Cel Animation vs Digital Animation

This.
cel animation is beautiful and I'll never be able to love digital animation as much as I love hand-drawn
but the paints used in some cel animation are often toxic and breathing them in and touching them caused harm to animators, including fatal respiratory problems etc.. working on hand-drawn projects tends to be more physically taxing as well in terms of repetitive motion injuries. It also takes more labor, which seems like it would be good because it creates more jobs, but usually just means the work gets offloaded to cheaper animation studios in countries with less ethical standards about not over-working and providing decent working conditions for their animators
I think digital animation will get more visually compelling with time. I really miss how traditional animators used to treat the screen as a canvas and position character movement in such a dynamic way. op pic has some great examples of that. hopefully some of that artistry will come back and new ways of making anime visually interesting in a thoughtful way will develop a little more than they are now.
Nobody is defending early 2000s shit. Something about 80s era anime is just that not all that much anime was made back then. The amount of tv+ova+film projects per year is many times more currently than what would be seen in those days. I think the visible shifts are also in part of this industry change, and not just a product of the differing mediums.
At least with today's technology we can have much better representation of 3D spaces in anime
Kill la Kill was no longer considered 'good' after about 3 episodes and was considered a 'trainwreck' after about 16 episodes.
show on the right will probably be better
