>In a 2014 interview, Miyazaki criticized the current state of the anime industry, saying that animators are not being realistic when it comes to people. According to Miyazaki, this is a problem because in order to produce content worthy of the industry, one's work must be based off lived experience and observation of people. He goes on to say that the reason why the industry is full of otaku is because anime is produced by "humans who can’t stand looking at other humans".
Is he right?
>>
I doubt he knows much about the inner workings of the social lives of people he doesn't even personally know. He was just being a petty dick
>>
No, it's just due to the industry producing schlock that moefags eat up especially on /a/ with retarded threads like "Would you do her?" rather than actually talking about anime leaving a select few shows even minutely worth looking into surrounded by seas and vast oceans of filth.

Sorry that's just my rant on the whole situation, I kinda hate Miyazaki's work but there's something definitely wrong with the new age of anime and he probably caught, or he's just a bitter old man who only likes his kind of work. Either or.
>>
>>142709746
It was a very broad statement but I still like him for endorsing English dubs and putting weebshits in their place.
>>
>>142709894

>>142709984
>English dubs
He endorses accurate English dubs.
>>
Hes right, and /a/ is butthurt about it.
>>
>>142709746
I love how otakus in general respond to his criticism. You can feel the conflict when you see that they just can't say he's shit, but they definitely don't agree with him because he's basically telling them that their taste is shit, so they come with phrases like "I don't personally like his work" or "I think he's taking things out of context".
Based Miyazaki. Giving no fucks about the hordes of tasteless otakus.
>>
Miyazaki is no different from the rest of the anime industry he criticizes.

All of his movies are populated by the same archetype characters:
- Genki lolicon fantasy preteen that satisfies his personal tastes
- Strong older woman who provides maternal support
- Younger male who has some romantic interest in the girl

It's the same copy/paste story building that populates the all those identical school battle love comedies that he hates.

The only difference is he gets to make stories that fit his own preferences, no the preferences of the consumers.

Have you ever entertained the thought that perhaps the industry is fucked up?
>>
>>142711143
But then he says something idiotic like

>Miyazaki also expressed his opinion about the terrorist attack at the offices of the French satirical magazine Charlie Hebdo and gave his opinion about the magazine's decision to publish the content cited as the trigger for the incident. He said, "I think it's a mistake to caricaturize the figures venerated by another culture. You shouldn't do it." He asserts, "Instead of doing something like that, you should first make caricatures of your own country's politicians."

Don't make fun of the muzzies guys, you should only criticize your own culture, not the ones that mutilate gentiles and kill their wives.

Nice reasoning there, buddy.
>>
>>142713000
I actually agree with what he said in the OP.

With that said, he's an idiot because of his opinions on free speech.
>>
>>142713000
Well hes still attributing a cultural problem to anime like some dumb news fundie. If anime is produced for people who hate looking at humans and there is a substantial world wide market of these people who hate looking at humans in the post industrial world. Then it is hardly animes fault for exploiting it, rather a symptom of modern living.
>>
>>142713088
He's right though. Making fun of someone isn't restricted, but that doesn't mean they won't punch your lights out for talking shit.

There's nothing wrong with modern anime. Anime today is better than ever.

The people are realistic. Anyone can be anyone. The problem is the interactions and reactions. For example, when someone does dumb shit, they will shrug it off and make it a joke when in reality someone would be like "Is this guy fucking serious? What a dumbass. Is he autistic?" Which is why you see these "Is X autistic" threads all the fucking time.

Miyazaki's not really wrong; 99.99% of anime these days is absolute trash, and the stuff that isn't is still usually pretty flawed. All the good manga have been animated already, which is why we're mostly getting cookie cutter crap, LN based stuff, remakes and shoddy originals. Long running series are usually no better since they're mostly kids shows, save a one or two good exceptions. The best shows are usually those based off good manga, and the difference in the rate of production of new manga and anime seasons ensures that the seasons that get a truly excellent show (good writing, animation, voice acting, pacing & proper adaptation) are few and far between.
>>
>>142709746
He made some good films but he's just a bitter old man now. He acts like he has a pedestal to stand on when in reality he's hasn't pushed the medium forward at all since the 90's. The fact that Kon died and not this guy is one of the greatest tragedies of the anime industry.
>>

>>142709746

Out of touch? I'm sorry Miyazaki, have you ever been outside of that fucking snotwipe small of a country you live in? No, outside of your fucking house, rather.

I get your nation has shit problems but don't get all asshurt on us when your society is built upon school mommas and attempting to recapture the economic glory of the late 1980's all while it turns kids apathetic about life and when nobody in Japan really even likes anime (that shit is fact, everyone loves Disney overseas) other than nerds and outcasts.

