Why do anime backgrounds these days look like Instagram

Because making backgrounds using matte painting techniques has become much easier with computers.

That's my favorite background shot in anime.

>>154137507
That looks pretty good.

>>154137507
This background instantly reminds me of Dark Souls.

Looks like a city out of Warhammer Fantasy.

Water color backgrounds are best but no one really uses them much anymore.

I mean, there was Grimgar, which was comfy but slow.

Because people defend shitty CGI

Why do you think /a/ even knows how a "Instagram inspirational quote" looks like, you filthy crossboarder normalfag?

There's literally nothing wrong with posting on instagram

Just post cool backgrounds.

what the hell does that even mean?

>>154137263
maybe because they're actually drawn with effort rather than literally googling camera shutter settings, waiting for a rainy day, then clicking a button on your camera for 1-2 seconds to yield something similar.

>>154140709
that's clearly digital

>maybe because they're actually drawn

Most of these backgrounds are just photographs with a filter put over them to make them look drawn. Kyoani in particular does this a whole lot.
It even happens in Manga sometimes. Hiroya Oku does it all the time because he's a lazy fucker.

Glad I'm not the only one.

>>154141235
But that looks really fucking good.

Both are tacky, vapid, glossy, oversaturated, backlit and indulgent.

Is this a joke? They completely fucking jar with the rest of the image, not to mention the half-assed filtering job he did with how low-detail the shading comes out. It's exceptionally shit.

And I'm sure you have a very reliable source for this assertion.

Looks bad, like done in haste and impatiently. I know, cause my shitty works looks like that.

Rotoscoping.

>>154141235

Inio Asano also did this too for his backgrounds and other stuff. He just drew over them a bit more to make it feel less artificial.

>Rotoscoping.
Is an animation practice and has nothing to do with background art.

I knew a lot of The Matrix was taken from Megazone23, but I didn't realized Star Trek took elements from it.

>>154137507
Owari no Seraph is a shit anime but it did some good with the backgrounds. When those weren't plagued with filters, at least.
