This isn’t an elitist thread this is a genuine question as to why modern animes that have more capital, manpower and technology keep churning out animes that look genuinely shittier than low budget rushed anime from the 90s including lain, evangelion and to an extent perfect blue
90s anime often used many techniques to retain quality with little to sometimes no animation from overlying on backgrounds and 2 frame conversations to just making everything quiet and black to avoid animating entire scenes since the bubble economy in Japan had burst and limitations on the tech available. Modern anime has this but it looks so much worse for seemingly no reason at all when the opposite should occur…
This is actually my first post on this imageboard :)

angel egg is 1985 for the record but the answer is A) studios are really bad at taking their best animators and getting them to teach the noobs how to animate as good as them B) Studios find its more profitable to hire more animators rather than better animators, and just take on more projects if they have surplus staff

>Why does modern anime compared to the 90s
The 1990's anime actually sold a lot of video product. The studios were able to make money selling the video story, thus much more effort was put into the story writing as well as the video story storyboarding. Modern anime does not sell many videos due to streaming and piracy. As a result, the money is made from merchandising. The need to sell merchandise dictates plot items in the story and even how much time certain characters are allowed to have in the story, what these characters eat and wear, and even where they go. Compromises therefore occur for both the story and for the storyboard design because both must support merchandise sales.

>modern animes that have more capital, manpower and technology Already wrong at the premise and the 90s anime you probably think are good are the exceptions, not the rule. Next question.

It’s literally at the largest it ever has been what’re you talking about ;:(
>modern animes that have more capital, manpower and technology lol
Colton Richardson
thats five years out of date
Samuel Evans
Why do you still care about modern anime
Leo Cooper
It’s the latest stat I could get The only other one only records up to 2019 and not for net worth but for annually released animes

The talent from that generation are dead or retired. The current gen don't have the skill or budget to replicate what was possiblle by hand. The more talented ones are working at studios that pay $$ for videogames or tv.

If 90s anime is so good, why don't they make them anymore? Checkmate

>It’s this thread again I swear in the name of Christ that this is an campaign to get mods to make a retro board
Matthew Mitchell
A retro board would just become another off topic circle jerk board.
Parker Bennett
We already have a retrochan why would we need a board here?
Jayden Sanders
nobody discusses any retro anime in these threads anymore anyway, not even enough posters for a thread.

you can do a whole lot more with a lot less time with physical inks and paints the real lighting effects achieved with the lightbox are also hard to replicate on a computer
you could have way more people working on a project for sweatshop rates in japan than you could get away with now japs dont want to teach the flips or gooks their production secrets

Market shifts mostly. 80s anime was more broad, the motives could be because they were testing grounds or they had more balls to create something different, I don't know. Today anime is more of a product ready for sale, so you have over a thousand isekai because they proved a fast sell.

You said it yourself; ''they'' keep churning out anime The stylistic part is something that can be changed if the people running the anime decide "let's not copy everyone else" What can't be changed is that everyone keeps doing the bare minimum BECAUSE that's what the budget is allocated at; not for people doing crazy shit like coming up with your own plot.