Best of all, what did you do with your career while you rode the high life?

Your successor died, your sons can't compare, and Only Yesterday is the examples of what kind of garbage your studio will be making if you can't get your shit together, you fucktard green tree hugging hippie.

Fuck, YOU.
>>

With animation, you are quite literally able to creatively express an infinite variety of stories and images, including those whose premises and characterizations aren't commonly (or else at all) instantiated in reality. And you want to use it... to copy exactly what's already there.

I for one welcome the current state of anime
the shit anime comes and goes, but good anime still springs up, it just isn't the same kind of anime as in the 20th century. And this is for the better, new ideas and concepts must always grow in order that the industry not become stale because it tried not to change.

I honestly feel good that this isn't the case. I'm really excited about joining a community of artists who take criticism seriously, like Miyazaki and Alan Moore, and I'm pumped to push people to improve themselves in that way.

He's right in the sense of how anime as an art form has fallen.
He's wrong in the sense that anime is still an industry that exists for the financial benefit of those who work in it, and they produce what people buy.

As far as not portraying people realistically or whatever that's just fucking retarded. Most anime tell fantastical stories that could never actually occur, sometimes it turns out well, most of the time the failings of the writers creates issues in the quality and the depth of the characters, this is usually seen as a lack of talent on the writers part in other industries such as fictional novels.

Miyazaki in this case is just being bitter because he sees himself as a foundational architect of anime, and it obviously frustrates him that anime has become more heavily populated by people who aren't performing at his level. Rather than considering this an effect of the industry being easier to access and the spread of cheaper computerized mediums that allow for more room for error as well as enabling a wider spread of content through both legal and illegal mediums which increases the funding for the industry resulting in significantly more production since costs went down and funding went up, He seems to attribute it to people in the industry essentially lacking the personal experience to give their characters and stories the depth they need to create impactful stories.

I'm not saying that this isn't at least partially correct, but it is a small part of a much larger set of events leading to what we know as anime today compared to when Miyazaki would have been making his mark.

TL;DR Using a single quote to sum up how different the anime industry is today in comparison to Miyazaki's time is stupid, and if Miyazaki really thinks that anime is objectively worse now just because of Otaku's then he's stupid.

Miyazaki is basically talking about how animators need to observe people to be able to draw them, and that the industry is full of otaku who don't like doing that. He's not complaining about the state of anime in general.
>>
>>142709746
Sorta.

The real issues with the anime industry have been around for decades and include:

1) Dispersed talent across a multitude of studios, ultimately watering down most projects.
2) Japan's shitty economy, which has hammered in two decades worth of conservative business practices into management
3) An increasingly shrinking target audience on which to draw (Otaku aged 25+)
4) Outdated advertising practices and perverse merchandizing incentives that negatively impact storytelling
5) Fucked up production schedules and general slavelike pay and working conditions

At the end of the day, the people who bitch about the anime industry and how it doesn't cater to them are worse than the 'otaku' who fund it. At-least the otaku are fucking willing to actually spend money on things they like to ensure they get more of it. The same can't be said for the other side who would probably kill themselves long before they would buy a single BD volume.

>He goes on to say that the reason why the industry is full of otaku is because anime is produced by "humans who can’t stand looking at other humans

Maybe.

At least this is true for modern computer/video games. I applied to game design school back in 2004 and realized that industry has been completely ruined by nerds who don't even know how humans move.

They showed some of the 3D animations created by students/former students and it was all crap.

If you lock youself up in a room with computers and and 10 nerds and never go outside except for getting drunk at the local strip club (yes they openly said that's what they did) for 3 years and call that education you won't know anything about normal human interaction.

Of course it's not better to shut yourself out from otaky culture either, they're also human but you need a normal life perspective on it.

Yeah because that is his style, in the same way people after a certain point don't change their handwriting, artists don't change (after a certain point) their art style. Look at any great painter and you will see that.

You could make the argument that an artist has not improved said style, but saying that it is bad that an artist has not changed art style is silly.

I never liked most of his creations, but he has a solid point which won't change, because making moeblob shit and having it sell is too easy. One always goes for the easiest route, even at the cost of integrity.

Character work in most Anime is just not to my liking with Anime-y exaggerated expressions and shitty humor which I also think he criticizes a lot.

Anime is better now.

Better and more sophisticated. On point too. You Luddites should realize that better tech means better animation.

For example, we hardly have loose cells or out of place layers. A lot of layers could be put on top of each other. Lighting has also improved. Lewd shiny thighs wouldn't have been possible in old cel animation. So are bloom effects (although some purists hate that)

I love these advancements. No more limited movement.

