eww these lips

Because you like the art style and animation medium baka.

3 tone vs 2 tone

contemporary seasonal anime is trash quality. anime got more popular than ever so japan, the country that hates money, responded by paying animators less and abusing them systemically

Yikes, these blu-rays really expose how messy cels are. There's paint spilling out of the lines and the cel layers are very obvious, making each layer element stick out like a cardboard cutout.

it is literally impossible to make good anime because literally everyone in japan is retarded apparently
/thread

congratulations, you've spotted hand-wrought art

and......seem to be...shitting on it....LOL

literally a microcosm of
>this girl has to use the bathroom and eat
>now look at this anime, isn't it pretty?

yikes, these eyes i have really expose how shitty this modern anime looks, the background is cg and the character design is completely cookie cutter!

Digital doesn't bring the same results as traditional animation. Everything looks way too clean.

Watch more digital anime

if everyone stopped playing acoustic instrument and people were only able to learn how to play an electronic keyboard, symphonies would get prettty shitty

There's a difference between the individual expressiveness of hand-drawn art and sloppy work, and OP's image isn't the former. Properly-made old anime like Ghibli films have impeccable painting and compositing work, but sadly many non-theatrical old anime are embarrassingly sloppy.

Abusing animators have always been a thing though.

pretty.
not every "old anime" is a high budget 80s OVA though

nah, you're just a cocksucker nobody, sorry. Run along now, I'm sure there is a KnY thread for you.

>that hair
>good

>no argument
Figures. I respect the classics, but this blind worship of old anime is silly.

Nobody in the world cares what you think

What the fuck is that thing above her mouth?

You seem to, very much so in fact!

Modern anime has more shading than retro anime.

If you say so. Really depends on the product.

So you agree that old anime doesn't actually have more shading. Glad to hear.

How so? It doesn't look like that at all.

Look at all these tones.

But you just said it depends on the project.

But why does it still look so good and not sterile like new anime?

Modern anime shading has different aesthetic goals, with shading going more towards hair and eye highlights than actual shadows. Line counts on average has gone up though, veteran animators have pointed this out this trend as making anime designs less animation-friendly.

This is especially an issue for anime that adapts manga and novel art where fans will demand designs that are faithful as possible to the source material. It's part of the reason why modern anime production is so fragmented, with the key animation stage alone requiring multiple people from rough animation to the final key animation just to deal with having make so many lines move. Animation needs to go back to simpler and more expressive designs.

More tones aren't necessary there

thanks for immediately showing you don't belong in the argument you're trying to have

oh yeah line counts are definitely way up. Imagine CSM.

It looks good because of the expressive drawing. It's simple yet the guy's face perfectly conveys emotion.

I didn't say that, I'm a different user who happened to read your post

They don't.

You're proving OP right

I find it hilarious how autists will twist things any way they find fit.
Having lots of detail, shading and linework is bad now, really?
