I miss when anime had realistic faces like this.

>>15002944

It's not a particularly realistic face though. Especially those huge assume eyes. They're very expressive, but not very realistic.

Do you not see that hatching across her nose? It doesn't get closer to real life than that.

This is not realistic. Unless you think people have eyes like that (half as big as the face). You may like the character design but to say it's more realistic than those we see nowadays is wishful thinking. Take off those rose tinted glasses.
Now one point where I do prefer the old designs is when it comes to boobs. Old designs had more proportioned boobs (and the fucking animators drew the nipples). Nowadays female characters have to have gigantic boobs and no nipples. It's disgusting.

>>15002963
hatching cost extra money
animators draw less lines because they cost more money

One of the reasons people hate Patlabor 2 is because of the realistic character design. They're nothing like the character design of Patlabor 1, the ovas or the tv show.

I don't think "realism" is what has changed. It is more so that modern anime faces are just boring and sterile, where older anime faces had allot more shading, hatching, interesting quirks ( I always found the shiny spot on the lower lip some animators did kind of interesting) a more interesting color palette, etc.

>>15003155
Every single LoGH face is either "young guy" or "older guy".

>>15003168

>>15003166

It still looks quite flat in comparison to >>15003163 . But it is nice, and I do think we are beginning to see a recovery. It was 2000-2010 where things were dire. This decade has been slowly improving imo, probably because the internet is giving everyone more access to good older anime to take inspiration from.

>it's another butthurt moeshit eater from /a/ thread

>>15003171

I've never once said anything about realism being an issue.

>>15003171
Her nose is not "just a rectangle" unless you don't know what a rectangle is. And her eye width is fine. This is'nt about "realism" anyways , it is about being aesthetically pleasing by having some dynamic color and texture choices.

>>15003178
>And her eye width is fine.
Good thing I didn't say fucking shit about the width of her eye, you illiterate retard.

Her eye is too goddamn close to the center of her face. If you could see her other eye in that shot, there'd be less than half an eye width between them. This isn't an opinion. This isn't up for debate. This is an objective, inarguable fact. It's a fucking deviantart-tier mistake.

>>15003171

Most of what humans draw can be boiled down to basic shapes, that includes drawing other people.

It is anime, the point isn't to look realistic, the point is to make the shot look good, and the shot looks good.

>>15003216
What I was trying to say is that the "it's just an [insert shape here]" argument can potentially be made for just about every drawing ever. The nose is pretty much a collection of rectangles and triangles.

Now, what do I think of that nose in particular? They probably shouldn't have made the lines on the bridge of the nose so darn obvious. Since this is an anime though, I don't think I am getting the full picture just by looking at a still screenshot.

>>15003166
All that detail on the eyes and the nose is two lines. This makes me sad. It's like character designers just gave up on an important part of the face.

Why the fuck does Japanese animation even have a particular style. Like you can tell when something is "anime". With other animation, and even some early anime is doesn't look at "samey". I don't care how much detail you put into something, if at the end of the day it looks "anime" it just ends up washing out what could have been cool animation and turns it into something that you expect. That and 90% of the plots and character interaction borders on autistic fantasies.

>>15003464
>Why the fuck does Japanese animation even have a particular style.
It's starting to lose all meaning in this day and age. Anyone who knows two shits about anime and manga knows that there are tons of styles within that context. But nowadays, even westerners are integrating "anime" elements into their art. Just look at most cartoons and comics made today.

I won't defend it no matter when it was drawn. Noses chins and cheek bones are the easiest way to keep characters from all having same face. Abandoning those traits in design is just not cool in my opinion.

I prefer her work on Urusei Yatsura as it evolved a look that was distinct from the source material. Stuff not adapted from a manga like Creamy Mami also looked nice imo.

Not only are you wrong about the animation (the skipping movement is intentional because that's the excessive they are doing) but you're ignoring the fact that 90% of animation made in the entire world is made as cheaply as possible. Stop talking about things, you're far too stupid.