Lens flares galore, sure. Of course there are cons. Visually speaking, though? Enchanting is the first word that comes to mind.

We (that is, they) work faster as well. In truth, there's an influx of anime nowadays. Tons of series. Hentai too.

Amazing strides in technology shouldn't be ignored because of your nostalgia.

Greatness can be seen in the latest works out there. Intense visuals. Realistic backgrounds. Luscious movement.

I just finished watching Wolf Children today, and it really shows up the bulk of anime in its sense of authenticity. I can barely recall any other modern anime where the kids actually act like kids in such a spot on way.

Comics Code Authority. Believe it or not, up to the 1950's comics were far more varied, though probably not as much as manga today. In the 50's some guy convinced everyone important enough that comics were responsible for a lot of bad shit including drug abuse, communism and faggotry. Comics that were ultra-kid friendly were only allowed to be sold and these were stamped with the Comics Code Authority. These comics would have to avoid depicting: drug use, criminal behaviour in a sympathetic light, sexuality, etc. Naturally, capeshit was pretty much the only genre that fit the bill.
Eventually CCA died down, but the damage was done, by the late 80's pretty much two comic companies were in business to any meaningful extent... Marvel and DC.

Ironically, Japan's more free comic industry was a product of American post-war interference.

I will never understand his perspective. How has anime at any point in time ever been realistic in its human component?

Well, it's good when your anime sells only because of Miyazaki on poster. But what about others? There is a lot good anime from 2000-2016 that didn't sold. No matter how hard animators/writers/directors are trying, this shit will not sell ever. It's not worth it. Classic literature adaptation, popular fantasy etc. Doesn't matter. But, meanwhile if you pick random anime movie and write "Miyazaki" on poster it will be sell like cakes.

Miyazaki thrives at bringing those human elements which seems authentic in his work. Take Totoro for example, if you know nothing about it and you go in thinking it's a movie about cute girls are big fluffy blue monster but when you watch it the movie isn't about mystical shit, plot there is non existent and the movie is about human interaction and character study. I believe that's what he's saying when he asks of more realism in Anime. Realism not in terms of concept but in terms of characters.

In her works the focus was never on the harem as a harem, it was only a sort of "unfortunate" side effect that one dude had many girls pining after him.

What does that have to do with Miyazaki? Miyazaki didn't create a genre, he just told stories that had air of artistic integrity and authenticity in it. It's not his fault that people would rather watch trash than something genuinely good. It's the thing he's trying to criticize. What kind of morons are you?
>>
>>142726625
But his point doesn't just entail interactions and story, it also includes animation itself. He literally says it himself, people who don't look at other people, can't draw people. Something that anon is saying is wrong. Why the fucking would miyazaki care about story? He's an animator. If his complaints are about story and character interactions, then he is the last person who has the right to complain that the industry doesn't fit his views. Anything with his name slapped on it gets eaten right up and he can make whatever the fuck he wants. But what about everyone else? The industry doesn't have a otaku problem, it has a fucking budget and time restraint issue.

I think it's myopic of him to think every one has the same degree of creative freedom he has. People like him, who have been working in anime since Astroboy, and have been working in anime longer than most people today have been alive, can usually get whatever they want greenlit.

I'm sure there are plenty of younger animators in the industry that would love to express their ideas that isn't "more of the same", but they'll never get chance because there's no guarantee it will be profitable, and these people will be lucky if they get a chance to do it before they kill themselves from overwork by their 40s.
>>
Moe anime being made does not in any way prevent action anime from being made. Action anime are not made because they cant sell enough to profit. Both action anime and moe anime could be made at the same time. There just aren't actually many fans of action anime. If moe anime stopped existing it would just mean less anime overall.

Miyazaki's work only sell because he got lucky early on and got famous for his work. He could literally shit on a plate, put his name on it and people would eat it up.

He always criticize industry. And what happens if they listen him? Tons of unemployed people and bankrupt studios? No one cares about anime without Miyazaki or other big old boys who still alive. Look at Mamoru Oshii. He said that he don't see anything in anime as artist, but if you google his interview on youtube, you will understand that he's not "real artist". He makes money. He literally said "I can't make money from anime anymore. Anime is shit"

Of course, Otakus are usually losers left out of the society that use cartoons as escapism to feel slightly better about their miserable existence. Of course what they'll want to watch won't be realistic, because that's exactly what they're trying to avoid, since then it really wouldn't be escapism, just reminder of their life that they don't like, it'd completely defeat the purpose and while he might not like it, it's how it is and expecting anything other or trying to push against that would make him look slightly foolish.

