AnimeEveryday I thank you for this. I've noticed this myself over the years and I appreciate someone putting my thoughts into words and images. Thank you.

AnimeEveryday :well done.

AnimeEveryday New subscriber!! thanks for this amazing history of anime. I love it! learned a lot.

Hi there mate. how much do you know about the industry? and are there any western (European) studios that you think would be open to making anime? i have an idea for something that's never been done before but i have no idea who to pitch it to......

This was really nice but i think its missing which shows lead to the creation of genre that extremely dominate anime today which is harem. I'm not quite sure when anime started getting that kind of influence but I think it should be a part of this to show what lead to that kind of development. Not that I think its good or bad but definitely it changed the ratio of what kinds of anime comes out these days.

I feel the same way. And if I say anything about it, I get called every insult known to man. I wouldn't have gotten into anime if I started with those Otaku shows.

Diego Nieto yessss XD

What do you mean only for otakus? I'm just confused how it was different back then, if you could explain.

Jadinass Ohh I see. Thanka for explaining 😅

Problem is his statement wasn't 100% false. It is also fact that more and more animes are coming out every year, which means there's also more space for shitty titles. Apart from that there is the shift in the prominence of manga-adapted animes to light novel-adapted animes. Mangas serialized on magazines like Shounen Jump or Gangan have their popularity contests, where mangas that are not popular enough are axed in favor of opening up the space for newer mangas to enter circulation. This means unless you managed to built your series to become a massive franchise prior to quality drop(a la Bleach), you will constantly have to keep your manga's quality up lest you ended up jobless. The issue is that light novels doesn't have that. While breaking into the light novel industry still is no cake walk, once you're in, you may as well consider yourself in for life. Light novels can be written at a far quicker rate than mangas and even if they don't sell well neither the author nor the publisher suffers anything as long as they can afford the quantity over quality approach. This allows light novel to create enough content to become a 12 episode anime series at a much quicker rate than mangas, even if their stories are nothing but recycled, shallow archetypes. But this is still a massive problem, with the current state of the anime industry struggling to adapt into internet age(no one's buying the DVDs when you can watch for free online), is it really good for them to keep plunging the industry's money and manpower into making anime with the "quantity over quality" mentality? I'm not saying all LN animes suck or all mangas are better than LNs, but the point stands is regardless of whether they are adapted from manga, from LN, or is original, otaku aimed animes are the niche products and are doing more harm to the industry than good. And despite that, ever since 2010, there had constantly been an influx of 5-10 harem/fanservice/moe constantly coming out *every season*, further diluting the struggling niche market out even thinner. Are you saying this is a good business model?

how is it being a professional illustrator?

I sleep 2-3hrs a night (no hyperbole). I have back, neck, elbow, and wrist pains every other day. I'm always stressed over the next job (or non-existent job). You're either drawing, studying, or managing clients and/or social - and if you're not doing those things, you're always going to be THINKING about them. All this while getting paid very little - or people hitting you up wanting you to do free work. But I love it because I have the freedom to do whatever I want - and that is an absolutely invaluable thing to have in life.

+Artwork by Christopher Cayco I see. thanks for the response, I am taking graphic design when I finish school this year and I'm not sure what kind of profession I would want. why don't you look for a full time job instead of freelance or is it really hard?

also got any link?

nvm, found it. nice to know you're still happy doing what you love, I hope to do art and literature because I love it too.

Me too, bruh.

Bruh as 20's continue they were turning less badass into so cute i feel lime its just for girls

@@straitzuzuki I'm a girl and I hate these effortless new designs too lol

The 70's to 2000 are great but in the mid 2000 they just lost what anime means i mea look its like the whole anime just turned into this girls that are in school there are less ass kicking in the mid 2000 and moder anime an they just turned it into something cute thats a bad desicion they made well some of the mid and modern have some great anime like jojo and hero acedemia but still they lose what anime means animemeans ass kicking people men

Ouraaaaan

like Nisekoi. Fuck you, Studio Shaft.

