As some of the others have said, I got into anime
because of the way it tells a story and the
artistry. Just because something is done in CG
does not mean it is any less beautiful than cel
animated series. Look at Spirited Away for a good
example of this. This movie was almost all CG,
and I think it looked better than anything
Miyazaki has done in the past. If it wasn't for
CG, Miyazaki may never have made this picture.
The reason he was conteplating retiring was all
the work he puts into his movies. Now, with CG,
his workload is decreased and his vision still
comes across on the screen. Plus, with the advent
of CG, my cels will become that much more
precious to me and others. One of the reasons I
got into cel collecting was to preserve this
particular way of telling a story and display it
for others to see. Thanks to people like us,
these images will be displayed and passed around
for generations to come. Otherwise, these cels
would be rotting away in a box in some warehouse
getting moldy. |
