Distinct style > generic slop
Anime has been in a stylistic rut for decades.

Still doing better than calarts shit which is what western animation is. Cartoons have been both in a stylistic rut and storytelling rut for decades.

90sfags hated that decade because it wasn't exactly the same as the stuff they grew up with. They didn't care that they were growing up and 2000s kids liked different things than them so they seethed over it constantly, first on forums and then on youtube when that got big. It's the same reason why 2000sfags hate 2010s cartoons so much, and why 2010sfags seethe over skibidi toilet, hazbin hotel, and post-owl house DTVA sloppa.

If this is what being in a rut looks like, then maybe being distinctive isn't all its cracked up to be.

Yea, that's why anime is a dead industry with nothing being made and cartoons are thriving more than ever with lots of new fresh stuff being made and definitely not a bunch of reboots, remakes, revivals, and "projects" made by [guy who worked on a show a decade ago back when we still had some relevance].
Unique and shit is still just shit.

It is sadly a fact that there are more anime shows in a single season than american companies as a whole put out in a year. Even if most of them are slop, the sheer volume of new material ensures that there are 1-3 new shows every season worth watching and thats more than can be said for cartoons.
Like, whats the last recent cartoon people actually considered good? Some indie youtube project like Digital Circus? Because most of what /co/ talks about on a regular basis is ANCIENT.

I blame Jamie Hewlett but I'll always value a distinct "ugly" style over a safe cute one. When done right it's insanely charming and sticks in your mind. No, that doesn't mean ugly = good and cute = bad 100% of the time. It's not so black and white.
By the way, the "safe cute" label can apply to beanmouth shit too, not just moeslop anime.

The point is that both Western and Eastern artists can draw ugly things and cute things if they wish.
This thread is "otaku culture vs. Western animation" more so than it is "Eastern animation vs. Western animation".
I wanted to leave at least one good intentioned post in an ill intentioned thread.
