Mobile Suit Gundam creator Yoshiyuki Tomino has shared a somewhat depressing perspective on the future of anime as a whole.In an interview with Japanese outlet Toyokeizai, Tomino states that the anime boom has peaked, likely beginning its decline in five or six years. He offers several reasons but starts by saying that he is happy with the improvement in anime’s social status. He can now go to the tax office without being ridiculed for his work — a privilege he didn’t always have. According to the creator, anime’s decline is both natural and the fault of current developments; while the changing times and culture means things always go in and out of fashion, creativity is declining because anime production is too soft. Tomino highlights air-conditioned rooms and shifting to the less time-consuming digital animation styles as examples of how environments have taken creators away from the essence of their work, adding that this is also part of the reason for Disney’s purported creative decline.”Don’t be afraid to see the scene,” he continues. “For example, in the case of agriculture, climate, topography, and geology. Then there are the habits of the land. It is important to have a sense of how to maintain it based on its complex characteristics. If you only look at the numbers on the slip, it’s no good.” This similarly touches on Chainsaw Man creator Tatsuki Fujimoto’s comments on Miyazaki earlier this year, calling him a dying breed because he is one of the few creatives who ventures out into the world, bringing different cultures into his films.
