Re: What do you think about anime?
Artistically.. it depends. There are anime/manga artists who regularly wow me, and there are some who are just blah, just as with any style. The major problem is that many people who start out trying to draw in an anime style (even more than those who pursue other styles) ignore the basics - learning human anatomy, proportions, perspective, all that, and no matter WHAT style you use, not paying attention to those will make it look crappy.
And yeah, even amoung the pros who do know all that stuff, there is still a lot of rubbish art. Still, there's a lot of fine artists whose work I scoff at just as much, and they don't even have the redeeming quality of humour, wit or characterization.
