2010 was 7 years ago anon.

>>160851425
looks soulless white watching her child's death

>>160851531
And K-on was 8 years ago you fucking retard

>>160851831
And? K-on is probably the biggest culprit of this shit styleless anime fad.

I guess you just like shades.

Attack on Titan had lovely art design.

>>160851425
Have you not seen Mob Psycho 100?

>>160852085
"No"

I guess you just like Cel

>>160852183
What a compelling counter-argument.

>>160852145
I did, and very much enjoyed it. What is comparable to it this season? Can you even name one anime?

>>160851425
Show me a single TV show from the 80s or 90s that consistently looked as detailed as this. You can't.

That movie looked better than most things though, so comparing it is quite harsh. Art types do seem to look more alike in modern anime.

>>160852085
More like it's the call of duty of anime, brown filter on everything.

>>160851425
Switch to digital, plus trends.

The chart has some good picks but I won't be able to take it seriously until that's fixed.

It's nostalgia.

No one remembers average or below-average shows from previous decades. If you compare top-tier anime from previous decades to average anime now of course you will be disappointed.

>>160852368
Kyoani is more like moe house than art tbqh

>>160852480
all characters must look like kids or the fans will riot. They get scared when they get rejected even in their fantasies.

>>160851425
You have to remember that your pic and most other shows people use as examples of old animation and design being better than that of modern shows were exceptions rather than the norm even back in their day. You remember them because they've survived the test of time, but there are so many other soulless old anime that are never talked about. Old things feel better because they've already been filtered unlike currently airing shows. The majority has always been subpar. This isn't an anime only thing though, it also applies to pretty much anything, such as live action shows and manga.

>>160852839
At least that trend of triangle faces passed. Fuck that was some disgusting shit.

Neither of those should be there. They're both mainstream as fuck and are easily digestible. That whole chart is dominated with shit that isn't remotely "art house".

>>160852480
The first three in this have the kind of sterile coloring and lack of aesthetics that OP complains about though

>>160852711
The backgrounds here are low resolution and effort.

>>160853986
I posted it, and I've never posted it before. The art house thing doesn't matter. Most of those shows have unique aesthetics and generally "good" animation, which is exactly what OP was asking about.

>>160854150
>The art house thing doesn't matter
Yes it does, because it's bait.

>>160851425
The Sugoi Kakoiii demographic was replaced with the moe moe demographic which constantly demands shitty harems and CGDCT.

>>160852608
>Ballroom
>visually appealing
It's hideous. Might as well pick The Reflection, which at least has its own style going on. Though superflat probably isn't what OP is looking for.

>>160855156
It feels bad man.

>>160851425
The difference is not about aesthetics, is more about being "flat". Designs like yours have dimensionality, some that anime today lack.

every anime nowadays is done digitally
and as you might not know, you can't have pencil precision with a tablet

You knew it was over when they stopped drawing noses.

>>160852368
Except Kaguya, Tatami Galaxy, Space Dandy and Ping Pong to some extent the rest are not art house
Shelter is a fucking music video 5 minutes long not anime

>>160857350
None of them are art house except Rain Town and maybe Shelter.

>>160857400
*None of them are art house
ftfy

>>160856919
you mean the stupid reply telling that all those screenshots are from the same episode?

>>160852480
is this what's happening to devilman?

>>160855856
Because cel animation used an ACTUAL light source.

It's actually everything that Tezuka made, but whatever anon.

>>160858819
yeah like episode 2

>>160851425
Pretty much nostalgia. Only the best of 90's is ever brought up. Nobody bothers to think about the truckloads of absolutely shit low budget anime that existed back then.

>>160851425
To me, they just are trying many ways to look cute and charming.
And I'm ok with that.

>>160852951
What do you wanted?
Pixar?

Uh what? You can literally trace the origins of every single series back to any one Tezuka series.

>>160851464
>>160851425
both of these look bad

>>160851425
Well first there's the colors. The ink used for outlines fades when it dries, so you have warm lines instead of solid black like you can get in animation made on a computer. The use of actual pigments in general helps give it a more natural look

Also hair was drawn more like hair and not like weird spikes

>>160859613
kyoani fags ruined anime by proving time and time again that they will swallow dogshit if there's a moeblob in it

>>160852480
wtf they're all from the same episode?

>>160855778
the biggest difference there is that one anime is for kids and the other one is for adults and it's full of dirty jokes and otaku pandering

>>160851425
They now make simpler, less detailed, more cartoony, designs that are easier and faster to copy. Also keep in mind you are posting a screenshot from a movie.

>>160857400
not all of it but some episode of space dandy especially season 2 are some of the most arthouse stuff anime has ever reached, dead dandy in particular is an episode that reaches that.

>>160859871
wow its almost like the point of the picture was to emphasize how easy it is to cherrypick.

>>160860617
I think you're missing the point entirely, there. It's not about cherrypicking or quality.

It's more of an issue of how detailed the animation is if anything.

Moefags truly the worst. Just stay in your threads where you masturbate over your waifus please.

I don't think there's a problem with animators, its just the studios trying to play it 'safe' with generic artwork rather than something different. There is modern anime that looks gorgeous too like death parade,acca13 and even pic related.

>>160863659
Just to bad Grimgar is horrible, and unwatchable.

Why cant modern anime just slap on some detailed stills with some 4-5 fps animations in-between then compensate that with god-tier OST and a decent story? Worked well enough for Berserk
