Gay Jap games turned westerners gay
Not just him - same thing happened to the creator of Gargoyles, a show I'd put up there, among the best written Western cartoons ever.UltraFan123 wrote: ↑ August 31st, 2024, 19:43but sadly Bruce Timm unironically became the embodiment of "die as a hero or live long enough to become the villain"
Here's Halo from the Young Justice cartoon:

and here is the original character:

According to the writers, the mystery meat above is French. Not only that, but despite the character being an AI (a Mother Box specifically) wearing the body of a dead ******** girl like a puppet, it still wears the hijab.
The reason they emulate anime is that people still associate anime with quality, while seeing a modern Western cartoon evokes a visceral, instinctual feeling of revulsion. The leftist parasites have thoroughly poisoned the well and are now trying to migrate to another host.

It's even more tragic with the new Batman cartoon by Bruce Timm, because it deliberately tries to evoke the DCAU nostalgia - only, it's a pozzed turd full of fat, ugly ***** (and I mean this in the most literal sense).Roguey wrote: ↑ August 31st, 2024, 19:47The budget crunch and the competency crisis have really put a damper on western action cartoons.

It's either anime or CalArts. The west has forgotten how to draw.rusty_shackleford wrote: ↑ August 30th, 2024, 04:55[Context: referring to anime-inspired western nu-video games]
if it's not meant to look like anime, why do they keep making anime series based on these properties instead of just western cartoons?

If your response is some cope like "what's western action cartoons?", just go look at the Justice League series or the DC animated movies.
This is a screenshot from the Caped Crusader cartoon by Bruce Timm. Without looking it up, try to guess who these three characters are.

It's the same reason why Marxist coopt popular Western IPs - they're merely skins they wear to peddle their disgusting ideology, because they know that nobody would bother with their **** otherwise, as trash like Dustborn has proven beyond any doubt.

It's deliberate - anime and manga are far more popular than anything the West shits out. Volumes of Demon Slayers routinely sell more than all Western published comics, combined.rusty_shackleford wrote: ↑ August 31st, 2024, 19:52Seeing strong anime influences in all the modern 'western' cartoons

Because the popular conception of western comics start and end with Marvel and DC capeshit. Which are both, ironically, jewish creations. People are under the false illusion that manga offers a fresh and unique alternative, but even that isn't true. The biggest mangas, like Demon Slayer, are shounen. Which tend to be even more repetitive than the capeshit.gerey wrote: ↑ August 31st, 2024, 19:53This is a screenshot from the Caped Crusader cartoon by Bruce Timm.

So a few years ago when Timm was asked if he would like to develop a new Batman animated series that would rekindle the spirit of that venerated, foundational show, he knew exactly how he felt.
“I went, ‘Not really,’” Timm said in a recent interview. “I was terrified of it. People love the old show so much that I didn’t want to mess with it. You know, it’s not 1992 again.”
Of all the gay ****** they could have given it to, he was one of the best choices. He had a clear and obvious respect for the old show, no sneering or subversion. He was actually true to his pre-release statements, unlike the Witcher ***** who did outright lie about her intentions.Show was created by a literal ****** ****** that Disney had to fire because he apparently couldn't stop himself from muh diking a young male intern.X-Men 97 actually looks better than the 90s show, but not exactly great.

Doesn't matter, because people can tell when a product is made to spite the audience, as pretty much everything created in the West is. I'm under no illusion about anime and manga, they're mostly consumerist slop, but it's at least slop made to pander to the audience, and that's pretty much all you need to outcompete the Marxist drivel the West shits out.KnightoftheWind wrote: ↑ August 31st, 2024, 20:00Which tend to be even more repetitive than the capeshit.

Stop lying - he turned one of the characters into a ***** and all the women into planks. He has about as much respect for the source material as I have for the life of a liberal.He had a clear and obvious respect for the old show, no sneering or subversion.
He had a slight agenda to push (I was annoyed over how he said no one in the show itself would refer to Morph as they/them to be true to the 90s, but they went back on that in one of the final episodes), but it could have been worse.gerey wrote: ↑ August 31st, 2024, 20:06Stop lying - he turned one of the characters into a ***** and all the women into planks.

The teenage characters in that show also behave genuinely, and have genuine motivations that most animes fail to depict. The thing is about Japanese productions is that they excel in theatrics, and even artistic design, but everything else is lacking. Even the likes of Hayao Miyazaki touched on this fact, that most animes are produced by "otaku" who don't even understand genuine human emotions. They themselves are socially awkward and distant, and they pass that on to their characters.
I was going to disagree with you but after thinking about it you kinda right ,for at least a large part of anime that comes out nowadays.
These people didn't become villains they were always libtard freaks it was just at a level you found acceptable and were used to back then.
I'm just stating the facts.
Question is are you going to gargle the truth or swallow?

That's true for most creatives nowadays though, not just Japan. The whole creative process has been turned into one gigantic human centipede because what matters is quantity of content, not quality. Writers in the past weren't terminally online manchildren, but actual people that had lived and experienced life, and thus had something unique to bring to the creative process.KnightoftheWind wrote: ↑ August 31st, 2024, 18:59that most animes are produced by "otaku" who don't even understand genuine human emotions
This doesn't just apply to writers, but everyone involved in the process of weaving a narrative. These people were actual characters, not copypasted leftist NPC bugmen that haven't an original thought in their subhuman brains.
Modern corporations aren't catering to actual humans, but the billions of *****, *******, ****** and other mystery meats that lack the proper IQ to appreciate actual quality, while still sentient enough to internalize the "hate whitey" message nearly all of these products are laced with.

It doesn't matter, because the greatest anime (Howl's Moving Castle) annihilates the greatest american cartoon:
Yes, *Batman: The Animated Series* was influenced by Japanese anime, among other styles. The creators of the show, including Bruce Timm and Eric Radomski, were inspired by a variety of artistic sources. Japanese anime was one of them, particularly in the way the series used bold lines, dynamic action scenes, and a darker tone. The animation studio *TMS Entertainment* from Japan was also involved in producing several episodes, bringing their own anime-influenced style to the show.
Additionally, the series had a distinct "Art Deco" style, mixed with film noir elements, and a minimalist approach that allowed for a unique visual storytelling method, which was enhanced by these anime influences. This blend of styles contributed to the show's iconic look and feel, which has had a lasting impact on Western animation.

All I've heard is that Arcane is a cartoon, and looking at Wikipedia, no one is Japanese is among the production roles.
I get that rusty isn't a spring chicken anymore, but Arcane doesn't look anime, at all. Compare it to any anime that was done in 3D and it's obvious the art direction is nothing alike.

Most american productions were animated in other countries, even in the 90s. The difference was that the producing and maybe the storyboarding was still handled in the west. So this was sort of the best of both worlds, for a time. The westerners told a coherent story and kept it from degenerating into animu nonsense, and the talented eastern animators poured their artistry into the work. I recently made a post about a Canadian-Japanese co-production called Cybersix, which to this day has some of the best animation I've seen in a TV show.maidenhaver wrote: ↑ August 31st, 2024, 22:58It doesn't matter, because the greatest anime (Howl's Moving Castle) annihilates the greatest american cartoon:

None of this is to say that a fully in-house western team couldn't do as good a job or better, but like with car manufacturing that practice got shipped overseas decades ago, and died forever when Adobe Flash got popular and gave rise to the dreaded CalArts aesthetic.