A good story with bad animation can still be a good show. This is how older shows with 'dated' animation can still be enjoyable to watch. A bad story with good animation is still a bad show. Which is how many recently released shows with amazing animation still end up being lackluster.

maxis2k For example Special A. The long limbs drove me crazy but I stayed around for the story

Akemi Homura Example of an old dated show Fist of the North Star

Akemi Homura ok

Wow.. O__O It's impressive to be that age, but still love anime ^_^.

HOLY SHIT I LOVE THAT SHOW

!!! Me too!!!!! Astro Boy was my first anime! (TT)

almeisam i watched astro boy on dvd at age 4

Detetive Conan and Astro boy were my introduction to animes. I remember having a huge crush on atomu(astro) when I was a little girl. Seriously I prefer Astro boy's art style to most of the modern anime art style nowadays.

todays style sucks balls. too plastic

I agree, I can appreciate the depth and darker tone of older anime.. while still appreciating the clean look of a lot of newer anime.. that's not even mentioning the fact theres still a lot of unique artstyle that exist.

I like both eras of art styles

@Shimaz Munshi Mob Psychic and Violet are old. Wtf are you talking about.

@@ghrey8557 they were made in the 1-5 years ago. Htf is that old?

Kal El I would say add the 90s to late 2000's studios still had decent time and money to fund shows especially the amount of long running shows.

I think those decades produced a lot of the most visually interesting stuff.

+Kal El I don't think like you, but that's your opinion, my favourite shows are from the 2000's and 2010's like Fate Zero, Samurai Champloo or my personal favourite Puella Magi Madoka Magica... I think you're just nostalgic about your childhood...

champloo, afro samurai, full metal, and flcl, redline are some of my favs too that are kinda recent, but back then there was a bunch of hand drawn quality stuff that had a lot of diff styles and techniques . now everything is so similar and homogenized its sad

If you're some jaded 30 year old who likes to claim that anime is dead then yeah. I've taken the time to watch stuff from the 90's as well as all the way from early 2000's to current shows. Anime keeps getting better and if you can't see that it is a bummer because the stories that are being told and how they are told are great and better than a lot America is offering.

old anime are leagues higher, new anime aren't as good tbh, but i ain't saying they're bad because they can be pretty good it's just that old anime are much better

Jovana Lanik HYDRATION YAY!

I drowned

Indeed

or A E S T H E T I C

My skin is clear now

I like it, but it´s not my favorite look.

I prefer the newer look but yeah, cowboy bebop looked great

The 80's and 90's is my sweet spot but I also like the unique earlier designs from artists like Osamu Tezuka and Go Nagai.

My personal favorite design is that of Steins;Gate.

looks like akira or perfect blue

I am. I ain't a special snowflake, but it's somethin'!

he talked about Ghibli -___-

I agree!! I couldn’t believe there was no sailor moon or Card Captor Sakura.

He did talk about ghibli tho

Damyon's Music Hut I speculating but it probably has to do with how quickly anime in churned out now. Animators are forced to produce a lot of work in an unrealistically short amount of time for low wages, so they don’t really have time to pay attention to detail. I’ve heard of some anime tv show episodes not being ready until hours before they’re supposed to air causing the quality in animation to drop. Then when it is time for dvd release, they add more detail to scenes and characters.

moe style is the death of anime even shounens nowadays every character look very thin and not as chiseled as before.

I was seeing Cat's Eye vs Lupin III, and I can tell that the design is a huge step down compared to the 80's style. Not saying it's bad, but... Ugh...

​@RadiaUmbra uh what the heck are you talking about

In some manga adaptations, the characters are drawn a bit simpler to ease production. Naruto for example, look at Pierrot's compared to Masashi Kishimoto's character design, specifically part 1. Kishimoto later even simplify his design.

So you dont care about the effort that goes into animating these shows?

BluexMage wow you're a subjective person, how revolutionary!

CheerUp2 I can appreciate or at least understand the effort but it most likely won't be a factor in how much I like a show (aside from Redline because Redline).

I didnt notice the time passing either....I fell asleep LOL. Seriously though, I have no porblems with any type of anime as long as it isnt 3D cgi.

