My random thoughts
I was just thinking, I mean I love anime as much as the next person and I thik there are some great animes that are newer but if you think about it the art hasn't really progressed much overall.
I suppose that is one of the dangers of an art reliant so heavily on conventions, that is what gives it it's charm and to an extent the artists skill lies in his/her ability to manipulate those conventions. However I think it would behove us as the artists of the future to take note of the direction, or if I may say lack thereof, of anime as a whole. Perhaps it is time to put a bit more focus on development adn originality. Although admittedly, it is one of those balances that are very difficult to achieve as defying conventions could easily mean moving away from the very essence of the art itelf. It is a problem I don't have the answer to but it is good to think about
