Is there any point to learning 2D animation in this day and age

if you're not a degenerate piece of shit who hates emotion and animatory flow, than yes

There will always be a place for 2d animation. Its a format and easy to get into by drawing image after image in a sequence. There are unreal angles/views in 2d that don't translate into 3d but yet they still work.

I'll probably always prefer the 2D aesthetic, but I saw a .webm of a scene in Rio 2 featuring a singing purple frog that gave me a newfound respect for 3D. She was very well animated, characterful and expressive in a way I hadn't seen in the format before. Really gave me pause tbhfam

Drawing in animation will probably never go away completely, but using 3d to lay out scenes and poses to draw over more quickly is probably going to become standard routine.

Now learning how to animate 2d anime girls however and nothing else is already completely useless and will always be, unless you live in Japan and want to work your ass off for under 1000bucks a month.

Yes, there'll still be place for 2d animation. But the market will be so small that only a handful people can survive in it.

2d animation will not go away and it will be part of 3d cgi in the future.

a post-crowdfunding world and online communities insure there will always be demand for traditional style

Why can Japs not animate 3d (or simulated) 3d well?
