My thoughts on the anime art.

Oh anime. I have a love/hate relationship with it.

I can understand where a lot of people are getting this "I hate anime" attitude, the kids are obnoxious and have this superiority attitude that thinks anime is the only thing out there and the only thing they like, which is really annoying. But I don't think we should give up on anime completely. I mean, anime is what got a lot of people to pick up a pencil and start drawing. That's great... sometimes. Theres some really great anime stuff out there both art and cartoon-wise. It's just that you have to weed through all the CRAP in the way.

The thing is, after learning to draw the anime style, people stick to it. Which is where we go wrong. People are under the impression that anime is the "best style" and that they should keep on drawing that style and move to Japan and make a Manga. So you can draw big eyes with nonexistent shiny shit and spiky hair that defies the laws of physics, that doesn't make it "cool". I want to see art, not the same shit over and over again. I want a comic interesting plot not the same Naruto fanfic where your character makes out Sasuke. Anime is not the best style. Anime is not the only style. And frankly, at this point, it's not that interesting of a style anymore. Especially after you've seen it been done over and over again.

The problem is: Most people aren't evolving.

And it's just not anime nerds. Lots of kids are sticking to the same sound on the radio, the same movies, the same fashion. We're jumping on bandwagons that's requires no thought or opinion. Who needs books when you have TV?

Our generation is nothing but "nonconforming" conformists.

ALSO: My dad's a faggot.

So you have a job. Get over yourself. Doesn't mean you can't take a yard stick downstairs.
