The Undeniable Power Of Animation

[@calebcrafted]

Walt Disney himself stated: " You're dead if you aim only for kids, adults are only kids grown up anyway." So it's quite sad to see how many people only view animation as something aimed for kids,may it be regular viewers or corporate higher ups who have little to no respect for the things they create unless it provides profit to them

[@pac710]

@@kingace6186 I know it's a controversial opinion but we should consider the paneling more than the actual quality of the drawing, so paradoxically, imho, something like Chainsaw Man, Witch Hat Atelier, God's Child are manga that can't be transposed into an anime aesthetically speaking (but that doesn't mean the adaptation will be bad, but they can't restore the genius that is there) While for Berserk, animated films like Akira and Redline demonstrate that even something like Berserk can be made, even if it would take decades to do it well

Soon, animators across America will be fighting for better working conditions, fair wages, and most importantly, protection of their jobs and hard work from generative AI. So if you love shows like Scavengers Reign, PLEASE JOIN THE FIGHT! Otherwise, we may never get something so beautiful ever again.

[@doubl2480]

As long as people like David Zaslav run things - people who look down so bad on animation they would simply discard entire series and films as tax payments... I find it hard to believe in a bigger rise of animation. The belief that people will show up more for live action things than for animation is far from gone either. It's hard to change the mind of people...

[@Dizzyjon]

The first show I saw that made me feel this way was Made in Abyss.

[@stuartrockin]

I'm a games animator. I provide life to the playable and non playable characters in computer games, aswell as the environment. Without animation, you just have a camera flying around an interactive museum. Animation is the breathing and life of games. It's personalty, it's story and it's immersion.

So happy you’re covering this show! I have been screaming praise for it to anyone who would listen! The animation is beautiful, fluid, and smooth as hell. The characters are fantastic, but the world, the world is stunningly alien and achingly unique. There are words like “Anemoia”, “Hiraeth”, or “Fernweh”, that describe a sort of nostalgia for a place that doesn’t exist or you’ve never been to. I think they fit this show incredibly well. It is a shame what they’ve done to the animation team, but hopefully Netflix can pull through and give them what they need for a second season!

[@HanmaHeiro]

Find Mars Express if you want more adult animation. It's sci-fi, just not aliens

[@Mr.Genesis]

Animation is also why i can't get into a Comic book or a Manga series. Because there's so much that comes together to bring an animation to life. Fantasia is literally a movie that's all music and hand drawn art. An entire story is told without a word spoken except for narration. THAT.. Is the peak of an Animation. To be able to tell a story without a single line of dialog but only brush strokes.

This is why I get so annoyed when people constantly go on about live-action adaptations. As if somehow everything else is inferior and must strive to become live-action or have a "superior" live-action version to its name. It doesn't. And I'm sick of Hollywood or whoever trying endlessly to make things like Avatar The Last Airbender, Dragon Ball, or Lion King into live-action. The latter being completely impossible - which is why it was 3D animation pretending to be live-action.

[@dankplanks]

A different type of video but it has the same important commentary that I love from your videos . Keep up the hard work Mark! So close to 1 mil!

[@NelsonStJames]

The perception of animation as a kid's medium is just as prevalent as the perception that comics are a kid's medium which is why in the west people tend to get up in arms when either of these artforms attempt to cater exclusively to an adult audience. Successful projects in either medium that handle their subjects maturely are looked upon as outliers, but a time when either is fully embraced as "equal" to other forms of media is still a ways off, and probably not going to happen in my lifetime. Most people who watch superhero films, for example, will say that the Spiderman: Into the multiverse film is perhaps the best Spiderman film out there, but if all the people who claim to like superhero films actually went and saw it when it was released that film would have easily made over one billion at the box-office. The only reason it didn't was because it was animation.

[@ProjektTaku]

I'm actually so disheartened to see comics looked down upon. There are some truly great comics that aren't even in the superhero genre, like The Sandman, Sweet Tooth, IZombie and Swamp Thing.