3 years later and he sill didn't pass the 100k subs it's sad that great channels like this one don't get right amount of attention that they need while other shitty channels have all the attention

There's more variety in anime now than there ever has been, and you're talking as if it's preventing other styles from surfacing.

There was plenty of shitty anime back then too. We talk about the good ones because they were worth talking about--in ten years, we'll be talking about the good anime of this decade and completely forget the dross flooding the market, same as always.

Pretty much. It's a given that this will happen in any medium. No one's gonna remember the countless zombie flicks in a decade

What are your actual complaints, moe and "emo" stuff? The former is a genre and you not liking it is personal taste, it's self centred to go around saying it's all crap. By emo I guess you mean failing at being edgy and that's always been prevalent whenever someone writes a story with dark elements. Anime is being made much more frequently nowadays which is why you're likely noticing it more now.

It's fair to not want the over saturation. I suppose I have a broad taste and am able to put up with generic moeshit to find something good. I still stand by my statement that there's more diversity than there's ever been, however. The surplus of shows gives us both rehashed shit and more original stuff.

I honestly don't agree

I heavily disagree.

I agree. Everything seems so shiny now and while there's nothing wrong with it, I feel its taken away from the original cult aesthetic that got me into anime.

Ok boomer

I completely agree. I just came to look into what other people have to say about animation styles after getting annoyed with the way an anime I was watching looked. I think a big part of the problem is that so much of this anime seems to use the same line width for *every* line, so characters and backgrounds don't feel integrated so much as they feel weak and faded. You can have integrated characters and background while also setting both in place, and giving them some visual weight. Maybe \*part* of the problem is that there's too much shit anime that I watch of this bland style, which could make this 2010s plain-moe style nowadays seem even more plain, but I will never understand the extent of the praise that the common anime style of the 2010s gets. It seems this style is meant for quickly churning out anime for mass consumption more so than for thoughtfully creating style and tone. Smoothness and framerates can only take you so far if your picture is plain and your linework is bland. Maybe I'm just a snob.

Same lol

@DarkD33p when I work at Nintendo making my own franchise with a female protagonist, I'm going to make my OC take inspiration from Jenny Wakeman from My Life As a Teenage Robot

Nah 90s anime is the best

They do but there are a lot of good anime now from fullmetal alchemist to hunter x hunter to fate zero, to steins gate to made in abyss to mob psycho 100 and the list goes on and on

dbz is good

@@ryuusaki7309 Old anime looks bad compared to new anime. Older anime are ugly, not as detailed as today's anime.

There are still genres of Anime now that keep that badass, gritty look.

Even Gundan and Macross are tremendously repetitive and little happens in Cowboy Bebop storywise. Yamato also suffers from the same problem.

Edelynne Tan Eh, I just don't like those types of tsunderes that are who fucking vicious at one moment and become extremely affectionate at another and they alternate back and forth at being vicious and affectionate. They make extremely shitty characters. They piss me off so much it makes me wanna scream. Just the thought of this show makes me wanna go on an angry rant. If you're okay with shitty harem cliches and tropes (tsun tsun abuse towards males, misunderstandings, fanservice) with this in mind then, go for it. What other people watch is none of my business.

Bad day?

Bringing a machine gun in a fistfight probably is the biggest act of cowardice I've ever heard in all of fiction

it makes me think of those movies with only model actors. as a whole it looks pretty but its shit.....

Fanservice was always there but the thing is it wasn't every show that had it. Now it's like in 60% of anime out every year. And I don't dislike me some fanservice and do enjoy it at times but even the 90's had less and BETTER fanservice then today

A lot of kids tend to look back fondly on an era they weren’t a part of

i agree.

Same.

my urine is just nonexistent

@緑 谷出久 Midoriya Izuku what

Megalo Box, Mob Psycho, Made in Abyss, Angolmois, Banana Fish, etc? Those are from the past year or so too. "Moe" as the term is supposed to be used isn't even the dominant style. But then again everyone has their "golden age" I guess I'm lucky enough to not be blinded by bias towards the shows I grew up with.

