>>100676668you're looking at anime with colored glasses
this is a thread mocking how samey western animation looks, but Japan has had this problem since the 70s
50 years of samey bullshit
Anime isn't a style, its simply animation, but people reference it as Japanese animation
Very few studios brave outside of the 'anime' lines
Its not that the 'anime' style is bad or anything, its actually really perfect for a lot of things, but its overdone
Anime is also plagued with tropes like characters being perfectly still with just their mouths moving
Actually, most anime is garbage, there is just so much of it that it seems like a good portion of it is good
If you're talking about TV, than I would agree that Japan is on top simply because of the sheer quantity
When it comes to movies, than the west still takes lead
Your Name was a good movie, but it still can't top what Disney/Pixar puts out on the regular
I do wish that 2D western animated movies would get made again, but for now the popular thing is 3D
The west goes through animation phases which make it seem lazy, but Japan literally won't budge from its 'style'
