Ytlaya posted:I could maybe see that with Kaiba or Mind Game, but Tatami Galaxy? The idea of someone preferring generic anime art over that is pretty baffling, though the guy did say that he knows his taste is bad. It was the same poo poo with Flowers of Evil. Most regular anime fans find generic cookie-cutter anime art style to be "clean" or "pure" looking and it drives them out of their comfort zone to engage with a unique, artistic, or unorthodox style. It's a really unfortunate trend but most anime people really aren't paragons of taste in general so it's not that surprising either.

absolem posted:First, most everyone likes bland cookie cutter poo poo more. Second, I don't think that Aku no Hana's anime had good art. It was terribly inconsistent, didn't convey emotion well, and wasn't aesthetically pleasing. Really, I think it discredits kaiba/tatami galaxy/etc to compare them to Aku no Hana's anime. I don't think its the same issue at all First, that's exactly what I was saying. You're reinforcing my point. People like boring, dull cookie-cutter poo poo because they are dull, boring cookie-cutter people with low level taste that doesn't extend beyond a basic appreciation for something looking like regular anime. Second, I think Aku no Hana's anime had excellent art. It was extremely consistent, conveyed emotion and poignancy very well, and was hugely pleasing to my aesthetic sense. Really, I think it discredits both Yuasa's body of work and the team that produced the AnH anime to not think of them as bold contemporaries in the world of unique, artistic anime production that pushes boundaries and challenges what the common person's perception of what "anime" actually is. I think it is the exact same issue. Much like how a lot of what constitutes modern humor is merely referencing something else with no actual joke setup or punchline, I think that many anime fans simply go down a checklist of tropes and standards when watching a new show to decide if it's "good" or not. Clean, normal looking art style with your average character archetypes and same old setting and story? Good enough, for most people.
