Thread 149980365

Last thread got deleted for some reason but I just discovered this beautiful show called Cardcaptor Sakura, I'm still on episode 1 and so far it has the most beautiful intro and start to a show I have ever seen.
Why don't more /co/ shows take inspiration from it?

>>149980365 (OP)
Nobody cares you autistic faggot

>>149980365 (OP)
Anon most Western artists wish they could be on this level.
CCS is its own league and basically paved the way for this genre into being a giant success.
This show was a fun watch and I hope you have fun too Anon.

Because other shows want someone besides faggots to watch them

What the fuck happened to japan
Now it's all shonen action type shows made for westerners

>>149980452
They got lazy like the West. I seriously don't think they could replicate this style ever again, it's a lost artform.

Assuming you're not baiting, magical girls are a big "influence" on more than a few /co/ things. The issue is that these cartoons are usually made by shallow autistic women and they're usually quite bad.

Because of budget.

G. I Joe? Aeon Flux? Battle Centurion? Those had this hi-fidelity vibe

>>149980365 (OP)
Please go mix chemicals in a ventless room

>>149980518
Aeon Flux is a fantastic one too, I'm not denying that.

>>149980525
But then I'd die, and that doesn't sound fun.

>>149980365 (OP)
So like I said before, I want to hear some armchair psychology explanations because I just realized something - I've come to find that the people who try to aggressively force /a/ stuff onto /co/ ALWAYS fall into the exact same demographic: obnoxiously-cutesy, pastel-colored moeblob shows with child female leads who are jerked off by dudes in their 30's and older; it's never some guy who wants to talk about things like Rurouni Kenshin (or Samurai X as the oldheads would call it) or Trigun or Cowboy Bebop or literally whatever the fuck else, it HAS to be YUMYUM CUTESY BRIGHT COLORS BRIIIIIIIIIGHT CUTESY GIRL, the show.

Why is that?

>>149980365 (OP)
Product of the Japan bubble economy. Most Japanese animated shows no longer look like this either.

>>149980559
Yeah they were absolutely loaded back then.

Take the fucking hint and kill yourself.

Fulfill your civic duty to help purge this board of anarchistic, sociopathic, intellectually regressive youtube/reddit/twitter immigrant subhumans like him who are under the delusion that all of 4chan (instead of just the designated shitposting playpens like /b/, /trash/, /bant/, etc.) is a toilet by reporting this thread en masse.

I wish I was in the alternate reality where the bubble economy didn't burst.

>>149980365 (OP)
What show is this?

>>149980659
Bubbles always burst that's why they're called bubbles. If they were managing their economy responsibly for long-term growth they wouldn't have spent the money on anime in the first place.

Why is her friend so in her face? She always has a camera. I'm trying to watch with subs so bear with me this is my first time ever watching one of these.

>>149980712
Her friend is a gay pervert who wants to fuck her

>>149980365 (OP)
Reminder that John K saw this and concluded that it was inferior to western animation because it was "cold."

>>149980659
I wish I was in the alternate reality where your mother aborted you.

Who?

>>149980452
As someone who watches a lot of anime, I promise you thats not true. Shonen will always be the face of anime that outsiders see the most of, because Shonen is a powerhouse genre that drives sales, but anime is absolutely FULL of shows that are not shonen and in an extremely wide range of genres.

> horror comedy about a girl that can see ghosts but has to hide it, because ghosts get aggressive if they realize you can see them

> crime thriller about a walrus-man who drives a taxi who is the last person who saw a missing person alive

> After humanity is forced to flee the Earth after a deadly pandemic, a group of robots maintain and operate an empty hotel waiting for their human customers to come back, despite the fact that its been centuries since anyone heard from a human

> Girl who is too short to be a supermodel and guy who is good at designing clothes but is poor as shit try to break into the fashion industry together

> Internet streamers are forced into a death game run by lovecraftian outer gods for their amusement, with the fate of humanity depending on the outcome. Said outer gods only vaguely understand how games work

And so on. There is way more to anime than just buff little boys punching each other while screaming.

I tried to respond to you before, but the thread got nuked before I could hit submit.

Part of it is undeniably a self-selection process. Look at the average thread on /co/, and you'll see a LOT of people talking about children's media and the girls from shows that have been off the air for years or decades. It can't be that surprising that the average /co/ poster has a certain interest in these things, and that interest doesn't change when they put on their /a/ hat instead of their /co/ cap in the morning.

That said, there is also just a key difference between eastern and western uses of color. Even genres and shows that are not cutesy stuff for girls will often have what are, from a cartoon perspective, bright and pastel color schemes. Not because they are shows for little girls, but just because Japan LIKES vibrant color and america largely doesn't. So depending on your tastes, you might be seeing stuff as more cutsey than it really is.

Okay I'm sold.

>>149980558
/co/ as a board is… weird
it has a strange level of infantilism that literally no other board has, it’s the only board where grown adults will consume actual toddler media and try to gas it up as actually being incredible
relevant to the specific thread it’s not that Cardcaptor Sakura in itself is bad, but aesthetics-wise (bright colors, rounded designs, looks very “safe”) is very pleasing to easily-disturbed actual autists who interacts with an extremely narrow palette of media, the kind of autists who intrinsically don’t like /a/ because for vague reasons they view it as weird and stinky
so then they basically come here because they want to craft some kind of Deviantart-esque safe space of all the cutesy colorful stuff they like, to the point where I kind of wish that /cob/ - comics & cartoons/random was made as a containment board for people like this

>>149980789
Apocolypse Hotel was pure fucking kino.

