I'd absolutely love a new anime setting with a new story that deliberately chose older anime art aesthetics. :lea-smug:
Ah yes, I remember when women in anime were 18 years old and up. :chomsky-yes-honey:
It really was different and better seeing mostly visibly adult women in anime, even in hentai. :chomsky-yes-honey:
One time here on Hexbear I had a treat defender accuse me of "wanting to only see dumpy middle aged people" in anime. So apparently adults with adult characteristics instantly become middle-age and are dumpy. Checks out for otaku ideology. :pathetic:
It's a false choice from otakus and weebs in the first place. It'd be more interesting to have a wider diversity of characters, period.
There's plenty of diversity. You have average highschool boy, average highschool boy who is jacked, scheming average highschool boy, and 26 year old average high school boy.
26 year old average high school boy.
This one's Planetes, isn't it?
Depends on if you're going for "teenager who looks like a grown ass man" or "20-something that acts like a 14 year old," I guess!
I wanted to like it really badly, but I couldn't stand Hachimaki and Tanabe. Give me the Fee and Yuri hanging out at work show and maybe I'd love it.
Neon Genesis Evangelion but Shinji Ikari is played by Rich Evans
Adult to these people means 16, and you enter middle age at 20
The only animes I've ever loved aesthetically were the ones with that early 90s look to everything, where the glass had sheen and the characters looked like adult human beings
Technically 80's art, since that's when it was first published!
I didn't make it and I knew it was a shitpost all along, but now that you mention it, that is slightly sus... though I'm deciding to stand by that shitpost because of the remarkably common tendency for those same cartoons to also present those fictional characters with the temperment of domesticated pets entirely for wish fulfillment purposes.
Fair enough, I think was being a little harsh tbh because the point the shitpost makes is genuinely good and I don't think the dog thing was intentional outside of being funny lol
I have a habit of taking shit way too seriously lately. Wtf is up with me lol.
Anyway, quality shitpost :rat-salute-2:
Back atcha. Hearing it's a good shitpost from you is especially an honor. :blushing-engels:
Shitposters unite, we have nothing to lose but our brains!
Breeding is so fucked. I've rescued pugs for the past five years (disabled, elderly ones) and most of the issues are due to the inbreeding/over breeding.
They're very cute but humanity needs to step back from the brink with these breeds before we get :PIGPOOPBALLS: doggos
:scared:
You ever see megalo box? It came out a while back and it is about how marginalized are forced into difficult and violent exploitative situations to surive in a society run by money. Also sick robot boxing. Great show. I think it didn't make the studio much money and their project after that was just weeb stuff to make money so... vibes. Great show and it looks like cowboy beebop.
I looked it up.
That looks legit. :sicko-yes:

:sicko-wistful:
Isn't that one kind of a spiritual sequel to Ashita No Joe?
This gets super icky when you account for the fact that many short-snouted dog and cat breeds are bred that way specifically to look more childlike. Large eyes, short nose, tiny chin and mouth and big forehead are common features in infants of many mammalian species.

Being an anime girl is suffering.
:astronaut-2: :astronaut-1:
if you survive being stepped on because you were mistaken for a cockroach at the age of 10 you'll grow up to be an alien with respiratory problems.
This reminded me that there's some breeder undoing the selective breeding of french bulldogs. They should do that with pugs so they can breathe and their eyes don't fall out of their heads, idk
early 2000s
I always felt like early 2000s is when they started using digipaint a lot, but hadn't yet gotten a handle on how to use it well.
