Anime is shit, stop watching anime.

Anime is garbage. Why?

Because Anime is art. All art is garbage.

Appreciating art is the biggest ego-stroke you can possibly do. It's all about YOU and YOUR pleasure consuming media. Media that takes you out of your own shitty reality.

I look down on people who enjoy art, anime, manga, video games, movies, comic books. It's honestly pathetic. Do you seriously have nothing better to work towards in your free time? What about appreciating a nice sunset?
You are ADDICTED to art. Because you are SCARED of reality.

Art is all about aesthetics. There actually isn't any substance. Manchildren will say One Piece is "kino" but it's just an empty story for empty people. Like all art.
I actually haven't watched anime in awhile because reading manga is just so much faster...

:choppawhat:

I am just curious, why do you have this opinion?

Human beings have been doing Art since the beginning of mankind.

Art can give meaning to people's lives.

Art education transforms the life of children.

Art can even heal.

What are your experiences with art?

Ever been to a museum?
"Human beings have been doing Art since the beginning of mankind."
Not true. Cavemen were focused only on surviving. Them drawing shit on the walls isn't "art" it was a form of communication for survival. Totally different than the ego-driven art we see nowadays. Even stuff like the bible you can argue isn't exactly "art" for the same reason. You can view it as a tool. (I don't of course).

"Art can give meaning to people's lives."
How so? You are assuming a lot of things here. Like "meaning" being an actual thing. etc.

"Art education transforms the life of children."
Art ruins childrens. It plants fantasies in their mind. For instance, a movie about a genius kid being born to 2 underwhelming parents. This doesn't actually happen in reality basically ever. It's impossible.

"Art can even heal."
No it cannot lol. It can maybe band-aid a feeling and take your mind away from your shitty reality, but that's not healing.

"What are your experiences with art?

I have watched lots of anime like many people here. Read even more manga, web novels, etc. I basically sat and "appreciated" art for 10+ years. I see now, it was all a total waste of time.

Museums are money laundering tools. It also is an opportunity for a government to propagandize their people. "This french person was such a good artist, so live in France and pay taxes here, even though Switzerland has a better quality of life."

Agree with the last part.. Art presentation and business is quite dubious

Ok.

I just think we have different opinions.

I work as an art teacher.

So art is really importante to me and my students.

But it looks like you consider it a waste of time.

Problably we have different understandings of it and it is totally fine.

Agreeing to disagree is not a fair compromise. As expected of an artist, you're more concerned about aesthetics and not looking silly rather than being right.
