Recent Anime?

If you won't watch anything influenced by Jews or Japanese then you are watching nothing.

Hard to see why this wasn't a blockbuster.

ACADMY AWARD WINNING CUCKIME RIGHT THERE

Americans shedding tears of rage as usual.

I didn't say anything about cartoons and neither did the people I quoted.

get the fuck out

They aren't the same thing.

Under The Dog after not watching them for two years, but it wasn't very good. I dumped kekstarter dough on it too. At least it was well-drawn though.

I like them on a technical level since I do art and animation, but live action films are always better to me.

A lot of animu is very hard to watch. There's a few minutes of good cuts out of the several bad ones. I only keep an eye out for trademark cuts done by Hiroyuki Okiura, Tetsuya Nishio, or Mitsuo Iso.

They aren't bad cuts just because they have less animation or less ostentatious animation, and there's a lot of good animators besides Okiura et al.

...

Deal with it horsefucker

You right, there are some cartoons that are at least watchable.

There are more anime that are watchable.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Under_the_Dog

Only the nips can come up with titles like that.

On behalf of Holla Forums, please commit seppeku

Why?

If you have a combination of severe asperger's and incredibly low standards.

People like you are why I'm against allowing animation discussion on Holla Forums you have two choices:
Go back the shit hole known as /a/

Or shove a katana in your stomach

Kill yourself rulefag.

Anime is quality and ponies are shit. Go back to /pone/

Kill yourself kike.

The production quality of American shows is at rock bottom compared to anime.

They aren't.

Americans are the most likely to get upset about anime.

You brought up cartoons out of nowhere.

Anime is cartoons, but inferior. Faggot.

Cartoons are cartoons. Be they nip or western. Save your delusions of grandeur for the crunchyroll forum you assuredly have thousands of posts on.

That wasn't me, and cartoons and anime are sub genres of animation but they're still the same.

Those cuts stick out like a sore thumb though, in a way where you can easily tell where you can tell that they put a very low amount of effort to it. I noticed it a lot in animu like Shingeki No Kyojin and Mardock Scramble.

Animu is still watchable, but I would rather watch film instead.

They are less pozzed than modern shitcom cartoons, but film does all genres better than both anime and cartoons.

I watched Bastard recently. It's a fantasy anime. Kinda reminds me of He-Man. Also all the characters and places are named after Metal bands which is fuck'n sweet!

no i'm not mad. I like the animation and the aesthetic so it's actually frustrating to me that 99% of anime is boring and shallow

Tbf at least anime isn't filled with feminist and social justice shit.

They are different forms of animation, and anime is objectively better.

I never said cartoons aren't cartoons, I just said anime and cartoons aren't the same thing.

What delusions of grandeur?

Cartoons and anime are different on very fundamental levels.

It's not about low effort, it's about conserving time. There is limited time in TV animation production (and in movie production, but it's less of an issue there). It's not possible to have peak animation quality for 240-480 minutes while releasing episodes on a weekly schedule.

While anime is extremely similar to live action, it's not just an animated replacement for it.

Meme.

Pretentiousness.

...

I don't watch much anime, but I recently watched through Serial Experiment Lain for the first time. Enjoyed it.

You don't want quality, you want to associate yourself with works that are considered "deep" so that you will be seen as sophisticated.

You mean like faggots who say anime isn't cartoons so they can be seen as sophisticated?

They simply aren't the same thing.

mentioned Lain, so here's clips from that show:
youtube.com/watch?v=nfYuUhjjzGA
youtube.com/watch?v=fhzZkBBsx3k
youtube.com/watch?v=xVf7fiQG1NM

And this is a representative example of a cartoon:
youtube.com/watch?v=wM1DgihKHVI

In what universe are they supposed to be the same thing?

They are and always will be the same thing.

That's an arbitrary, irrational and counter-factual claim.

That first video wasn't even animation. The rest were cartoons with different art direction.

It's a mockumentary, or something like it, that plays in several parts during an episode.

The entire underlying philosophy and filmmaking approach of Lain is completely different from cartoons, it goes far beyond art direction. If you claim it's a cartoon then you must also concede that live action movies are cartoons as well.

...

Animation and cartoons are interchangeable terms you fucking sperg.

Cartoons are still images played back at high speed to create the illusion of movement. Live action cinema is still images played back at high speed to create the illusion of movement. Therefore, cartoons and live action cinema are the same thing.

Lain–along with anime in general–also has the same principles and goals as live action cinema.

Anime(me):

К И Н О :

If they were, then we wouldn't see such drastic differences in how the words are used in various Wikipedia articles. For example, Anime has only FOUR instances of "cartoon," which are the following:

Anime is never referred to as cartoons, and cartoons are only referenced twice. Differences between anime and cartoons are emphasized in both cases.

Modern animation in the United States has 44 matches. Some of the first ones:

Walt Disney Animation Studios has 42 matches. Studio Ghibli has ONE match, which is a link to the Cartoon Brew website in the references section. And so on.

There are also other things that tell us the terms are not interchangeble.

As I told you already, it's fine that you haven't watched anime. You don't have to make things up to make it seem like you have.

