I am disabling comments cuz I don't like arguing with people, it makes me very angry (yes I have probably have anger problems >.< )
I'll just give what I want to say here, and if you disagree, that's fine, but I dont' want to hear it.
art n. the quality, production, expression, or realm, according to aesthetic principles, of what is beautiful, appealing, or of more than ordinary significance.
My definition: Anything where the creator had the intention of it being so.
Anime is art. And I don't care if you think the fans are annoying, then complain about them, not the style itself. Art is very important to me and to other anime artists. Anime is not a singular style but a genre of styles. There are so many differences between different anime that if you put characters from one show (or manga) in another it would look very strange and misplaced. Anime is not a simple or easy style. It takes a lot of pratice and it also takes a lot of skill since it is coming from your own thoughts rather than reference. Anime shows are not stupid either. Some are, of course, but that goes for all things. Anime has many genres and many stories and though some are similar, there are some that are very original, as with everything. Anime is not copying someones style, because as I said before, it is not one singular style. I've seen anime that are very cartoony, almost old disney cartoony and anime that is very close to realism. People need to shutup and leave anime and anime artists alone. There's usually a reason something is popular and anime is fun to draw and beautiful as well. And it is NOT the most common art form on DA so don't say "it's everywhere" because it's not unless you're looking for it.
This stamp is not about fanart but anime art in general.
I think I've said all things that need to be said.
