Sing Yesterday for Me did a very good job of invoking that older look, even if it flopped due to pacing issues. It is possible to have a distinctive look with the right team, be it capturing an old look or reinvent something new like Urusei Yatsura has amazingly done.
I would love for them to directly continue with the story after the last reboot. There’s so much more to the world, like how Kilua’s sister is a monster that is not from the main island. (Just like the ants.)
@@_Mike.P you do know that anime studios only adapt the manga series, right? the original manga hasn't got to that part yet, though it is implied that at one point, we will know more about those things.
13:40 I mean you couldn't get the Cels as no one does that any more, but you could easily get painted backgrounds. Kazuhiro Furuhashi did so when he directed Dororo.
Great video, and I would be sure to watch any new adaptation. I think most likely would be them just continuing from where 2011 left off. However, if they did start from the beginning, Kite is a *must* to be in episode 1. IMO he was critical to Togashi's vision. Not even mentioning him for 76 episodes was the one major mistake Madhouse made for their 2011 adaptation. Heck in 1999 Nippon didn't even know who he would turn out to be, and their episode one had Kite in half their first episode.
As much as I agree with you about 2011's visual style, I thought they paced action scenes really well and clearly. Would definitely help viewers with understanding a certain complicated fight scene in the manga. The 2011 anime was also obsessed with dutch angles which I found funny (though I like dutch angles a lot so I wasn't complaining)
I think the tech absolutely broadens what's possible in anime, but it just doesn't fit Hunter x Hunter. (Although I could absolutely be proved wrong depending on the creative vision. It /could/ work.)
@beandon41anime is if course way faster in Terms of pacing. And if Most of the episodes are just a static still frames with a lot of dialogues. That would be boring with no tension at all, and that would be weak direction (which was at times in 2011 version). 1999 more showed things than just Talking about it (basically Show, don't Tell)
That part about modern anime trying to mimic the old cel style could make for an interesting video in trying to pick apart which get the closest and what seems to be some common pitfalls.
I appreciate what you said about the visuals, but I honestly think the 2011 series holds up perfectly fine with modern anime as it is. Of course, they'd add the CG backgrounds & VFX for big fights like Demon Slayer & Bleach, but otherwise the previous aesthetics still look great. It wasn't as dated as Bleach, still looks better than One Piece (though even OP has improved in its ongoing arc) and even offers superior animation to the latter. If it just got the modern treatment of other big shounen, it would be perfect. I've honestly held off reading the existing manga arcs that weren't adapted just to see them play out for the first time in anime form as I did the original. The show was damn near perfect, and aside from Beserk, deserves to continue more than basically any other anime!
I wouldn’t mind a HXH series Canipa, but damn it give me a Zatch Bell reboot. The manga is a masterpiece and the anime adaptation failed to capture what made it great. Seriously, I’d argue Zatch Bell would do gangbusters if it got an anime made by a talented staff and studio.
@@MorbiusSlayer I could see that but how would that get new people into the series? I suppose they could reprint the volumes but look at HXH? Sure it was popular with the 90s series but it became bigger thanks to the anime. Same with JoJo’s. I truly believe that if Zatch Bell got a good staff and studio behind it the series would reach acclaim. The reason why the series never caught on globally and in the west was because of the meh adaptation. Though the card game was neat.
@@Avarn388 I watched the first 6 episodes a few days ago and really liked the first 5. The sixth one is just about some kid in the hospital who’s broken leg won’t heal, though. Does it get better?
Video was good but I actually like the madhouse 2011 more than most anime it was really well done the soundtracks were perfect the cinematography was incredible and it really could bring the action when needed for example the hisoka vs gon fight to me the animation style was perfection and pls never suggest 3D again
I still think it'd be funny if it was styled after the original series. Just inexplicably 4:3 and with the old voice actors back, including Naruto as Gon. Though HxH was recently delisted from SJ's currently running series list, so it might be on hiatus for good now, rip 😓 Maybe they could do something like get Togashi into the anime studio, even if he can't finish the manga he can help them plot the story or whatever for an anime "original" ending, similar to how Kubo and Isayama worked with the studios for Bleack and AoT to alter some stuff from the manga.
I'd say Kill la Kill's attempt of getting that late Showa-era anime feel is a success. Bringing over tropes from those days like repeated scrolling of a frame, harmony frame, and callback moments shaded in 1 color and 4:3 aspect ratio. The spirit is there even though they did not try to replicate it using materials or techniques of the time other than hand-painted backgrounds (not that I'm aware of any direct attempts of replications on the technical side). And oh boy ain't that show a looker.