I bet you also argue about the HUGE DIFFERENCE between comic books and graphic novels.

That definition is as correct as defining a rectancle as a geometric shape. It is a geometric shape, yes, but triangles and circles are also geometric shapes. Are rectangles, triangles and circles all the same thing, then?

cuckime isn't art

Then neither is anything else.

wewlad, you're really insecure about your chinese fingerpaintings aren't you?

Anime = cartoon. Deal with it.

So no cartoons have ever been made anywhere since the switch to digital production. Why are you guys in here discussing a dead medium?

wewlad, isn't it about time you went back to Reddit?

Then why do those differences in word usage exist? Why are we even arguing about this in the first place? Why do people so often make arguments like "you don't want anime to be called cartoons because you think it's more sophisticated than that," or "you're just insecure about watching cartoons"? People pretend cartoon is nothing more than a synonym for animation, but their own words always betray them.

Since /a/ is a shithole might as well settle down on this new host.

recently been watching Tonkatsu DJ, anymore shows with similar vibe?

Which anime subreddit do you think he should check out? There are hundreds I'm sure.

What? I was just saying there are like maybe three or four interesting anime, the rest of it is boring and shallow.

Your one word responses are actually extremely pretentious. Check out the definition of the word because I don't think you really know what it means.

interstingly though SJW types fucking love anime. I think it's how soft (most of it) is. And cutesy.

Also, anime is pretty much always gurllll power because female characters are always as physically strong as the males. Not to mention tons of degeneracy in many of them, usually disguised as a gag about one particular character being a pervert. It's no coincidence that most people who watch tons of anime (and feel an autistic urge to defend it online) also masturbate to it. It's sexualized and degenerate by nature.

i'll give you that it's less SJW than most western media but don't pretend it's not still morally bankrupt

redditor detected

Because the mod is a faggot who somehow managed to make this board even shittier.

Boku no pico was pretty good this season

They don't. You're the only one who thinks they do.

webm related

false

I only tell truth.

This is also a meme. People watch a couple of the most popular anime, and then deduce from assumptions, fear-mongering, stereotypes, rumors and purportedly true second hand accounts that the rest is bad.

You are actually extremely pretentious, which is exactly why I said you are.

Westerners are obsessed with sex and have a scarcity mentality towards it (as if we were living in the 80s and porn wasn't trivially available), so of course they focus a lot on it, even beyond the point of reason. That said, people also masturbate to live action, but the difference is that that's considered (more) socially acceptable.

Western media is by far more "sexualized" and "degenerate." Anime almost never features sex, promiscuity or cheating, and the vast majority of the sexual content is innocent and humorous.

It's normal to capitalize it just like it's normal to capitalize Google or Wikipedia.

I'm not going to watch it. If you have a point to make then make one.

You make things up.

What the fuck is happening to the board?

Kind of ironic since they hate seeing beauty and get triggered by fanservice.

Depends on what type of anime you're watching. And usually these type of female characters in anime still have a feminine side to them. They're not 100% manly.

The sexual content is just ass and tits. Not seeing the problem with that. Weird fetish shit like traps or yaoi aren't that mainstream or common unless you're going out of your way to look for it.

...

I make things up?? Things such as anime is illustrated, anime uses montage, anime has emotional manipulations such as sad music for sad scenes, anime relies on plot, anime is not meditative, and anime grills are purposefully lewd or cute? You wanna know my opnion? In my opinion, everything I wrote is objectively correct.

Anime is POSHLOST.

I didn't use Wikipedia as a SOURCE, I was talking about the way Wikipedia's articles use the word itself.

Yes.

Webm related, too bad there won't be a Season 3 anytime soon

You better explain with logic, or else you should just head back to tumblr.

Ok, briefly:
So are paintings.

So does does cinema.

So does cinema.

So does cinema.

Depends on the anime and your definition of meditative.

Live action actresses are purposefully chosen for their attractiveness.

And they're probably edited by insecure weebs like yourself. Doesn't change the fact that anime are cartoons.

We bought this on ourselves and there is no salvation

This is an unsubstantiated conspiracy theory, and there are other signs that people don't treat the words as interchangeable, such as the fact that we're arguing about this at all or the fact that people who are against anime will go out of their way to refer to it as cartoons and will constantly imply that cartoon and animation are not synonymous.

They are fundamentally different and have virtually no similarities beyond being animated, but by this logic live action cinema and cartoons are also the same since they're both still images projected in rapid succession to generate the illusion of movement.

Cartoon:
youtube.com/watch?v=pAcXt-NOb1U

Anime:
youtube.com/watch?v=_5drqzTAx18

The anime has far more in common with live action than it does with the cartoon.

Are paintings even film? Jesus, what a dork.

No dipshit, montage was popularized and formalized by the commie jew Sergei Eisenstein in the 1920's. Kino directors including Tarkovsky despise the soviet montage theory.

Do you even understand how emotional manipulation works in cinema? Can you classify Stalker into any form of emotion?

Vid related. It's not found in anime.

For flicks maybe.

You're the only one in this thread who has a problem with calling anime cartoons.

DRAWN images, autiste.

