He is unfortunately 100% correct, anime is 90% stuck in an echo chamber of anime inspired by another inspired by anime.

Oh miyazaki got a point. He meant that you need to study all kinds and forms of art. Theatre, movies outside your fav genre, listen to classical music, travel and go outside, observe the people around you (as an introvert it is hard). But it does broaden your ideas and horizon

this is why anime in 80s and 90s has more difference in storyline and plot. now it feels like we are watching the same aura farming over and over

It's not just anime it's movies TV shows and music. People today have a literacy problem. They also have a problem with deep literary comprehension and adequate attention span. And it's killing every industry.

If you're only studying anime and fail to acknowledge the inspiration and the references behind it, you're not studying properly

You can tell who watches anime for the art and who watches it for the trend in this comment section.

Not just anime, all art! I tell students in college that they need to understand all forms of art and shouldn’t be limiting themselves to just things they like. You need to have an understanding of all art, even stuff you hate!

It’s always “we studied white people before we made something that has absolutely nothing to do with them.” Like I be wondering if they hear themselves sometimes.
