How do we make anime kino again? The directors of Akira and Ghost in the Shell both agree modern anime is too manchild.

Katsuhiro Otomo:
>"I don’t really like the art style of most anime these days, the ones that appeal to otaku tastes. So that means I don’t watch much modern anime."

Mamoru Oshii:
>“I’m not watching anything. There are zero titles I’m interested in. I mean, I’m over 65. Trying to get into anime aimed at young people is impossible. That’s true for Japanese films in general, not just anime. Everything is made for a young audience.”