CheerUp2 pretty much counting your eggs before they hatch

CheerUp2 we anime veiwers are partially responsible for that. Animators aren't paid much already but pirating is making things worse.

You looking at the wrong one that is focused on kawaii / moe drama focused anime. Im not gonna prove your point that is mostly false while at 1 point i agree with you. This for example is how great art is improved and will always improve. www.google.nl/search?q=boichi&client=ms-android-samsung&prmd=imnv&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwjs_9zqneHeAhVEgM4BHR4CCwMQ_AUoAXoECAsQAQ#imgrc=fFcKnPnwYDfuDM Art made by boichi and his most succesfull franchise (dr.stone), is getting an anime in 2019

:)

@DARK SIDE ................. Sigh Even though I'm not longer a fan, Disney has done some incredible animation even if they don't do the traditional animation anymore. We also had gems like Spiderman Into the Spiderverse which is leagues above a mass majority of Japanese animations. That movie set a new benchmark. Of course anime has some really great animations as well, but to act like Western animation is all the same is ignorant. Castlevania on Netflix also blows a large majority of anime out the water and then some. Watch the final fight in season 3 and say that again. It also has incredible choreography and a good story. Also dismissing stuff like World of Gumball (because it looks simple is ignorant.) That show used many different mediums and had a very unique animation style. You don't often get the creative freedom in the general run of the mill anime. See how easy I can generalize? Unlike you, I can appreciate both.

@DARK SIDE I am not talking about stuff you enjoy. That is subjective. To can Western cartoons in a box is ignorant. Even if you don't like World of Gumball it still does interesting things. You are the one trying to pass your opinion as facts to verify that Western cartoons are better. Unlike you, I know about both Western and anime in and out. Castlevania is an anime inspired Western cartoons that puts most anime to shame. Stuff like Dragon Prince is also great. And Spiderman into the Spiderverse has the best animation I have seen. It is unrivaled. All of these also have a lot of emotion and heart. They aren't just dumb cartoons. Also stiff like Bojack Horseman, while being a comedy anime, is extremely emotional and isn't just a cheap show for laughs. I haven't even gotten to non Western animation. China has come out with King's Avatar and Scissor Seven and the French are well know for their animations. Then there is great stop motion works and I can go on.

@DARK SIDE Yeah I agree. I wasn't trying to argue which one was better btw. I was trying to say that Western cartoons also can contain elements that you love from anime and that they can be just as emotional or complex. It is ok if you prefer anime.

@@Drstrange3000 spiderman spider verse is made by Sony which is from Japanese. And Sony also invlove in production and planning of many famous anime. Marvel sell spiderman to the japanese and japanese adore spiderman which also has influence in production of spiderman spider verse through Sony

:(

Also at 20:10, its Rie Matsumoto

Oh god Gurren Lagann is a decade old this year...

Yea, also it skipped almost a decade when he jumped to Gurren Lagann. Also wouldnt mind to see also more technical lighting like how Madhouse and Makoto Shinkais movies use it, since at the end is part of the experimantion of the styling too.

I know bro, hope to get an anniversary celebration or something

Not mature, depressing or possess subtle hints of feelings... anything that doesn't make it feel pretentious until someone spreads it and the freakos below mouthpieces for them. Nope it won't get a mention...

zeiitgeist But he mentioned Gurren Lagann. Don't get me wrong, I don't think it's a shallow show, but it's not up there as a super mature and deep anime. Sure, if you get past all the fanservice and typical shonen tropes, it is pretty amazing, but it's nonetheless very much like many other typical series that wouldn't usually be bunched up with ones such as Ghost In the Shell, Evangelion, etc. (And I'm not even hating, I love Gurren Lagann). Then again, it was probably the only mention of an anime of that sort, so you're sort of right (does Urusei Yatsura count?)

I think there was no mention of Makoto Shinkai nor Satoshi Kon either

@@straitzuzuki what??