You fags just take a lot of what he says out of context. He still likes the medium, just not how the industry has developed. I think we would all have a much different opinion on this if none of us had access to free streaming of Anime or torrents/downloads. A decent chunk of what is produced today is usually an infomercial to promote products, or promote generic source material.

This is literally the most accurate answer here and barely any anons respond. Sasuga /a/

>>142716518
Agree with everything here except for the target audience. Many of the shows discussed here are the 25+ audience shows but those run in the late night tv slots and only the otaku crowd will stay up that late. Shows that get the prime tv slots are often kids anime (Detective Conan) which make the most money. Correct me if I'm wrong.

>>142735582
I don't get why people think this only applies to Otaku. Believe it or not but well adjustet people tend to like stories that aren't completely grounded in reality and don't perfectly mimic their own everyday life either.
Fiction is entertainment and entertainment is ultimately escapism. The problem isn't that stories for Otaku aren't grounded in reality or can be used as a means of escapism. Those things aren't necessarily the opposite of a clever and well crafted story.
Shitty anime stories aren't derivative because they are a form of escapism but because the studios are on tight budgets and try to imitate successful stories rather than come up with something creative.

Creativity is often met with scorn, even on /a/. Doing the standard, like battle shonen and sol harems means easy money and low effort for animators.

Otakus are equivalent to the people who watch capeshit movies.

What does Japan having 0% GDP growth since 1995 have to do with Western Animation?

>>142709746
Aren't basically what he saying is that one must observe the real people to be to learn how to animate character? Which makes a sense since there is no way for improvement when one learn how to anime things by watching other people's works. IRC Bahi JD was also saying that it's important for animator to observe nature to learn how to animate stuff.
>>
>>142742100
Growth is overrated. It all goes to the top anyway.
>>
>>142742247
That's not how economics works.
Even if there are thousands of animators who would work for free, they still have to live; hence the poverty wages.
If the economy in general grows, then prices and rents will grow. Studios will have to pay animators more to keep them fed and housed.
They'll still make poverty wages, but poverty wages will be higher in real terms- that's why poverty lines are different in different countries.

Lurk more
It takes about 5k/volume sales to break even with DVD sales alone. This means that the shows still have the chance to break even with merchendise and manga sales. Konosuba sold okay but the real kicker was that its LN sales skyrocketed when the anime hit, even if the next season flops as long as the LN sales stay the same it will still be a profit. Then we have advertisement break revenue, product placement, crunchyroll/netflix licensing, manga/LN/videogame revenue.
Then we have the JACKPOT: once in a while a studio gets something like Osumatsu-san or Monogatari, then the revenue covers not only the entire show but all of the flops the studio ever made, several seasons of the franchise and a new yacht for the IP owner.
This is an industry, the moment the industry stops earning money it will change. Right now its earning money

The production committee that hires the studios to create the shows do so primarily for the purpose of advertising whatever main product they seek to promote, which is seldom the show itself.

Not necessarily considering there's anime that is really stupid shit. In terms of video and sound quality definitely better, but story wise not always.

I agree with Miyazaki, because I don't understand why people think it's funny to make fun of religious, and assuming it won't stir negative sentiment that terrorists will use to fuel their agenda. There's nothing idiotic about this considering politicians are bigger scum most of the time. People think freedom of speech means freedom from getting slaughtered which sadly isn't the case in the intolerant world we live in. Not mention making fun of your own culture is better so you can become a better society. Also, you're stupid ignorant muzzie comment show what a fucking idiot you are considering not everyone is a nut job and Western cultures are in no way innocent either even if the extremism is not there. I don't always agree with Miyazaki but he has a point.

It's good that you think that, but sadly, it just simply isn't right. Since the very start of the industry there was never a time where manga adaptations didn't exist.

There aren't as many originals anymore. Probably money related since so many fail.

The greatest issue with Anime and Art in general is that it takes too many resources to produce versus the rate of consumption.

I studied animation at university and it took 6 months to learn and produce a simple walk cycle of 3 seconds.

The average wage in Australia is $70k a year AUD (about 55K USD). If it took one unit (four a semester) of full time study to generate a simple walk cycle, that piece of animation was worth $17k AUD.

Now imagine how much it cost to train an animator to be competent enough to produce content for a simple animation project? 70k a year plus training costs of say 20k a year plus a degree which cost around 60k over 4 years. Already you are looking at at least $700k minimum investment per animator over a 10 year period.

Now that trained single animator will probably be able to produce a 5 to 10 minute animation in 6 months working full time. So that's the 700k plus another 45k for the labour.

