The idea that anime was better in the 80s, than it was in the 2000s is one I cannot take seriously. Think about it, people who say 80s anime is better than 2000s anime can only list the same 20-30 titles. Half of them are bad(Dragonball, Hokuto no Ken etc). Or list movies like Akira. Or short ovas like MD Geist. The amount of anime in the 2000s are much better. Proof?Kaleido Star, Gaogaigar Final, Twelve Kingdoms, Birdy Decode, Ef, Spice and Wolf, Azumanga Daioh, Pani Poni Dash, Aria, Haruhi, Rahxephon, Zegapain, Godannar, New Getter Robo, Koutetsushin Jeeg, Geass, Gurren Lagann, Ouran, Mononoke, Aoi Bungaku, Monster, Toradora, Haibane Renmei, Black Lagoon, Higurashi, Gungrave, Gankutsou, Speed Grapher, Solty Rei, Kemono no Souja Eren, Redline, Summer Wars, The Girl Who Leapt Through Time, Tokyo Godfathers, Akagi, School Rumble, Honey and Clover, Full Metal Panic, Kaiji, Dennou Coil, Seto no Hanayome, Lucky Star, Black Lagoon, Planetes, Darker Than Black, Sugar Sugar Rune, Nanoha, Precure(all of them), Gunslinger Girl, FLCL, Samurai Champloo, GITS SAC, Gundam 00, Hale +Guu, Baccano!, Detroit Metal City, Mazinkaiser/Shin Mazinger etc etc etc. Whereas you can only name a small list of movies, ovas battle shonen, rumiko shows for 80s titles. Maybe a few good mecha ones. That's about it. I can already predict responses, Voltoms, Macross, Zeta Gundam, Cobra! Gunbuster! its all the same small list of shows that were good from the 80s lol
>>288907330Well, yeah.Time filters out the bad ones, and thereby making the past seem rosier than it actually isAlso, >no Galaxy Angel>no Angelic Layer
>>288907330Disclaimer that I think trying to measure the quality of decades against each other is a fool's errand. It depends a lot on the terms of conversation. For starters, there simply wasn't as much TV anime back then because there weren't as many channels, let alone timeslots, and the concept of late night anime didn't exist yet. If you talk about ratios or "per capita", it paints a very different picture. Additionally, shows ran much longer on average: 4 cours whereas most shows in the '00s were 1 or 2, so by focusing on quality runtime rather than titles, you can get a better sense of industry output. It's not worth the trouble to scrutinize your entire list, but you listed a bunch of OVAs and movies, so you have no position to complain about those, and there are several bad shows just in your first line. Either you were padding a lot or your taste clearly isn't trustworthy, but if you list the 30 '80s titles you have in mind, I'll give you more to check out.>Half of them are bad(Dragonball, Hokuto no Ken etc)And MD Geist isn't? lmao
What's the point of this thread? Are you trying to hit filters for easy (You)s, because it has no substance.
>>288908278I know right?This thread does not have a specific anime in mind. Vague threads cannot be mined for data. Fun is not allowed. Fuck OP.
>>288908278No, I'm asking for people to prove me wrong. If people start listing their top 5 80s anime, it will mostly be a small group of anime, 20-30 of them, half of them being bad. You will see Gunbuster, Macross, Cobra, Akira, Zeta Gundam as half the choices.
