    The really is this thing in modern digitally drawn anime where characters have a weird “sheen” to them, similar to how in the 360/PS3 era of games, everyone looked like greased up action figures.

      i mean that’s true of many modern anime but it certainly isn’t universal. dungeon meshi is currently airing and it avoids that nicely in my opinion. masaaki yuasa never looks like that. the new urusei yatsura goes so far into the gloss look for everyone that it comes out the other end and looks like a completely different thing

      i don’t watch much modern anime, and i agree that’s a weirdly prevalent aesthetic that i don’t like very much, i just think it’s important not to view the anime industry as a monolith. otherwise things get real racist real fast
