HypnotizedGohan Posted March 16, 2002 Share Posted March 16, 2002 all new modern day animes aren't even animes i mean if you go old school to Astroboy you see that that is an original anime, but today you find that animes aren't even like animes. I mean look at Zoids, digimon, and dbz they all use computer animation in some/most parts of it. In the old animes they used fast pace action not making lines as movements or anything but when you look at dbz when they punch they use lines for speed, not in the old animes they make the punches nice and fast. Basically i want your opinion on which animes are better today or old. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Hikaru Ichijyo Posted March 16, 2002 Share Posted March 16, 2002 Well I did like old school alot better then some of the animes of today that are a bit too comercialized if you ask me. But you are wrong on some points, DBZ does not have any CGI in it at all. I agree some of the fighting in dbz is really too repeative but I guess it all depends on what type of anime you are into and the willingness to believe nothing is impossibile. Also the reason they use the line effect in anime's is to show that they are quicker then the human eye can pick up its really done as an effect not just having an artist be lazy!

amiboshi Posted March 16, 2002 Share Posted March 16, 2002 I like some of the new anime. Just because it uses cgi doesn't mean it isn't anime.... People still make sketches and such for the shows usually. And anime means 'japanese animation' so....if it's animated, it's still anime.... But still, I like some oldschool anime, but I like the animations of the new animes better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XxmagentaxX Posted March 16, 2002 Share Posted March 16, 2002 I love todays anime.... I love the CGI stuff that is done..It makes it look better then the old school anime.... But alot of series still don't use CGI in it whatsoever.... and just because they use it doesn't mean it is any less anime.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Justin Posted March 16, 2002 Share Posted March 16, 2002 First of all, I could barely even follow your post HG...try to use more punctuation. Secondly DBZ has NO computer graphics. As for my opinion: I really enjoy the more modern anime. The higher quality the animation, the better. -Justin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Merchant Posted March 17, 2002 Share Posted March 17, 2002 No dragon ball doesn´t have CGI, it´s too old for that. I agree that anime nowdays are very comercialize. And did you see Saint Seya? there is noting more old school than that and has also some parts that uses lines to show speed, so this speed-line thing is not so new as you may think it is.

[/B][/QUOTE] [size=1]Let me try to reword what he was saying Justin: In the episode where Trunks battles Freiza, Freiza creates a giant ball of energy and throws it at Trunks.HG was stating that the ball was made by CGI instead of being hand drawn (I think he is right actually, who knows?) I feel that the quality of animation should never be the main selling point of an anime, if the story sucks than who cares how good it looks?[/size] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fall Posted March 17, 2002 Share Posted March 17, 2002 [color=green]Well how could you [i]not[/i] like today's anime?! I mean, there's been a craze on Pokemon, which is still airing. There's currently a craze on DBZ, which is still airing. And a very small craze on Digimon, which is still airing. I'm sure most people here have been involved in atleast craze here, no? And if you have, that obviously means you liked that anime.... I like most of todays anime, but there's some I don't. Also, I find it more interesting and action-packed, than the old animes...[/color] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HypnotizedGohan Posted March 19, 2002 Author Share Posted March 19, 2002 i like some modern day animes like DbZ. it is just that i think older animes are much better. everybody has their own opinions so please no fighting if one has already, or is gonna happen.

Sephiroth Posted March 19, 2002 Share Posted March 19, 2002 in my opinion, I prefer a decent story with good characters rather than excellent animation.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dragonballzman Posted March 19, 2002 Share Posted March 19, 2002 Well, I like a good storyline AND good animation! :D Back on topic: Not many Animes use CGI and if they do it's not very good (see GW:Endless Waltz...That was one freaky looking asteroid! o_O) Also, I'm not sure whether that ball was computer made...o_O;; Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
(<AA>) Posted March 20, 2002 Share Posted March 20, 2002 If you compare Digimon with Pokemon,I'd have to go with pokemon for prettier pics, and the plot wasn't all that bad,but it was bad... Digimon,It gets less points for excesive use of CGI...but the plot was better than pokemon I guess... I like to draw anime myself, And I know how hard it is to draw [B]1[/B] good pic,and to make an animation, you need like thousands...so... using CGI to get away with STRANGE backgrounds was (As I see it) an easy way out,Thats why Digimon lost points... Sometimes I'll watch reruns of animes just to look at the great pics :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chojin666 Posted April 8, 2002 Share Posted April 8, 2002 cgi isnt anything new in anime i seem to remember an anime called akira (what you've heard of it i am shocked) using cgi back in 1987 (that dna thing or whatever it was) if you dont believe me that they used cgi in akira check out the akira production report Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turkey Posted April 8, 2002 Share Posted April 8, 2002 Akira...That is a fine movie. Anyway, I don't really care much for animation quality. Like Safer said, I prefer story and characters to animation. CGI can enchance the animation quality incredibly, if used correctly (watch Metropolis, which is technologically an Akira of this time).

velvet paws Posted April 9, 2002 Share Posted April 9, 2002 [QUOTE][i]Originally posted by Justin [/i] [B]The higher quality the animation, the better.[/B][/QUOTE] I agree with that. For me it is true with practically everything, from anime to computer games to regular films...but to stay on topic I prefer my anime to be drawn and animated at a high standard.

eleanor Posted April 9, 2002 Share Posted April 9, 2002 well, really i think the quality of the story and plot matters more than the animation quality and cgi. and in dbz, the put lines there to show that they're a helluva lot faster than humans. And like when goku fights cell, they show lines cuz they're constantly repeating instant transmission (i think) and fighting. The artists aren't lazy, they just draw lines to indicate that they're going FAST. i tend to go towards old-school, cuz i think they had better story lines, but new anime today is good also. and anyways, i don't see anything wrong with cgi. In fact, i think it looks cool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest KawaiiRisu Posted May 7, 2005 Share Posted May 7, 2005 Hey!!! Gah! hard question.I have to agree with you about this whole topic.the first anime I ever watched was dragon ball Z. I gotta say, things were good back then,but today... the animation's just better,and that is something I just jump for.but today..the plots just aren't what like they used to be.What we need now is someone who'll keep the oldschool animes in mind when making a new one.
