Before everything, I want to make ir clear it's not my intention

Gotta get with the times, gramps.
Pokémon was losing overall views, so they had to change that old-ass artstyle to something fresh and new.

>>33420586
Lots of people with shit taste that roam on this board think it's actually good.
That's why it's allowed to do such abominable things to good character designs.

>>33420586
They wanted a silly cartoony art style because they wanted that Yokai Watch money and Yokai Watch is a comedy show.
Pokemon is not a comedy show, but it's never been super serious or a grand sweeping epic either.

>>33420586
The art style now fits more with what the show's target audience is. Kids. It's a cartoon for kids and now it looks the way it should instead of trying to look like an action series.

t. Someone who hates the show and thinks it should have ended ages ago.

Gen 1 Ash was created with the idea that the anime wouldn't last that long, so they went with a more complex design.
I fucking ADORE Gen 1 anime's cell shaded look and overall style but I can tell you that the characters did not move around much at all. It looks great in stills, but as a moving feature it's not even average.
Gen 7 Ash was made to move around and be expressive, if you actually watched a single episode of SM, you'd know Ash gets REALLY into the battles now, VS literally every other generation where he was standing around either yelling or pointing. I can't even tell you how many times they reused the stock footage of him throwing a Pokeball in Gen 1.
tl;dr Ash is getting focus in battles instead of just the Pokemon, and it's really made me like him.
Not that it matters though. I hate when something Gen 1 related happens and /vp/ gets flooded with normalfags who don't actually give a shit about the series past muh childhood. Same shit with GO.

Not at all, this kind of artstyle is used in a more "adult oriented" animes too.

Clam the fuck down. Ashnime's main target audience are little kids (Kodomo).

They literally made a smart choice.

SM Ash is cute and expressive which is relatable for little kids, it's target audience.

However, SM Ash is still competent, strong and sometimes even badass, which is what you, my autistic oldfags, should be happy about.


XY Ash wasn't relatable for kids.

BW Ash was, but he was a shit Trainer.

Poor kids these day....
I remember when I was a kid, I loved Japanese anime because it was well drawn and hated American garbage cartoon because art style was shit (on purpose with that)
I mean, between Pokemon/Captain Tsubasa/Cat's Eyes and Hey Arnold!/Sponge Bob/Looney Toons, the choice was quickly made
A shame pokemon (and many other japanese anime nowdays) decided to follow the American route....

>>33420690
Good animation>>>>"good" artstyle.
It's an anime, if i want to see stills i read the manga.

Cool. I'm glad they're not putting effort into the fight, and instead are animating Ash flail around like a retard.
We Yu-Gi-Oh now!

>>33420713
True, but style is subjective. I personally think SM's more expressive cartoony bouncy style fits Pokemon just fine and works well with the more fluid animation we have now.
And it's fine if you don't like it personally, but way too many people on 4chan think their taste dictates objective quality.

>>33420586

Stop being a fucking moron. You are not the intended target audience for the anime. Grow the fuck up and stop being entitled.

>>33420746

Yeah, I remember the good old times when autists like you didn't bitch about cartoons that weren't intended for them.

I'm sorry but the cruel fact is that nobody in the staff in charge of this anime gives a shit about what you or I say. Does it look shit? MAYBE.

But the kids like it, and the ratings are good, and in the end that is all what matters. Posts like yours, and threads like this in general make me lose hope in humanity. Knowing that I have to breathe the same air as the scum who is posting this trash day by day because they can't make peace with the fact that their opinion is irrelevant and that there are actual children, the actual target audience, who likes it, who enjoys it.

So fuck off, and grow up. I have no idea how old you really are, but you are acting like a complete brat.

>>33420799
I think it looks objectively better than the original art style. That's not the same as praising an artist that literally just drew a stripe on a canvas, you mouth breather.

>>33420586
Anon, you're assuming the ashnime is made with the intent of producing a quality product which is not the case. This is a show literally made for you to get tired of because of how bad it is. Nobody thought it was a good idea because nobody involved cares about whether its a good idea or not.

Out of curiosity, how has the ratings been in Japan since they made the change? Did the art style change actually benefit the series, or did it cause more people to drop the series then bring in new viewers?

>>33420620
old luffy was much better.