[@DerrickWilson-fm7vc]

I would argue Spiderverse is actually an example of animation becoming more respected. The first one didn’t do amazing, but it had a very strong streaming presence, which resulted in the (imo worse) sequel doing pretty damn well, especially at a time when many movies in general were not. I know people that normally don’t care about superheroes or animation rave about that film. I do think the general opinion about animation is shifting to a more positive one. It’s going to take a long time, but I’ve noticed a trend where the best animated movies (Inside Out 2, Spider-Man, Puss n Boots 2, Boy and the Heron) are doing really well while many of the cash grabs (aside from minions) are faltering. People are being more savvy about the movies they’re seeing, and well made animated films are still making big bucks. There is respect for the medium, and I think that respect is growing

Scanveger's Reign looks like what Strange World (Disney Movie) should have been

[@NoirNameless]

When you said “Scavengers Reign can’t be live action” I screamed “YES”. And there’s a bunch of things that can’t or shouldn’t be because they work so well in the medium, doing it any other way just won’t hit the same. Akira is a prime example of this. So grandiose and stylish, it’s made for the page, or for very rich animation. This is why I hate the idea of live action anime/video projects. Because it’s almost like Hollywood thinks those mediums need them to be cool, and they couldn’t be more wrong. There’s no limit to what you can do in animation, and that’s part of what makes it so special.

[@ljthesage]

If you're an animator or have tried animation you'll notice the extensive use of animation fundamentals in scavengers reign which is basically what sets animation apart from live action

Paranoia Agent is also an example of this. Couldddd it be live action? Possibly. But it’s perfectly designed for the way it is.

For me the suspension of disbelief is believing that animated characters feel real. To make renders/drawings/puppets feel tangible to an audience is always what impresses me with stuff like Studio Ghibli and The Iron Giant. It’s actually amazing how many animated films feel more real than CG stuffed Live Action.

[@GregoryFord98]

Huge shout out to Monty Oum. An animator and anime nerd that really pushed RoosterTeeth from videogame videos to high level animated tales like Red vs Blue and RWBY. His major work from 2007-2015 (his early and premature passing) really set the stage for works like this. Of course there are much more prominent people but few, if anyone, really understand the work he did to make animation known as a medium. Dang, l need to watch Halo vs Metroid again. RIP

[@Ryusagi]

I can't help but feel like people forget that a lot of there is a lot of animation in live action as well. Yes there is a lot of special effects and just static backgrounds, but some one has to animate godzilla. Some one has to animate Megatron. Sure it is vastly more costly than 2D or dedicated 3D style movies to get the detail necessary for a suspension of disbelief, but it really shows how important animation is. How common it is also highlights how little Hollywood wants to use real life cinema to its strengths though... Ultimately my point is that we often forget about the efforts of 3D animators in big budget movies and how impossible those movies would be without them. Unless some one wants to make rubber suits that also allow full human movement and a likely way more expensive to utilize a team of special effects artists... edit: just to make sure if someone brings it up, mo-cap itself is an animation art form. A lot can go wrong if you don't know what you are doing.

What I think would really help it is if more money went to the US Department of Arts.

There's a really good video by Doodley on it: kzbin.info/www/bejne/Z5Ordolvit6Ahck There's an upcoming animation worker strike coming in the weekend, and there's also Harris and Walz running for President and Vice-President respectively, who, in the past have allied with unions, and could have more control once they win the election.

[@HanaNoMaude]

Here’s another for the list: localization and accessibility. Yes any show can be subbed, and yes you can try to dub live action shows but it will immediately snap suspension of disbelief in half. But animated media has been dubbing successfully for years - and while some may say fight tooth and nail for sub over dub supremacy, you cannot understate the power of voice. Dubbed and properly localized shows are able to tap into multinational audiences - just look at the most successful anime of all time and how they are able to quite literally speak to peoples from all walks. And moving beyond preference, dubbing enables you to reach blind/low vision audiences, children, and busy adults who consume media while multitasking or too tired to read squinty subtitles. And while yes, more voice actors costs more money, expanding your total audience also represents the potential for more revenue aka: money. So take that to the fancy suits at the top as another check in the favor of animation
