Have you noticed the culture/material shift from the 80s anime/manga compared to today ?

@mangeurdenuage @noyoushutthefuckupdad I'm not really well versed in anime/manga from that era, pretty much just anime from 10s to now

@coolboymew @noyoushutthefuckupdad Me neither, for the little I have seen the focus on Nippon culture/settings has been progressively migrating away to european settings. But maybe I'm wrong, after all fantasy sets be it in space or D&D fantasy have also been a thing in that time.
Not that it changes the enjoyability of the content so far, outside of isekai's flooding everywhere, but I'm just worried how far will it go, especially with the westerners wanting to introduce the fucking current year everywhere.

>has been progressively migrating away to european settings

Not sure where you're seeing this, especially with Isekais, although you can maybe argue that isekais and co are basically at this point 3+ generations of separation from it's actual LotR root by now with DnD > Ultima and co > Dragon Quest > all sorts of pseudo fantasy stuff > Today's isekai

There's always a bunch of anime about kingdoms and such. Even High Card had something of a fake "England-like" country like ACCA13 was (the country was much crazier here)

>Not sure where you're seeing this
Just an impression, as said I might be wrong, and you know much more about anime than me.

@mangeurdenuage @noyoushutthefuckupdad yeah, generic europe video game like or France/England old Kingdom settings are not dying anytime soon

@coolboymew @noyoushutthefuckupdad It's a shame we can't produce them in our own countries, I thought people were entertained by Nippon work because it was focused on Nippon settings.

@mangeurdenuage @noyoushutthefuckupdad I've mentioned this a bit in the podcast. From what I know from the French cartoon industry, it's way, way, way fucking better at actually promoting French work than the non-existent Canadian industry (which is practically dead now?) and the American industry who pretty much completely failed to capitalize on the 2000s newground culture (that's still ongoing, and they're still failing at it)

@coolboymew @noyoushutthefuckupdad I won't say that french animation is dead, according to someone who works in it we're one of the biggest producers of animation after japan and south Korea, but for some weird reason most people will say "what is this ?". And if you look at what is produced we do produce a lot but who tf watches them ?

@mangeurdenuage @coolboymew @noyoushutthefuckupdad the only thing i can think of when i hear the words "french animation" is this banger