Congrats on the finished Home Renovations! Enjoy a break while you have the chance! My history with Hunter X Hunter isn't quite as extensive as many fans, I watched part of the 2011 adaptation a few years back, but I haven't even finished the Greed Island Arc. Part of my reasoning has always been that I find it hard to watch a series if it doesn't have a guarantee of ending. With neither Anime finishing a full adaptation of the source material, and the Manga itself being on hiatus for as long as it was, I never found the motivation to continue this series in any form -- Even if I did enjoy it while I was watching it. Since then, I've looked into the '99 series a bit, and am of the opinion that it certainly looks better than the 2011 version. It may be that I have a soft spot for the 90s Anime aesthetic, and Hunter X Hunter's style was born in the 90s, so it certainly fits the 90s style better than the 2011 version. The Animation was cleaner, and the darker tones are a better fit for a series that's as surprisingly dark as Hunter X Hunter. It's like comparing the Evangelion Rebuild movies to the original series (The End of Evangelion released in '97, and the first rebuild movie in 2007, so there's a similar gap between these two movies and the '99 and 2011 versions of HxH), certainly there's more movement in the modern movies, but the look of the original series can't be beat -- The atmosphere of the original Evangelion can't be touched with fancy effects and modern compositing, even with Anno working on the modern movies, and many shots being completely recreated especially in the first movie, the original version still looks better to me. Again, the animation improved, the original series used a lot of still frames whereas the movie clearly had a lot more time and money to animate its characters -- And yet, the original series still has the better character design (Even if the designs were pretty much unchanged, I think most agree the characters look better in the original series than the modern movies), a more fitting mood thanks to the darker lighting, and the staff used their constraints greatly to their advantage. The still frames in Evangelion are still talked about as being unnerving, and even though they're just in the series to pad out the episode's runtime, I think the majority of fans prefer having them to a flashy sequence any day. The biggest problem in my opinion with the 2011 version in my opinion, wasn't so much the cleaner look, but the character designs. They changed the art style, but the character designs weren't really changed to fit a simpler style, they looked like the original characters (In the 90s Version), but simpler -- Still not as simple as the Manga mind you, but still. A modern Anime should utilize what makes Anime great today, rather than what worked ten to twenty years ago. We can try and recreate the old look, but it'll always viewed as an imitation rather than a recreation. Another problem with Hunter X Hunter that may not work so well, is the pacing. It's fine to have a few episodes to explain something in your series when you're expecting a hundred or so episodes -- But if you were to move to a modern Anime production, with 12 episode seasons or coures, you can't sit around and waste multiple weekly episodes with exposition. This is why the pacing of modern Anime is a lot more punchy, and why you don't get ten episodes of training in Jujutsu Kaisen -- And because of that, it can sometimes feel like the characters aren't getting any room to breath. We've mostly cut out the idea of filler all together, and so quiet moments are far and few between. So, between the two options: If we got a new Hunter x Hunter series, I would like to see some adjustments to the story. I wouldn't want it to go into an entirely new direction, of course. But I've heard from a few friends, that they couldn't get into Hunter x Hunter due to the length of the prologue. I don't feel like there's much they could cut out of the original series without completely changing the whole story however, they could always go the FMA: Brotherhood route, and expect that the viewer is familiar with the original Manga, and cut out many parts of the first couple arcs. But this would certainly scare off new fans -- Especially if a lot was being glossed over, and then later became important. So, if their goal was to attract new fans, I'd personally like to see them go the Trigun Stampede route with the series, where they take the characters, worlds and ideas of the original, while putting their own unique spin on the series. I personally don't think that any new Director, should be forced to replicate the style of either the '99 or 2011 versions, because I feel like a director should be given complete control over their adaptation. It's easiest for a team to work on creating their own vision, rather than try and recreate someone else's after all. Otherwise, I'd like to see the 2011 staff continue the Anime in the style of Bleach. A modern production, that looks good, but is faithful to the original Magna, without having to go back and redo what the 2011 series did. I personally would feel motivated to continue the series from where I left off if this were the case, otherwise I may just go back and start reading the Manga now that it's left hiatus. Regardless of which route they go, it's fun to speculate!
