Old shows are not hard to recommend, you are just afraid and ashamed of it.
>>22944343When I recommended old shows to normies the answer I get is "it's not on Netflix, and I won't pirate because it's scary" or "it looks old, it's ugly and boring"
I'm ashamed normalfags exist.
>>22944343Modern fags wouldn't be able to watch bread turn into toast if someone didn't give them a faq to read a head of time.
>>22944343Okay. Watch Mazinger Z (1972) and get back to me anon. I'm not embarrassed at all :)
>>2294434360% of all anime were done in the last 10 years. And most modern anime watchers aka regular folks and young people refuse to watch things pre 2015 (beside a few exceptions)It’s sadly how it is now.
>>22944343Well yeah, even mediocre new content puts old stuff to shame. That's just how art evolves.
>>22944343Old shows have shit writing and animation. Only the mecha design is good. If you watch these you have no standards
>>22944510>60% of all anime were done in the last 10 years.That can't be fucking true.
>>22944565I’m afraid it is anon. A load of anime are produced now. It’s why newer generations don’t focus as much on some shows beside exceptions. They always have something else to watch and focus on. They never stop. See the seasonal anime watchers syndrome.Mechas though have a lot less shows than before.It’s probably why it’s less popular. And why this board is pretty small. It has cons and pros. Though it’s a bit worrying for the future generations.
>>22944565It's never been easier to produce anime nowadays (read: slop). You don't even need to be Japanese to do it
>>22944488But what kind of bread should I use? Should I go with the top crust slice first or should I go with a middle slice with no crus for my first timet? Any recs on butter brands? I heard salted butter is bad for your heart, anyone know if that's true? I think whole wheat bread looks old and outdated, but someone said it's better for your health, what should I do? Does anyone know a good store where I can get bread? No not that one they don't accept cash and I don't know how to use a debit card. My bread got really brown after a couple minutes in the toaster, should I throw it away? Is burnt toast safe to eat?
>>22944343Old shows are hard to recommend because torrents are dead. How's a nigga supposed to watch an unlicensed show with no seeds?
>>22944649There's virtually no show unavailable right now.
I think it's just an age thing. I only recently started getting into old westerns like Wagon Train and Bonanza.
>>22944678There's definitely an age barrier for people to tolerate old media. Twenty to thirty years is the norm, anything beyond that gets into 'I can't understand these references' and 'this is too corny for me' territory.
>>22944678>>22944703I don't think it has to do with age that much, willingness to watch old media stems from whether your environment provides both tools and encouragement to do so. There's a local cinema in my town that shows old foreign movies every day and there's a good balance of old and young people, but they advertise their cycles in social media so it's easier to find out about it and I assume most of the young people that go are university students and people generally interested in art. Of course you are probably talking about general population, but I still think it's a matter of whether the media is available to you and an encouragement to watch it in some type or form, whether that's someone recommending it to you, curiosity or whatever.
>>22944678It's an unwritten rule that you can't comprehend westerns until you're really halfway through adulthood. Not sure how that applies to mecha though.
>>22944739but when i was 15 i thought tombstone was the coolest shiti do hope gundriver gets put out in english one of these days
>>22944739>tfw I didn't realize Westerns were actually really cool until after my grandpa who loved them passed awayMy dumb teenage ass thought Red Dead Redemption was the exception and everything else was corny shit. Still got his old DVD's and tapes at least.
>>22944343I’ll recommend old mecha shows if someone asks.
>>22944343This quote is talking about the ease of entry of a given series, not how old it is. Often fiction that just throws you to the wolves and expects the audience to figure things out, ends up being a lot more exciting and engaging than productions that are overly concerned with tutorializing the experience and putting exposition in front of entertainment, out of concern that the audience is too dumb to parse this information naturally as the narrative goes. Shame has nothing to do with it.