What a shit tier cringeworthy dialogue. It's extremely preachy, they're trying to teach the audience knowledge instead of conveying man's longing for harmony. It's nothing but cartoon dialog.

This is the true kino dialogue.

Why is western entertainment always so shit?

I'm watching Slayers. Currently towards the end of Slayers Next. I hear a lot of people say Slayers Try isn't as good as the first two shows, but I'm going to give it try anyway. I just love these characters.

Anime is made for cuckolds.

That's cool

At least its entertaining. I fucking fall asleep during most of those HBO series

ITT: Weebcuckry enshrined.

Nice try

I watched noragami recently.
It was shit

Yes they are. It's 2d animation. Just made for different audiences. I'm pretty sure the only reason people say anime aren't cartoons is becuase of the terrible stigma cartoons have of being disposable rubbish for babies. Though these days anime also has a shit stigma so what's the point.

...

If you're complaining about anime being illustrated then you may as well complain about paintings.

Kino is a 4chan Holla Forums meme.

Does Stalker represent all cinema?

youtube.com/watch?v=ARTLckN9e7I
youtube.com/watch?v=MInjjp_FAiM
vimeo.com/149749446

Also a 4chan Holla Forums meme.

What about it?

If anime and cartoons are the same thing on the basis that they are both drawn, then it's equally true that cartoons and live action cinema are the same on the basis that they're both still images projected in rapid succession.

No, this is what "weebs" think cinema looks like. Animation isn't limited to cartoon animals bouncing around.

No, you are just desperate to associate it with cartoons by any means necessary because that way you can easily and conviniently dismiss it.

No they aren't.

That's retarded nonsensical reasoning. You seriously probably have autism.

Anime isn't cinema. It's cheap fluff made for children and young adults. i.e. cartoons

Anime is a superior art form to live action. It isn't even a contest.

...

No, that's completely valid logical reasoning. You arbitrarily decided that cartoons and anime are the same because of a very general similarity (both are animated), and it isn't any different from me declaring cartoons and live action and the same because of another very general similarity (both are rapidly projected still images giving the illusion of motion). By the same logic bicycles and cars are the same and triangles and circles are the same.

Anime has the highest production values of all animation, has developed animation further than anyone else, and makes more of it than anyone else. The industry is also mostly domestic, whereas in the US virtually all TV animation is outsourced to Korea (in the past Japan was also a popular destination for outsourcing).

I'm sure it was all because of laziness that Japan full-on modernized itself in a few decades and then built itself up to be the second biggest economy in the world after getting completely wrecked in the Pacific War.

Anime is cinema. It's made according to the same principles and has the same goals. Cartoons do not share those principles and goals. Anime and cartoons are two completely different things.

Pretty much everyone knows, including the Japanese, that anime is cartoons for teenagers.

What were we discussing here? PAINTINGS or MOTION PICTURES?

Kino is a Holla Forums exclusive definition for art cinema. It might get memed at times, but we know what it really stands for.

Stalker represent the purest form of cinema.

Are you kidding me? Look at all those jump cuts. None of these is deep focus shot. The GiTS and Biyori ones have music, you're not allowed to have a non-subtle music in scenes like these, only non melodic electronic score that blends with the natural noise is allowed, vid related. Not to mention that these all look nothing like real life.

If you dislike our community terms, you should go back to reddit.

Why can't we just get American studio/budgets with anime story premises, British (Black Adder tier) writing and without all the cultural marxism?

There are 3 purposes of film narrative:
First, to entertain the audience.
Second, to tell a point, or in other words to advance the story.
Third, to preach, to tell a textbook knowledge of the director's.
And the last, it has an aesthetic purpose like a poem.

To be an art cinema, this last point should be the main focus of your narrative. All forms of escapism and assertive idea propagation must be left out in favor of conveying an aesthetically pleasing expression of art. The second point is always important, but the last point is even more because a story that is progressed without any aesthetic is dry. To entertain the audience and to assert the director's idea are the cheapest ways to create a piece of narrative. This is why your anime is no different from cartoon. It's cheap.

It's a comedy FLICK. If you want elaborate dialogues without resorting into comedy all the time, try Ingmar Bergman.

I can't find the exact quote, but didn't Tarkovsky outright admit that he wasn't satisfied with his use of music in his films?

What a dream…
Because of the jews and having to appeal to the widest audience. But it would be awesome to have a true american released ecchi that pisses off the right people.

Tarkovsky was a hack who wouldn't be trusted to be a fetchboy for Japanese creators. Slavs are incapable of artistic achievement.

are you talking about genndy tartakovsky? the creator of Samurai Jack. He is damn good how dare you besmirch his good name.

According to Sculpting in Time, Artemyev's bizzare electronic soundtrack is the exact kind of music he wanted. Maybe he was dissatisfied with Bach and Rublev's soundtrack, but certainly not Artemyev.

>>>/a/

But Samurai Jack isn't an anime so it should be on Holla Forums instead.

There's anime for all demographics, and there is no clear distinction between anime for teenagers and anime for adults. Teenagers are a bogeyman you people bring up every time this topic comes up.

Anime and cartoons are two different forms of animation.

By your logic paintings are bad. Don't try to dodge this.