>>33420892
Ratings are a bit higher than the tail end of XYZ, which corresponds with the usual tenendcy: each start of a series gets a ratings bump over the last series' end. It's usually around 3.something, but on some occasions has gone under 3.0 too.

Funny how people keep regurgitating the whole "it looks simple so it'll animate beautifully!" yet can never give any good example of SM actually being extremely well animated on a consistent episode to episode basis like they all said it would be at the beginning all cause of one faggot who thought he was smarter than everyone for creating the headcanon just to be a contrarian in the first place.

Prove to me right now that there are well animated scenes for the entirety of every episode of SM that justify it's shitty art style like you all said it would. You can skip the baseball episode because that's literally the only except where the whole episode actually does move good AND look good at the same time.

None of the other series had people basting that it would be smoothly animated 24/7 like SM apparently would be, so they all get a pass. Even BW. SM, on the other hand, has some explaining to do.

So get to it or shut up and fuck off.

The art style in SM is great. The only problem is Ash.

>>33421071
Check the last episode. Iwane's work, 10/10.

>>33421160
Nope. Majority that episode just looked "okay" in the animation department and wasn't consistently free-flowing in movement or any of that other junk you folks seem to like.

Not to mention that episode was boring as sin.

>>33421142
Ash and Team Rocket. They honestly look even worse than he does and that's saying something.

>>33421142
Ash is the main problem but not the only one
Far ginger is retarded looking too
And so are Brock and Misty
Characters are a problem overall

>>33420598
They can change it into another style that's easier on the eyes. What's to say that they cannot explore the different kinds of anime styles out there and still retain true to the target demographic?

They changed to a more cartoony "bubbly" art style to appeal kids. Heck, even USUM Heroes have that vibe. Don't forget that it's a show for little kids.

>>33421391
Because it's not objectively shittier just because you don't like it?

>>33421391
>objectively shittier
It boils down to preferences and you know it. Personally I think the new artstyle looks great, what's wrong with the characters looking and acting goofy? It's a show for kid's and it fits imo.
>>33421071

I'm pretty sure nobody said this since we all know that this is the Pokemon anime where nobody gives a shit about quality control outside of the key episodes anyways.

In the 90s, kids were given good looking anime
Why can't it be anymore?
Kids don't necessarily prefer retarded looking stuff
That's why in the 90s they'd choose DragonBall over Looney Tunes and why in the 2000s they'd choose Pokemon over SprongeBob

If it's bad is probably cause it seems to waste time on random bullshit that doesn't really amount to much.

But aside from that and the Ash design. It's decent.

>>33421517

Because it's poorly drawn, you massive autist

>common opinions count for nothing
Exactly. And now that I think about it, I probably really chose that example because I think the simpsons in general are very subpar. However, I don't care if that is the opinion of many others since it is an opinion I came to on my own accord, if you get what I'm trying to say.

I know. You literally fucked over your own point right there.

Also, "modern Simpsons is shit compared to classic Simpsons" is an incredibly common opinion, just like "SM looks like shit compared to XY and the older series" is.

>>33422674
Literally triggered.

>>33422686
Literally his perfectly valid opinion, according to chummy here.

>>33422686

It's just a different art style and objectively not inferior to OP's pics because anons here have decided there can't be objectivity in tastes

>>33422685
>I know. You literally fucked over your own point right there.
I'm sorry for that mistake.
>Also, "modern Simpsons is shit compared to classic Simpsons" is an incredibly common opinion,
My whole point was that it doesn't matter if an opinion is common or not but if it's an opinion backed by facts, arguments and logic.
Also, I think that simpsons as a whole is bad, read my previous post again.

>>33422694
Define objectivity.

>>33422692
You didn't understand the point I was trying to make at all. Just because you keep posting your shitty image macros with OS at the top and SM at the bottom doesn't make SM's artstyle bad per se. Why don't you try to argumentate against it instead? What do you dislike about it?

>>33422743

Probably. But there's 38 posters in this one, and that isn't OP and 37 anons that think SM looks perfectly fine.

>>33422797
Fair point.

Negative.

SpongeBob is absolute trash that should've been discarded 15 years ago.

>>33422803
Season 1-3 was good imo

>>33420586
I agree OP. The new art style is truly revolting. Lost all of the charm the original had.

>>33422829
Yeah, it was passable, which is why I said 15 years. It premiered 18 years ago.

