How can anyone go back to watching current anime after watching 80s or 90s anime? It feels like a different medium.

>>288400229
If you're talking purely visual, I agree, overall I like how girls tended to be drawn back then. Though Marin gives me a raging permaboner. Narrative themes and story structure? Also feel older gooder, there was less of an insistence on and adherence to tropes.

The point is that those threads are blatant generals that the mods sanction for reasons, threads like these are actual threads talking about specific things. These are not shitpost threads, there is much potential for discussion on how lazy and tropey modern anime has become. Like the OP said, it may as well be night and day.
>>
>>288400636
Yeah, I complain about the visuals, but the characterization and storytelling has changed a lot as well. Watching an old anime is like watching something new; sure, there are recognizable patterns, but not everything is strictly calculated to appeal to a certain type of audience like it is now, or at least it doesn't feel that way. It seems like artists back then were just trying to have some fun instead of strictly copying what someone else had done before.

I still say NGE ruined the industry, as much as I liked the show. Everyone wanted a piece of that ass after seeing how much money the IP was making and started trying to emulate aspects of it above just telling stories and using characters of their own. Or rather, anime otaku phased out older anime and companies started trying to pander to them above all other considerations.

They don't even like it. Most of the old anime back then was not translated. Most old anime retro fags have seen less than 100 anime throughout the decades. Far less actually.
>>
>>288400229
I think the biggest difference between old anime and today's anime is that when I see a girl in old anime, I think, “Hey, I want this girl to be my wife”, but when I see a contemporary anime girl it’s more like, “Oh, another bitch who thinks she’s too good for anyone else”.

I know EVA was a big hit, but I never thought it would be big enough to change the entire industry; It makes sense, though, because anime quality has been declining since the 2000s. It remained reasonably decent until the early to mid-2010s, but it’s been going completely downhill since then.

That's a huge point for me, girls in older anime were overwhelmingly allowed to honestly love whomever they were pining for. Anything romance these days is heavily regulated and not allowed to show natural progression until rushing everything at the very end of the story, if at all. Anime girls acting like real (sensible) women in love is kryptonite to the otaku paypigs that these companies and artists pander to.
>>
>>288401419
Love Hina author has accepted the blame for starting the trend of harem slop where it's a bunch of horny bitches abusing the weakling main character, but his main love interest is a cold hearted tsundere who pretends to hate him but finally loves him in the end

Most think Asuka from Eva was the original spawn of tsundere characters, but her feelings of disgust and contempt towards Shinji were genuine, so she's more of a proto tsundere

>Anime girls acting like real (sensible) women in love is kryptonite to the otaku paypigs that these companies and artists pander to
t's weird, because you'd think otaku would prefer more straightforward girls and more assertive MCs, because of insecurity and stuff, but they have no problem sticking to a teasing bitch and a lame male for hundreds of chapters,

Something to keep in mind about orientals is that they are massive conformists

God, I remember draining gallons to the Love Hina girls before I actually tried reading/watching it, I was so disappointed to realize how awful Naru was. Funny thing is I actually appreciate Asuka as a character more because her shittiness is believable and dysfunctional teenage battle mech pilots are a core part of the story. Naru doesn't have anywhere near the justification Asuka does and just comes off as infuriating.

I think the 90s had the best artistic balance, because you could have cute girls with big eyes or ''moe'' who still had detailed facial features and a sense of depth. That's the biggest difference from modern anime, which just feels like cartoon network shows, only with a bit more stylization.

Nah, I can watch any old series and feel the same way I did when I was a kid, but when I watch any recent anime, it’s just a total letdown. When it’s not pretentious crap, it’s downright pathetic. Very, very few shows these days feel like they’re made to be genuinely enjoyed, rather than being formulaic crap designed to appeal to the widest possible audience.
>you don't watch anime, old or new
Oh, are we just making stuff up now? Well, then I say you're a seething retard!
>80s and 90s are objectively the worst decades in anime history
Only if you want to be a contrarian. Things like characterization and storytelling were objectively better back then, not to mention the visuals, which, as I said in the OP, look like they’re from a different medium.

