In recent years, there seems to be a phenomenon that fewer and fewer new episodes that can cause extremely high topics every year.

In the 1989s, it can be said to be the best era of Japanese animation, and it can be called the golden age. Many animations created during this period are very excellent.

is huge in quantity and excellent quality is the most typical feature.

such as the familiar "EVA", "Star Cowboy", "Saint Seiya" and " Slam Dunk ", as well as the "Memories Trilogy" of Otomo Katsuyo , etc.

2015 phenomenon-level masterpiece EVA, one of the founders of Khara, nicknamed "Rubbish", once said a sentence.

The Japanese animation industry is about to end in five years.

Although five years have passed and the Japanese animation industry is not over yet, it also indirectly reflects that many older generations of excellent animation makers are worried about the current Japanese animation industry.

Many second-dimensional fans who love old fans also like to quote this sentence to lament the current incompetence of the Japanese animation industry.

I read an article a few days ago about the most popular comic app among young Japanese people in the digital era was invented by Koreans, and the top 50 of the highest readings above are almost all Korean comics.

Traditional Japanese comics have also been hit.

Although the overall scale and profitability of the industry have not had much impact, animation still occupies a solid position in the Japanese national entertainment economy.

But as an ordinary enthusiast, I inevitably feel that Japanese animation really seems to have lost its previous vitality.

Quote a sentence from netizens to summarize the current Japanese animation very vividly.

The current animations have hardly worked on details. Even the industry's top works are mainly reflected in smooth movements, bright colors, and mature use of storyboard . Painting like old works that use lines to pile up huge amounts of details has become history forever.

's previous works were fine works created by excellent producers who spent a lot of time. Every manuscript was full of love. Now in the era of rapid commercialization, producers and audiences could not afford to wait.

Another important reason If you have just watched a large number of old and new works, you will find that the spirit displayed by old and new works is different.

Previous works such as Ghibli encourage people to face life with hope in daily life. Imato used animation to point out the current national disadvantages of Japan, praying for the people to have their dreams again, and Katsuyo Otomo used works to acne the distorted values ​​of the present.

These excellent directors express their values ​​with their works. In the final analysis, they sincerely hope that their country and people can get better and better.

is just in Japan's current sluggish economic environment, young people in Japan are becoming increasingly depressed, and the fertility and marriage rates are continuing to be sluggish. Even animation works reveal the elements of "depression".

Even if it is not a mourning person, he is still in another world YY and rarely returns to reality.

Of course, this factor is inseparable from the development of the times. In the mid-1980s, Japan entered the bubble economy era and the economy developed rapidly. At that time, most people still had confidence in the future.

A new animation form became popular during this period, that is OVA. At that time, the developed image rental market made OVA popular. Many content involving violence that cannot be broadcast on regular TV stations were sold separately in OVA. The audience was also ordinary people, but for real animation enthusiasts to watch.

It can be said that the relationship between the animation production company and the animation audience at that time was very harmonious.

By the 1990s, the harm of the bubble economy began to appear, stocks plummeted, companies went bankrupt, and the " Miyazaki Kishi incident " led to the stigma of the "Otaku", which led to the Japanese government at that time having to restrict it.

Nowadays, Japanese animation is not just an internal problem, but may be more of an external pressure. The popularity of Korean comics mentioned above is also impacting the traditional Japanese comics form.

The animation industry from China and Western countries is also developing rapidly, and it is really difficult for Japanese animation to stand in the king again.

But for us ordinary animation enthusiasts, there are treasures left by our seniors in the past that can be often taken out and missed, and there are also works that are eye-catching now.

The new works today are actually more mature in overall technology. For example, the phenomenal masterpiece "Attack on Titan", which has a masterpiece that is not inferior to the old movie in terms of depth of thought.

We miss the old anime not to highlight the superiority of that era, but whether the painters or the audience had a persistent and serious love for animation in that era.

This kind of love is pure and not mixed with the exaggeration of today's digital age.
