| i dont get your post if you like older anime then why haven't you watched any |
 |
| Same reason modern day kids don't touch old classic games. Cause it doesn't visually appeal to them. Remake a sequel in HD with updated animaton/artwork and I'm sure they will. I'm sure a good majority of those who watched the new versions of Hunter x Hunter or JoJo haven't even seen the older versions nor want to. |
| Same for me, but I've heard lots of complaints about the art and animation of older anime so guess that's one of the bigger reasons. |
| ->the animation and art style are not for me ->people watch wathever they enjoy |
 |
| For me, the biggest negative point in old anime is soundtracks. Since I've only watched about a handful of old anime, one major difference I noticed was that the older anime like to remain silent. They don't apply enough OSTs. Newer anime have soundtracks for almost every moment. And well, most people prefer newer art style over the older one. |

| I mean, I haven't watched much anime in general, but I must say that I prefer the late 80's to early 90's in terms of aesthetic value. It's something to do with the shadings and palettes they choose. It looks more...drawn, I guess. I like that. For example, I am absolutely enamoured by Mobile Police Patlabor's colours and style at the moment, that I just can't get over it. I wouldn't say that I therefore exclusively like anime from that era, as that would be pretty ignorant, but yeah, lot's of people like older anime man. I do find it rather ignorant when people exclaim "huehue it's got an old artstyle, not gonna watch, huehue", but I digress. It's kinda like not reading classic literature, a missed opportunity. You're not the special snowflake you wanted to be lauded as, OP. Plenty of kids enjoy the classics. |

 |
| Because they don't like the animation, its pretty obvious. |

MarcSenpai said: old tv anime maybe.. and even so there are many relevant 4 cour and below (rose of versailles, sdf macross, ideon, ie naki ko, silver fang, millions more in the 90s)That's the problem because I don't have enough time to watch so many anime because Old anime has probably 100+ episodes. I just want to watch old anime. and there are many old movies and standalone ovas that are even shorter than that.. like barefoot gen, angel's egg, gosenzosama, video girl ai, golden boy, armitage,.. |
|
| coz they're long I hardly find any motivation to complete ~25 episode series that aren't great. Hokuto no Ken, Saint Seiyaa, LotGH, Ranma½, Lupin the 3rd, Astro Boy and many more titles are 100+ episodes. |
 |
| I love to watch old anime, it's hand drawn and most of the shows are funny and uncensored but the problem lies in the source, no where to download or buy. |
 |
| -People aren't fond of the artstyle/animation -Old anime is not as easy to find if you aren't a classic or have a cult following -and sometimes people are just plebs |
| every single one of my forum posts is dumb and invalid except for 1, I don't claim them it was a different person it was all fake |

That aside, I noticed Berserk and Hunter x Hunter 1999 have so many moments of silence. It kind of does suite some shows, but it turns people off sometimes, since sound is a great and immersive medium to add to animation. And as some other people mentioned, the length. So many old anime are 4-cour or more. I hardly have the motivation to watch 2-cour anime now, so 4-cour+ is a big deal. |

| Same reason why old books are not read much compared to the contemporary: A common reader will not delve into reading all Trollope books or even try to read the books in the 1400s. You cannot even get past through Thackeray's work excluding Vanity Fair. The reason is that, there is no more source, It has long withered. There are few titles that are preserved though, and some are well-watched, actually. But then, there are still more reasons, but most of it is because it's long obsolete, some parts (especially the culture and trends) aren't interesting when watched in the 21st century. |
| Old animation , hard to find , too many episode & blabla bla bla WHERE'S MY MOEBLOB !!!!! |
| I have seen people who don't wanna watch the original EVA because it looks "old" and just wanna rebuild. |
| I haven't updated in years but now I have changed that. I'll be free soon. |
| the animations, execution and pace are not as good as recent animes though I enjoyed ranma 1/2 and city hunter a lot. |
| I think its mostly due to the artstyle. I mean its the same reason why some people refuse to play ff1-9 which are instant classics and great games, but the same people with say ff13 is teh best ff ever -_-. All the old FF1-6 were out of my age range when they were initially released, so it was a new frontier to play games like that with dumbed down graphics, but I enjoyed the hell out of them. The same goes with anime, some people just can't get past the artstyle, but then they miss out on great anime like Berserk or Cowboy Bebop. |

| Some people like to give priority to animation over story, and characters. Others have a peculiar taste that just doesn't include older anime. |

Yoshitaka Amano's art is certainly not "old" or "dumbed down" though, it's expressively vibrant and colourful. I actually don't know why it's not more popular than the generic designs of the characters post 6. They're certainly more akin to the intricacies, lines and details the kids are enjoying these days. If there is one thing that Amano is good at, it's drawing bishie boys. Ah, to get a modern FF game with art by Amano would be a dream, but I digress. |

