Good, when it happens we'll radicalize weeaboos too.
Aaron Hall
almost all low level anime production is outsourced to korea/china/indonesia with japanese animators doing the higher level stuff like key frames and shit. Anime in general has most of the budget go towards the voice talent so it won't really change much
Asher Bennett
anime may be one of the most capitalistic things in the world tbqh
Wyatt Myers
As if the industry couldn't get any worse.
Brody Perez
There is no ethical consumption under capitalism.
Also worth mentioning the golden age of the industry was filled with lefties.

Why do voice actors get so much money? It's the easiest thing to do
Jeremiah Bennett
Because that's usually what otakus pay attention to. They don't care who the art director or writer is, but they sure as hell can tell which seiyuu voiced what character. They're immensely popular and that's also why it's so easy to create derivatives such as radio dramas, idol shows, etc.
Brody Walker
At very least, tweening could be automated.

But user, it's okay because they live in a racially homogeneous society. :^(
Jaxson Walker
Democratic economies are a mistake
Jonathan Kelly
What does that have to do with anything? Nobody ever claimed racially homogeneous societies have 0 problems, just that they have 1 fewer problem.
Aiden Peterson
how is a lack of racial homogeneity even a problem in itself
John Jones
No racism
Jaxson Morris
Ainus, Ryukyukans, Burakumins and Zainichis beg to differ…
Ian Jones
On the bright side there are now a lot of talented voice actors in Japan.
Josiah Cox
Because their fans want to rape them.
Charles Brooks
Daily reminder if you like anime and weeb shit, you're not a true proletariat.
Anime is as capitalist as it gets to begin with. Read up on the conditions for animators. It's horrible with among the worst worker rights violations in of any industry.
Josiah Baker
Japan is a sad country.
Juan Carter
Daily reminder if you eat, you're not a true proletariat.
Eating is as capitalist as it gets to begin with. Read up on the conditions for farm workers, drivers, and grocery employees. It's horrible with among the worst worker rights violations in of any industry.
Isaac Hall
Why the hell not? It has been the same rehashed shit for thirty years anyway.
Dylan Diaz
FTFY
Torrenting or bust.
Jose Martinez
I lol'd.
Brandon Brown
I want a submissive, blonde hair, blue eyed Japanese gf so fucking bad. She would cosplay around the house, and we could play vidya all day, and I would feel like a fucking god taking her around my town, or showing her off to my parents.

Adachi is a pretty hardcore kinda dude. He lived for almost thirty years in Lebanon and had contacts with the PFLP.

The prospect of AI replacing artists because of their ability to "deep learn" shallow techniques is pretty absurd. Art is nothing without the soul behind it. Computers, as far as we know, don't have souls. They will never be able to animate water, hair and wind the way that Miyazaki does. This is because artists put a bit of themselves into everything they do. If there's no soul behind it, it will never look right.
The "Robber Child" movie or whatever that Miyazaki mentioned in the article as being horrific, the author called it corpselike? He's absolutely right. The animation in that one is awful, I saw the preview and noped out of it immediately.
Same thing goes with rotoscoped works, like A Scanner Darkly or Anastasia. Shit don't look right.

It's been getting better in recent years with the advent of Twitter and such, where more direct connections between fans and non-VA staff are taking place. The biggest problem in the past was that there really wasn't any meaningful way to give animators and such exposure to the fanbase: they'd have little to contribute to something like a con panel, and staff like animators are generally tied to a specific studio so the works they'll have experience working on will be limited (as opposed to a VA who will have had experience working on any number of projects of different genres and studios).
It's still a niche following though, and Japanese production studios (or any Japanese company for that manner) are generally pretty adamant about not changing their production models regardless of outrcry or even sometimes economic sense.
Angel Hernandez
Because they're famous.
Did you even have to ask?
Charles Hall
I agree. People don't seem to understand how insanely complex AI programming is and how slowly it has progressed. I'm not saying AI won't be able to create good works of art forever, but in my opinion that's some distant future scifi shit. For now computers are simply a tool and nothing more.
Cooper James
I'm getting the feeling that AI is becoming the "nuclear power" of the 2010s-30s. Sure it has a ton of potential and absolutely a lot of jobs are going to be replaced, but I wonder how many of these projections will follow through.
It will be interesting to see, for sure.
Adam Jones
Most of the figure for "A-list voice actor" is coming from royalties from music and concert performances. Voice acting itself pays like absolute dogshit, and the vast, vast majority voice actors have to work part time jobs to support themselves
Jaxson Butler
That's… barely more than my mom makes living on fucking disability income.
Jordan Edwards
Yeah, most animators do it out of a profound love for animation. Really just makes the whole situation that much sadder.
