What do you like more about older anime (60s/70s/80s) and what do you prefer about newer stuff(90s/21st century)?

I think plenty of people remember those shitty OVAs from the 80s and 90s that are often considered the bottom of the barrel. |

Actually I hear more speak of Violence Jack and Genocyber than I do Gunbuster in fact I knew of them long before Gunbuster. Also I don't like the older anime more because their was less garbage but because I liked the best of the old more than the best of the new. I don't get why we have to always bring the crap up. |

| Old anime may have been consistent in quality, but the animation style is outdated. (No hate!) I just prefer newer animation styles, because it looks cleaner and the colours are nicer. But then again, I haven't really seen any old anime. I think the oldest I've seen is Hana Yori Dango. So, my opinion isn't really valid? lol |

| Stardust Memory makes Unicorn look like it was animated by DEEN. |

| Biggest thing I prefer in new anime is digital animation. I know people say cel has charm or whatever but you can still get the same cel aesthetic with digital animation but with sharper picture quality and less noise. |
| I like the art style of older anime more, I also feel more relaxed when watching it. A lot of new concepts that I don't see in older anime in this century. |
 |
| I have seen several TV series from the 90's but nothing really before then. Its just too old for my taste. |
| This IS EASY! The action in both time periods are very different. Old anime tend to have better dramatic sword fights and gun battles, instead of the "Michael Bay" syndrome :P Then again, Michael Bay movies are explosive and fun xD. |
| A great protagonist once said, "It's only overpowered if you can't return the favor!" |
| One thing is for sure imho,older series didn't shy at all about having some uber manly men as their main characters :Kenshiro,Guts,Joe,the main cast of Dragon Ball,Jojos' main characters (since the manga started out in the 80's),Spike,Char..... Whereas the main catch nowadays seems to be how much of a spineless pussy the main character (usually a teenage brat) is and gets shitted on by pretty much anyone (thanks for that Evangelion) |

| I sometimes watch chinese cartoons/stuff and share unsolicited opinions. |
| Personally, I just like the Manliness of the 80s series as well as the artstyle, which is why i like series like Kongou Bancho and Toriko due to being rather similar in style to those aold-school stuff |
 |
| I grew up watching older stuff, so perhaps it is more of a personal thing for me. However, I think 80s/early 90s animation is less lurid and more engaging. The older art style was also less disproportionate. I've noticed that the more modern anime I am fond of is less 'modern' in art style than the average series released these days. |
| In older anime graphics and visual effects had limits and limited budgets so they tend to invest more in the actual story, plot and characters which yields higher intellectual quality then current anime .... imagine they still do that today with the added graphics of today !!!! can you say .... ANIME-GASM!!!! |
 |
| Older anime had wonderful stories from what I remember, compared to today's anime. I always appreciated all the characters and settings they had, WAY more than how much I do today. Now it all seems like the same, reused stories, just altered a bit here and there. However, I will say I prefer today's anime because of the exceptional art and animation. It's a lot easier on the eyes, to someone very used to seasonal anime. I can't bring myself to watch old anime because of the art alone. |
| Older anime had good story. People were actually trying back in the day to create something, though it lacked in animation department. On the other hand, most of the anime now has good quality, but if 1 anime in a season has decent story we get lucky. Most of the studios today use same overused pattern because it is sure to bring them money. They are afraid to experiment with new things. |

| I had once a phase where I preferred newer anime. Now luckily it's over, and I recognize the true value of old school classics. |

John_h said: I prefer the newer shows pretty much across the board - they look a hell of a lot better and offer just as many great stories as older anime, so in my opinion there really isn't much of a reason to become all nostalgic about how things were supposedly better back in the day. Clearly K-On! >>>>> basically any anime ever made,so whey even bother giving anything else a try when you already seen perfection. |

Again can people shut up about Nostalgia? Nostalgia only counts if its from your past and I seriously doubt anyone here was watching Ashita no Joe or LOTGH as a kid. |

| I like the fact that old anime use nostalgia feeling to be appalling I like that new anime doesn't do that |

Anime is still good but most all music's gone to mediocre shite! Listen to real music you pleb! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LUhPjMuAvPQ |

| They both have merits, but I am more likely to watch new shitty anime than old shitty anime. |
WAD1992 said: Waifu_Strangler said: How did you watch Remi? on TV and dubbed, all of them were dubbed :/ Remi has a dub? I did not know this. Still since most old anime are only subbed most people likely didn't watch them as a kid because most kids don't read sub's. Thus the nostalgia argument is thrown out the window. Especially with stuff like Ashita no Joe which was finished being subbed a couple of months ago. |

As a matter of time, shitty new anime have reduced length compared to older shitty anime, lowering filler content. |
| I like how animation studios started experimenting with mecha anime during the late 70's and 80. Such a vast amount of series were produced in such a relatively small period of time. Granted, not all of them were the most amazing written series, but the 1980's OVA Boom gave birth to some of the most iconic mecha and cyberpunk to this day. My personal favorite remains Bubblegum Crisis from all the things I've seen so far; Amazing production values and charismatic character designs <3 |
