Anime was so much better than it is now. I loved how the stories got to the point and there was no sound. Anyone else miss that time?

Bro wtf yes, the lack of sound is the proper way to watch anime, also with no colors to disturb your eyes or seiyuus making anoying voices. An era that no one has managed to beat.

Anime that were made prior to the 60s are not really worth watching in my opinion, and the anime that came out in the 1910s are even more skippable. Currently, I would say the best decade in anime would have to be either the 80s, 90s, 00s, or 10s.

If I think about it it is hard to say any bad anime from that period.

Blokes completely missing out on the decade prior. The true greatest of all time came out back then.
No Ask Maiden for now, I'm currently dealing with something very deeply personal.
My cat's not going to make it to the end of the year. I'm taking a week off the forums / social media entirely, no notifications or anything.
Sorry if you enjoyed seeing the banners. I just need some time alone. I'll be back Monday.

@Daviljoe193 Yes, the giant on whose shoulders the edifice of the anime culture of 1910s was built. Of course nobody could have thought that it was out of nowhere that so many great series around 1915 came from, there was a greater period before them.

Peak anime era. No sound, no voices, very limited colors... Just pure motion pictures in action, telling great stories without dragging them out for many episodes.

I think there are a few good reasons like it made anime a lot more universal because you did not have to worry about understanding what you hear. And another good point is that Spy X Famil didnt exist yet.

No, but at least it had Namakura Gatana which was better than 99% of anime made after it.

Donald Duck was mentioned earlier, I see. Great, because Donald Duck is unironically a comic series better than roughly 90% of long manga.

Nami already exist so you might be wrong and just expect it to be like one of those audio visual you've experience inside an asylum

Nope, 1900s was the greatest decade because it had the least amount of Anime.

1910s was rather sad period for anime, only two of the 28 anime made in that period has survived till today (Namakura Gatana and Momotarō). The 1923 earthquake destroyed almost everything.

Sound was missing from anime until 1933 but it was not silent in the movie theater. In Japan they had a profession called benshi who were storytellers who interpreted and acted the events on the screen. There were also anime made which were synchronized with phonographic records which provided the sound.

Yes, because anime didn't exist back then and the japanese were easier to respect.

Same here as I haven't seen any anime from that decade.
