this is 100 percent a falseflag, calling calarts bean mouth is the sign. the calarts style is a observable virus among cartoons back then (maybe now too, idk i don't watch them anymore) and boiling it down to the mouth shape was the strawman that insecure artists have been attacking ever since it was called out. now in a further attempt to illegitimatize the criticism it's being pasted next to more bullshit claims about other shows being artclones, without being able to prove how, making it so that it gets associated with retarded and blatantly wrong claims and giving naysayers more fule to try and collectively dismiss.

Jentry Chau and Turning Red came from Asian creators, though. That is less being anime, and more imitating Asian cartoon art in general, like how Avatar: The Last Airbender was made by an Asian artist who co-created it with a white dude.

The Patrick Star Show is wacky and expressive as shit, it looks amazing for a modern cartoon. It’s what all modern cartoons should be, giving freedom to artists so they can have fun on their jobs by drawing all these fun expressions and poses, do you seriously think the people that animate shit like StuGo and Mr. Birchum have fun animating them? No, cause their characters are stiff as fuck and unexpressive.

Let’s not forget that The Patrick Show has made fun of stuff like the beanmouth style and cartoon reviewers, it’s openly rebelling against the current state of the animation industry.

Like modern SpongeBob in general should be appreciated for it’s animation, but no, cause it’s clear you /co/tards want all shows to look like bean mouth slop animated by industry spaces who can’t have any fun on their jobs, BEAN MOUTH FOREVER

Smiling Friends and the Paul Rudish Mickey are also good examples of expressive shows that give freedom to their artists, bean mouth and those shitty Fox sitcoms don’t.

With adult cartoons, it's more about the (lack of) motion when they're actually animated. The stiffness does allow for more detail and different art directions, but they still end up sterile due to the limited movement.

Smiling Friends has plenty of expressive animation, though it’s towards more being Newgrounds-like rather than "wacky". I mean it does look better than all those shitty adult animated sitcoms these days.

My point is that the show looks amazing for a modern cartoon with how expressive and well-animated it is. Look at any bean mouth show and tell me that’s looks more appealing than SB, this one gif has more soul in it than the entirety of a StuGo episode.

yes, zoom in and select similar angles of characters making similar faces, don't dare show the whole scene. even in your nitpick you can see the a clear difference between the two, despite both going for an exaggerated realistic setting. one is more minimalistic with how it builds it's characters and seems to not care at all about how it's background characters are designed, their aproach to coloring is also minimal, keeping everything flat. the other has it's character's body built with more shapes, that includes the face too and also seems to design it's background characters in a similar way with similar time put into them, also has a more dynamic approach to how it's colored as well as a different tone all together. you are a spouting bullshit.
>>148982039
there isn't a single show in the op that looks like the example provided on the right. and those notes are mostly about scene direction than art. eyes are round, dumbass, if a show is gounf to be realistic and grounded, there aren't that many more forms that eyes can take besides variations of round. i'm being argumentative because i don't let myself be lied to by faggots and if i can prevent people from falling for a bandwagon, why not.
>>148981982
that's a different conversation, OP brought up art style so i'm pointing out why he's wrong and dumb in regards to that. i suspect it's the same guy always saying this stuff too cause it always starts off with the art, then he tries to shift the topic to animation.

Are you fucking retarded? Rick & Morty is up there, all adult cartoons have to look like Family Guy/Rick & Morty clones these days. Funny how you defend adult animated sitcom slop but you haven’t said a word about the beanmouth shows looking the same. You clearly watch Fox cartoons and get butthurt when someone insults them.

Lmao you are obviously an industry person. The mere fact that you can’t admit your bias shows your desperation - you are committing guerrilla warfare upon random people in the animation community simply because they correctly view your style of show as unwatchable garbage.

Answering your disingenuous demand for free work for your career at all was wrong as you react by viewing the image I posted as my Gospel to spiritually violate my soul so I’ll be fucked up enough to consume the garbage you inflict on society.

All the shit you said was retard, also find it funny how you said: >don’t dare share the whole scene

Retard, those images aren’t from scenes, they’re from promotional material.

We gotta keep in mind that this artstyle is universally despised among animators, bean mouth and faux anime have their fans, when this artstyle is seen as the lowest of the low. Working on one of these shows is like the animators equivalent to working at McDonalds, they don’t do it cause they enjoy it, they do it to make a living.

yep, you're totally the same guy from a few days ago. you still can't break down the shapes and you still can't stay on topic. take your adhd meds before trying to argue with anyone, i'm done tard wrangling you.

just a friendly reminder, the shapes define the artsyle, the only 2 shows that use the same shapes in that same image you used last time are bobs burgers and whatever the one under it is. the rest don't look like each other. and as a bonus, rick and morty does not look like that go animate imitation that suppisedly broke down the shapes, shapes that match no show you ever posted.

It’s such a shame nobody respects your style of the profession and cares who you platform, outside of mentally ill social media weirdos

What this guy has is a mental illness of people in the animation industry who work on On-Model cartoons. Their bosses will scream at them for making a cartoon scene look a little different, so they delude themselves every adult cartoon has a meaningfully different style.

In reality they work in industrialized art which values only uniform product, not meaningful creativity, so they can get thrown on Fox for a season or 2 and disappear into streaming services.
