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 donโt really like the art style of most anime these days, the ones that appeal to otaku tastes. So that means I donโt watch much modern anime."
Mamoru Oshii:
>โIโm not watching anything. There are zero titles Iโm interested in. I mean, Iโm over 65. Trying to get into anime aimed at young people is impossible. Thatโs true for Japanese films in general, not just anime. Everything is made for a young audience.โ
