Wasn't she used goods in the show?

showing mixed feeling, i.e my initual pic in where the mc likes what she is doing and yet is reluctant for various reasons.

you do not see shit like this now adays you only get a bland sad face or a bland happy face; never do we get anything complicated.

Because Idolshit and Moeshit sells

Capturing that complexity well in animation can be difficult and more importantly it requires having well thought out characters that would be capable of complex emotions. You can't animate consistent believable emotion unless the character actually has it.

>why are anime nowadays so shit
Most of the anime that came out around the same time as FLCL weren't of the same caliber either.

>>159367557
why do you think writers and producers do not understand that if they want to create a lasting anime a prerequisite of that is that they both write and animate complex characters.

how do you even connect those things to what the op said fucking idiot

Understanding is one thing, executing is another. Writers and producers probably do understand, but it's difficult to write and develop interesting and believable characters in a way that sticks with the viewer while also standing out from others.

Anime is like most other mediums, it's a business first and foremost and trying to deliver on things like complex and opaque characters could be considered risky. When they release a product, they want to release something that has a good chance of succeeding. Having simple, often archetypal, characters is one piece of the puzzle to creating a safe and successful product that will please the largest audience.

For FLCL as an example, it's great, and somehow works despite being complex and little convoluted. Achieving that is not easy to do, and it's why FLCL is considered a classic.

You say that like it matters.

>>159367882
it could be argued that a lower iris to eye ratio could be a factor. for us the direction the eyes are looking at help signify an emotional state see >>159367936

interesting, one wonders whether or not the production of the medium expanding(i.e. chinese anime and shit) would force the producers to be more inclined to take risks, or will they instead forgo catering to an international audience and instead opt to cater to a domestic one?

I hope it is the former, but one could very easily expect the latter.
