Little something + Discussion about animation?

[KrayZ33]

That's a weak argument imho. Even if it's the truth - but that doesn't really explain why they are in that situation in the first place.

Neither are shows filled with 20 minutes of high movement/action, nor does it have to feature 20 minutes of top notch quality animation. On top of that, how come even the background is affected most of the time, even though you could certainly use a background for more than just a small amount of frames.

The typical show (as in, the majority of a season) however doesn't feature anything but "low effort/low budget" animation. (if you compare it to stuff like Violet Evergarden for example). Skipping frames isn't even remotely as bad as simply not animating movement by using recoloured manga pages.

I'd say it's also a budget question, but I wonder, why is the standard for anime so low... considering how expensive that shit is (for the consumer) and how much money is involved in the market. If anime is used as advertisement for other products related to the franchise, it makes even less sense.

I'm reading that the anime market has gained a lot in recent years, studios are booked until 2020+ etc.
I can't help but blame the consumer if they are fine with this shit.
Would they demand better quality, they'd get it. But on the other hand, top quality shows actually make a lot of money too.
So maybe studios are basically just putting up/filling holes with shitty low effort stuff because consumer will eat it anyway and the margin/revenue is a lot higher on non "AAA-Animes"?.

However, the low effort stuff doesn't seem to sell in the west either