Now consider BD orders. 3000 is considered a break even point for many projects. That's one cour or 6 hours of content (depending). These usually go for about $80 AUD.

For our example to be economically viable and to break even, it would need to sell 9300 BDs (for a 10 minute animation). How many people do you know will shell out 80 bucks for 10 minutes of content? It's a very high price.

Most of us on /a/ get our anime for free, but support the industry in other ways (merchandise). In truth many people working in the industry are earning below minimum wage. They don't make a great deal of money nor do they have an exceptional education or a deep understanding of narrative & literature.

You get shit results if you don't pay a lot of money. It's our fault as consumers for consuming shit and accepting shit work, its the industries fault for not adapting to modern payment models and generating shit because it is more profitable and its everyone's fault for not demanding higher standards and holding others accountable.
>>
>>142764064
it's not that there are no good adaptions, but an industry full of them is a sign of creative bankruptcy and stagnation. The highest praise an adaption can get is that it makes me want to check out the source material. Original's are good no their own merits.
>>
>>142764068
>everyone has read every manga in existence

I do plenty of manga reading, but there are still plenty of manga adaptions of manga I haven't read.

Also, sometimes it is nice to see something good you read be turned into something good you watch.

Or alternatively, a good thing you watch has a continuation of a good thing you read.
>>
>>142763668
>For example, a hero who can only sneer, since if he smiles that would screw his face up. A heroine with huge eyes that suddenly turn into dots without any connection between these two types of eyes. Extremely deformed characters with no sense of existence pretend to be cool in a deformed colorful world by extending time as much as they want-- that has become the major characteristic of Japanese anime.

Doesn't happen often, but neither do good originals or good anime in general.

>>142764128
Exactly which is what most adaptions are, just ads for the source material. I'd estimate that probably 5% of adaptions have a satisfying conclusion that isn't go find the manga now.

Not true, you can take liberties and change it, and that happens plenty of the time. Being unfaithful isn't automatically bad. I agree that you're being very narrow-minded.

Why do you people care about what a bitter old man has to say?

75% of anime is shit, 15% is alright, and 10% is good. I don't care what decade it is. The only decade that sort of sticks out is the 90's and that's because people took many more chances and there was a metric fuckton of creativity.

Anime is a fucking arts and entertainment industry. Most of it is going to be mediocre or bad just like any other industry.
>>
>>142764111
>it's not that there are no good adaptions, but an industry full of them is a sign of creative bankruptcy and stagnation.
Then why the fuck are you making a hobby out of an industry that has been stagnant and creatively bankrupt since your parents were in diapers?
>>
>>142763704
Some manga adaptations are fine, as long as they have a conclusion of some kind. I'd say the same of LNs too.
It happens way too often now that ongoing LNs are picked up for adaptations, leaving cliffhanger endings that nobody has any intention of ever resolving. Except in rare cases where someone cares enough that a show actually gets a sequel, that's it. Nobody gives a fuck after they get paid.
And this happens over and over again like a pump and dump scheme. They're literally 1 cour long advertisements. I understand that this is really only a problem for foreign fans and nips and just go to Animate or whatever the fuck and buy every volume the next day, but for everyone else, we're left with a sort of half-experience with our dicks in our hands. You rarely see this problem in western animation because it's a different business model. Maybe I'm wrong in thinking this but I feel something like animation as a medium should be able to appeal equally to all audiences. Ideally a show should be able to good as a stand alone piece, even without the source material as a crutch.
>>

Because he is well-respected in the community and generally correct.

Ah, yes we need animation to appeal to lowest common denominator.

That worked out so well for every other artistic medium. Oh wait, it didn't? Anime is niche for a reason?

Not really, no. In fact, I'd say most opinions he has are borderline crazy or worse. He's not and never has been an establishment type of guy, he's the iconoclastic-creative type who's off his rocker and is tolerated because that kind of perspective can let you make good works.

He claims that before the 2011 earthquake he knew something bad was about to happen because of the fucking clouds.

Either you're retarded when it comes to learning or your teacher is incompetent.

That's what it takes to learn hand drawn animation.

It doesn't take 6 months to animate a 3 second walk cycle.

>Because he is well-respected in the community
Just because he's well-respected it doesn't mean he is always right. And he sure as hell isn't generally correct. He has literally been complaining about everything since he joined the industry. He isn't a bitter old man, he is just a bitter fucking person who got old so he thinks higher of himself.

We've been over this. Miyazaki is the literal Japanese incarnation of "old man yells at cloud." He's resistant to change and can't accept the fact that good animation can come from something other than his own cookie cutter interpretation.