There's "art cinema" in anime too.

Whatever that means.

No.

You don't make the rules.

They do.

If you can't talk about cinema without le epic memes, you should go back to Reddit.

Americans don't do animation anymore, aside from 3D rendered animation. And even when they were doing their own animation it wasn't as good as anime.

Anime and cartoons are fundamentally completely differerent and have nearly nothing in common. The closest equivalent to anime is live action cinema.

Anime is not cheap, and it's full of "artistic" works.

none because im not a weebish fag

Being weeaboo means being wannabe Japanese. Watching anime doesn't make anyone wannabe Japanese any more than watching Kurosawa or reading Murakami does.

Haven't really been watching any chinese cartoons lately (finished SZS couple months ago), but Toradora! is almost finished downloading. Been on my backlog for a really long time and it's about time I watched it.

Any suggestions, fam? Anything with cute girls is good, like Black Bullet or Kodomo no Jikan.

I dont know what any of that means you japophile, keep your pets and children away from this guy

You don't even even know that weeb is short for weeaboo? Jesus christ.

trolled lolz.

Summary of this thread:
"Cartoon and animation are interchangeable terms. All anime are cartoons, but not all cartoons are anime."

Which anime?

Good summary

anime = japanese cartoons

Yes, exactly.

Hitler-senpai is so kawaii~

Jesus, the sound to loud for that video. I'm not sure where everything is in relation to everything else…that horse came out of nowhere and had no impact on any of the other shots, it might as well not of existed…

It was quite obvious that the audio was added in post-production. The audio didn't time up with the lip movements. Therefore breaking the 4th wall and immersion resulting in it taking me out of the film.

Not him, but I presume he meant that this was superior eastern entertainment.

Embarrassingly banal scene from a terrible flick. Tarkovsky should of became a priest, religion would of been a much better conduit for his bullshit philosophizing than art. Solaris is simply just a highly overrated art house film. I generally disdain poor thought and Dogma, as authoritative truth presented as high art, though I am often willing to give a pass to art that excels at a technical level (Tark's films almost get a pass (that credit would go to Rerberg), Haneke not a chance). I recently watched some David Lean and Fred Zinnemann films, saw at least two films I would consider greats. Tark's films fall under the Dogma category. Watch the last quarter of the film again, listen closely to the conversation between Kris and Hari before the levitation scene. I would also recommend reading Lem's book to see how dumbed down this adaptation is. Though I think I would exclude Ivan's childhood and some of his student films from these criticisms.

Isn't every frame in a motion picture a painting? Isn't filmmaking simply painting in time?

Mise en scene is not simply for telling the point of the scene. Tarkovsky was just showing life on earth in a poetic way. The relation? It gives more aesthetic reason to Kris' and other scientists' homesickness.

mkay

How are Tarkovsky's films Dogma? Dogma is a perversion of the French New Wave genre that films, and Tarkovsky didn't even associate himself with New Wave directors. Both films have resemblance in their purpose of showing reality, but Dogma filmmakers have weak grasp of reality. They show perverted reality while Tarkovsky showed poetic reality. Dogma films have zero technical quality (handheld camera, no lighting, etc) while Tarkovsky was very serious in filming his scenes to emphasize their aesthetics. Because for Tarkovsky, truth is what and how humans perceive other humans and nature, not simply capturing reality with a camera. Watch Zerkalo, how can that film categorized as either New Wave or Dogma?

Fred Zinnemann was a great film director, I love High Noon and The Nun's Story, but I wouldn't consider him as an art film director.

But the purpose of art cinema is to show truth and create life. Art paintings have different purpose. Here in kino, suspension of disbelief must be eliminated. The unbelievable has no place, only the believable. Illustration is unbelievable. Maybe genre paintings can work the same way cinema does, but what is the purpose of using paintings that are based on everyday life when you can use real authentic people and set for that purpose?

Well, I do believe that cinema is a better art form than painting. Do I consider paintings bad? No, it just isn't as aesthetically pleasing as cinema. I love Flemish art that captures many ordinary people's activity at the same time from a unique perspective. Imagery in anime scenes looks like deviantart, their scope is too small and they look nothing like truth, I don't like them.

Proof it, then.

Untainted by Romanticism, special effects, pompousness, emotional manipulations, cheap techniques, etc.

Is it wrong if I want my films to feel more authentic?

/a/ and Holla Forums would give everything they have to have your eyes.

You write like 9gag.

*autistic

Untranslateable Russian word that probably can be described as "the banality of synthetic ideas and forms", "the lack of spirituality", "worship of the world", hedonism, materialism, and such. It's hard to describe, but I can tell that Holla Forumsirgins fit every descriptions of poshlost.

Forced emotional scenes.

What?

Define romanticism, pompousness, cheap techniques, and "forced emotional scene".

Open wikipedia mong.

Do you not have a dictionary?

handicam tier filming without production value

Basically what you see in drama flicks.

...

The psuedointellectual fagtalk in this thread is off the charts.

It may be artistic but it is also cheap.

The actual animation in anime is very limited because they don't have the time or money for anything elaborate, their style is high detail plus limited motion or low detail and high motion. They sometimes try to compensate with terrible CGI.

