I was already using Anilist, but now it's time to remove my MAL account I guess

Oh yeah, you're right. Generic fantasy and generic isekai have a lot of overlap, so sometimes they're the same thing to me

Interesting! How does it sort though? To take my anime community as an example, the lemmy.ml one has more subscribers, but ani.social has more posts and comments.

That sounds very finnicky, especially considering that there are similar communities across different instances. For example, there's an anime community on lemmy.ml, but also ani.social. The former is pretty dead, but the latter is pretty active. If it were to subscribe you to the one on lemmy.ml, because that's the bigger instance, that might not result in the best experience.

Ameku M.D. - I ended up dropping this and I don't think I am going to pick it back up.

Yeah, I wouldn't recommend it.

For this season, I watched:

• Dr. Stone Science Future: I'm disappointed. On paper, there are lots of fun and exciting moments, but the whole reason for why things are happening is so... vague and weak. It feels like conflict for the sake of conflict and that's puts a downer on everything for me. It makes me question why all good moments need to happen to begin with and any resolve to the conflict feels meaningless by extension.
• Apothecary Diaries: great. Just as good as season 1. Absolutely love it. Maomao is a joy.
• Overtime Guild Receptionist: such a disappointment. It had a fun concept, but it just turned into a generic fantasy anime with a gimmicky character trait. The serious plot felt very tacked on and didn't jive with the gimmick at all. The amazing animation of the OP is wasted on the show.
• Bureaucrat Villainess: I haven't seen the final ep yet, but I had a lot of fun with this one. Kenzaburo as Grace is so fun.
• Sakamoto Days: fine. Enjoyable enough. Fairly typical shounen.
• Ameku M.D.: meh, some fun parts but the latter part in particular became a bit of a drag. Also seemed to be a troubled production with how the quality declined episode by episode.
• Zenshuu: dropped after 4 and a half eps. I was immensely disappointed when it turned out to be an isekai and Natsuko's powers were just deus ex machinas. Particularly the isekai bait and switch like it's Madoka Magica really soured my opinion. I actually groaned when it did that. If it hadn't done that, maybe I wouldn't have been as disappointed and would've kept watching it.
• Welcome to Japan Miss Elf: just like the manga, I couldn't bring myself to care. Dropped it around the same moment I dropped the manga (sand monster thingy). The fantasy side of things just wasn't very interesting, even though it took up the majority of screen time.
• NEET Kunoichi: pretty much dropped from ep 1.

I still want to watch Flower and Asura, I Have A Crush at Work, Re:Zero and Orb.

Meanwhile, I'm rewatching RWBY from volume 1. I had dropped it at volume 5 when it came out, but was interested to see if I still liked it. Currently at volume 3. Volume 1 and 2 are still fun, albeit a bit cringy, but that has its charm. Not sure how much of that is nostagia talking though.

The same scale

The scale wouldn't be the same though. Big productions will still have way more resources available than fans. The discrepancy would much more likely remain largely the same.

but it'l have the same quality standard from the oiginal show,

That's a bold claim.There's no guarantee of that at all.

since ai can even recreate the voices, that's also a plus for the fans.

And also an ethical issue.

people that, just can't draw good, and don't want to go through the process of learning to draw who might have all the ideas in the world that never get utilized because they couldn't draw to standards, etc

Those aren't minorities. Drawing is, for the most part, a skill you can learn. If you don't want to put in the effort to learn to draw, then why would someone put time into watching what you prompted to an AI? Granted, the amount of effort is probably not the same for everyone, but the point still stands. Even the most talented ones put in hours of practice.

If you have a lot of ideas, there are tons of other roles you can fulfill in creative productions like scriptwriting, directing, producing and tons more. Animation productions don't just rely on people that can draw. If you want to help, help in the way you can with your own skills. That's more satisfying in the long run anyway. Why would you want a role that you didn't put effort into learning when there are people who did? That'd get boring pretty quickly.

Lets say you are someone who's made a comic, but you don't have the money to pay a big studio, and a bunch of voice actors to do your show. Ai lets you do the voices of the characters you created as you intended them as the creator of the comic in a smaller budget

In this hypothetical, why do you need to be on par with a big studio? What's the problem with starting small? What's the problem with asking amateur voice actors that aren't that expensive or might even do it for free? Many voice actors, animators etc get their start with small projects like that. Without those, they'll never even get the chance. AI generated projects only muddy the waters.

Things aren't perfect from the get-go and that's fine. That's kind of the point. You actually get to have a journey of growth. Maybe that won't give you instant gratification and you'll probably struggle along the way, but is that really a problem? Instant gratification will only last so long until you want more and more. Find out what you're good at and hone those skills. That's so much more satisfying.

Ah dat heb ik niet meegekregen

This issue i'm describing isn't about releasing more slop, it's about giving shows the chance that fans been saying they deserved since their cancellations.

The core issue here is companies not giving a shit. AI wouldn't change that. If WB, with all those resources, who could've continued TT any time they wanted, suddenly generated a new season of TT with AI, would you really be satisfied with that? If they didn't give a shit then, they won't give a shit now.

The original Teen titians ended at a cliff hanger, and if Warner bros isn't going to finish it, well, now the fans can easily with ai.

This would amount to nothing more than fan fiction though. Fans already have the means to do so without AI, and already do with fan comics, fan animation, fan games and fan novels. Sure not to the same scale, but that gap would remain. Having AI do it changes nothing here.

Because, like I already said, ai gives the animation medium new voices

Who though? What minorities are you speaking of? Again, nearly everyone can animate, as long as you put in the effort to get good at it. The exception of course are disabled people, but something tells me companies still wouldn't hire them even with AI.

Was wel aardig. Dat het formaat vrijwel hetzelfde is als op NPO doet het wel overkomen dat ze gewoon meer geld wilden haha. Ben benieuwd of hij nog zo kritisch kan blijven op RTL, dat afhankelijk is van reclame.

Dit is oprecht walgelijk

If maintained by the right people

That's a very big if

ai would actually reduce exploitation

In an ideal world maybe. In reality, I can only see it being used as a reason to pay animators even less or where animators become proof checkers. The real exploitation is animators not being paid enough, not the amount of time they put in. AI would not solve this.

Ai opens up animation to new voices, that wouldn't be able to animate

Like? People that don't want to put in the effort to get good? Unless you're disabled, anyone can animate. It just takes a lot of effort to get good at it. But if anyone puts in that effort that means you're passionate about it and they're precisely the kind of you want in animation.

This is almost starting to look like the Photoshop doomsday all over again.

Not remotely the same imo. One is a new tool that doesn't try to replace the creator and allowed creatives to not need very expensive tools and space in order to do something creative. The other does try to replace the creator in nearly every aspect.

If you support minorities having a chance at jobs, you should also support the potential for more animators having new opportunities to create animations.

What a weird equivalence. How does supporting minorities equate to supporting more AI-gen? It implies they wouldn't get the job without AI, which is much more problematic.

Ai also means you might actually get more content of a show made in an official means

I don't see how that's a good thing. Let's not milk existing IPs any more than we already do. It's just an opportunity for more slop.