It's weird, because I don't mind some designs like Gon and Killua, some like Kurapika were done far better in my opinion, but others were hit really hard by the inconsistency. 2011 had this too, but 99 really dropped the ball with Hisoka. Kind of worried what a current adaptation would look like, because his design in the Greed Adventure trailer looked a little... off, for lack of a better word. Maybe I'm being nitpicky, but he's a pretty major character in the grand scheme of things.
'Absoloutely?' That's confidence right there, and I rate it. Would be down for a shorter series, especially with studios being overloaded with work and multiple series. I don't know about Bleach either, but that new adaptation looks crispy. Your love for the series shone through and, as a fellow HxH enjoyer, I'm here for it. The little touches like the transitions were awesome too. Was a bit scandalised that you were saying it shouldn't be like 99 or 2011, which I love for different reasons, but I get it. Really it should stand on its own as something clearly visually *now*, whether that's through 3D models or a looser aesthetic or something else. Disappointed you haven't got more views on this, especially when you say you've been wanting to do a Hunter video for ages and it being this good.
You said that anime should explore different ideas and aesthetics, but I think I never saw you commenting the anime adaptation of Aku no Hana. It would be interesting to see your ideas on that take of a manga by Oshimi Shuzo and the choice for rotoscope animation.
If you want a nice gobetween retro and Modern, look no further than Toei, TMS and Wit. Toei's Modern One Piece, and Dragon Ball look amazing with their modern composite. TMS nailed the look in many Lupin III shows and Ranking of Kings nailed the look via studio Wit.
On your Twitter poll I said this: "Realistically, I'd have no choice to be open to new character designs since time will make people from 2011 be less and less available. I do actually like the designs from 2011 so if they *could* then that'd be neat but if not it wouldn't be the end of the world for me" I still stand by this but I do agree a new look would perhaps be more creativly interesting especially if we're just going to continue on from where 2011 left off and considering what the story is like now.
I mean, Jump Force was a general clusterfuck, there is so much more in 3D Jump Force was relying on the default shader from unreal, which is optimized for realisitc graphics while the game itself wanted to be stylized and, well, anime Man, Jump Force makes me so sad as a gamedev
I do when it comes to animation and art, the HxH 2011 went insane in the Chimera Ant Arc. But the 1999 was way more creative when it comes to adapting those earlier arcs.
I really don't think the Hunter X Hunter anime needs to change. I really don't like all the changes in animation style. They should stick to what they did before. I don't want stuff redesigned.
I would say a new hunter x hunter anime would look like the 2011 version with some upgrades and divided by batches, however they should continue where it left of, it wouldn't make sense to do another reboot of a remake who boosted it's popularity even more thanks to the 2011 version more people got into hunter x hunter which proves that animation and art style has effect on a series good or bad which in this case was good.
Now that you've pit all the versions of Hunter X Hunter together along with other shows, the 2011 version looks exceptionally bland to me. No way they are coming back with that style lol. And a good show like that deserves to be have its style re-developed again.
@@ryuusaki7309 Ok. Was the pacing as bad as D Gray Man Hallow? Or was it like TYBW for Bleach where the pacing made sense in cutting out a lot of fluff/ reshuffling events to make more sense in animation.
@@Avarn388 let see what they cut was the early stuff where yoh was doing odd jobs like helping a young boy to box and getting that spirit to help him or a spirit who died in a accident helped to come to peace. Similarly to Yu Yu hakusho they skipped that odd job stuff that doesn’t really go into the actual story.
2011 was a much better adaptation, but the art direction of the 1999 anime wins. Particularly the Yorknew arc, which in 2011 looks visually dull (they just reduced the colour saturation, that's it). On the other hand, the 2011 anime's version of the Greed Island arc looks miles better than 1999's.
@@A1000-b9s The 1999 anime made changes to the story and characters. Slight changes, but they resulted in inconsistencies. There was also a bunch of random filler insert in. While the 1999 anime did often have better storyboards and a more compelling art direction, the overall quality was mixed, and wasn't as good as the manga.
@@brainwheeze6328 fillers actually made the story to feel more fleshed out. Not just a copy paste of the manga. In my opinion at least. 1999 anime Before the greed island is better in art direction, direction, storyboards, shot composition, compositing, storytelling and made some of the Scenes better than The manga (in Terms of storytelling) and fleshed out Characters more. I like leorio a lot more in 1999 version. And killua's personally was shown better and made more sense. And there was less cencorship. 2011 was pretty good, specially The chimera ant arc. But it's not better than 1999 adaptation
@@A1000-b9s I don't think a faithful adaptation is necessarily a better adaptation, but in the case of Hunter x Hunter a big part of its appeal is its story, tone, and characters. The changes made in the 1999 I don't think match the quality of Yoshihiro Togashi's writing, and thus I think the 2011 is better on that front.
