Who will hyperexploit the animators, VAs, storyboarders, etc to produces the 100000th variation of some high schooler living in runescape being hit on by hypersexualized women all while filmed from the the ass cam perspective?
Luckily I don’t know for these since they are not emitted here, wtf is that even?
It’s almost every anime. All the ones that get really popular are like this. My Hero Academia is the easiest example. Jujutsu Kaijen was thankfully a bit low on the sexualisation aspect. Chainsaw Man is like this too. I don’t follow anime much so this is all I have.
Jojos: oversexualized men > oversexualized women
Won’t somebody think of the pantsushots!!!
Imagine Anime being higher on your priority list than people not starving to death
Marx did not think of the anime. QED socialists
Has anime become a catchall term for animated stuff?
Animated movies, series etc. are like most other art media and just need people with the resources and will to get the job done. Both movies and cartoons were created in USSR and it is possible that a mature animated creation scene could be birthed at some point in the future.
Anime and manga on the other hand are more than just the medium. They are specific products of Japan and are cultural exports with stratified characteristics. No one will say Avatar the Last Airbender is an anime for example.
Capitalist has etched its distinctive marks on the anime and manga industry. Without capitalism anime would not exist as it does today but in all likelihood will be a lot better because god knows it cannot get much worse.
Oh no, anime will be made by animators passion projects and many aspects will be automated with AI. The plots will have more variety than a bunch of hot high school girls hitting on the most boring dense dude.
That’s probably my favorite anti-comm myth. No one gets any pay. Despite the fact that you can easily debunk that by showing paystubs 🤣
The thing is people already draw anime for free on their own time. There would probably be more cartoon making by the masses under communism because people will have both more free time and access to artistic resources.
Anime no longer existing wouldn’t be the WORST thing in the world, what the hell is he talking about?
“No more Godzilla movies”
Now that is what people should be more concerned about
Well I imagine it would have much less fascist undertones then we see now.
For real, the fact that one of the most popular anime/manga "Attack on titan"s creator is an ultra nationalist or something and nobody even cares. https://www.polygon.com/2019/6/18/18683609/attack-on-titan-fascist-nationalist-isayama-hajime-manga-anime
The manga basically ended with the implication that everything would be fine if Eren was allowed to genocide his enemies.
A lot, loooot of anime creators are that way.
A society without anime sounds like an all-round win to me.
dont take my jojos from me. I will wait the 4 years required for each part to be animated
The silent downvotes worry me, this is factually a true statement, what gives.
Because some people including comrades like anime.
Also, as art style it is objectively superior to all other comparable styles, evidenced plenty by easiness of creation at the same level of skill - it always look better and make expressing motion and emotions easier, making it proletarian style. Even more visible in how even commercial manga creators in its homeland are some of the most exploited and crunched people there.
I assume the implication is that Anime as it exists today would no longer exist. We can make up an idealized vision of Anime as simply an “art style” but the reality is that it’s a multi million dollar industry that exploits it’s workers and is used to push overwhelmingly problematic content. If it ceased to exist this is a net gain.
Again, the only one who is conflating style with industry and some of its content is you, nobody argue against the removal of exploitative industry, but i see the narration about the style all the time.
Somehow i don’t see the posts about removing anything other, it is always just manga.
EDIT: typos. Also it is going to stay anyway, China already produce more manga than Japan and with better quality.

Yes, the exploitation there is less too. Also there is way less questionable content, though the liberalism is similar.

I made no mention of art style, you brought that up. I simply mean the anime industry and it’s problematic practices and tropes is inherently flawed in many ways, and if it were to be banned or dismantled, it would be a good thing. And just because China does it that doesn’t make it suddenly ok, the root issue still remains.
I know that a lot of comrades like Anime, and there isn’t anything wrong with that, but it would clearly be a good thing for it to go, or at least change drastically to the point that all that remains is the art style, nothing more.

On which you responded with:

Meaning you not only entirely agreed with blanket condmnation, you also implied there is something wrong with people who do not share such sentiments.
Yes, I make no mention of the art style, when I hear Anime I think of the industry, not the art.
Edit: If you see what the image in the post actually talk about, it is referring to the way the current industry operates, and how nobody would be willing to make anime the way its produced now under socialism, which I 100% believe will be the case.
“exploits its workers” - one when writing OPM webseries: i dont feel like drawing complex shapes.

Communism is when everyone works for free
Newsflash, if your goal is to efficiently earn lots of money in Japan, you’d better become a hobo before joining the fucking anime industry. Even in the essential sectors of the Japanese economy, it is hard to find people worn so excruciatingly to the bone and getting so shamelessly little in return for it as animators. There is no economic incentive in this industry except to leave
People make animation for fun all the time. Plus there are Soviet animated films.
Also want to add that mangaka and animators in Japan are severely overworked to the point where they die, either from health complications or by their own hand. It is not an industry worth praise. Animation will still exist, but the exploitation will not.
Gommunism is when no anime tiddies.
China’s doing a bang up job of making Asian-style cartoons lately (weebs that never seen a single Chinese cartoon yet just summarily say it’s not anime so it’s automatically terrible eat shit and die) and the DPRK has some hits too. What’s the problem?
