The animator’s cartoonist, Miyao, said that he has seen Japanese animations in the past 40 years, the level of painting has improved, and the performance has become fine, which makes him happy. But in turn, there is also a place where he feels that the level has dropped. That is, the Japanese animation “cannot describe an adult.”
Miyao doesn’t know, the current Japanese animation is “describe the adult,” or “do not want to describe the adult.” In short, he felt that the animation did not describe the trustworthy adults. Perhaps the producers and viewers are no longer looking for such an adult image in the animation
The “adult” mentioned by Miyao is not about age, but to make people feel the “thickness” that this person has come from in various life experiences. He believes that the current animated character is only set on the screen, but there is no inner age. In the original, as long as you use a few lines and plays, you can let the audience feel “ah, this is an adult.”
To describe “adult” is not the same as shaping “the right adult who is perfect.” If all the characters are decent, it will only look fake. The adults who have experienced all kinds of experiences and choices, and the adults who have experienced and corrupted and degraded, have further contrasted the two roles. Miyao thinks that the current animation is very lacking in this design
In the eyes of the palace, the reason why Japanese animation can’t describe an adult is that one of the most important reasons is that the world famous theater on Sunday is stopped. The world famous theater has to describe adults, and animations that everyone can watch, can become a standard
Miyao thinks that the key to the animation of the famous theater type is not whether the original work is a masterpiece, but that these works will never be forgotten. “The protagonist lives in a world that the adults have established.” They are troubled, groping, and looking for tomorrow in a world where common sense and prejudice are already there. The world is not for the sake of children
And fantasy works can use the phrase “this child has a special power” to subvert all these reasons. Although it is easy to do so, the more you use it, the less convincing it is. Even if the overcoming power of the kernel is compensated for by the overwhelming painting power, it cannot change the essence
Miyao admits that there is absolutely no need to let all the works go to the pursuit of becoming a masterpiece theater. The easy and tasteless animation does have its existence. However, when they really want to make an animation like a famous theater, they have to test whether they have grown up and can make it. It’s always the child’s own, and it’s impossible to become an adult at once. This is not a technical issue, but a problem of the mind

Former cartoonist Ichi Hiroshi put forward a point of view: The watershed of the lack of adults in the story creation of modern Japan is the Macross. Since “MACROSS”, a kind of thing similar to the world view has been set up. I don’t describe the reality of adults, and I don’t think there is any problem and push the plot
The “adult” in the creation of this story can also be replaced by “parent” and “history”. “MACROSS” opened a mouth: “It is too much trouble to consider parents (history) to draw. Just follow your own paintings.”

Miyao also agrees that the captain in “MACROSS” has almost no sense of existence, making people feel that the production team wants to draw this person beautiful. This work uses children and idols and mechanics to prove that even if you don’t draw an adult, you can achieve commercial success. Miyao called it “a revolutionary work of sin.”

Miyao’s remarks won the approval of many netizens. Another cartoonist Matsuda will see the words of Miyao in the future and feel that there is a place to agree. However, as a person who has become an adult, he has a question:
The reason why the animation does not describe the image of an adult, is it not because there is no adult in the real world that the creator wants to describe?
You know, the works created by young people are drawn by their generation who are now adults
Matsuda wants to add a little more, and now there is also an animation that describes “Adults”. If you ignore this premise when talking about the current animation, it is just an old hazard
The animation “Unlimited Zone 23”, the protagonist of the province, I blame the adults dirty. And without the physical AI heroine, Eve said to him:
“As long as you become the adult you have longed for.”
When I was young, Matsuda heard this line and only thought it was a beautiful and empty way. Now, if you think about whether you can become an “adult who has been longing for”, he can no longer easily say that “the animation now has no adults.”
松田发问: If the previous animations have had an adult who is worthy of yearning, then look at those who grew up with the animation and become an adult who can make people look forward to? Even the generation of the OVA in the 1980s may not feel like a decent adult