The only thing they have in common is that they are animation. Otherwise everything is different. They don't have the same objectives or the same methods or the same assumptions about animation.

No, they are not interchangeable terms. No, anime is not cartoons.

No.

You are either lying, conceding that you don't actually know anything about anime, or conceding that your sense of aesthetics is at an infant's level.

No matter what examples are cited, you have already pre-determined that they cannot be valid even if you have never heard of them before.

Is that what we were talking about? No.

What are you talking about?

You're the one spouting memes.

See, you're doing it again. This is a meme.

Anime's animation is more advanced than Western animation's.

Left: painting
Right: deviantart

Sounds like you're just losing the argument.

Well of course, how many times do I have to tell you that cinema has the potential to be the most truthful form of art?

You see the world around you as anime.

But you're the one who say memes all the time.

See screenshots.

No it doesn't.

You still don't make the rules.

Where did I say that?

Because you keep spouting them.

A few more.

Deviantart tier.

When you said that animes look like real life.

Not a real word.

If you mean they could be posted on Deviantart, then sure. There are a lot of very high quality works on DA. If Deviantart-tier is supposed to mean shit, then you are, again, either lying, conceding that you don't actually know anything about anime, or conceding that your sense of aesthetics is at an infant's level.

It does. How does that mean I see the world around me as anime?

Generic: having no particularly distinctive quality or application. You could at least post Hayao Miyazaki, I kinda like his Arthur Rackham esque style. It has been imitated by too many people though. And even Rackham is still nowhere near Piotr Bruegel's level.

Highly skillful maybe, but they're all bland and uninspired. Like Hitler's paintings.

Come on, stop baiting us.

People keep using "generic" to "criticize" every conceivable aspect of anime completely regardless of whether the thing they're "criticizing" could possibly meet the definition of the word. Therefore the word means nothing. You have nobody to blame but yourselves.

No they're not.

How is it baiting to make a factual statement?

While I love watching cute girls doing cute things, and love watching lolis doing loli things even more, I do not approve of yuri shit.

Not even memeing

Heterosexual moeshit only please.

It's not my fault animes are recycled trash.

Without reasoning again, eh?

How can you actually believe that statement?

You're not.

They aren't, and it is your fault that generic is a meaningless word.

That's rich coming from you.

Because it's self-evidently true.

Yeah okay kid

What do you consider "heterosexual moeshit"? I never really considered some girls occasionally acting gay around each other yurishit since it usually doesn't go anywhere.
Also I almost forgot Non Non Biyori, though that has one dyke character in it she doesn't lez out on anyone.

As long as the girls don't get all touchy-blushy with each other more than once or twice, I'm okay with it. Girls kissing is out of the question unless I'm specifically looking to fap, then I'll just watch hentai.

And it isn't because it disgusts me or anything, I actually like seeing it, but not when I'm not in the mood to fap. It makes me wish I was the little girl and the one kissing her~

What objectives? What methods? What assumptions about animation?

Is it wrong that I prefer the aesthetics of the right picture?
Define "scope". Define "the look of truth".

What would be a non-generic landscape painting?

What do you mean by "recycled"?

From the anime I listed, Ro-Kyu-Bu! is the only one that I remember having this (some of the girls grope and feel each other up, and the manga even has nipple sucking at one point)

I downloaded that and Moetan anyway. The artstyle of Mitsudomoe doesn't appeal to me and I thought Gochuumon wa usagi desu ka? was a lesbo anime so I didn't even bother, so I guess I will download that too

Actually there are some lesbos in it, but there isn't a ton of kissy stuff going on with them

Cartoons are animated Vaudeville. They're just short little diversions built on physical comedy, singing, dancing and crazy antics. Anime, like cinema, is about dramatic storytelling.

Cartoons don't use cinematic filmmaking techniques and principles, while anime does. The animation techniques also very different.

Anime assumes that animation can be used for any purpose, even for telling stories that are no different from ordinary live action dramas. Cartoons are just cartoons.

Why isn't this stuff obvious to people? Why does it need to be explained over and over again? You don't need a degree to figure this shit out.

Is there a boy (or man) one or more of them fall in love with/crush over? If so, I like that theme.

It has girls only.

That's disappointing. Girls only can sort of be cute-overload for me sometimes. Then again, put one boy in there and they all suddenly turn into harem animes, which are almost always universally complete shit, unless the male MC isn't a retarded, clueless faggot, and they always are.

definitely

...

Why not add /senran/, /2hu/, /a/ and Holla Forums, board owner?

You'd love it you fucking cuck

I don't really count opening/closing credits toward how overly cute an anime can be since these are almost always over the top anyway, and I usually only watch a season's opening/closing once.

There aren't even that many animu threads up right now. Hide them and/or learn how to ignore threads and posts you don't like.

Better yet, stop being a fag and just get into anime like everybody else who uses imageboards, you baka gaijin. That way you won't be triggered by half the entire website's content

I used to hate anime too, back in my newfaggot days on cuckchan, and then I gave it a chance

Seriously though, go watch Claymore or Elfen Lied

You should go back to cuckchan. That sentence will be factual there.

