You're me, from years ago, before my producer friend asked: "Why animation?"

If anime succeeds just on the strength of its writing alone, without growing as an audio-visual form of storytelling, then something is seriously wrong with the industry that creates it.

What is the point of a brilliantly written graphic novel that is presented as pages and pages of crudely drawn stick figures? Can it even still be called a "graphic" novel?

What is the point of brilliantly written plot and dialogue, if they didn't help the anime flourish as animation?
And here we go again, we're turning around in circles
At no point has Triple R stated that animation doesn't matter, at no point as he said that he has no interest in looking at visuals.

You're arguing vs nobody here