I Know what I am going to say isn't anything to do with the main point of this video, but I found it funny how my last name is said the exact same way as Gon's, so my last name is Friess but it is said like Freecss, which is funny to me so that gets me to think if you were to be like transferred into an Anime world of your choosing where your trait's name/last name pick what you will be in the new world, but it would most likely go off of the name/last name of the person being transferred, which means me and some of the people in my family with the same last name, like my father and mother would probably be made into connected family of Gon, which is a neat thought. has anyone else thought of something like that, or just me? sorry if this sounds stupid I just thought it was an interesting thought and wanted to throw it out there for maybe others to put their own thought's into it.
I don't think so. I think One Piece and other long-running anime are able to exist today thanks to many years of building relationships and schedules that would make them possible. I can't imagine all too many of them would be started today (outside of easier-to-produce kids shows) when most studios are struggling to even get 12 episodes out.
Unpopular opinion, if the hunter hunter anime comes back it won’t be nearly as popular in the west because a lot of its popularity comes from this new anime wave which has a lot more simplistic viewers who were attached to the light hearted vibe the 2011 version had and could barely take the darker direction the chimera ant arc had, seeing as gon and killua won’t return in the anime for a while if ever on top of how dark the series is now with the phantom troupe background, the several sadistic kakin princes, and kurapika becoming the new main character, I don’t see it gaining the same shonen popularity in the west it once had
I mean probably not as much but it will still be over the average popular, enough that it'd be worth animating, did you see how the manga volume 37 sold?? I'd say people would actually be pleased by the animation adaptation being that the Dark Continent Arc is a whole lot of text and a lot of people can't digest it. Sounds like good deal to me.
The problem with the new Bleach anime is that it's cutting scenes. There's a lot of fights in the final arc. I don't see how they're getting it done in 52 episodes.
*There would be no meaningful difference.* The issue is, in the twelve years between the first and the second anime, from 1999 to 2011, there was a drastic change in production. A complete transfer from analogue to digital, from 4:3 to 16:9 aspect ratio, from 480p standard definition to 1080p full high definition. But another twelve years after, literally nothing has changed. For now, neural networks still can not do frame interpolation from 12 FPS to 60 FPS well enough automatically, but in the next twelve years, it might be possible. This means that a new anime can be done with smooth 60 FPS animation. Even more: most animators will lose their jobs since only key frames will be enough to draw. Neural networks will draw everything else. In regard to non-anime related things, the changes also slow down: from 1999 to 2011 we have got Siri, iPhone, iPad, Facebook, Twitter, Google, Amazon, but from 2011 to 2023 we have got true mass production of electric cars and neural networks "creating" pictures from text or making photos or videos better on your phone. In the next twelve years from 2023 to 2035, there will be way more neural networks in all fields. It is going to be a major change as lots of professions will be replaced by it.

Kind of worried what a current adaptation would look like, because his design in the Greed Adventure trailer looked a little... off, for lack of a better word. Maybe I'm being nitpicky, but he's a pretty major character in the grand scheme of things.
'Absoloutely?' That's confidence right there, and I rate it. Would be down for a shorter series, especially with studios being overloaded with work and multiple series. I don't know about Bleach either, but that new adaptation looks crispy.
Your love for the series shone through and, as a fellow HxH enjoyer, I'm here for it. The little touches like the transitions were awesome too. Was a bit scandalised that you were saying it shouldn't be like 99 or 2011, which I love for different reasons, but I get it. Really it should stand on its own as something clearly visually *now*, whether that's through 3D models or a looser aesthetic or something else.
Disappointed you haven't got more views on this, especially when you say you've been wanting to do a Hunter video for ages and it being this good.
You said that anime should explore different ideas and aesthetics, but I think I never saw you commenting the anime adaptation of Aku no Hana. It would be interesting to see your ideas on that take of a manga by Oshimi Shuzo and the choice for rotoscope animation.
A full sakuga hxh would be cool. But there’s probably too much going on in the industry right now
I imagine they will give them the my hero academia or new bleach production level
maybe in 2040
If you want a nice gobetween retro and Modern, look no further than Toei, TMS and Wit.
Toei's Modern One Piece, and Dragon Ball look amazing with their modern composite.
TMS nailed the look in many Lupin III shows and Ranking of Kings nailed the look via studio Wit.
