It's something about 90s anime that just keeps me coming back for more over the new ones. Is it nostalgia or something else?If you enjoyed the video, please ...
I don’t think the issue is the tools. I think the issue is that the industry previously was mostly marxists and the industry today is not.
The marxists were in-touch with humans and their connection with the world. The world was used as a character, and humans were grounded within it at all times. The world tells a story.
The modern artists aren’t doing this. World is often an afterthought, not really used for storytelling. The world isn’t used as its own character.
When it is… It works. Houseki no Kuni or any of Trigger’s works still manage to do this when they use digital.
no, that was the 70s. but those 70s marxists were still making anime and had a lot of influence in the 90s, even if they weren’t the main creative forces in the industry anymore
60s and 70s marxists making anime, passing the torch to their socdem students in the late 80s and 90s and then their lib students in the 2000s and early 2010s… and chuds in the late 2010s and 2020s?
the libs took over in 1982 and ruined the entire industry forever because now we only get anime by people who liked anime by people who liked anime by people who liked anime
being genuine here, i think macross is functionally identical to the army of wish fulfillment ln adaptations we get every season

I’ve only seen the movie but thought it was hugely overrated.
