| I'm going to rephrase a thread I posted earlier so it spurs discussion (thanks to the deleting mod for answering my question at least) So I've been on the hunt for Tatsunoko shows for quite some time and was looking for what is available in the states well easily available. Sentai Filmworks has Gatchaman, Discotek Media has a ton of shows. Karas is out of print now but still easy to find. Then other companies still keep other older shows (not nessessarily Tatsunoko shows) in print, like Right Stuf, Discotek, Maiden Japan and one other I can't remember. SO here's the discussion, What older shows do you enjoy, and which ones are you looking for? (Removed old vs new from the question) I'll give a cut off date of 2000 since that's around the time Cel Animation was phased out. Answering my own question, I'm looking for mostly 80s stuff and 70s tatsunoko shows, There's a magic those older shows had that new ones don't. Not that great shows aren't still coming out. But there's a style difference between old and new (that has it's own thread I looked) As for the vintage titles I enjoy, Lupin of course, Project Ako, What I've seen of Macross, Of course the 1998 space trilogy of Trigun, Bebop and Outlaw star and Ghost in the Shell AH and I almost forget Galaxy Express 999 |

| So you're admitting that post2000 anime is better than Pre 2000 anime? |
 |
| Not exactly an older show, but Detective Conan. I find it fascinating how its animation changes over the years, and the fact they go from using flip phones to iPhones within a year in the series' time EDIT: To further answer the question; I generally prefer newer anime because I find the ones I like without having to search to world's end. I don't care about style of animation too much, however I do care about quality to certain degree. |

Related to that post: Kiseijuu...It's funny how the anime version has tablets and newer technology XD |

If I hadn't seen this picture, I would have never noticed the difference in graphics because I don't watch the old episodes more than once. I think I prefer the new style; but that's probably because I've been watching/reading it for a while and don't want to go back. |

| Same for one piece. Old animation and art style was way better. Current OP animation is awful. Old vs New anime: I like both, I watch both. Watched dozens of anime from 20's-60's, they were interesting. Really like 70's and 80's. Not so much 90's. 2000's were great and 2010+ well not watching much from last two years and prefer older stuff. I'm not following airing anime for couple of years now and just pick some when BD's are out. |

tanteiRE said: I think for me it's mainly nostalgia. For most shows that I watched later of, I generally like the new, "refined" art. However, for stuff like Conan and Pokemon, I can't help but feel more attached to the older art.shuryukan said: conan is one of the shows where I like older style more than newer style.

| Speaking of Tatsunoko, I'm thinking of picking up the 1973 "Casshan" series from RightStuf soon. Apparently, Mega Man wouldn't exist without it. I already own the original Gatchaman series. |

| I've watched my fair share of 80's/90's but I can't stand old animation anymore, so I mostly watch anime that are at least 720p. |

There's also a bunch of 1080p remasters of old classics out there so the 720p thing doesn't have to be an issue. |
| I probably regret this post by now. |

ParaParaJMo said: I call anything from the Showa era, meaning up to 1989, as old anime while Heisei anime, meaning after 1989, is new to me. A good majority of what I enjoy is late Showa and early Heisei like Zeta Gundam, Street Fighter II, and the likes. You'll have to explain all that just went over my head. which is good, means I'll learn something new.

I already own the original Gatchaman series. I'm there with you. after I made this thread I found it on Amazon. I hope it's not as annoying as Tekkamen Blade. Every other thing being "D-boy" was annoying as shit. |

| There's definitely a certain charm that exudes from older titles. It's hard to pinpoint what it is though. Is it perhaps the heart and soul poured into it's creation? It was certainly harder work to produce anime back then, and the results weren't nearly as beautiful as what we get today (exceptions of course such as Akira). I dunno man. |

I think more not than in the past anime is produced knowing it'll probably leave Japan where as back in the day it was never intended to leave Japan it was just a bonus if it did and if if did they over localized it. So everything felt fresh and unique. I love anime no matter when it was made. But the old shit gives me the warm and fuzzies. Who knows how we'll feel about Stiens gate in 20 years or Baccano, Haruhi, Lucky Star, Attack on Titan, and GULP Naruto. |

| Your honor, I never wrote this post. |
| I like both old and new anime, but I prefer new. I don't really know why though, not because of lower resolutions or anything like that at least. Needless to say, this doesn't count for all new anime. Like SAO and Glasslip... Though I haven't seen too many old anime so I don't really have a solid ground to base this opinion on. |
| For those who seek perfection, there can be no rest on this side of the grave. Hope is the first step on the road to disappointment. |
ParaParaJMo said: Old anime mostly appeals to me though I do enjoy some new stuff like Code Geass, Gundam Unicorn, and Hajime no Ippo (though the manga is 25 years old) Has Code Geass been rescued? Sets on amazon are going way up now. I never checked the show out when it was new. But I want to now. |
| I don't care about what year it was released. If it's good, it's good. If it's bad, it's bad. |
 |
| i hate the old style of anime makes me so annoyed |
| Hokuto no Ken that is all. |
| Rose of versailles. My GF recommended it to me thought I'll watch 3 episodes and drop it because of the art is not my cup of tea but I was surprised that I liked the story and the setting very much that I marathoned its 40 episodes in 2 days. |
 |
| Old school,bore school.Its just absolute crap. Not watching anything released before 2010 because everything before that is so damn dated ,its like how can you watch that cell animated crap and not get bored to tears? That's how I roll. |
| I sometimes watch chinese cartoons/stuff and share unsolicited opinions. |