Too many triggerable leftists there. Can barely even say nigger anymore without getting banned.

If anything, you'd probably be more at home there, since anime isn't allowed on cuck/tv/.

How are the animation techniques different?

That song…it has the same or a similar melody to a English song…does anyone know what I am talking about?

It's okay, I love retarded girls

...

Have you seen Nichijou? It's one of the best moeshit anime since it's actually funny. Also none of the characters are gay.

No, not yet, but slice of life was never really my thing. I guess since Hotwheels likes it, and you say it's funny, I'll give it a shot though. I got turned off slice of life after attempting twice to watch Honey and Clover. Is it really that fucking boring or just 2deap4me?

Oh that's it, I always use the catalog.

I have no idea who the semen slut is. :^)

Just shift click the thread when using catalog to hide. Newfag.

I just tried it and it opens the thread up in a new window as well as hiding it.

I see Nichijou more as a surrealist sketch comedy than a regular SoL.

Well Japanese cinema used to be worthy of admiration. Not so much these days. Anime is and always was lowbrow trash.

What the fuck OS are you using? I just tried it and it worked fine, and I've never hidden threads directly from the catalog before.

Also, you didn't shift+middle mouse click, did you?

There's cartoons that cater to demographics other than kids. Doesn't mean the medium isn't mainly for and directed towards kids.

No she isn't.

She isn't a love interest. She is a partner and friend of the MC and they help each other get through the trials and tribulations of school and competition. She is a pretty enjoyable character since she is kind, honest, and hardworking. She grows a lot as the series progresses and comes into her own despite her self doubt by remaining true to her nature as a simple small town girl trying to do her best so she can help her family business grow and prosper.

So she is a walking genre cliche. No surprise there.

Then why does it always end up in SoL lists?

Go watch this film, faget.

nyaa.se/?page=view&tid=603811

Windows 7 64bit, regular Firefox, I don't have a mouse, I shitpost from a Thinkpad W520.

It's only mainly directed towards kids in western country's.

To be fair, this isn't hard for a character to achieve since there are so many fucking animes. It's getting rarer and rarer for characters to not be cliche'd tropes that fit into a cookie-cutter category anymore.

Pretty much. It would be better if she had something that made her more than that. Like giant tits and a verbal gimmick. Maybe have her end her sentences with wan and give a dog bone hair clip. I think it would work with her personality and make her really cute.

Terrible grammar. F-

Also, what country has cartoons mainly for adults? Anime is still the preferred style for teenagers.

Did you click the thread image from the catalog, or just click into the text field. If you clicked the title or image, yeah, it would open the thread.

It's not so much that, but rather the chinks are soulless cookie cutter people that only have a few personalities in real life. Since they aren't really individuals it is hard to make real characters out of ant people and not have it seem weird.

I genuinely laughed.

I wonder if nips can laugh at themselves for this reason

Is this review do it justice?

No, it all seems perfectly normal to them. Imagine how strange it would be to them to go to a human nation and see everyone acting completely differently and doing what they want without regard to their place or position? Probably pretty confusing and uncomfortable.

Tbh here's a good review flowchart.

Is this why animes with delinquents are almost universally funny and interesting, like Cromartie High School? Japs don't act like those characters.

In Japan everyone used to watch anime, from the very young, teenagers, adults, to the very old. There used to be anime targeted towards all of these demographics but now anime with the exception of films Hayao Miyazaki directly is on the helm of don't sell, so Japanese animators target Hikikomori (Nip NEET's). Because of Hikikomori the modern anime market is full of children's shows, Ecchi, and SoL sadly.

It's SoL, but weird shit also happens too and the art style changes sometimes.

...

Well the whole delinquent thing has ties to the Yanki subculture and it's predecessors in the post war era. Drunk US soldiers causing troubles and doing their own thing ended up creating a youth culture of gangs and tough guys emphasizing individuality by stepping outside social conventions and fashion. In the 70s this became the yanki fashion of gangs that you see stylized in stuff like Cromartie. Yanki is literally Yankee as in American. It was a cargo cult based around the idea of expressing your individuality by acting and dressing the exact same way as other yanki.

How ironic. :^)

It's a little more complicated than that, but that is the quick and dirty explanation.

I just watched the continuation of Neon Genesis Banegelion. It's pretty good so far, except my BIGgest gripe with the show so far is the Hunt For DWP GAI arc. It's focusing too much on the hothead and is overshadowing CIA's scenes. Hell the first scene was literally CIA rising from the wreckage brother and wandering off to god knows where.

DWP GAI?

Also I like how they make ordinary situations dramatic.

...

...

I was not ready for these feels.

Wait until the time skip. You will either love it or be absolutely disgusted.

I've already heard about it.

and it's my motherfucking fetish

Then might I recommend Kodomo no Jikan which lies along similar lines as well as Lotte no Omocha!?

Lotte has kind of a rushed and shit end because the mangaka got assblasted that the anime adaptation wasn't a success and now she pretty much just shitposts on twitter.

Already watched knj, and I thought lotte was a lesbo?