And no, things weren't anywhere near as strict in appeal as they were before the turn of the century. Sure, things were guided by tropes, stories always have been and Japanese media has always paid more heed to that than Western media in general, but modern anime is risk averse to a fault. They're not telling actual stories, they're appealing to tropes and archetypes above everything else so they can sell merch.

I don't know how anyone who's actually watched anime from any other time period beyond the present could even say something like this, there's a clear difference in how risk-averse and trope-centric anime is now compared to stuff before the turn of the century. Authors used to tend toward actually depicting characters as proper human beings and not as walking tropes, for starters, these days that's a rarity and a sign that something probably isn't coming out of Japan. The publishing companies have far too much of a stranglehold over everything, a lot of parallels to the modern video game industry in comparison to how it was in the 2000s on back.

Kek, current anime is so soulless that even a cartoon that gets mocked for its low budget doesn't look that bad in comparison. Back then, even the most mediocre anime you could think of would wipe the floor with any cartoon in both, aesthetics and animation.

>Zenki

It´s been a long time since i read that name... damn, now my back hurts all of a sudden.

>>288400229

Look anon things are what they are. Personally i loved it when authors could experiment and take risk with more mature stories and styles and we would get stuff like Tenshi no tamago or Memories but exceptional anime has always been just that, exceptions. That was true then and it´s true now. Occasionally we de get something good even if certain things seem to be just gone...

Unfortunately as any other cultural industry productions need to be profitable to stay afloat and in order to do that they need to consistently aim for mass appeal rather than take risks. This means there is little room for experimentation and exceptions. New authors just don´t get the same opportunities the old ones had and the old ones are on their way out... We live in dehumanizing times on which profits are everything. Still, sometimes something different comes along. Just learn to appreciate that or you know, become the change you want to see in the world. Drop everything and become a mangaka and see how things are for yourself.

Kind of like how most adaptions in the 90s were heavily watered down compared to their source material. Maze fucking had a short OVA special where the characters broke the forth wall and had to explain that they were all fucking off screen and how the cute loli was actually a futanari and the cute tomboy was an unironic tranny, but they couldn't show or adapt that stuff on television in the 90s and it was all light novel stuff.

Since we're now LARPing that anime was somehow more uncensored and unrestrained in the past, the reason why OVAs were so wild was because of how draconian and authoritarian TV broadcasting standards were, especially in the early 90s when the mainstream was trying to distance itself from otaku over the lolicon killer incident.

People overstate Evangelion's influence but Evangelion's success is what brought otaku anime back to the mainstream and led to the golden age between 1995-2012.

The reason OVAs died was because you generally could show a lot of the stuff you could in OVAs in late-night TV anime now, and the few things you still couldn't like hardcore porn/extreme ecchi was such a niche that hentai and ecchi ovas still continued into the 2000s.

>b-but my hyperviolence is gone
I'm against the Westernization of anime but with streaming services and some anime premiering directly on Western streaming services, there's been an uptick in 90s hyperviolence in modern anime again. It's not that modern Japanese animators can't do these things, if you give them an outlet they start doing these things again.

The reason why BDs stopped showing nipples is because BDs were dying and there's less of an incentive to include fanservice. Plus even when BDs did show nipples there were still plenty of anime that didn't uncensor their BDs.

A lot of the studios that used to decensor their BDs function like this now
>the Japanese TV broadcast is censored
>the version they give to Crunchyroll or Amazon to air in the West is uncensored
And usually that uncensored version is the physical release.

Most anime gore regardless of era is comedic honestly.

50 years of anime and it's all the same and 50 years later, people are still in denial and still fear the occasional series where something happens.

Kek, you're such a dishonest and bitter faggot. You know I'm right, but you still go out of your way to look for extreme examples of series that are barely digitized, just to try to prove your point. There's no doubt why you defend modern anime so much. You're exactly the kind of bitch the industry panders to these days.

