Is that it? Is there really nothing left for animation or this place outside Latin Americans endlessly simping over ugly lolis and shotas no matter the topic?

>artists could easily make more animations but don't because they need money to live in the society they don't rebel against
Not trying to derail your thread friend, but friendly reminder that capitalists will never serve anything but their own self interest. Majority of art fags would only rebel if they saw others doing it

Everything decent about entertainment, animation or otherwise, died in 2008 with the global recession anon. Anything decent coming out is incidental and against the norm, not part of broad social trends or anything picked up by the masses. It's been dead for almost 20 fucking years anon, the corpse has just finally rotted out to the point of reaching desiccation and skeletonization.

I swear to god half this board is cope, seethe and doom from industry animators.

Animation is not dead, YOU are working on SLOP and you KNOW it. There is plenty of animation that's not slop, but YOU aren't making it. You don't like it, but you're not willing to take the financial risk of going indie, so you just pretend it doesn't exist. You'd rather think animation is doomed than admit it's not but you don't get to work on the good stuff.

there's plenty of great animation being released daily, you just aren't seeing it this board is filled with conservatives who hate left-leaning media
https://youtu.be/rhNZe_TjN9E

as a result, you get fawning over old shit discussed to death, culture war crap, porn, or them whining that apolitical media that panders to them is generic, safe, and boring (see: Elio).

stop watching stuff made for white soccermoms and youll find plenty of new stuff

The issue is that weโ€™re in a poor state for animation in general:
1. Tons of companies have become more stingy and given less higher budgets to shows, this is why all kids shows of the past 15 years look like beanmouth shit and adult cartoons are motion tweened Family Guy ripoffs, those are the two styles easiest to animate. This is also why reboots/revivals of this decade like P&F and KOTH look significantly worse than they previously did.
2. Most original IPs are doing poorly, tons of new cartoons these days are getting canned after one season. Companies these days have little faith in original IPs and thus market donโ€™t market them well. Should also mention how streaming is affecting the box office successes of original animated IPs in theaters.

Iโ€™m sure that the animation industry will eventually get out of its current slump like it did with the previous animation dark age, but if itโ€™ll happen anytime soon is another question

>one season
Honestly, as long as the story is only planned to be one season long, I'm fine with this. We don't need more zombies like The Simpsons around. Their normal mode of operation is to keep milking a show until it becomes garbage, so I prefer it this way.

Like I said, it's cope. Because the industrycucks don't get to work on them but they wish they could, they cope by pretending they don't exist.

look at university shorts and animated film festival contestants instead of late night adult comedy, animation is getting better

i would have killed for invincible and xmen 97 when I was younger

I am serious, pre 2008 shows sucked since they pandered to Christian soccermoms. They had
1. bad animation
2. bad writing
3. bad merchandising
4. bad choreography

Before you bring up Tom and Jerry or Looney Tunes, those were animated shorts done in theaters that were later re-aired for TV. Shorts are high quality in general

Hey, maybe Disneycorp will create a hand-drawn animation movie again!
No? then it's not /co's fault.
Maybe Marvel will- y'know, I have no complaints over Marvel. It's DC that's the annoyance. But there's going to be a new Superman movie, so that's hopeful.
What could you possibly want? Animation? Rewatch Lower Decks, Rick and Morty, or any other cartoon.

I can't take /co/ recommendations seriously because this board is like 90% paranoid schizoids and uber-autists.
If I just want a decent action show, or a nice post-apocalyptic show, or a historical fiction, or an action fantasy show I have to wade through recommendations of garbage that some autist only likes because he wants to fuck the female lead, indie crap that the poster only recommends because it's gay and they're also gay, random Euro cartoons that aren't even subtitled because the autistic slav recommending them expects me to speak their fucking language, old stuff that I've often already seen, and rare small snippets of nice animation that, while nice, produce maybe 5 minutes of animation per year, due to the nature of indie production.

I'm still here when I have nothing else going on, but I took up several hobbies and spend more of my time doing those than visiting 4chan or using the internet in general now. The invention of the iphone and its consequences have been a disaster for the human race.
