So I keep getting called close minded for predominantly watching anime from the 70s and 80s so I started watching more new anime to expand my taste. While some of them are nice ive noticed that im more often having to push myself to watch the series rather than just simply enjoying myself. Theres some good MOE and slice of life stuff but overall im just not passionate about that stuff like I am when I watch say Maison Ikkoku or Kinnikuma. Hell I wanted to increase the size of my anime list but isn't the most important thing to do when watching anime is too enjoy it? |

BlackSabotage said: but isn't the most important thing to do when watching anime is too enjoy it? Well, yeah. It's good to experience different things, to make sure you are at least exposed to different genres and such, but don't force it. Enjoyment should always be the priority. |

If you think modern anime is shit then don't watch it. Honestly I think most modern anime is shit too, but there are a few good ones once in a while. Please don't watch "moe" sol shows... I'm sure there are people that will tell you otherwise, but I feel like it's the kind of entertainment that appeals to the lowest common denominator. Decent shows that are airing IMO.

Jesus fucking Christ. Is it really that fucking hard to decide whether you should watch a different variety of anime than you normally would? Just when I thought your threads couldn't get any dumber, you surprise the hell out me. Yes, you should watch more anime. You should watch different genres. You might just find some different shows/movies you'll like. And I honestly thought that people who like Lone Wolf and Cub couldn't be this stupid... |

I think you know the answer to your own question. Btw, there are some "old-fashioned" anime made even now. There is "Kingdom" and "Souten Kouro" and "JoJo's Bizarre Adventure". "Rainbow" certainly has that 70ies/80ies flair. You might also like "Hyouge Mono". There is also Titania since you are LOGH fan. |

just stick with the genres you liked in the old shows ;) when you get used to the new animation styles you'll be able to enjoy it haha (or what is it that draws you to older shows and not the new ones) |
