Miyazaki: Young anime artists who only study anime are 'spinning wheels'
threepointone · x · 2026-11-09
Via Roland Kelts, author of 'Japanamerica', Hayao Miyazaki criticized young anime artists: "The only thing they study is anime. We studied French literature, impressionism, Dostoevsky... we swallowed everything and then created original anime. If all you watch is anime, you're just regurgitating spinning wheels." He also discussed the upcoming documentary 'Tezuka! God of Manga'. The quote is widely cited in AI circles as an analogy for models and creators trained on homogeneous data.
