>anime on my tv reeeeeewhy were animes from the 80s and 90s really conceptionally cool and why aren't they that cool anymore?>cowboy bebopcool>outlaw starcool>ghost in the shellcool>akiracool>g gundamcool>yuyu hakashucool>Princess Mononoke cool>pre anime gen 1 pokemon lorecoolis it just the same>we had to dumb it down for global audiences thing that has killed western films because studios need to be able to market the shows and films globally to make money?maybe I'm wrong but I feel like a lot of japanese stuff in the 80s and 90s was more routed in japanese culture like inuyasha or the tech boom in tokyo and hong kong
You were 5
>>282889313nah, they still hold up and they have cooler hooks/concepts than modern anime
>>282889226I could almost believe you believed this, but fucking Pokemon? This is purely nostalgia and you're stupid faggot.
>>282889449the pre anime stuff where it's actually in japan and pokemans are new and they captured mew in brazil and cloned him is cool. they started getting rid of the cool shit while making the anime and it was basically all gone after gen 2. conceptually it's cool, it's the main director guy's childhood in a rapidly changing post war japan during the economic boom where a lot of it got rapidly industrialized
>>282889484Conceptually you are stupid, cloning mew is the only cool sci fi aspect of the first gen, if we judge the rest of the franchise by the same fucking criteria then gen 4 and gen 5 are the gems of cool shit in the franchise.. your take is nostalgia baitdigimon 00’s >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> pokemon 90’s
>>282889226Watch more anime.
>>282889226I don’t trust any guy who believes outlaw star aged good
>>282889683you are a gay retard. gen 1 pokemon stuff was born out of the same change going on in japan during the economic miracle that made akira. the main difference is the akira guy is 10 years older (though still born after WWII) so he had more of an anti previous government thing and pro current government where as the pokemon guy was more about growing up in the boomeither way, you are a faggot and a retard
>all lowercase toonamifag "animes" faggot
>>282890057>all this yapping to say nothin
>>282890108not my fault you can't read>>282890093zoom zoom zoom you zoomer faggot
>all lowercase oomerposter that has seen 20 anime total is boiling because everyone can see his thread is garbageLUHMOW
>>282889226Because anime is no longer made by people with life experiences and who lived in an interesting society. It's made by socially retarded manchildren who only know anime and video games, and who grew up in a a world that is basically a padded kindergarten.It's also not exclusive to anime. Pretty much all forms of entertainment suffer from this. Everything is sanitized and immature, and feels like it's made by a committee of manchildren, radical feminists and wine aunts. The only exceptions are the ones that go in the complete opposite direction. It's still made by manchildren, but it's excessively edgy and violent, while still being ridiculously immature and cringeworthy.
>>282889683>>282889484What the fuck is wrong with you two faggots? Why are you talking about shows made for 6 year olds?
>>282890363>this meme again
>>282890267You said nothing interesting to read to make gen1 an conceptual interesting work lol
>>282890281you write all lowecase too, queer. eat shit>>282890387I'm not really talking about the show. more like the comic and original game concept to point out the culture in which a lot of these things were made
>>282890363good post>>282890411the fact that it's japan some time between the late 70s and early 90s and pokemon only just arrived on the scene maybe a generation ago is pretty interesting. you can also see japan rapidly industrializing with woods and small towns like pallet town but also a huge power plant getting built
>>282889226Almost all the works you mention have one thing in common: a great male protagonist.Current anime is entirely made to appeal to fujos and waifufags, which makes cool male characters nonexistent.
>>282889226Because they weren't greenlighting the kind of retarded shit we're getting now
>>282889226>let's just cherry-pick anime from 3 different time peroids, including the OVAs funded by the goverment to promote anime worldwide(You) are fucking retard OP
>>282891473there's less than a 10 year gap from the first to last anime on that list you gay retard
>>282890499Too much yapping for only context, that doesnt make gen 1 intrresting
>>282890363>It's made by socially retarded manchildren>who grew up in a a world that is basically a padded kindergarten.But enough about Hayao Miyazaki
>animes
>>282889226Big eared elf is better than all of those
>>282889226Cool series never stopped being made.You just no longer had a for-profit entity curating the good stuff for you.This is what toonami kids desperately need to understand.
>>282889226>this thread againGood anime is still being made (though maybe not if your standard of "good" is "has guns and explosions and other things that appealed to me when I was 8", but even then you could probably still find that) and you have nostalgia goggles and the benefit of hindsight to be able to filter out content produced over multiple decades into a single post, you just wanted to be a disingenuous faggot and complain on /a/ about "muh manly manime for cool adults like me doesn't exist anymore" in the hope that some anon will give you recommendations (it won't work)
>>282894763>when I was 8"Damn son I hope you got taller
>>282889226Ok
>>282889226tldr
>>282889226Japan was experiencing it's golden age of growth. Now it's in decline. Cultures in growth and abundance are creative and ambutious, cultures in decline are conservative and safe. Add to that digitization of art, absolutely butchering the anime aesthetic.Everything you said is true btw and everyone that's denying it is just not as well read or has dogshit taste.
>>282889226BTW I hear animation Industry is a pretty bad workplace environment. If that's the case it's possible smart creative people just choose a different path of life so all you get are idiots and midwits that got memed into it.
Post 2000s has Gurren Lagann and Hellsing Ultimate.
>>282889226>cowboy bebopCream of the crop but was also years old when broadcast in the west>>outlaw starCowboy Bebop adjacent>ghost in the shellMovie>>akiraMovie>g gundamThey did Wing first and when it hit they went for the even older one>>yuyu hakashuOld>Princess Mononoke Movie>pre anime gen 1 pokemon loreYou say this but don't give a fuck about Ace Attorney doing it.Point is, it was all less popular with less airtime so Toonami was picking and choosing the top across TV, OVA's and movies (shit that was never broadcast originally), and now you have access to everything. There's plenty of trash in the 80s/90s you've never heard of because they were trash.
>>282892370zoom zoom zoom zoomyou've only played the sanitized lore >>282893305how else would you make it plural?
>>282893195you forgot>war bad>America bad>muh dad didn't do nothin (except help build and design the zeroes used in pearl harbor and the subjugation of the rest of asia) >>282893474nah
>>282894419>>282894763all the current anime is computer made isikai sloppa that sucks and only men who wear dresses enjoy
>>282902528>>282902715good post>>282901632yeah it's plural
>>282902995Gurren Lagann is probably the only good anime after the early 2000s and even then that's mostly because Gurran Lagann examined gundam and eve and was like, actually gundam and super robots are dank as fuck and depression is gayit's like comparing Kingdom Come to the pretty stagnant edgy 90s environment it was in >>282903121even random shit like patlabor or wind called amnesia looks cooler than modern isakei sloppa
