See Miyazaki’s comments on the subject:
>Miyazaki's specific concerns are over the lack of attention paid to people in real life. He said people in the industry "don't spend time watching real people" and can be characterized as "humans who can't stand looking at other humans." He then called the industry "full of otaku."
>Miyazaki approaches animation by observing others. In the interview, as Miyazaki sketches, he explains he's able to create art because he spends time watching others. "Whether you can draw like this or not, being able to think up this kind of design, depends on whether or not you can say to yourself, 'Oh, yeah, girls like this exist in real life.'"

The first generation of anime artists, while heavily influenced by western styles, also studied from life. By the early 2000s there were many people who totally sidestepped the latter, erroneously thinking that you could draw in that style without any reference to reality. Anime went from a process to a formula.

What exactly made 2000s anime art styles so weird and deformed compared to modern and pre-digital ones?