I wonder if current anime has less budget or time to work. Or they move the budget to other stuff like VAs because they are more expensive now.

That's not how reality works, tranny. But even if you want to pretend you don't agree with me, you know I'm right, otherwise you wouldn't be trying so hard to contradict me with ridiculous examples and samefagging.

>>288404800
It definitely has less budget than old OVAs/Movies that resources from the Japanese economic boom, but part of it is also that modern anime tries much more to stay on model all the time. A lot of older anime had obvious "low quality and high quality" versions of the characters, even in movies, although obviously it was much more noticeable on tv. Meanwhile modern anime generally tries to stay much more consistent,

>>288404803
Who's trying to be an elitist kek? I'm just telling the truth, anime used to be more masculine in the past, which doesn't mean there wasn't feminine anime, but a dishonest, seething fag like you can't rationalize those facts.

This is less about opinion and more about objective facts. You're literally wrong and this fact is obvious to anybody who actually enjoys anime for being anime.
You don't like older anime, you're obsessed with an aesthetic and how people perceive you, hence why you spam these garbage threads every fucking day and literally cannot actually discuss anime besides surface level wiki articles.

You're a textbook poser who's "views" fall apart in the eyes of anybody who actually engages with the medium beyond posturing.

You can like both you retarded faggot. It's less that people are making fun of manime and more like people are making fun of the fucking assertion that anime used to be extremely masculine. The extremely buff, muscular stoic protagonist was mostly a manga trend, very few of this stuff actually got adapted and the ones that did were usually outliers in seasons full of toddler's shows, comedies, and bishoujo shows.

Just look at the season Hokuto no Ken aired and the designs look ridiculously overblown compared to the stuff it was airing alongside with, like pic related.

Looking at the season. I've never heard ANY western fan talk about any of these titles. Not one. Not sure who watched that dog detective show. I'm assuming it was more of a european hit which explains why it isnt completely dead. But westerners did not watch most of this stuff.

First, watch Burn Up Warrior. It's a 4-part OVA series, some of the best stuff from the '90s, and make sure to watch the uncensored version.
The Excess series that came out later is more run-of-the-mill.

Imagine only being able to watch anime from certain eras. Everyone can watch older anime, so it's not like watching old anime is some gold star or whatever you think it might be. But being obsessed with it and unable to watch anything new just makes you seem retarded.
>>288400665
Making a dozen threads a day about how much better old anime is than current anime isn't "discussing" old anime. You have a problem if you're unable to talk about something you supposedly enjoy without comparing it to other stuff.

>>288404097
The issue with manime tards is that they're were often highly correlated with toonamitards. These people were the original normalfags. I prefer older anime but toonamifags are just obsessed with the most basic shit like Cowboy Bebop

the best 80s/90s animes were mostly OVAs with 5 to 8 episodes. and those are few and far between.

also mostly recorded onto crappy VHS or 240p MPEG2 videos on VCDs back in the day. hardly any of the them were released/re-released on DVD or Laser Discs, and even then, they didn't look as "clean" as current year 720p animes.

Calvin n Hobbes the Demonslayer didn't get an almost "full" anime adaptation until 2015 and 2016.

previously a 10 ep OVA in 1992.

It is noticeable when they're able to go all out with gore and stuff. That anime about liking big girls this season (don't know if it's streaming only or on TV too censored to whatever extent) is literal hentai with nipples and penetration from what I've seen in its threads. What is censored seems way too random to be any sort of hard rule anyone is required to follow.

There's loads of 90s anime adaptions that didn't include the nipples from the manga.

The later 1990s were a special time. Ironically that weird style then gave and we went back to pretty cool styles around 2000, but it was at a point when cel animation just died.

And first half of 1990s had a different vibes and styles too.

really? I checked out of /co/slop midway through adventure time as it was airing.

My understanding of the ABSOLUTE STATE in western animation is they are just rebooting/continuing everything or pushing weird calarts OCs... ALL of which are obsessed with butts, farts and body horror in order to groom more kids for the island via brainrot.

More independent stuff and Klaus does give me hope.