I honestly didn't even think of a new style
On your Twitter poll I said this:
"Realistically, I'd have no choice to be open to new character designs since time will make people from 2011 be less and less available. I do actually like the designs from 2011 so if they *could* then that'd be neat but if not it wouldn't be the end of the world for me"
I still stand by this but I do agree a new look would perhaps be more creativly interesting especially if we're just going to continue on from where 2011 left off and considering what the story is like now.
I mean, Jump Force was a general clusterfuck, there is so much more in 3D
Jump Force was relying on the default shader from unreal, which is optimized for realisitc graphics while the game itself wanted to be stylized and, well, anime
Man, Jump Force makes me so sad as a gamedev
I do when it comes to animation and art, the HxH 2011 went insane in the Chimera Ant Arc. But the 1999 was way more creative when it comes to adapting those earlier arcs.
The art style yes. The Animation tho. Not that special. 1999 had even better cuts of Animation (sometimes)
I really don't think the Hunter X Hunter anime needs to change. I really don't like all the changes in animation style. They should stick to what they did before. I don't want stuff redesigned.
I definitely do. The 2011 anime style is one of the biggest flaws with the 2011 anime.
I would say a new hunter x hunter anime would look like the 2011 version with some upgrades and divided by batches, however they should continue where it left of, it wouldn't make sense to do another reboot of a remake who boosted it's popularity even more thanks to the 2011 version more people got into hunter x hunter which proves that animation and art style
has effect on a series good or bad which in this case was good.
Now that you've pit all the versions of Hunter X Hunter together along with other shows, the 2011 version looks exceptionally bland to me. No way they are coming back with that style lol.
And a good show like that deserves to be have its style re-developed again.
honestly it doesn’t need a reboot it just needs to look like 2011s it perfectly fits togashis drawing style
I disagree a LOT
It’s the like exact opposite of Togashi’s style. It looks way too clean.
Idk but it would probably be animated by Mappa since they’re always looking to get their hands on popular properties.
Maybe next video could be how jojo part 7 anime could look like? Also can’t wait for hunter x hunter Dark continent arc adaptation
I'm secretly hoping Shunichi Ishimoto becomes the character designer for Part 7.
I don't think Pokemon's anime ending is related to the production. They're just going to make another weekly anime.
That’s an interesting question.
I imagine it would look the same as the recent anime.
Finally new episodes of Hunter x Hunter awesome. 😀👍
After the shaman king remake I would just not watch it nowdays.
@Mak arak I haven’t checked out Shaman King but I heard that the reboot had lightning fast pacing and skipped stuff.
@@Avarn388 it did most of the manga it just had lightning face pace
@@ryuusaki7309 Ok. Was the pacing as bad as D Gray Man Hallow? Or was it like TYBW for Bleach where the pacing made sense in cutting out a lot of fluff/ reshuffling events to make more sense in animation.
@@Avarn388 let see what they cut was the early stuff where yoh was doing odd jobs like helping a young boy to box and getting that spirit to help him or a spirit who died in a accident helped to come to peace. Similarly to Yu Yu hakusho they skipped that odd job stuff that doesn’t really go into the actual story.
@@Avarn388 the pacing is fast tho not god of Highschool wise I haven’t seen that d gray man anime yet. But it is fast pacing
2011 was a much better adaptation, but the art direction of the 1999 anime wins. Particularly the Yorknew arc, which in 2011 looks visually dull (they just reduced the colour saturation, that's it). On the other hand, the 2011 anime's version of the Greed Island arc looks miles better than 1999's.
Wdym much better adaptation? In my opinion the adaptation of 1999 was better in storytelling with it's great storyboards and compositing
@@A1000-b9s The 1999 anime made changes to the story and characters. Slight changes, but they resulted in inconsistencies. There was also a bunch of random filler insert in. While the 1999 anime did often have better storyboards and a more compelling art direction, the overall quality was mixed, and wasn't as good as the manga.
@@brainwheeze6328 fillers actually made the story to feel more fleshed out. Not just a copy paste of the manga. In my opinion at least. 1999 anime Before the greed island is better in art direction, direction, storyboards, shot composition, compositing, storytelling and made some of the Scenes better than The manga (in Terms of storytelling) and fleshed out Characters more. I like leorio a lot more in 1999 version. And killua's personally was shown better and made more sense. And there was less cencorship. 2011 was pretty good, specially The chimera ant arc. But it's not better than 1999 adaptation
@@A1000-b9s I don't think a faithful adaptation is necessarily a better adaptation, but in the case of Hunter x Hunter a big part of its appeal is its story, tone, and characters. The changes made in the 1999 I don't think match the quality of Yoshihiro Togashi's writing, and thus I think the 2011 is better on that front.
