CATDOLL: Animation maker: Eyes are not the key industry. The perceptual cognition of Mars has lasted for 30 years.

When it comes to the production of Japanese anime characters, what impressed me the most was the "Kyoto Animation face" that almost all characters have the same look. In addition, most Japanese anime characters have one thing in common, that is, big eyes!

Although many people have complained that the faces of Japanese anime characters would be scary if they were real, this style of big eyes has been passed down. However, last night, an animator named Kazuyoshi Yanuma, who entered the animation industry in the 1980s and was once affiliated with GAINAX, complained that the current Japanese animation focuses too much on depicting the eyes of female characters, which is meaningless.

Kazuyoshi Yanuma entered the animation production industry in 1984. At that time, he joined Telecom Animation, where Hayao Miyazaki worked, because he admired Hayao Miyazaki. However, when he entered the company, Hayao Miyazaki and Takahata Isao had already left the company. Later, Kazuyoshi Yanuma joined animation production companies such as GAINAX.

He has been engaged in original painting and storyboard work for many years. In the late 1990s, Yanaginuma Kazuyoshi also drew a manga himself and then served as the TV animation supervisor of the manga. As an industry veteran, Yanaginuma Kazuyoshi considers himself to be the first generation of animation fans and calls himself a lolita control. Yanaginuma Kazuyoshi basically takes a critical stance towards current animation.

Kazuyoshi Yanuma said on Twitter yesterday, "Today's animation places special emphasis on the depiction of character's eyes. A certain animation director told us that the effort put into depicting girls' eyes is the same as the effort put into drawing the bridge of Space Battleship Yamato (the bridge of Yamato is represented by the third bridge, which is a hapless supporting role). Everyone thinks that it is meaningless. An animation now makes 200 yen per frame. How much income can you make by completing three frames in two hours? Although it is annoying that the salary for animation production has not increased, the animation itself is not selling well now. If it can sell as well as Hayao Miyazaki's animation, the animation can get 1,000 yen per frame. The lines of today's animation characters have increased. If you want to draw a cute girl, it is no longer a simple matter of drawing a pair of beautiful eyes. If you want to draw a cute girl with a good skin tone, you need to work hard."

By the way, Yanumuma Kazuyoshi also mocked the popular painters on the Internet today, "The works of the amateur painters who are very popular on the Internet and are called gods are equivalent to the works I drew when I returned to my hometown 30 years ago when I could not pay the rent. The emotional perception of the animation industry has been disrupted for 30 years."
