Anime and American Cartoons

in #animation8 years ago

Eyy, first post
So, Today in class me and these two other people I haven't really talked to had to make a poster together.
We come up with our idea, then my first partner asks my other partner what is their drawing style like, so she replies with "It is sort of a cross between Adventure Time and manga." To which I say "That is pretty good mix."
Then my first partner busts into a rage about how Adventure Time and cartoons, are not allowed to be compared with anime because it is a higher quality of animation.
So of course I respond with "I am pretty sure that all animations are all based on your opinions and how you view them."
This then causes her to have a feminist like breakdown to just spurting out random BS.
How can people be so arrogant and rude, to not let you even try to have a discussion or criticize something they like.
I am done with humans
Peace

Sort:  

I'm an anime lover and I love to promote the medium. That being said, it's a vessel and as such is no better than what is put into it. To say that anime is about quality is to mistake style for substance.

As people who don't live in Japan we already have had what anime we are exposed to filtered. We only see what others have deemed worth sharing. There is plenty of dreck nobody knows about. As an example, do a web search for "Gundou Musashi" and experience the awfulness of this 2006 anime that looks like something that would have been considered bad in the '70s.

Also, what you said, "all animations are all based on your opinions and how you view them," is completely right. Value is subjective, not just for art, but for everything in life.