She is androphobic. The entire plot of the story is about a loli succubus that will shortly be approaching puberty and will die if she doesn't start drinking the "life force" of men by then. Since she hates all men she figures she can get out of it by requesting the impossible, a human male. So her servants travel to the real world and kidnap a young man hire a young man and bring him to their world to service her. Ending is hella rushed and there was a lot of dangling plot threads, but it is probably something you would appreciate since surrogate father figures romancing their daughters seems up your alley, creep.

That sure does, actually.

Sheiiiiiiit guess I'm downloading another one tonight. Backlog was 0 at the start of today, now it's at 5.

If you ever get into shoujo manga this is a really common thing. Manga written by women for girls has a recurring theme of NOT fathers romancing their NOT daughters. Hell I was reading one a couple of weeks ago that I thought was a doujin written by a man but it was a "romance" written by a woman. It is about a noble man who buys an eight year old girl as a slave who grooms and manipulates her for five years before giving her the dick hard every night. It is presented as a sweet caring romance story for girls.

user, it's common knowledge that women have rape and kidnap and slavery fantasies. Why does this even surprise you? Feminists pull the exact same shit, writing what would be considered pure unadulterated misogyny, but because a woman wrote it, it's liberating feminism.

This is also why feminists paradoxically love Islam.

I want to die tbqh. Such things will never be so good in 3D.

But anime is generic in the literal meaning.

Whatever, I'm not going to talk to you again, it's like arguing with a wall.

dude you're gay

Just look at Bruegel's painting. It shows life in the most realistic and truthful way. You don't need further explanation.

Scope: the extent of the area or subject matter that something deals with or to which it is relevant. In this subject, the scope is life itself.

It would be Bruegel, again. He shows landscape along with life in it. I find artists Norman Rockwell too romanticized.

The same shit over and over again.

:^^^^(

Go tallk to my son, don't bother me ever again.

There haven't been peasant's who farmed that way in 100's of years. Shepard's such as those in your pictures are a very small percentage of the worlds population nowadays. The vast majority of people in the modern world live in the city. It may have been "a realistic and truthful way of life" at one time, but no longer.

But the art itself creates life, and the life itself reflects our reality in a poetic way. Because technology can't change the nature of human soul and spirit, man's longing for harmony will never end, even if nu-males like you seem to ignore it.

What do you mean by harmony?

In short, cartoons use so-called full animation, and anime uses so-called limited animation. The animation styles are different enough that it's possible to look at outsourced 80s/early 90s American shows and notice they were animated in Japan.

Then so is everything else.

I am not talking about American animation or Western animation, I am talking about cartoons. And even if I was talking about American or Western animation, there is an extremely limited amount of commercial animation that isn't for children. It's nowhere near comparable to anime.

You are the one who makes them cliches and inserts them into cookie cutter categories.

Anime is Japanese, not Chinese.

NEETs are not a target demographic, and there is still plenty of daytime anime e.g. Detective Conan, Dragon Ball, Pokemon, Yo-Kai Watch, Pretty Cure, Doraemon, Baby Steps, Space Brothers, Arslan, Gundam, 12 Years Old, Kyoukai no Rinne…

A lot of the shows that would have previously been shown during normal hours are now shown at late hours, but that simply means the timeslot has changed.

Ecchi shows are not nearly as numerous and do not sell nearly as well as Westerners believe.

SoL is a broad concept and has nothing to do with "NEETs." Some of Ozu's movies could be called SoL, and Kiki's Delivery Service for example could be called that too. And old shows like Heidi.

Yes, pornographic doujinshi must be intended for girls. Right on.

It isn't. That doesn't make any sense.

The problem isn't me, the problem is you.

It was literally published in Cheese!, a shoujo monthly anthology.

And chinks are chink

Chink=Chinese
Nip/Jap=Japanese
Gook=Korean

So chinks

You said it was a doujinshi and characterized it as pornographic. I've never heard of shoujo magazines carrying anything like that. And it shouldn't even be called a doujinshi at that point.

>that I thought was a doujin written by a man but it was a "romance" written by a woman
And evidentially you don't read a lot of shoujo. Smut is one of the key tags when searching it on BU.

I've never heard of shoujo magazines carrying porn.

Because you are a filthy casual

I'm not.

Try again.

...

I never made any claims about any "NORP."

I said porn. "Softcore smut" is weasel language. Why don't you explain clearly what you are talking about?

I never specified the type of cartoon or where it was from. Someone else brought Western/non-Western into it.

Also it is completely comparable to anime because both are targeted at a specific demographic. You clearly don't like this fact but even the Japanese know it.

There is anime for children, boys, girls, men, women, non-specific audiences and special interest audiences. There's anime in every genre about a huge range of subjects.

Again, not comparable to cartoons.

By definition, anime are cartoons. Anime are Japanese cartoons. You can also have western cartoons drawn in an anime style, but they are not anime because they are not Japanese.

Basically, in order for a cartoon to be considered anime, it must be Japanese. Korean cartoons drawn in anime style is not anime. It is Aeni. 한국 애니. Chinese cartoons drawn in anime style is not anime. It is 動畫, donghua, literally meaning animation.

No matter how close to a style of anime a non-Japanese cartoon is, it will never be anime.

