Was he right? Did anime used to be better?
What are the good things about the modern anime industry? The bad?
>>149130861
He's just nostalgic.
No. No.
Yurishit and Fujoshit are bad, everything else is good.
>>149130909
This.
>>149130918
These are both good.
>>149130935
All of this is good.
>>149130861
They need to add more 7 foot tall black characters for diversity.

Otaku killed anime and the anime industry it's killing the doujin culture doing this, he's fucking right.
The bad - Kyoani
A grumpy old cunt complaining that things were better in his day
>Did anime used to be better?
He never said anything like that, he's always hated whatever is current in the industry.
Anime used to be better, yeah, but that's not what Miyazaki was trying to say I don't think.
>>149130861also miyazaki is only so much more popular/acceptable in the west because his films are basically like old school disney films and don't utilize the features that make anime more unique
>>149131369
have you actually seen an old-school disney film? if anything he's one of the people who helped the japanese anime industry diverge from western tradition
>>149130861
Anime has become moe ichi trash that can only be enjoyed if you are horny young cherry boy, sadly I have grown out of this stage and most anime just don't appeal to me anymore.
this is nice friday evening

I think that the modern day anime is lacking a certain type of creativity. But the problem is with the execution, not with the ideas itself. There isn't many who are brave enough to try something different. It is easier to make something you know the audience will like.
TV anime used to be better, but anime movies are still good.
It looks to me like he was right. Anime today is shit compared to the loli filled 80s.

Anon-kun, I understand that this Miyazaki argument is fatigued. But are you really trying to downplay him as a director? The man was a visionary and it was recognizable by all. Thats why he had success in the west.
>>149136110
He didn't even say anything about Miyazaki's talent, though, he just described why he gets attention, and he's at least partially right. There have plenty of top-tier anime directors who didn't/don't get attention in the West, because they don't make high-budget family-friendly movies and/or because they diverge from the West visually (both Miyazaki and many Western animators dislike the approach to animation that most anime took after the 50s).
>>149130861
I don't think he ever thought that there was a time where Japan's homegrown television animation industry didn't have some kind of problem.
>>149136235
Not him, but there is the suggestion that all Miyazaki has ever made are family films and that he doesn't utilize what makes anime unique, which technically are passes at his talent as a director.
>>149130861
Whatever keeps the feminists and cultural marxists out of it is good.
>>149136920
Usually, that's stuff that is only peripherally related to anime. Like Japanese being mostly ethnically Japanese and Japanese women having actual problems to deal with.
>>149130861
Anime has the same percentage of good to bad as it did in the past. He's also wrong about TV shows being bad. I respect that he wants to focus on higher quality and longer production times. But some concepts just work better for a TV series and not a 2 hour movie. Like Nausicaa.
>>149131369
>the features that make anime more unique
So you have no idea what you're talking about, I see.
>>149131369
>lol Miyazaki is like Disney
I want to kill you, Lassater, Keaton, Ebert and everyone else who spews this shit meme.
>>149139190
Isn't Ebert already dead?
>>149139190
Meh Lasseter is the second best person in all of Disneys history. His opinions are true.
No better way to find out it's the weekend than to see one of these threads.
>>149139430
>I think a person is good
>therefore I blindly like all his opinions
Found the Hillary voter.
>>149136920
So no anime at all?
