Posted by arren18 on 01.31.2014, 01:10 AM: Interesting. When I saw the title I found myself agreeing, but his explanation was a little different from what I was thinking. Rather than being an issue of the staff at animation studios, I think of the problem being that the industry these days involves a lot of pandering to that otaku audience. Studios make a lot of money from that demographic, so they either make stuff directly targeted at them, or include elements in other works that will have the same effect. So I'd say the problem stems from particular stereotypes and templates being perceived as lucrative (pretty accurate it would seem) and then being regurgitated to the point where they no longer resemble reality.

Posted by Saddletank on 01.31.2014, 05:24 PM: He has to be referring to their physical shape because he's talking about drawing them. Drawing is an entirely visual thing, so he's talking about the look of the character.
|
Posted by Orphic Okapi on 01.31.2014, 07:01 PM: I think he's talking about both. Because, like Roar said, there are more and less realistic styles of drawing; I don't think he is criticizing Doraemon simply for adopting a cartoony style with disproportionate bodies. Animation can go a long way towards establishing the personality of a character, and, if the characters move realistically, can help ground even the most fantastic situations.
|
Posted by Theowne on 01.31.2014, 10:31 PM: I agree with Orphic. I do not believe that the physical shape of a character is all that Miyazaki was thinking about here. Yes, drawing is purely visual, but the art of drawing and animating movement and behaviour is about much more.
