Hyderabad joins Ghibli art craze this Ramadan: Charminar becomes anime masterpiece
A new trend has emerged on social media, with people creating art in the distinctive style of Studio Ghibli, the renowned Japanese animation studio. The trend has caught on globally, with even Hyderabadis creating Ghibli-inspired depictions of the iconic Charminar during Ramadan. This surge in popularity is partly due to the availability of generative art tools that can transform photos into Ghibli-style artworks. While the trend has been embraced by many, it has also led to technical challenges, with the generative art tool ChatGPT experiencing outages due to overwhelming demand. The trend has also sparked a debate about the impact of generative art on the creative industry, with some artists arguing that it lacks the soul of traditional art and raises ethical concerns about the use of artists' works without their consent.11:49 AM Mar 31, 2025 IST
