#with more deeper and more unique stories either becoming sleeper hits or being swept under the rug in favour of more mainstream fare

Hot take but instead of CGI, anime should go back to more retro style animation, like we should totally bring back bold, dynamic animation and imitation cel-shading and bold outlines and rich details and unique designs because that’s what the modern anime scene needs more of and I just know that retro style animation would look absolutely amazing with modern technology

#my brainpoops #truth be told I’m having a little too much fun using retro style flourishes in my art lately and it’s making me think things #well I suppose a big part to play in the rise of cgi and the decline in 2D animation has to do with overproduction being a big problem #especially with the whole thing with seasonal anime and increasing demand for content #anime has become more of a product than anything and because of that shift in attitudes from the audience and major studios in accordance #the focus has shifted from crafting a work with effort and passion #to creating a product to be consumed #and that consumption and the desire to consume puts more strain on studios to keep up and continue making anime #you only have to look at not only the decline in overall visual quality in a lot of modern anime nowadays #as well as animators actively coming out and voicing their struggles #to see that #as well as the matter of homogeny and overall same-ness #with more deeper and more unique stories either becoming sleeper hits or being swept under the rug in favour of more mainstream fare #look it’s just my personal feelings/opinions #let’s just say it was the golden age of anime for a reason #and I don’t think we’ll ever hit that peak again #okay rant over #but I guess the same could be said for a lot of modern media too #90s anime
