>Shinichi "Nabeshin" Wantanabe: The anime that are often said to be “good anime” is oftentimes serious and moving and they make you cry, those are the anime that people tend to say are “good”.
>if tears mean you're moved emotionally, I think laughter means the same thing.
>They're equal, I value laughter as much as tears.
Is he right, Yas Forums?

Happiness can be a strong emotion. Remember the German Forklift Safety Video? You do because it was funny and thus emotionally touching and your brain stored it.

Neither are by themselves enough to make something great. Both can be shallow. Crying can be manipulated by sad music and crying characters, and laughter can be manipulated by having funny things happening. Both experiences are ultimately shallow and not enough to make a work good.

>Crying can be manipulated by sad music and crying characters.
That's more commonly praised than pure comedy, tho.

People laugh at fiction far more readily than they cry though. So not really.
I do agree in principle that creating joy is no less "worthy" than creating sadness though.

Then why does "sad" animated movies and anime get more praise? while comedy is look down upon as cheap and easy to make?
