why does all anime look the same

[Dill]

why does every generic anime have the same art style this is very boring and lazy

 

[Cilleystring]

Because the people creating it all look the same

 

[AHAHAHAHAHAHA]

Nips love "referencing" and "paying homage" to the things that inspired them.
And if Jun's brain is challenged while he's watching his cartoons after his 18 hour work day in the office, he might stab someone on the train.

 

[Disapproving Bread]

If you're gonna be racist, at least get the race right.

Those are South Korean women.

 

[Info Player Start]

Because it was always a derivative of Disney

 

[Cool kitties club]

Because autists hate change

 

[MrTroll]

Anime characters are just like women: the only thing that matters is the feet.

 

[Cheerlead-in-Chief]

Maybe my eyes are fucked up but since 13 I can fucking tell anime styles apart tbh...

 

[Celebrate Nite]

From what I hear, it's "moe" that's making all anime generic as fuck. If you look at anime in the past, it wasn't always so same-y

 

[SSj_Ness (Yiffed)]

There's a few distinctive art styles. DBZ, Danganronpa, and Death Note come to mind. The vast, vast majority are interchangeable though and insanely samey.

"Every generic anime" = there's your answer

 

[Krystal]

Same reason every Hanna Barbera cartoon looked the same and every animated movie looked like Disney in the 80s-90s.

 

[Crazedking]

generic stuff will looks generic. They have their own Calart shit artist infestation going on for a while with Moe looks. Most stuff is hardly hand drawn anymore as well as animation gets costly. Theres a few good studio likes bones that will animate a season of or two of great manga then drop it and leave inferior studios to milk the fans. End of day, the anime industry is there to make money and manga/anime are most often just the equivalent of ads to sell fucking toys to consoomer.

Like the manga and anime industry is barely the moneymaker. It makes money yes, but when you have total retard buying body pillows and fucking figurine worth hundreds of dollars its where the real money is at.

2007 fucked everything on a global level OP, it wasn't just western media that went down the toilet.

 

[Creep3r]

Because modern coomers only prefer samefaced moeblobs with recycled -dere behaviors, and its only going to get more blobbish and cheaper-looking from here on out.

Maybe my eyes are fucked up but since 13 I can fucking tell anime styles apart tbh...

I blame that Lucky Star and K-on crap.

 

[NynchLiggers]

Because autists have trouble distinguishing faces, and who is the target demographic for animu?

 

[Ultrapenguin]

Same reason all snack foods these days taste like nothing but salt and sugar:

It's cheaper, easier to make, and it's more appealing to the highly lucrative market of mindless sheeple who respond poorly to novelty anyways, so why would you bother doing anything more than changing the label and the marketing?


I'm no anime, but I've found possession of a nose on anime girls tends to be correlated with creative quality.

This is like the first time I ever thought this video would ever be relevant to something. I remember watching this the year it was posted (2009) and it generated a ton of outrage from anime fans on early YouTube days. Give it a watch.

 

[Idiotron]

Does it though?
