Is Anime Art

The following is a question and answer I placed for the description

Do you think anime is art? Why/why not?

of course anime is art, to be blunt, anime is an artistic movement that is centuries old based on art from Nippon, that like all movements has variations.

What do you think as beauty in Art?
Beauty in art is complex because, beauty is in the eye of the beholder.

- As a viewer, what is the first thing you look for in artwork?
first thing, i tend to find in art, not look for in art, but I read and view a lot of various art styles. One of the things about growing up in NYC as a kid, I was fortunate to have parents utilize the cities museums which cover all styles of art.

- As an artist, what do you value the most while creating?
spreading my imagination

Vaporwave

What do you find to be the most important or appealing part of vaporwave as an aesthetic or genre?
I am new to the genre. I never heard of it till now. In my mind without any experience in the genre. It reminds me of steampunk in a key way. It is a particular room in a larger genre, that being science fiction. Vaporwave is a similar particular room; that being 1980s to 1990s USA+ Western Europe+ JApan tech/music culture. Its appeal like any specific genre is its specificity. Some will want the 1980s 1990s tech media environment. China wasn't as potent. No Eurozone as it is comprehended today. The global existence of various wealthy individuals in each country didn't necessarily exist as it is today. Possibilities to make a different today , 2023, was possible. Those who are thinking on that , desiring that, want to communicate on that will find great appeal in this. Importance is a challenging question. All art is important in that it presents ideas. 
Why do you think people may have nostalgia for time periods they’ve never experienced?
In the same way like Steampunk in science fiction / Sword & Sorcery in Fantasy brings nostalgia or desire for late 1800s fictional versions of humanity or ancient fictional versions of humanity. It is simple to explain. Some people remember living a life around the trees or wish they lived a life around the trees and thus sword and sorcery speaks to that. Some people remember when certain technologies were nascent or being born or wish they had been around when certain technologies were nascent or being born and thus Steampunk speaks to that. Vaporwave speaks to people who remember or desire an era of industry in a part of humanity before the elements of modernity, 2023. No well formed global economy or a global rich. No well established internet. No great global migration shifts. This can be argued was a high point in usa cultural influence in humanity that coincided with a lot of various odd tech before a great technological boom of global interest.
What aesthetics would you like to see represented in an art feature like this one?
Aesthetic is a hard question. Cause Vaporwave is very specific in time or geography or aesthetics. I want to give some examples. When I look at a video game called 198X I played on nintendo switch. Or a animation called Shenmue the animation on adult swim. They clearly are in the Vaporwave genre. It will be interesting how 1980s-1990s media influences later craft.
