@@Pajarocaro It's not that complicated. If the creative development of your product was penned by Japanese for Japanese, it's anime regardless if, say, the Japanese outsourced the actual grueling labor of animating something to, say, Americans or, far more likely as a lot of classic anime was, to the South Koreans. If the creative development of your product was penned by Americans for Americans, it's western animation or a cartoon or what have you. So, Nick's Avatar series was, is, and will always be a cartoon despite any 'anime-esque' aesthetic or far east inspired narrative or visual gimmick.

@VunderGuy Жыл бұрын

@@Stevem While true, you also forget that with that line of logic many classic 'animes' wouldn't be anime either because the Japanese are also big time outsourcers to the South Koreans when it comes to actually animating things. More so in the past like for those classic 'animes,' but still, that's a way of thinking that DOES cut the Japanese too if not as much.

As I've said and will reiterate, the difference between what makes something anime or western is 1) Who has creative control. IE, are the people making all the creative decisions and saying what goes where and how it should be done Japanese or Western. 2) Who is the primary intended audience of the work. IE, are the primary consumers intended to be Japanese or Western with other audiences, if there are such things, being an after thought.

Not particularly beautiful, considering it's built on the expansive US empire that already got into that position by haranguing Japan since 1800's, and it's by US example how "opening up to the west" turned out looking like, even up to pre-WW2 petrol embargo like any state USA wishes to replace with a puppet leader. Forbidding companies to sell energy is the face of US capitalism. Did you know Hirohito lived until 1989? Quite the accuracy, sniping him in 1945 and to this day claiming the overall effect was "minimizing casualties". And it's on that foundation where companies like Rankin-Bass and TopCraft from Japan, which since evolved into Ghibli, have been ALLOWED into the insular US market where magnetizing for bombs is less of a risk, as long as your economy functions to enrich USA. Same with Nanking, THEY don't have to worry about the largest aresenal in the world or made up Iraqi nukes hitting "their" workplaces. Because the fruit of those workplaces GOES to the owner of the guns, animation included. That's also the face of US capitalism, though getting stuff for owning a gun has other names as well. It's "connected" as long as you ignore and ostracize the parts you ahven't YET connected into, like Philippines is in the process of. Every place where USA can force labor that wouldn't be LEGAL under US' own labor laws, in their ivory towers. And they know the value of work into propaganda, at least ever since they allied with Russia to break a valid peace treaty and invade Japan, to end that WW2 overnight while Americans were busy pressing buttons. Big, red buttons to convince the Russians it's the better deal to join the gang than to oppose it, which they have beens starting to forget lately.

Thanks for putting all this info together. I’ve always loved TMS’ work on Batman, and had wondered why Growing Pains looked so different to their earlier work. I had guessed it was because the episode wasn’t directed by one of the Warner Bros. directors, which I suppose is kinda true, but thanks to you I now know the full story! It was a good call showing some of AKOM’s work on BTAS, because that really highlights how spectacular TMS’ work was.

Fascinating. I would love a video about the rise of outsourcing animation in general. Obviously, back in the day, Disney/Warner/Fleisher/etc. did everything in-house, and at a certain point it made more economic sense to ship a lot of the work overseas, even though it means losing a degree of control. I'm very interested in how this came about, as I've yet to get an answer other than "it's cheaper."

@Stevem Жыл бұрын

To go against union power too, but Tom & Jerry as early as the 60s-70s was outsourced to Hungary I'm pretty sure. I'm sure someone has written a book on it somewhere. Likely also with the rise of cheaper produced cartoons for toy commercial purposes that were a result of deregulation in the 80s.

@@Shiftarus But in a time before easy digital communication, or even fax machines, the time and expense it would have taken to communicate between teams, to ship materials back and forth, to send supervisors back and forth, would have been immense. Not to mention you're much more likely to miss deadlines because you need retakes if you can't directly manage the work (I'm sure there's probably some sort of insurance policy built into the contracts that retakes have to be paid for by the foreign animation company, but that doesn't really help the big domestic corporate owner who was already selling advertising time based on a new episode of X show to be aired on Y night). Even without all the other considerations, I wonder what the pay disparity between an American animator and a foreign animator is? Obviously, there are big cost of living differences between the US and the Philippines, but several animation companies are based in Canada. I've been to Canada, it's not THAT much cheaper than here. Is it really worth the lack of direct control? Why did we go from everything being done by a handful of guys on the studio lot, to a whole other company thousands of miles away?

TMS was a big part of anime coming over to the states in the 90's and ghibli was part of their group. IIRC part of their marketing into the US was to make more money in order to drum up more money to be able to afford ghibli studio work. anime budgets in the 90's were crazy!

id recommend reading the book anime identity, because neither of the things you have stated are actually true, many such time anime is shown abroad or via streaming faster than it will be broadcast in Japan and there are many people in the industry who are not Japanese, especially since twitter has became so popular for recruiting, but even the directors arent all Japanese these days, Michael Arese directed an anime movie first back in 2006.

TMS was the company behind CyberSix, a cartoon based on the argentinian comic of the same name. I think it was a first for an argentinian property. As an argentinian it makes me proud. 🇦🇷⭐⭐⭐

Amazing, finally. I have heard a lot of details on which studio animated what episodes, how the behind the scenes where, when WB actually finished up the animation or sent it back. But this is even more detail. I would have never thought they could afford sending the workload to other studios but to make work to faster they needed to be more without being staff at the company so I can see how it is like every animation studio had contact with eachother and during hard press spread the work. Now admirable that may be I do think this cast a shadow on how Western and even the Japanese animation buisness overwork thier staff immensley. I mean this is ridicules the deadlines and eveything they want in. And also with people us I include me thought maybe at one point. "Wow why can´t Japan animate thier anime like Western cartoon." And then find out they did those western cartoons all the time. Sure I know some Disney shows in the 90´s was either animated by one of thier houses in France and Australia. But I guess most of Ducktales was Korean studios. But I would like to find out. A lot of animation during the 90´s I think are peak television animation. But I like to find out what was the most important part. Ofcourse direction is one, how much did the American animation do to help the outsourced studios to replicate thier style and how they work in the details and fluidity of the character movments. I just found this video so I don´t know how much or what you will cover. I hope you or someone might dig in how the animation in Spider-Man TAS was done. They were pretty close to Batman TAS but they had other work etic and involvment. I mean it was´t by design they said "Let´s reuse this shot." What I heard there were becuse of a lot of errors so to fix that they did this akward reused animation but they did´t seem to fix any missing animation if needed like WB did for Batman. So I am intrested in finding that out. It would be amazing if there were this unfinished frames that was just stashed somewhere able to be used to finish and complete the animation.

Disney's 90s afternoon had telecom involved also and telecom also worked on spiderman early on. American deadlines tend to go longer than anime deadlines this is also pre digital for warner so when that happens the deadline can be closer to the release date etc. I don't tend to talk about American cartoons this is kinda a random off cut from a bigger video I'm making
