Do you think Anime has influenced modern cartoons too much?

>>92509965
Anime has had an influence on cartoons for a long time.
In turn, anime takes a lot from western animation.

It's cyclic.

>>92509965
Every time that /co/ tries to improve a show, they basicaly turn it into anime.

So I would say, not enough.

I wonder what was going on in the head of the person who drew over Spike.

I want to give them the benefit of the doubt and assumed they just didn't see it, but even then...

>tfw you finally watched bebop last week

h-he's going to be alright, right? h-he's gonna show up in that special I haven't watched yet, right?

r-right?

>>92510952
If you mean the movie, that's a prequel.

>>92510952
Watch the movie.

>>92510993
I watched the movie, I meant the special they released a couple of years ago

>>92510952
That movie takes place between two of the episodes near the end of the show. It was originally going to be a proper prequel explaining Spike's origin, but the creator thought it was better to leave it a tad ambiguous.

>>92509965
Not too much, just in all the wrong ways.
Western cartoons have adopted storytelling and humor styles from anime, and have made several shaky attempts to recreate the "Moe" phenomenon, which are all weaker features of anime at least in regards to western audiences. The West should take the quality art and level of detail from anime, while keeping western aesthetic and storytelling. There's a reason the best anime have the most western influence.

You're gonna carry that weight

N-no...

>>92509965
I don't really like the idea of treating cartoons/anime as two things that must be done in a specific way every time.

I don't mean "call everything cartoons" (there's so much stuff from Japan that anime's a convenient term), or "well technically in Japan it's all anime"

Just it seems like seeing certain elements only in terms of them being an "anime thing" or a "cartoon thing" would hold back any show that tries to experiment a little.

f-fuck

Not too much, but rather in many cases, in the wrong ways.

>I don't mean "call everything cartoons"
I somewhat disagree. IMO, animations just animation, regardless where it's from. We don't make special terms for Chinese or Russian products, so I don't see why not to put it in the same category. I agree with the rest though, /co/ and a lot of people are way to hung up on what they think is "anime" and what they think is "cartoon"

>>92511236
I disagree. In the same way you can categorize a difference between, say, american horror movies and asian horror movies, or european arthouse movies vs american commercial movies, you should totally be able to differentiate between anime and cartoons because, culturally, regionally, artistically, they're different movements of the same medium with different techniques and different standards.

>>92510935
That movie pleasantly surprised me.

>Remember when we used to use real citizens?

>>92511236
I definitely agree it's all animation, and seeing all anime as its own genre or something is part of the problem I was getting at. Just for me it helps narrow things down more to have a term to refer to Japanese animation specifically.

If other countries' animations were as widely known and obsessed over there'd probably be another popular term for that too.

>watch all three endings one after the other

I wasnt ready

Objective truth 1:

Anime was influenced by old western cartoons.

Objective truth 2:

Current Anime, while being mostly shit, is roughly four million times better than the average current cartoon.

Objective logical conclusion:

Something went wrong with cartoons at some point, and cartoons must loot at Anime and understand why it still works. because in a way it's a relfection on cartoon's past self.

>>92510935
yup but MC is a crybaby

i blame Sugar influence in Japan

>>92509965
no. if there was there would be 7 epsiodes of steven charging up his gem and 5 episode fighting

>>92512646
I doubt the MHA mangaka gives a fuck about the fat fuck and the space lesbians. He likes Marvel and DC, not some shitty CN cartoon.

>>92512601
This

But /co/ would rather make childish conjectures about both east and western cartoons, so this thread will turn to shit

>>92509965
Not enough. I'm still waiting for it to become global industry standards to have simple shading in your cartoons for every shot.