Its just how I felt when I started backtracking to "older" games like the first FF's. Now I know better haha. I feel more comfortable in those old school graphics rpg games than I do with the newer stuff, but I can enjoy the beauty in the newer stuff as well. I wish Squaresoft was never taken over to become SquareEnix, that's when the games started to decline in quality. @MasterHavik I didn't mean all of the ff13 fans, but I have seen quite a few that haven't played a FF before 10 and will call it the best ever. FF13 still had its moments and was good, but it just didn't feel like a FF game. |

| They're low quality (only 480P, or 720P if you're lucky). They're usually slower paced and tend to have a higher episode count. I'm not fond of the 90s art style. The 90s comedy doesn't do it for me most of the times. I do appreciate the handdrawn art and animation, but I prefer the look of modern anime (both quality-wise and the artstyle). |
TiaDee said: I get what you're saying, started reading Dracula and I didn't expect it to be so goddamn tedious. Like I get that it set the foundation for the vampire genres, but that's the point, most books after Stoker's novel have borrowed these classical tropes and improved on them greatly, I'm already used to the polished versions and to read them it their raw form feels like regress. I wonder, I agree that Dracula became really plodding, but I don't think of it as a bad book; I even consider it as the pinnacle of Gothic Horror in English literature. Gothic horrors tend to be melodramatic, and character-driven. The reason why it became more unexciting because in hindsight, we are all informed of what kind of vampire Stoker was depicting--a blood-sucking-curse-spreading-misogynist. Though I shouldn't be saying this because I haven't read any Vampire-theme novels that borrows the trope. But yeah, you got a point, since Dracula is the founder of this theme, we could expect some flaws and of course, the later works could polish it for the betterment. |

But yeah, you got a point, since Dracula is the founder of this theme, we could expect some flaws and of course, the later works could polish it for the betterment. It's not bad, it's just... Stoker being so bad at managing suspense and pacing. Since it's also a mistery novel the story emphasizes the dire necessity for the characters to meet and pierce the information together and I'm only halfway through, but it already happened. The writing style is epistolary so I as a reader get to know what and how much each character knows and also get a overall idea on the situation, but now another character knows as well and knows just as much as I do (actually they know more) and since I'm just halfway through I keep wondering what else could Stoker use to fill the rest of the novel and why does the novel need to continue another 200 pages for? And as I said that pacing is dreadful and all characters (no exception) are too nice, they don't know each other but already act like they're blood brothers or something. And frankly the only two interesting characters in there are Van Helsing and Dracula and the novel being epistolary means I never get to see Dracula's perspective which seems like a wasted opportunity to me. All in all, Dracula looks like a long series of poor writing choices and lost opportunities that might have been popular (even praised) at that time, but which now have become redundant and piffling. (Why do you say he's misogynistic though? He didn't give me that impression as of yet. If there's one - just one - thing that this novel manage to surprise me with is how progressive, for that time, is in terms of portraying female characters and how male characters view them). Yeah, that restricted perspective is really underwhelming, but what impresses me are his vivid descriptions about the places, about what's happening, and that's truly the main focus of Gothic novels, to produce noir-like settings. That unrealistic relationship between them is only about Mina and Harker towards Van Helsing and Seward. Note that Seward, Arthur, Lucy and that laconic guy Quincey are actually acquaintances, and Van Helsing connected with Seward. he used uber-goody good characters probably to create a contrasting image towards Dracula-- he intend to make him more notorious because he don't want to make an appealing antagonist, since that impression is essential towards the denouement. Read on, it's worthwhile, actually, just focus on reading through the words and you may find the changes on the latter part of the story. I said him a misogynist, rather an irony because he prefer his victims being a woman. He intended to make the male characters to be super mangina in order to make another contrast, because Dracula is depicted as a tainting menace, defiling every sacred woman on his sight, and these boys shall do everything to protect the gals. It seems like Stoker is just a mangina himself. Lol |
| Probably the art style, but I personally enjoy it :/ |

| I don't like much the animation and art style in first place, plus, atleast for the ones I know, old anime was really focused in action, mecha, sci-fi, war settings, episodic formats and similar stuff that I generally dislike a lot (always with some exceptions). From earlier than 2000 I only watched Lain, GTO and Golden Boy, that for their synopsis got my interested and I found them nice, I also watched the first episode of NGE, let's see if I like it (I don't expect much tbh). |
 |
| Always the same reason- the animation. I thought too that I will not be able to bear the animation but I watched/rewatched several ones and they are good. |