>>149980365 (OP)
Not a worthwhile investment. Hypothetically, if Hollywood Jews and their cattle would stop using funds to go on $300 coffee trips and invest purely into the animation (so we're already on an impossible start), you'd have to get tons of people to watch it on either a platform like cable (even more impossible) or get on a streaming service and have it not dumped all at once (we're practically talking pure fiction right now) and also not have it be outdone by any other movie or show so that investors consider it a worthwhile move.

>>149980365 (OP)
Because America is not Japan

>>149980879
And America is not Japan

To be fair, even modern anime struggles to compete with the animation quality of the 80s and 90s. Western animation unfortunately seems to be run by executives that are afraid to spend any money on anything, let alone new and unique things.

>>149980365 (OP)
OP instead of making a thread based on a /a/ property from 25 years ago instead you could make a thread on western channels like YTV and Cartoon Network and their anime blocks throughout the years.

I watched Card Captors on Teletoon or YTV in the late 90s along with Digimon and Escaflowne on FOX Kids - https://youtu.be/ZFz-2oL8plg?si=QItBmPiiOuf-7lmP

>>149980365 (OP)
Most Western cartoon studios are just money laundering schemes. You really think Family Guy needs 5x the budget of action anime? No, it's just so directors, writers, and actors can jerk off and use free money. Why bother trying to compete with anime? That's like trying to make your own superhero comic brand nowadays, you'd be fighting people who've been doing this for almost a century by now. It's more profitable to have Family Guy clone #300 air for 12 episodes and spend its entire budget on parties and fancy shit than make a worthwhile cartoon. Why do you think stuff like Pantheon or actually good animated shows pop up once every few years? It's cause no one that has the power to get it running gives a shit.

>>149980863
Just wait it gets better. I'm not gonna spoil anything.

>>149980875
I don't know whats in the water over at Cygames, but god bless them. They are fucking mad lads with more money than sense, and they've decided to dedicate that money to just making the weirdest anime originals they can think of. And, so far, almost all of them have been *fucking bangers*.

>>149980921
So you grew up with the shitty versions.

>>149980365 (OP)
Didn't they dub this in English and butcher the absolute living fuck out of it?

>>149980921
Escaflowne is one of those shows that feels like a fever dream, its nearly impossible to explain to someone who hasn't watched it.

I will always find it hilarious that the blonde fuckboy's bit was that he was the third wheel in *literally every love triangle in the show*, already having existing romantic drama with every single princess in ever single kingdom that they visited across their entire adventure.

>>149981112
everyone did

>>149981119
Yes. The localization studio was convinced that americans wouldn't watch a show with a female lead because it would just confuse our poor american brains, so they tried to re-cut the show to make Xiolang the second protag despite the fact that he doesn't show up for AGES in the source material.

Niggers

>>149981137
When I pirated it as a teen and got the OGG files, the sub was ass, catgirl sounded like shit, and the Blonde guy they gave him the deep masculine Japanese voice, it didn't fit. it was redubbed like Dragonballz, I like the OG with Spike Spegal as the blonde fucboi

>why isn't co more like a
Think weeb think

>>149981194
They did a remaster/rerelease with an updated dub, not sure if thats the one you watched

Make a cartoon thread on /a/ and you'll get a 3 day

>>149980789
>horror comedy about a girl that can see ghosts but has to hide it, because ghosts get aggressive if they realize you can see them
I'm gonna have the first few seconds of the theme in my head for the rest of the day. Thanks.

>>149980789
This looks fantastic, I'll check it out too.

>>149981237
I watched the YTV 90s version and a torrented version I downloaded in 2002, I think the redub was 2009 or so.

all that puts escaflowne in licensing hell and it's clips get taken down from youtube

Man, I just want there to be modern western animation that can bring its A game again. We throw so much money at our stuff, and it looks like ass compared to an anime about cute girls doing horseracing things which looks like this on a fraction of the budget. Its not about money, its about passion. They clearly have it, and we just don't.

>>149980807
Making a new anime thread right now :D

>>149981281
Unfortunately a big difference between eastern animation and western animation is that a lot of anime is specifically made to promote a game or manga or whatever, so they often times put a lot of money into making it look good. Not all the time mind you, but still enough. Western animation is done with a different mindset and in turn, budget allocation.

Why can't we get more characters like her?

Yep, however now execs and writers pocket most of the money.

Youll never make me watch a single anime weeb

You could take screenshots of this and print it out and hang it on a wall and it would be beautiful. The people who worked on this poured their hearts into it.

>>149981499
Forgot to attach image lol.

>>149981499
It's a shame cel animation as a whole died off, because even stuff like Spongebob season 1 had some absolutely gorgeous backgrounds and shots. We still get some phenomenal looking digital shows, but nothing can really compare.

>>149981511
Youre the fag. I like cartoons more than anime for a reason. You never see a cartoon being half as fucking retarded as a typical anime.

Why are the jannies on this board so schizophrenic? This is a duplicate shitpost thread of another off-topic thread that was made and deleted not 15 minutes ago. Same OP, same subject matter, same obviously ban evading retard, everything. Yet it's still here despite them moving pretty quickly on the first one. What the fuck is going on, union mandated janny hot pocket break?

>>149981558
Anon, the majority of cartoons are literally for elementary schoolers.

>>149981516
Why is it so HD?
Are the Japs just better at restoring cartoons than us?
>>149981544
With computers getting more and more expensive do you think Cel may make a comeback?
>>149981583
Shhh don't say that, it destroys their narrative.

I'm just a fan of animation in general

>You never see a cartoon being half as fucking retarded as a typical anime.
Both America and Japan make cartoons/anime that are smart, funny and great and they also make dogshit awful ones too. One isn't inherently better than the other.
