What's the second and last gif from? I like old anime so I'd give them a shot if their action or suspense series.
haha second is Fujiko Mine from Lupin III, and last is Ayuko Hayami from Golden Boy, neither is action or suspense. You could say Lupin III has action but its mostly a crime/comedy. and Golden Boy is in no way an action or suspense but it is comedy gold highly recommend, in particular the English dub, it's top tier.
the most suspense and action Golden Boy has though is this

Okay I'm actually not against Comedy so long as the jokes land. Ha ha. I've heard of Lupin and Golden Boy before so I'll check them out at some point. 
Sometimes it takes a real man to be best girl. Gilgamesh is also chad.

do it also Golden Boy is super short and since the English dub is legendary it's a good one to put on next time your just chilling and having lunch or something

1995-2010 was the golden age for me. That was when anime had A LOT of swagger. Some additions from me:

Damn this thread is down and dirty. I'm just gonna watch good stuff old and new. If I have to give any input. It's that everyone disagrees about what is old vs, new and where the cutoff is. Some say 90s and older, others say pre-2010. I just use a rolling date of 20 years and up. So anything made before Spring 2003, I would call old. It's as Shrimple as that. 
I agree as you generally appreciate the old style of the past vs the modern style style of today and beyond in anime production and how it was handle.

I like the vintage girls (especially the ones with big milkies as you depicted in gif), and the new gen ones. Each one will prefer a specific kind.

I've seen all of those series (aside for that last one)  and I feel nothing for any of those characters.

Faye -  I like her body and outfit, but thats about it

Fujiko - A step or two up from Faye in terms of her overall attractiveness for me, but I still mostly just like her body.

Revy...well..
TheFireNinja said:
Can't say I feel Revy personally. She seems like more of a girl you would go for a drink with the boys. She's too tomboyish for me as a waifu.
That more or less sums it up. I'm not against the tomboy thing, but Revy specifically it not someone I'd want that kind of relationship with.

"Golden Boy" was only a 6 episode OVA from the mid 90s. Kind of hard to feel anything for "Ayuko Hayami" other than remembering her decked out looking all 90s like in a one piece sports bathing suit. Just like all the other girls in this Anime she was only really featured in one episode other than in the finale.

Golden Boy, huh. I've heard of it but haven't seen it. From the sound of it, she wouldn't have been very memorable even if I had.

Fujiko who? Oh, the second one. Yeah, what every man needs in their lives is a materialistic two-faced cheater. There's a word for that.

traits that are neither feminine nor masculine, so your comment still makes no sense, also you do know she's not real right like you ain't gonna marry her my guy it's just fun to watch her do her femme fatale antics. I swear some of you dweebs wouldn't know fun if it hit you in the face.

Fair enough. Yuuko Kanoe is one of my favorites of this type.


But even her shtick would get tiresome if the show went on for as long as Lupin has been airing.

bruh... chill... It's just a silly post about 2D girls.... you didn't have to write a whole ass essay about how you're the most pretentious anime hipster around or some shit.
Just making fun that's all. Besides I like some old anime, don't have much to say about some characters though just haven't found the right ones I think yet.

Besides how else to convey words than with lots of words. Also I don't run off twitter post length I work off forum logic, what forums allow people to do, type essays. :P

Hardly even a hipster my MAL is pretty clear what trash and not I watch. XD

I'm interested how her character is portrayed in the old series? In the new one and the sequel movies, she had much more depth than just being a Femme Fatale archetype.
Or like ... is it worth it in general to watch the old series?

As a veteran man of culture, I truly feel pity for ye poor souls who have not watched older anime, or worse yet refuse to because it's "too old".
Now I'm not here to give some lecture about how anime in my day was better or some shit like that, no no no...
I just feel pity for you for as you argue about who is the best girl between some generic 2D high school girls you are missing out on the top-tier best girls, the OG best girls.
Culture has nothing to do with it. You might be missing something good or great if you skip out on watching older anime.

The art and atmosphere of older anime shows is why I love them so much.

The darker colours and use of shadows is what does it for me, it feels much more natural. Modern anime art is so plastic looking, and because it's so much cheaper to produce, you get a lot more mediocre looking shows with so much of it lacking anything that makes it stand out from any other show. A lot of modern character designs are so boring to look at, they are just so plain. I feel like a huge majority of anime characters of the past 10 or 15 years could fit into any show and they wouldn't look out of place, that is how samey so many of them look.

Atmosphere, plot, characters, emotions when you watch them.

No, praising Old Anime and bashing New Anime at the same time just made people to avoid Old Anime much more than before.
BANZAI NIPPON. Nippon is the Land of freedom. Nippon is the Land of Peace. Nippon is the Land of Justice and Prosperity.

In Nippon, we trust.

We love Nippon, we love Anime. Anime love us, Nippon love us. 日本

I believe in freedom of expression.