Dont mind that, that was before i even actually watched or finished an anime and i feel like an idiot for even making that comment (i only listened to openigs before i actually tried watching or even played anime)

@@straitzuzuki haha nice

As someone that was born in the 90s, I disagree. In fact, 90s looks as same-facey as your generic anime nowadays, all time periods have their own trends. For example, people overrate 80s cartoons A LOT, and usually forget animation limitations like same character design shapes and biotypes that were specifically designed to facilitate the selling of toys. I hate the proud idea of "in my time it was better" specially since people that were children back in the day had time and patiance to watch ANYTHING that was on screen. Also, there're grown adults that don't have critical thinking and acknowledge of their own biases even now, imagine when they were children. All generations have their own lazyness and close-mindness to watch something new outside of what they grew used to, iirc even historical registers of ancient civilizations show that it was that common for a generation disregard the next one for their differences. Something worth considering is that there are more animes than ever nowadays, so naturally there are going to have more derivative stuff than before. Doesn't mean that there isn't quality there. Also, Mob Psycho, Masaki Yuasa works, etc? There are good looking stuff that have technicall qualities too.

Basically every Isekai looking equally trashy, with a minor few exceptions here and there

You won't see that kinds showcased here, because these arguments and examples are set in stone by the sakuga nuts who only limit their praises to technical achievement, they think they know their wine better than everyone else and that you should feel bad for not liking the greats - similar to those classical music elitist or what have you. So you won't really see cheering things in this only subdue monotone tripe that gets stripped for 'study' yet by-passes the filter of most people that never really acquired this 'skill' natural until someone points it out base on their oh so sophisticated understanding of this - its just goes on to be more pretentious than it needs to be...think shakespeare literature classes.

zeiitgeist, I had a huuuuge pleasure to read your smart and critical comment!

The video it´s about animation. DBZ animation has nothing special or revoultionary.

Dragon Ball was very influence with it's tropes and character designs, but didn't set many bars animation, which this video seems to be most focused on.

Star Remnant, Allow me to disagree, Dragon Ball is a shounen anime, which made a huge impact on shounen style anime of the future, aka - now. Animation style is very unique and iconic, did you notice that shounen anime have very memorable and iconic styles? You can easily remember characters, even if you never actually saw the series. For example: Naruto, Bleach, FMA(Brotherhood), One Piece, Death Note etc? and when you see slice of life or school themed anime - they all the same.

Thanks for watching!

@Tesla-Effect Ya, that's true

A very large percentage. Manga is much cheaper to produce, making it an ideal proving ground. If a story is succesful as a manga, there is a fair chance it can hold its own as an anime as well. That isn't to say it is always the case, but for the majority of serialized anime out there that is how they got their start. Some times it will go both ways even. Dragon Ball the manga came before the anime, but the latest incarnation Dragon Ball Super started life as an anime before being adapted into a manga afterwards. I'm actually far more a fan of manga than anime these days, as I am generally too busy to keep up with a lot of anime the way I did when I was younger. I can get through a whole volume of manga in about the same time it takes me to get through just an episode or two of anime. So I get to enjoy a lot more stories when I focus more on manga. As far as style influences, anime derived from manga tends to fall into two camps. Ones that are faithful to the source art style and ones that often cheap out a bit by making the art work a bit more simplified and/or more inline with the current style trends (making it a lot easier to bring in less skilled artists to do all the grunt work without much trouble). Some might even argue that second group can be split futher, as some take that route because the manga has a kinda crappy style, which can often happen with new series by younger less experienced artists or those who just have a really dated or ugly style that would be hard to market. An example of the last would be Parasyte, the manga has a very dated looking art style. It isn't bad, but it also isn't very appealing to a mainstream market either, so that show got a pretty major face lift to its style when it was adapted into an anime. The story wasn't changed much at all, and the anime was quite faithful through most of the series with only mild changes, mostly for pacing, but the art style of the anime was way better to me at least.

I think one of the major differences now is that manga can be more directly translated to animation. There's no loss of detail anymore when the flat pages have to be translated into moving pictures.

manga predate anime in 99% of case. Anime are usually a cheaper version of the original product (the manga)
