How does modern anime compensate for the lack of grain and frame movement along the sprockets of a film reel that every show up to 00s had?

it caters to the modern anime watchers. oldfags dont get a say

Those are unwanted byproducts.

But they make static frames look more lively, as if time is actually progresses rather than getting frozen in place because the studio doesn't have enough money to draw a few frames of something moving slowly.

It's a matter of taste. I find frame movement annoying, but I love grain, variable line thickness that betrays human hand movement like a subtle form of calligraphy, and the slightly uneven texture of paint on celluloid. It makes everything feel more physical.

To answer OP's question: modern anime compensates for that lack of physicality by imitating the physical constraints of cameras. Things like handheld-like camera movements, gaussian blur to emulate shallow depth of field, and perspective distortion have become more common.

The way they trace 3D models here is an interesting example, because it's a mixed blessing: it allows directors to use more dynamic camera movement that would be difficult to track in pure 2D, but it also makes it harder to use squash & stretch to give movement more weight, because that requires animators to deviate from the reference they're tracing.

>It's a matter of taste.
It is not. Otherwise studios would add grain, something that was done by Mitsuo Iso, whoever directed Shigurui and bunch of other people. It's not hard to slap a dynamic grain filter on something. Takes 10 seconds using MPV and a custom script. If people wanted grain, anime would have grain. Since there is no grain, it's an unwanted byproduct neither the consumers nor the artists care for.

Explain the endless arguments on nyaa over grain vs. denoise filters.

Honestly, the main reason why adding grain is so rare is probably because TV stations and streaming sites use low bitrates, so the bits that the encoder would allocate to preserving dynamic grain would come at the expense of preserving line sharpness and the textures underneath the grain.

>Explain the endless arguments on nyaa over grain vs. denoise filters.
Nobody gives a shit about some westerners who pirate their cartoons off an FBI honeypot. Grain is an unwanted byproduct to the only people who matter: the creators (and Japanese). It's not you, an outsider, and certainly not nyaa users, people who aren't even consumers, who decide what is unwanted and what isn't. They aren't even in the position to have an opinion. They don't have a voice.
