Will it ever be possible to digitally replicate the look of 90s cel animation?
Another question, is there an audience for it?

>>149477148 (OP)
AI will do it

>>149477162
Anons on this board can barely tolerate animation that's even partially rigged. Just how the fuck do you expect AI to be accepted?

>>149477148 (OP)
Even if it's possible, you still know that it's just an imitation of actual cel animation from that era.

as an oldfag it makes me nostalgia, hand drawn animation just has the soul but i understand why they went digital, to save money, ughh.

You can still do hand drawn on digital
Cel refers to the painting process on cel paper

Nah. Kids don't care for 2d animation and also they don't care about "practical effects" for them, it doesn't look any better than CGI and they don't have any nostalgic attachment to these things

Why'd you take off the tripcode?

I'm pretty sure you already can, it's just there's fairly little incentive for most creators to do that.

>>149477188
The board's spite towards artists is far greater

>>149477910
I had it accidentally turned on from a previous thread in another board. Forgot to remove it

Always was

>>149477148 (OP)
Unfortunately I don't have any /co/ examples to use as an example (unless someone wants to help out), but I'm genuinely curious: do you guys actually want cels back because you think there's some kind of physical quality to them that got lost, or do you guys just miss color palettes that weren't fucked up the ass?

>>149478418
Cel-shaded shows just have a more down to earth/natural, digital shading just feels too cinematic

>>149478449
natural appearance*

>>149478418
I feel anons play up le grain (that comes from the film it's shot/mastered on, not the actual cels) and le hand crafted. No studio is EVER going through the trouble of hand painting every single fucking frame, hell, they stopped drawing directly on the cels long before it died. The would print the lineart with a machine.
For whatever reason, digital ink and paint cartoons chose the weirdest colors that could be easily remedied.

>>149477914
this

>>149477148 (OP)
Digging up the old machines would have better luck

I know it's not /co/, but wasn't there a Japanese commercial with DBZ characters that resembled the look of the original anime?

>>149479294
Yes

Isn't this for AI or something?

>>149477148 (OP)
there's an anime called shinya tensai bakabon that managed to imitate the old tv look for an entire episode

likewise with pop team epic
if japan can do it, the west should too

>>149479690
That's a pretty good job on the windows

>>149477148 (OP)
It’s too sharp. Can it replicate the grain of shitty crtvs

>>149478418
it's definitely a loss of darker colors. but brighter, unnatural colors tends to attract kids more. Pokemon is a perfect example of this and you can see the progression from season to season.

>>149480849
You virtually couldn't see the 480p compression on a crt back then, it looks so blurry and pixelated on a modern screen by comparison

>>149478418
Man, 4:3 ratio composition just hits different.

>>149480896
shut up zoomer

>>149479329
Yeah, really goes to show what having a non-fucked color palette will do

>>149480904
It's true though

>>149477148 (OP)
>Will it ever be possible to digitally replicate the look of 90s cel animation?
It already is
>Why don't studios do it?
It's more expensive than just doing the simple thin line garbage.

>>149480952
I prefer 4:3 most of the time.
>>149480937
To be fair almost no home release of Dragon Ball has good colors, even Toei cannot properly grade the home media release of their own movie since they just keep the white point theatre settings.

season 1 of Pokemon had genuinely beautiful animation and I'm not just saying that as a nostalgiafag, it's amazing that a cartoon that was only made to sell toys could look that good
