,then PPG,then Dexter's Lab,then Batman TAS,then Snow White,then Peter Pan,TMNT etc.
You get my point
They all look very different compared to each-other

French Animation is the same as American Animation too(or at least it used to be)

>>133415780

But nothing in Laputa is even close to Gulliver's Travels aside from a floating island. By that logic, you can even connect Laputa to an episode of Star Trek TOS or various scifi novels.

Laputa's biggest inspirations came from a 1940s surreal artist and a trip Miyazaki took to Wales.

>>133414757
Why is good character design required to have some exaggerated body type?

>>133414830
Animation is done first before the voice over in Japan because of shit scheduling. That's why they don't bother outside of a few scenes here and there. It's also the reason for mouth flap errors from time to time.

Its done because of budget. Shows with a higher budgets redo mouth movements after the dub or sometimes even do animation last. Most anime movies do a combination of both.

I feel like the poses are more iconic than the actual characters in the silhouettes.
If you remove the rocks and fires and put them in some more generic poses I feel like a lot of characters wouldn't be as easily recognizable, unless they have some standout feature like Toph's hate or Sokka's ponytail.

kek

They'd look generic as fuck just standing there. Especially aing, without his magic inverting arrow.

I'm laffin

/co/ go choke on a kek.

All animation is pretty fucking dumb in general.
You should all watch sports and read books and go outside instead.

Nicely memed lad.

Creature design is pretty good though, but of course that's because they have exaggerated features.

The animation in the old Simpsons from season 4-12 was pretty amazing for its time actually. Just look at the episode where Homer is imitating Jack Nicholas in The Shining or the subtle way Lisa acts when she's attracted to Nelson.

You may just not like the style or design. Which is totally different from animation quality.

Current day Simpsons however is using computer animation. And looks awkward as fuck. I'm not entirely sure of the process, but it looks like they're making it 60 fps and downgrading it to 24 for broadcast. It just looks...unnatural. Even for animation. As well as the shows content itself just being shit.

But in that case you could get the generic looking people in Bakamonogatari and just post them as a crab, bat, bee, etc and you'd know who they are.

Okay?

I don't think distinct poses and elemental stuff count as character design though.

Like Zuko could definitely pass as someone else if you remove the fire and have him in a pose you don't know Zuko for.

I think clothing and hair counts for character design which is why Toph and Sokka stands out, but it can come off as kind of cheap, especially when you consider anime where character designs are basically just palette and hair swaps with different clothes sometimes.
