Anime generations?
Volusus:
Art is never about entertainment. I have no idea how you could think something like art, which is to do with essence of the most vertical and spiritual, has anything to do with something as subjective and mudane as 'entertainment.' The genius of someone like Debussy is not predicated on how well he is subjectively liked.
Schuon said it best when he claimed that modern art is forever lost because it is disconnected from the objective qualities of forms, colours and dispositions of the material used to create such art. It is aimed at the material, to represent the material, instead of looking toward the spiritual, the Divine, the Logos.

There is a good reasonable amount of stuff aimed towards teens, young adults and mature. Also, old stuff is old - you can compare the characters and the stories, but the music and graphics can't be compared. I really like the generations since 2009. They have been doing a hell of a better job on story telling and developing unique characters.[

Yes, because the art in renaissance was so much worse than in the dark ages. You know, that age triggered by the societal change to commerce, liberty and diminished cultural monopoly among nobility and church.

Art gives substance to inanity at best, all those nice words and concepts thrown around when talking about it are merely a smokescreen to make it seem headier and important. Art has the ability to elicit emotion which is already enough, imbuing it with mystic virtues is nonsense. One should not give too much value to philosopher's speak, as they're masters in cloud sculpting, abstraction and disconnection being common amongst them.
Your quote is about some guy who sees only the aesthetics of art, therefore completely missing the purpose. Trying to salvage an incomplete view with a nice wrapping of fancy words doesn't cut it. I would've have bought it a couple of years ago when I still gave credit to 'great thinkers', with time passing I started to see them for what they really are : posers in love with their own greatness and eloquency, on a crusade to bring enlightenment to the inferior masses because ... well, gives their ego a boost.
It's quite funny you mention Debussy, as he's been blasted by the guardians of the Holy Grail of Artistic Integrity in his lifetime for not adhering to the ruleset of traditional euphony.

Pretty much, sex will always sell. Even now I still pick up an old anime and I'm loving it. ecchi shows aimed at teenagers, with the main male lead being a masturbating virgin is all i see.
