You Need a Staff to Make Anime and Animation, Which is Why I Wouldn't Even Bother CALLING It "Real Art"

Art is made by Individuals and NOT COMMITTEES

I REPEAT

Art is made by individuals, NOT COMMITTEES!

Anime and Animation is about as "creative and artistic" as a factory made candy bar or automobile.

Which is to say not really at all.

TEAMWORK isn't art. It's just teamwork.

If no one person can claim authorship of it, it ISN'T ART.

Don't be fooled by the hype and slick Asian marketing.

Art is only art if it's all on the page. Art is only art if it has the fingerprint and soul of ONE artist on it, and ONE ARTIST ONLY!

KATSUHIRO OTOMO is one of the most real and authentic artists in animation and comics
because he DOES DRAW ALL THE DETAILS HIMSELF AND EVERYTHING ON HIS OWN
just like his influence MOEBIUS did. They're good examples of REAL artists.
