| I generally find it easier to enjoy 80's-90's anime, for no particular reason, even though I have no problem with new shows. Do you have a preference, or do you not care? |
  |
| I prefer both. |
 |
| I just don't give a fuck. |

| Newer anime. Why? May it cause or shitstorm or not, but my simple reason, better quality. Not as in plot but the power of blu-ray. |
| I don't really care, as long as I enjoy it. |

| Even tho I don't think I've seen enough older anime to judge, I think I like newer anime better. BTW OP, thanks for making an actual discussion thread. I was afraid this was going to be a clone from the other one. |

Plusme said: Old classic for me all the way! :))) What basis are you using to choose what old anime to compare to new anime? There are a lot better choices than the ones on that image if all your simply going to do is compare art style/character design. |
Plusme said: Old classic for me all the way! :))) I was wondering when you were going to post. |
| I tend to watch newer anime more, but as long as I enjoy them I don't really care. I wonder how long until this thread becomes a ~*old classic x new anime*~ battlefield. |
| I like things that I like. Age doesn't matter. |

| It's hard to say. I guess I prefer 70's and 80's artwork, and now that theres so much more anime every year its hard to spot the gems. But theres still a lot of good shows, you just have to look for them I guess. |
| I don't really care. Most of the stuff I've seen has been from the 00s and 10s though. |
| So, why does there have to be so much of a gap between "new school" and "old school" fans? To me....if I like an anime, I just like an anime. I don't care when it was made and I don't care if it is in HD or not. And, to me, it's equally as ridiculous on both sides at times. Though, I will admit that old school fans tend to come off as particularly intolerant. Plusme, I'm looking at you. |

| I think 1998-2007 is the golden age of anime. |
| I enjoy anything - but I prefer shows from ~2002 and onward due to a huge jump in technology used in the production making it more fluid and vibrant. Anime also took a turn from mostly being generic shitty shows aiming to make sales off of pointless violence and tit scenes to finally being about story and character development around that same time. |

Neane1993 said: The Golden Age of anime was from 1998 to 2007 Nope. It was never the golden era. Japanese animation started to deteriorate at the moment they switched from hand-drawn cel to computer digital, which was around some time in the late-90s. And was also the time they mass-outsourced to other contries. |
| Don't care how old an anime is, all that matters to me is how it was made. Hand-drawn>computers. |
| I'm dead. Don't come looking for me. |
| Doesn't matter how long ago it was made, just as long as I liked it before it was cool. |
 |
| The age of the anime isn't a factor for me nor should it be for anyone else. |
| Older is better because of nostalgia in some cases |
| both enjoyable. |

| I like newer shows more, mainly because of the quality and art style is just better in my opinion. I do like re-watching the older shows that I've grown to watching over the years, however I wont go and seek out older material (pre-2000) for the sake of finding something to watch. I just feel uncomfortable about watching older things. Gives me a sense of unease. The oldest thing I've watched when it comes to anime is Akira. |
| I like both but my favorite animes are probably from the 90s. |
Around the early 2000s you'll notice my Mean Score Per Decade goes on a very steep decline. |
 |
| My favorite show is from the 80's (actually not nostalgia either), but generally speaking I prefer newer anime. |
| I don't care. I think that both Cowboy Bebop and Otaku no Video are amazing. On top of that, I also think K-On and Madoka Magica are amazing too. I think Evangelion sucks but I also think SAO sucks. Good things are good. That's all that matters |
 |
| I guess I should've worded it differently. A lot of people seem to think I'm asking which is technically better, which isn't necessarily what I meant. |
|
| I do love older animes but I'm also really liking these new anime coming out. |
| New ones |
| I tend to find myself enjoying more stuff from the 90's/early 00's. Probably more of a nostalgia thing though. |
90's and 00's are my tops so far |
| It doesn't matter to me, if it's good it's good. If I had to choose, I'd pick older anime. Yu Yu Hakusho & One Piece FTW. |
 |
| No preference. Each decade I guess has its share of goodies and baddies. |
 |
| I like anime :3 |
 |
| Older, I can't even look at the newer anymore, hit the limit. |
