EPTWhile watching, it felt to me like they downgraded the actually handdrawn stuff (the style) so that the difference between CGI / handdrawn isn't as big as it usually ends up being. And I was fine with that for the most part lol

For me CGI usually makes me cringe really hard when it's on humans (Saekano: fingers whenever writing on a laptop iirc?) but for GATE I didn't actually mind it all that much. While watching, it felt to me like they downgraded the actually handdrawn stuff (the style) so that the difference between CGI / handdrawn isn't as big as it usually ends up being. And I was fine with that for the most part lol Well, I was mostly talking about the scenes that had people panicking and running all over the place. Like that one scene in ep1 or 2 (?) where the mass entered the park (?) after opening the gate. That scene really kept stuck in my mind... -.-' It was like little manikins floating all over the place with dissynchronisised leg to forward motion. I really would have prefered a still frame over this and I think that says a lot. In SSY some ski-scenes really hit me. That looked like amateur CGI done on a home PC.

I think there are a few more ok'ish ones but nothing that stands out for me. | ||

This show. I was genuinly scared that they would kill of either Annerose or Hilda - or actually both of them... I laughed quite a bit at the short commentary on Kessler's romantic life. "2 years later they were married." One sentence was enough, lol. Seems kind of rushed but the comedic feel made up for it.^^ // Oh yeah, forgot about uta2 because I dropped it. | ||

I wasn't talking about western viewers at all. Also, fujoshi being the driving force isn't a good thing. | ||

Also i don't mind fujoshi, outside of literal shounen ai shows and yaoi a lot of shows with huge fujoshi fandoms aren't really shows that pander to them heavily, fujoshi love shows like Kuroko no Basuke for example. Infact a ton of seinen and shounen series have huge fujoshi fandoms because of the often huge amount of male characters compared to how many female characters there are. | ||

Except popular mainstream shows have standards of a sewage drain in a flood. "Mainstream" doesn't really do anything but dilute the product while making the producers tons of money. For the audience it's no better or worse than it just being well done niche. | ||

Wether that's fujoshi who are shipping something, numy trying to get the next best yuri show, Sent wanting to see toasters fight other kitchenware or me wanting to see more Katou-god really doesn't make that much of a difference. | ||

Just imagine if the industry(sans kyoani or ghibli) paid animators a lot more than the peanuts they do now. more people would be motivated to actually do it and even the trashy low profile battle harem adaptions could look pretty damn good compared to what they are right now. | ||

That may not be the case. You have to remember that for a business they care more about profit margins than quality. If you can pay your animators peanuts while getting say 1 million profits from it then there's no reason to increase the animator pay to something good if profits only go up to say 1.5 million. Mainstream money does not mean quality will always increase. Even if you look at say Western media you see the same thing. Good quality shows often land up cancelled even if they make money just because they don't make enough money to warrant running them. The cheap easy shows that make maybe less money are worth more to them. That's why you can get like 20 seasons of Fear factor or whatever trashy show while new Sci-fi stuff gets cancelled in 10 episodes even if they break even. | ||

It should, considering I probably spend more on toaster related things than you guys do on yuri or shit-related things | ||

I mean monster musume finally became an anime, and it even sold well. Thank god for pandering to specific niches  Now release some proper figures japan so i can spend money on something that isn't BDs. | ||

I'd say that profits would increase far more than from a small 1 million to a still small 1.5 million. While i'm not sure about it, i would think they would add more tighter regulations as well. Otherwise, no one would want to be an animator at that point. Increased demand but no increased incentive? I don't think japanese are that insane to not boycott that. i didn't see stuff like GoT, walking dead, or breaking bad getting canceled. Dr who has like 10+ seasons as well and i wouldn't say that show is bad either. | ||
