Do you believe the online nostalgia for 80s and 90s anime art styles will still be strong moving into the 2030s, or will it be entirely replaced by 2000s and 2010s nostalgia with us treating 80s and 90s anime like we treat 70s ones nowadays?
what the hell could you possibly be nostalgic for in regards to anime in the 2010s? madoka and one punch man? mob psycho? anything else? god forbid sword art
>>7961941Madoka will be remembered as a classic for sure.I know that everyone will shit on me for this but I think Re:Zero is genuinely a modern classic too and I can easily see people being nostalgic and remembering it as a great anime decades from now.
Yeah probably.Not that those are timeless classics but zoomers can't get jobs in the industries cultivating that nostalgia, you'll be seeing references to ghost in the shell until the last millennial finally retires in the 2040s because he's the one saying what gets referenced in comics or cartoons despite the rest of the crew trying to sneak chainsaw man or Frieren into every other shot.I think it's actually a huge problem, most of the drawfags I come across are in their mid-20s at best, you don't get random kids just drawing whatever anymore like in the Tumblr days. I haven't been looking for them much either, maybe they're in their own discord servers and I'm not enough of a pedophile to go check, but if I'm right this could lead to the death of the medium in a decade or two.
>>7961953A big part of it is they just moved to discord and tiktok and other walled garden apps, yeah. The public internet is dying, the era of little hobbyist forums and weird websites is over. Everything happens on the mega apps.
>>7961941It will definitely turn into nostalgia,even the worst anime. Simply because of how many people jumped on anime in the last few years and refuse to go back to anything that came out before covid. But tiktok will turn it into nostalgia with random clips
>>7961941redline was 2010 technically
>>7961939>anon thinks iconic art styles are passing trends
>>7961939And what would be that "2010's style"? that's when anime became low effort "loli" FUCKING TRASH. And that's why already TODAY the 80's and 90s "nostalgia" for awesome real anime is so trendy. You don't have to wait to "2030" it's already happening. The new Ghost in the shell is doing right now:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yedJOylFOtg
>>7961939With this belief in consideration, you will still not draw. But it will remain in the backburner of your mind just like so many Ideas before It. You will ruminate on this idea, feeling accomplished. 2040s will approach and you are still in Square One just like today in June 2026
>>7961939Nostalgia is not totally random, and the quality of artistic/cultural output is not equal across all times and places. Sometimes certain cultural eras are just objectively better, and those are the ones that tend to be remembered.People love and remember Renaissance painting because it was great. They don't care at all about dark ages painting because it wasn't great. You see a similar thing with classical music: people care about the Bach-Mozart era, and not so much about what came before or after it, because those guys were just that good.It's a bit too early to say how the different decades of anime/manga will be remembered, but we could see something similar happen with the 90s-00s. It was a time of great creative flourishing for Japanese pop culture and I don't think it's really been matched by what came before or after it. Death Note and Code Geass are still as popular or moreso among zoomers as modern seasonal anime.>>7961956Not really, see above. Zoomers definitely do have interest in pre-covid anime. I know one zoomer girl who barely even watches anime, but she's still watched some Sailor Moon.>>7961966 >And what would be that "2010's style"? that's when anime became low effort "loli" FUCKING TRASH.You ARE old enough to remember Lucky Star, right?
>>7961983I wouldn't count watching a bit of sailor moon as nostalgia. It's one of the most mainstream series out there, almost everyone knows about it and has seen at least a bit of it. It's almost at Pokemon level, most people didn't even know it was anime
>>7961939We have been nostalgic for the 90s anime style for 20 years at this point because the drastic shifts in the main anime industry from traditional cels to digital forced a bunch of people to adapt or leave. It was all over deviantart from teenagers and young adults drawing, it has now fully transitioned into older adults drawing it in professional settings. Other people will find the stylistic choices over and over again, through people revisiting or from seasoned creators making it relevant again.It's never really gonna go away because of how huge the paradigm shift was. You'll just end up with two separate nostalgia styles running parallel with each other.
>>7961941Kill La Kill and other Studio Trigger worksPanty & Stocking does already get it's fair share of nostalgia
>>7961944Rezero season 1 sure, it has something especial about it. The other ones were mediocre.
