| Ultimate Boomer Anime !!! Maybe not, Jujutsu Kaisen has that title |
| CHAINSAW MAN IS MASTERPIECE, FIGHT ME |
RobertBobert said: No, I'm serious. This anime contains so many cliches of action anime from the late 90s to early 00s that it starts to border on nostalgic parody. Cartoon characters with hair in unnatural bright colors, unique multi-colored mecha, eccentric shonen-ish male lead, sarcastic tomboy, stereotypical oujo-princess pacifist, quasi-Wild West setting, evil empire as villains (although this is probably an 80s cliché) and even a soundtrack in the spirit of children's anime with Fox Kids. To be honest, the list is endless. Every element of this show is literally bingo from the popular tropes of the time. Yes, I know that the writer for this show is an anime veteran and wrote Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann and Kill la Kill. But at least these shows weren't so much tied to their time. unnatural bright colors says rem avatar with pink haired sister ram :P But to be serious, none of those tropes are really limited to the 80's 90's or 00's, they ALL still occur commonly in modern anime. I mean as I mentioned above... There are multiple characters with random hair colors in re:Zero... But would you call it a boomer anime? no way! |

I could point out that this is an anime about people, and Rem and Ram are demons from a fantasy show, but heck, how many people here will still be salty because they don't understand what this thread is about? |
