My usage of such an expression means that I found this situation worthy of such a lel, and I wished the express that lelly feeling with my fellow forum goers. I hope that clears up any confusion you may had. |

| I agree, it has indeed been a very toppiest of the toppy top lels level of experience reading this thread, it has. I'm afraid I may start running low on toppy lels soon. |

I don't get how, but ok.. Man, I don't even feel like watching old anime anymore. Congratulations Dragon, you've gone and made old anime lose a viewer. |

| Why do all threads turn to shit when I go to sleep? |
| I probably regret this post by now. |
| I never get how newer fans are like "I don't watch anything before 2000" YOU'RE MISSING OUT! Screw animation. What about PLOT DEVELOPMENT and CHARACTER GROWTH !!!? Most important elements in an anime. Hands down. |

| If it's not the sexy generic 80's look it just ain't good character art, I'm sorry. |

Well, there are plenty of examples: Your Lie in April, Pretty Rhythm franchise, Aria. That's only a few out of plenty too. I have like 1000 anime from that time period so I know, Parasyte is just an easy example to use for both sides. You know 'the only good anime today are the ones adapting old stuff like Parasyte or JoJo or Ping Pong.' Still, you're tempting me to write another intense rant about those terrible Shigatsu character interactions. NOT good examples if you ask me. To defend new anime all you have to do is throw Yuasa titles at that person until they see how wrong they are :P. |

Nicoreos said: Daily reminder that newer fans had more options from almost every decade to choose from which means that they can't possibly be more closed-minded. That makes no sense. Having more options to choose from but still willingly limiting yourself to a small portion od them for shallow reasons makes them more close-minded if anything. |
| I probably regret this post by now. |
| Besides, 90s anime is amazing. Hell the 90s were awesome in general. |
| I can enjoy both old and new styles of anime, but I tend to watch more newer ones than older ones. I just like the simplistic art style of newer anime a bit more than the older style I guess. Of course one should not limit themselves to just old or new anime. |
| For those who seek perfection, there can be no rest on this side of the grave. Hope is the first step on the road to disappointment. |

You just made an ass out of you and me :) Just saying, the amount of options available can't have anything to do with closed-mindedness ever, since that term just addresses how someone handles having multiple options. Limiting your options a priori is basically what it means. Having more options to pick from doesn't make a difference so I don't know why you brought it up. I'm not even sure if you're agreeing or disagreeing with what I said. |

Shrabster said: Higashi_no_Kaze said: Pretty high on yourself brah.Why do all threads turn to shit when I go to sleep? Well of course it might as well be coincidence but the quality of threads like this or the objectivity one or the sophistication one has drastically declined since yesterday, any potentially interesting discussion point got buried under pointlessness within hours. Though now that I look back this particular thread also wasn't interesting before, I must have misremembered it. Still all the 'But Geass is objectively terrible and anyone who disagrees is stupid and I hate them' 'your posts suck and I will repost that 20 times' 'old fans suck because of you' childishness of the last 2 pages was a decline even for this thread. |

| I think the most important take away here is that older anime fans are just all around better when it comes to taste profiles. Its nothing to get mad about, we just are. |

| And here we can see cases of generation gap. |

DrGeroCreation said: It's a generalization but yeah I have noticed younger fans (early teens) like more super bright, shiny artstyles than realistic ones. They go crazy for anything with bright colorful backgrounds and characters with colorful eyes and hair. They don't really like old 90's OVAs and movies which have darker looking colors but realistic character designs. Sometimes I feel like it's the brightly coloured hair that makes the characters and the environment more realistic. Not always, but sometimes. I personally don't like the style of old animes (bar a few things like movies, e.g. Nausicaa of the Valley of the Winds, which for the record, was a fantastically well done film.) I think the old style looks crap, to be honest. |

| Anime is always anime. Maybe it changes, maybe it's kinda different. But overall, its still the same thing. We all like the weird shit that anime gives us, and I'll like them all the same forever. I wouldn't really call Astroboy the peak of storytelling, and I wouldn't call Shinsekai Yori bad storytelling. No matter what year or decade it may be, they have their good and they have their bad. Most of the time, we're either blinded by nostalgia or hate for the new stuff because we hate change, or something else entirely. Either way, anime is always anime. That will never change for me. I sound like a fucking philosopher, don't I? That's cheesy as fuck. |