>>33420690
Of course the amerisharts would force their shitty art style onto Japan, the country they stole all their animation techniques from. Which is obvious if you're not retarded, that's why amerilards cartoons look awful and are terribly animated, they never learned how to properly apply those stolen techniques onto their style of animation.

>>33423106

Disney movies are famous for their incredible animation quality. If anything, Japan has been influenced by the huge impact of the West.

They're not even going to watch those two episodes, all they need to know is that their childhoods are in mortal danger because of changes to a show they stopped watching years ago.

Disney has reused animation in the past, but that anon acting like that means Disney isn't widely regarded as the best in the business is really stupid.

people in this thread are talking about how anime hasn't been good since the 90s and shit, but there's so much quality shit out there. Just because they don't air it on whatever children's TV channel airs anime nowadays doesn't mean there isn't some good shit

Here are some shows I like off the top of my head: Baccano!, Kids on the Slope, Gurren Lagann, Kill la Kill, Space Dandy, Ping Pong: The Animation, the Tatami Galaxy, One-Punch Man, Samurai Champloo, Code Geass. I'm about to watch Steins;Gate because my friends have been roasting me for not watching it (and people jerk themselves off over it a lot), and I really want to watch Your Lie in April.

I don't have the most refined taste in anime, but goddamn there's been some good shit depending on what you like to watch.

The show aired in the mid to late 2000s, so the final product was probably animated using digital software. I think the key animation drawings were hand drawn though

pic related: key animation drawings to final animation

it's pretty simple... just look at the ANIMATED movement from everyone... I honestly prefer this style over any of the others if it's easier on the animators to make...

>>33424297
I've seen a couple of shows on your list, really want to watch Gurren Lagann at some point. Props for OPM, Space Dandy, and Kill La Kill. Shitposts aside I also like JoJo
Is My Hero Academia any good?

WHY DO YOU CARE

THE ANIME HAS SUCKED FOR 2 DECADES

>>33424558
Oh, that's cool, thanks anon.

>>33424694
Yeah it's really good

>>33424694

Gurren Lagann has a really strong S1, and then S2 kind of dawdles but has a really strong finish. The animation is gorgeous though, and it's good for a lot of fun and hype.

JoJo's is fucking hilarious and I love the episodes I've seen but man it's loooooong

I don't usually like shonen, it tends to drag and kinda get boring, but I think My Hero Academia is pretty good. Partially because of a bunch of really good characters (All Might and Bakugo come to mind) and also partially because of the fact that it kind of embraced the shonen style at its purest instead of dressing it up as something it's not. It's been very good so far.

>>33424716

no problem!

>>33424756
Well the reason I like JoJo is because not only was it a nice ride with the anime (and having watched Part 4 AFTER reading it I can say the anime flat out improved it with the acting, Shigechi's death being even sadder animated than in stills), but when I get to things like Parts 7 and 8 the art style just looks so unique and gorgeous I can't help but love it for the art alone.

My interest in things like Kill La Kill and OPM could've probably stemmed from the fact I grew up on DBZ.

It's not a big deal. Ash looks different every series. This is just a noticeable change, and it was done for the sake of expressive animation. It'll be different in a couple years from now as well, so there's no point in complaining. There were also more changes to Ash besides clothes in each series. In Hoenn, his hair looked softer and went down. Sometimes the size and shape of his eyes are altered, along with where the outlines begin and end. The zig-zags on his cheeks can be rounder in one series while he may not have any indication of sideburns in another. If you compare each Ash, you'll notice some very subtle differences between each one.

Shit yeah, definitely watch TTGL. Like starting tonight. It's such a feelgood series that will get your blood boiling with levels of hype you've never experienced before. It got me out of a bad funk back in 2011. Only problem is that the adrenaline is like an addiction and you'll enter another funk looking for stuff just like it for a period of time. It is the kind of anime that makes you wonder why you didn't watch it earlier because that's how big it'll be in your life for a while. Think of Kill la Kill, but with 5x the budget and zero restraint.

I'm saying that variety is the spice of life and those who are upset about the style change shouldn't be because it's just going to change again when the next series comes out. That's how it's always been. This idea that the anime adaptations of Pokémon must all be the same is idiotic.

Toriyama does. Dragonball doesn't look notably different from his other work.

>>33426413
