      I reread the wikipedia page every year or so and it seems like solid future fantasy wrapped in terrible animation

      kirby & toth did concept work, gerber and evanier wrote - they were all really talented people - but the quality of american animation at the time was incredibly poor. not entirely sure why

      economics, I'm sure I don't know the exact details (federal regulations? lack of competition bc 3 channels? other?), but I'd wage $50 on that being the answer.

      sure, yes - but 60s animation seemed better? so, something changed, not sure what

      relatedly, i think these stylistic choices train our mainstream animators to make ugly crap for undiscriminating consumers, while the really talented people go into video game development where quality seems to be a much higher priority

      well, i'm not really familiar with the modern stuff, but it could be a question of different influences? artists in the 70s & 80s grew up looking at commercial art from an era focused more on photorealistic styles, even in newspaper strips.

      i noticed something related a few decades ago, when new comic artists entered the field. good or bad, they didn't seem to know shit about how to draw people - it seemed instead like manga and anime had become middlemen, distorting their perception of what people looked like.

      maybe some similar bad ("bad") influence got in the way of fantasy artists? METAL HURLANT, maybe?

          he absolutely is - a god among me. so were some others, but a bunch weren't, and second-gen copies of their styles, while "cool" might not have the right "feel" for our generation of fantasy readers?