Anime and cartoons are two completely different forms of animation. They have almost nothing in common. You cannot prove otherwise.

...

No. Try again. Or actually don't even bother, since you're objectively wrong and have no means of proving yourself correct.

"Cartoons" is a broad subject anyway, user. You are talking about western animation. Sure, you're right, Japanese cartoons don't have a lot in common with western cartoons. But all anime are by definition, literally cartoons.

Your move.

I'm talking about cartoons, not any and all Western animation.

You are literally wrong or literally lying. Again: cartoons and anime have almost nothing in common. If two things that have almost nothing in common are supposed to be the same thing then let's also say that dinner tables and beds are the same thing. After all, they are both furniture.

They have the two basic things that require them to even exist in common: They are drawn. They are voiced by voice actors. The two most basic requirements for something to be called "cartoons".

Your move

Oh and your dinner table/bed analogy is stupid. You sit and eat at a dinner table, while you sleep in bed.

You watch both anime and "cartoons". Naturally, since anime are cartoons.

Cartoons and live action cinema are the same thing. They are both rapidly projected still images that create the illusion of movement. They both also employ actors.

That's exactly the point.

And what do you do with live action cinema?

My Little user Can't Be This Retarded

Read the entire thing:
Now compare it again what you said:

*against

This is your argument.

Is "Anime are not cartoons" the new "Indiana Jones is not a trilogy."?

No, that's YOUR argument.

Anime and cartoons are two different, separate things.

Sure they are, autist.

Rephrase this as "western cartoons and Japanese cartoons are two different, separate things" and I'll almost agree with you, as you'll actually have a point.

Cartoons = anime
Cartoons != live action cinema

They are, and saying so does not make me autistic. By your logic making any true statement is autistic.

I was not talking about Japanese cartoons, I was talking about anime.

No.

They are the same thing by the same logic that cartoons and anime are the same thing. You can't have this both ways.

...

Anime are Japanese cartoons, fool.

At this point, I'm pretty sure you're just shitposting.

I don't know or care anything about whatever this trilogy argument is.

Anime and cartoons are two different forms of animation. How is it shitposting to make a true statement?

Anime are cartoons. Get over it.

"Anime are not cartoons" is your signature spice.

archive.is/LUndU

What flavor is your signature spice?

They are not. There is no reason why they would be. Seeing as how they have almost nothing in common with cartoons.

What?

Prove me Google wrong.

No matter how you look at it, that answer is wrong.

And yet, the best proof of this you can give is that cartoons are exactly equal to live action cinema.

I didn't "prove" any such thing, I illustrated how your logic is flawed. Live action and cartoons are the same thing by the same logic that cartoons and anime are the same thing. You cannot have this both ways.

Your argument

Your argument is that cartoons and anime are the same thing because they are both drawn. By the exact same logic it's equally true that cartoons and live action are the same thing because both are rapidly projected still images giving the illusion of movement. By the same logic rectangles and circles are the same thing because both are geometric shapes. By the same logic bicycles and trucks are the same thing because both are vehicles. By the same logic cats and elephants are the same thing because they both have four legs.

But cartoons aren't rapidly projected images anymore user. They're created digitally these days.

Live action filmmaking contains rapidly projected still images giving the illusion of movement that are not drawn.

You can't reduce the difference between Japanese cartoons and western cartoons any further though. They are both drawn. That's the common denominator. That's a higher, more specific common denominator than cartoons share with live action cinema, being "rapidly projected images". Therefore, since the common denominator between Jap and western cartoons is more specific, your argument is mathematically and logically flawed.

Also notice how I never specified which type of cartoons are also "the same" as live-action cinema. That's because, even according to you, the difference doesn't matter; they're both "rapidly projected images".

This is a level of mental gymnastics I haven't seen in years.

That's completely beside the point and you know it, not to mention that live action is now digital as well.

Anime is animation that is NOT (insert a mile long list of things here).

That's a pretty poor counter-argument.

I'm done here, everyone in the thread already knows you are wrong. I'll leave you to your thoughts.

Anime is animation that is from Japan, autist. That is the only difference.

No, it's your argument that is poor here. It makes no sense. I've explained at length why it doesn't make sense.

There is an incredible amount of differences between anime and cartoons, and even between anime and Western animation at large. And anime isn't even synonymous with all Japanese animation; it's a form of commercial animation that started in the 1960s.

Making true statements does not make anyone autistic. That's not what autism is.

t. autist

We're not talking about Japan's meaning for anime. We're talking about the western meaning for anime which is as follows:
"Cartoon and animation are synonyms. All anime are cartoons, but not all cartoons are anime. Anime are Japanese cartoons".

fam, I think you've got that the opposite way around.

the nips don't think anime is some distinct class of cartoon, that's occidental autism.

How am I an autist?

Cartoons are a subset of animation. Anime is also a subset of animation. Cartoons and anime are two differrent things.

Anime is commonly a synonym for animation in Japan, but there are also those who regard it as the animation that started in the 1960s. A new form of animation did start in the 1960s regardless of what people call or don't call it, and we at least may as well call it anime.

What part of western meaning do you faggots not understand?