@@brainwheeze6328 from What i heard, togashi himself added those fillers. But it's your opinion, for me it's infenior
so, we do have long running show but in shorter format. like attack on titan is doing :P
As long as it isn't the succession ark on the black whale than yea I'd want to see it
Love the 2011 show but I'd be so down for a new interpretation!
My dream adaptation is just a remaster of the 99 series with a better SFX library.
I Know what I am going to say isn't anything to do with the main point of this video, but I found it funny how my last name is said the exact same way as Gon's, so my last name is Friess but it is said like Freecss, which is funny to me so that gets me to think if you were to be like transferred into an Anime world of your choosing where your trait's name/last name pick what you will be in the new world, but it would most likely go off of the name/last name of the person being transferred, which means me and some of the people in my family with the same last name, like my father and mother would probably be made into connected family of Gon, which is a neat thought.
has anyone else thought of something like that, or just me? sorry if this sounds stupid I just thought it was an interesting thought and wanted to throw it out there for maybe others to put their own thought's into it.
When a video about Saint Seiya?
So I should call you frank now
if I could get a Yuyu reboot/reworked ending, I'd happily sacrifice Hunter x Hunter to make it happen
Great video Canipa! do you think a format like one piece currently could be a viable solution for long running anime again?
I don't think so. I think One Piece and other long-running anime are able to exist today thanks to many years of building relationships and schedules that would make them possible. I can't imagine all too many of them would be started today (outside of easier-to-produce kids shows) when most studios are struggling to even get 12 episodes out.
Don't let MAPPA touch this
Bruh
facts
What?
Soul eater soon.. Copium
Unpopular opinion, if the hunter hunter anime comes back it won’t be nearly as popular in the west because a lot of its popularity comes from this new anime wave which has a lot more simplistic viewers who were attached to the light hearted vibe the 2011 version had and could barely take the darker direction the chimera ant arc had, seeing as gon and killua won’t return in the anime for a while if ever on top of how dark the series is now with the phantom troupe background, the several sadistic kakin princes, and kurapika becoming the new main character, I don’t see it gaining the same shonen popularity in the west it once had
I mean probably not as much but it will still be over the average popular, enough that it'd be worth animating, did you see how the manga volume 37 sold?? I'd say people would actually be pleased by the animation adaptation being that the Dark Continent Arc is a whole lot of text and a lot of people can't digest it. Sounds like good deal to me.
I miss the old hxhfandom
The Hunter x Hunter anime is hugely popular. I still see people wearing Hunter x Hunter shirts in college.
wolf no dont
I wish they adapted all of Gundam The Origin. I don't want to watch the original series.
That would be an adaptation of an adaptation
@@thomasffrench3639 Yep.
The problem with the new Bleach anime is that it's cutting scenes. There's a lot of fights in the final arc. I don't see how they're getting it done in 52 episodes.
*There would be no meaningful difference.*
The issue is, in the twelve years between the first and the second anime, from 1999 to 2011, there was a drastic change in production. A complete transfer from analogue to digital, from 4:3 to 16:9 aspect ratio, from 480p standard definition to 1080p full high definition. But another twelve years after, literally nothing has changed.
For now, neural networks still can not do frame interpolation from 12 FPS to 60 FPS well enough automatically, but in the next twelve years, it might be possible. This means that a new anime can be done with smooth 60 FPS animation. Even more: most animators will lose their jobs since only key frames will be enough to draw. Neural networks will draw everything else.
In regard to non-anime related things, the changes also slow down: from 1999 to 2011 we have got Siri, iPhone, iPad, Facebook, Twitter, Google, Amazon, but from 2011 to 2023 we have got true mass production of electric cars and neural networks "creating" pictures from text or making photos or videos better on your phone. In the next twelve years from 2023 to 2035, there will be way more neural networks in all fields. It is going to be a major change as lots of professions will be replaced by it.
Main thing is that it should be by madhouse
Nah

3D and Censorship is the Death 💀 ☠️ of Anime.
Nah every anime almost uses 3d. It's a useful tool depends on where they use it
Grow up.
Censorship has always been a thing. OVAs weren’t the majority back in the day

They are busy now but definitely not a bad choice
