Towards the Automatic Anime Characters Creation with Generative Adversarial Networks

Pretty much everything about this paper is either hilarious or technologically fairly cutting edge. I particularly enjoyed the selection of images based on "cuteness".

Possible snark aside, it's neat that people are willing to just do this even though it's not necessarily "scientifically vauable".

So how many years before we can have a background task constantly going on our computers that generates passable anime at a rate of 1 episode/week?

Come on wierd, you've seen the dreck that somehow remains popular despite all common sense pointing otherwise. An AI that manages to replicate a passable style and adheres to weeaboo cliches (fan service, imouto, power fantasy, isekai, etc) could easily overtake the anime industry overnight.

Or at least consign it to producing things the AI couldn't.

Which, uh. Mission accomplished?

Not all anime is "SO HAWT WAIFU LOLIS!", or "Check his power level-- OVER 9000!?" in nature.

Some are actually more animated drama rather than that kind of dreck.


Also--

This Kodak nylon 3D printer filament IS FUCKING AMAZING.  I love it so much!!

I get embarrassed that I watch anime, but then, both my male and female co-workers were sitting around and it turns out they all watch the latest Temptation Island-tier reality shows.

Not all anime is "SO HAWT WAIFU LOLIS!", or "Check his power level-- OVER 9000!?" in nature.

I think most people are aware of that. Note how I used to do a thing in the anime thread comparing the nytimes top-10 manga vs the Japanese top-10 manga each week, and you could see the obvious difference. The top-selling ones in America are always the booby waifus and the "power level over 9000!" ones, while the top-selling ones in Japan include the drama ones and diverse types. There are "giant boob" mangas that don't even make it into the weekly top 50 mangas in Japan, yet they somehow hit #1 on the manga sales charts in the USA. (I stopped doing the comparison only because the stopped publishing the weekly nytimes top 10 manga list, but you can see som of the same data on wikipedia).

The West is in fact a big contributor to that issue. Most of the pervy stuff that's well-known to every Western fan is incredibly niche and underground to most Japanese people, including general Japanese anime fans.

Agreed. We need to refine genetic engineering so the weird tentacles and giant eyes don't need to be CGI'ed in. Then it will be an improvement.
