What do you like more about older anime (60s/70s/80s) and what do you prefer about newer stuff(90s/21st century)?
| I generally prefer the characters and atmosphere of older anime as well as the variety in art styles, but most importantly I think the best of the older anime is better than the best of newer anime. I also noticed the longer anime from back then were generally more consistent in quality? I like how in newer we have more anime, more variety in plots, and a lot of new anime about things no one would've thought to do in the older days. I also like how we have a hand full of really trippy and experimental anime like Kuuchuu Buranko and Kaiba and all those. In the 70s their was Animerama but those were the only trippy experimental anime I can think of. |

| You didn't get any responses for 10+ minutes because a majority of active users probably haven't seen much to any 80's anime let alone older than that, aside from a few popular titles. |

You can really feel the history surrounding the shows. It's also great watching stuff from decades ago, only to realize that the stuff I like (and dislike) nowadays have always been the same. And yeah, I agree with what you said about newer shows. They're great because of the large variety nowadays. For better or worse, there's something made to fit with near any taste. Plus, there's a lot more tech and ideas floating around for experimental stuff, which is always fun. |

| The fact that post 2000 anime is better than pre2000 anime |
 |
| I like that I can watch both with my eyes. |
| I haven't seen anything earlier than Dragon Ball and I don't think I ever will because the quality of the art in 21st century anime is just too impressive. I'm shallow when it comes to things like that, so if I'm going to stare at a screen for half an hour or more at a time I need to like what it is I'm looking at. |

| I love the art style and animation of the 60s/70s/80s Anime a lot. I really get "Immersed" when I watch them, and I get a similar feeling with many 90s Anime as well. The joy I get from watching some of my favorite older shows is something that is difficult to express with words. You really need to experience it first hand to understand. If I search hard enough, I can find a small few Anime from the 2000s/2010s that I like, but they don't give me that same wonderful, immersive, goosebumpy feeling that pre-2000 shows give me. |

| I like how glossy eyes don't exist in old anime. Glossy eyes can be distracting sometimes. |

I just don't like having boobs shoved down my face to make up for lack of plot. old anime and new anime are equally as good, some years are more fortunate than others but they all feature the same underhanded and lazy tactics at masking poor plots just through different ways each finding new levels of obnoxious insult to the mind regardless of the era. The only real difference between old and new anime is some potentially good shit may never get subbed in the era of classics. |

This is one of the very few things id argue is really all that different between old and new anime, I feel like the 80's were the ones who got this the hardest, i dont know what happened in that decade that made everything look so washed out and ugly at points but i never really thought this way when i see things from the 70's which actually looked colorful as hell. some early 90's (and earl 00's) anime also fell victim to this ugly coloring scheme but i feel like 80's are the ones that really got it bad, the movies and OVA's looked absolutely phenomenal but man were alot of the TV shows really flat in its color spectrum (and no im not saying all old anime from the 80's were like this, just alot) Thats the one big thing i actually really like about anime since the HD era started, there is alot more emphasis on colors(also shadows but thats a whole thing altogether), something like this show's coloring just seems to not exsist in the older coloring shceme |

It goes up and down like any medium; I don't think anyone would claim Hollywood is in an upswing right now, but American television has (just my opinion) never been better. i don't think anyone can say that there isn't good anime coming out, and I think anime is in a better place right now. Taking that Hollywood analogy to anime, my argument is this: I really like a lot of stuff from the 70's into early 80's (stuff by Miyazaki, Matsumoto, Tezuka, Tomino)...but then the mid to late 80's the trend toward fan service was really strong. But, there was still good stuff from the early OVA era even thought you are right to criticize (Akira, Honneamise, etc.) And some people like fan service, that was the era that made anime popular in the VHS crazed USA for better or worse. But even in the darker periods, you had stuff like Akira, Macross Plus, Ghost in the Shell that were great. I'd say the late 90's into early 2000's really brought things back around again, then (just my opinion) anime had a bit of a slump in the mid 2000's. There was still some good stuff (Steamboy and Hellsing Ultimate are excellent, I think), but it was another fan service heavy period. For me, I'm just not a big fan service guy and I'm glad we're getting some more serious anime again right now. And some people love fan service and will hate my take on this, that's cool too. OVAs are known for giving birth to major shit and the worst of the old generally were OVAs. I don't think their was ever a weak spot in the 70s and 80s when it came to TV series but that's just me. |

Japan has strict laws involving genitalia and they are largely what led to Japanese porn being creative in order to make up for this. |

retrogamer32x said: snip I dont really think there are any real periods in anime where id really say its weaker than others, yes some were definitely better and its perfectly ok to pick a favorite era, but the actual ratio of good to bad shows is borderline identical and will likley always stay that way, we judge newer things alot harsher cause we are actually sitting through it, its easy to forget about shit from older times as well as weaken the blow of poor shows when you can watch them at your own pace rather than watching it weekly. |
