What the fuck happened?

Jackson Clark
They had to make the dragon move on the right. If you actually watched left, you know that motherfucker was still images.
Evan Davis
I like these comparisons and how the people making them always forget to mention:
>left:
>still image
>right:
>animated anime
Blake Parker
cherrypicking
I can do that too!
Jack Brown
Does that also take into account the stupid as fuck design on the right? At least in the original, the dragon looked good even in motion.
Lucas Turner
I'm not judging which one's better. I'm saying you're a dishonest fuck.
Bentley Hernandez
>great backgrounds ruined by awful looking characters
You sure got OP
Lucas Thomas
Brandon Walker
I would rather a still image that nails the proper emotion of the scene to a lazy half assed animated scene that does it a thousand times worse
Daniel White
Why do oldfags always obsess over old SF and fantasy instead of the old stuff that’s actually good? It’s always “Disposable Shlock Fantasy OVA #18367336746446” or “Disposable Shlock SF OVA #998374844748” instead of actual good shit. Watch more old anime besides whatever Streamline and CPM were localising.
Noah Watson
What's dishonest about pointing out the degradation of anime quality in recent years?
Charles Wright
>degradation of anime quality
For anime, animation should be a critical factor.
If you are going to discuss the change in quality of anime, obviously omitting a critical factor because it does not agree with your hypothesis is dishonest. I am unsure whether you are actually retarded to not understand this or just trolling. But maybe you'll fill me in on your (lack of) reasoning?

I blame SOA and isekai in general. It made way too much money for its own good and now almost every anime that doesn't have a well funded studio behind it takes shortcuts and puts out safe, by the numbers shit in order to stay in the black.

Grayson Rivera
WTF?! Look at how good this shit is! You seeing this shit!? What the fuck happened? Why can’t modern anime look this good?! Compare literally any modern anime to how good this this still right here is! The degradation of anime is upon us and we let it happen!
Kayden Williams
That was a fun show.
Liam Rodriguez
Ok, here's a better example of the dragon for comparisons sake. Dragon still looks better, camera still has a more visually interesting angle, colors still look better and convey the mood of the world in question. Now what?
Kevin Adams
They both look like shit,
Mason Carter
anime has always been low quality compared to manga
Tyler Lewis
>basic isekai protag
Nigger those are the same series. The right one is the 2020 remake
Owen Smith
Onstead of making this basic bitch thread whining about how much the new orphen sucks you could have done the champ thing and just made a thread about how much you love the original and not advertised the new one at all
Logan Davis
>>expressive, mature protagonist that believably looks like he could chimp the fuck out
>>dramatic lighting
>>composition and camera angles to convey the grandness scale of protag’s face
>>darker colors and shadows convey the mature mood of the piece
Holy fuck anime has really degraded.
Luis Brown
>Does that also take into account the stupid as fuck design on the right?
Yeah, how easy it is to make move was taken into account for the design on the right, straighter edges and less details massively cuts down on time.
> At least in the original, the dragon looked good even in motion.
What motion?
Jace Diaz
Since when does that excuse shitty color palette?
Charles Peterson
Adam Morales
He's saying that the MC looks like an isekai MC in the remake.
Hunter Johnson
That's the point, he's comparing a specific scene from both the original and the remake, how was that hard to understand?
Joshua Collins
Survivorship bias, basically.
Whenever there comparisons are drawn, they end up comparing some of the best shot from some of the best shows of an entire decade, with whatever random current show they choose. That ignores the fact that a huge percentage of old anime doesn't look good either, both in terms of art and animation.
In this case I do agree with the OP though, the general composition of the second pic looks bland and uninspired in general.
I just don't see the point of making a remake of a (not even that popular) franchise this old, just to make a worse product, even if we judge the old one by today's standards, it feels like they're scrapping the bottom of the barrel just to find a fantasy novel to adapt.
Jordan Watson
Not even good cherrypicking, since the left part of OP's pic consistently looked like utter shit even for its time
Thomas Allen
Is that mardock scramble in the second top right?

Nice, I'm surprised I got that. Took me like 10 minutes to remember the name.
Cheers.
