Hey everyone, I'm new here and wanted to get your opinions on something that's been on my mind lately. As a long-time anime fan, I've noticed that anime seems to have evolved quite a bit in terms of both animation style and storytelling over the years. Some of the classic shows had a very unique, hand-drawn feel to them, and the pacing was often slower and more deliberate, while today's anime often features faster editing, CGI effects, and a wider variety of visual styles.
On one hand, I really appreciate how the art and technology have progressed – we're getting some visually stunning series now. But on the other hand, I feel like some of the deeper, slower-paced stories are a bit rarer. The shift towards faster pacing and more flashy animation sometimes feels like it's sacrificing the emotional depth that older shows had.
So, my question is: do you think anime has evolved too much in terms of art style and storytelling? Are we losing the essence of what made classic anime so special, or is this just a natural progression? What do you guys think?
Looking forward to hearing your thoughts!
