My favorite is stuff that’s western animation studios working with eastern animation studios to make some really unique and weird animation!
I understand why some people are tired of anime that all looks the same, but yeah, 90% of western television is a bunch of shows that are all written and shot the same. It’s the whole 90% of everything is crap thing.
Like I don’t see people complaining about the numerous fucking shows that cribbed Rick and Morty’s style like The Lower Decks or Solar Opposites, or fuck, I know there’s another one. They all look the damn same and it’s not even an interesting style nor is it often well animated!
For a while everything looked like Steven Universe/Adventure Time (CalArts). There was a couple of decades where Hanna Barbera single-handedly diminished the entire art form with the sheer volume of their minimally animated dogshit.
I actually kind of like the CalArts style, but I also understand how overused it was, which was unfortunate. I’m glad we’re turning a corner and folks like Joe Bennett are getting their time in the sun.
I love his big-headed almost hyperrealistic Chibi style in Common Side Effects.
