| *Look at your anime list* I think I know how to solve this problem OP  |
| There are some oddballs like that out there but people tend to demonize them so they are afraid of showing themselves in public. They will call them elitists and other names just for having a preference. Because preferring newer anime is 'normal' but preferring older anime is a 'problem' or 'elitist'. Prepare yourself for the backlash. I do find it funny that it is extremely rare to find someone who prefers older anime without feeling the need to take some stabs at modern anime tho. Personally I like both, I've seen much more modern anime and a lot of my favorites are new but I'd still say I prefer older anime in general because if you put aside all the things that people think depends on how old an anime is, which actually don't (like animation quality which is 100 times more dependent on budget than production date, or artstyle which can vary in every decade, or writing, which is all over the place in all decades depending on the show) there are 3 definite things I prefer in old anime: 1. I love old anime OSTs. Mainly the 80s and early 90s. Seriously, even the crappiest OVAs from that time will almost always still have an OST that I really like. I just like the sound of the 80s, what can I say. 2. Cel Animation is another thing I adore. I like modern animation too and it can do some things that cel animation can't do, but independent from animation quality I just enjoy the cel animation look a bit more. Just one of my biases. 3. Average series length was much longer back in the day. 50 episode shows were very common and even longer ones weren't that rare. Nowadays 2-cour is already the exception, 1-cour is the standard and for a lot of my favorite types of shows that's just way too short to get a truly satisfying experience. |

| old or new. as long as it's great. I'm gonna watch it. olala suave!!! |

| Lol... So it's that time of week again, huh? This seems interesting... *grabs popcorn* OT: Nah, for what I believe, I don't like the 90s, but the one I've seen, which isn't really that much, is are worth of praise from the Music background to OP/ED... leNerd said: Im just gonna recommend you Shinsekai Yori, maybe it will cure you from your hipsterism. Mhhh... Shinsekai Yori... It's... Garbage in my opinion... Oppss, wait a minute OP... I don't care what you think about it |

| You didn't really name any good anime, so... :') It really depends, I don't care much about when an anime was made, as long as I can find them enjoyable, I'm fine. exactly. |
leNerd said: Im just gonna recommend you Shinsekai Yori, maybe it will cure you from your hipsterism. If it doesnt i recommend you to grow a good beard, buy a macbook and go to your nearest starbucks cafe You can then tell people there how great old animes are, i think they will be more open to your mindset than the plebs on MAL Implying that liking SSY isn't having hipster taste. |

| Why just limit yourself with a age gap You should also only like 1 or 2 genres while you're at it You also need to find one genre to hate on for no reason Also Dragon Ball Z isn't old enough and it will never be as good as the original Dragon Ball  |
 |
| you sure nostalgia isn't affecting how you're comparing em to newer anime? and no i don't prefer older anime because i've seen a lot more modern ones. (ayyy you were the one that got triggered at the cory in the house thread) |

I feel like liking 1/2 genres is a bit, narrow... Let's just say "category"... Mhhh... One genre to hate is too narrow. Le'ts just say "category"... |
| I do but mainly because I'm a hipster who likes to find hidden gems. I do enjoy newer anime though. Kuroko no Basuke is one of my favorite anime. |
| "Age not make one great"-Yoda-Star Wars News Flash: There were just as many bad anime back then as there are now. Also you haven't even broken into triple digits and you're already complaining about not being able to find anime to watch when there's literally hundreds of thousands of titles available to you? Even "old" titles you haven't seen yet. It's just a bit hard to take you seriously. As for me, age of the anime doesn't have any correlation with quality at all. I've seen and enjoyed stuff from as far back as the early 70s and as current as this season. |

| DB and Sailor Moon aren't even that old lol I thought you were going to bring up actual old stuff like Astro Boy or Gundam tbh Now as for your problem you could take other posters' advice and watch better anime or maybe just more anime since what you've seen so far could be called the "shitty surface" by some |

| I can deconstruct this for you: You saw some longer anime in your childhood. It was harder to get licensing rights back then so companies only took on longer shows which have more in-depth stories, although they can drag on a bit. You watched a bunch of new anime from the most popular newer shows rather than finding new anime that fit your taste more (I think you might like Kill la Kill or Full Moon wo Sagashite more than the stuff you've already seen). Berserk and Cardcaptor Sakura are great shows from the late 90s if you want to check them out. There are different things that happen over time. In the beginning no one really knows what they're doing but they also have the most options since there isn't anyone to copy. Once the medium has been established there's a lot of great stuff that comes out and when it eventually becomes profitable more people will start abusing the medium in different ways which leads to content that fewer people want. There is more diversity in this stage though so niche audiences will find things to enjoy more easily than when it was only economically viable to make things that targeted the most general audiences possible. |

| @AveryGamerDude: "We need to make anime great again!" Um, you didn't really say what year anime started becoming "new" so I'll just guess you're talking about everything after the year 2000 based off of the "great" anime you name-dropped. I can't even begin to imagine how monumentally stupid it is to ignore the multitude of fantastic, no, magnificent series that have been released since 2000. Just to name three, there's Brotherhood. There's the 2011 adaptation of Hunter x Hunter. THERE'S FUCKING MONSTER!!! Of course, you're still trapped in your mindset that anything after 2000 is garbage. You think it's something sacred, a thing that you can use to sniff your nose at "lesser beings", that you only watch series before 2000. It's not about "fantastic graphics" or "cooler art styles". It's the fact that, for the most part, anime studios have taken a good, hard look at those so-called classics and tried to craft their products in a better, more compact fashion. That's what pisses me off about your complete and utter disregard for one and a half solid decades of pure dedication. Sure, quite a few anime series are just carbon-copy, cookie-cutter garbage but you can't just categorize everything that came after 2000 and call it all "garbage". Peace. |
Tbh I kinda agree, most anime you mentioned are the kinds of anime you like because they are personally important to you, like something you grew up with so it's always is going to be close to your heart. I don't think any of those series are very good and although I do like some of them, I know that they aren't great anime and I only like them because they are the anime that started me off as a anime watcher. Anyways I guess that's just a personal opinion, so all goods, if you like that kind of anime better just watch that kind of anime you hipster ;) |

Peace. lmao talk about over-interpreting and putting words in his mouth xD. These are the kind of full-of-shit responses I expect on MAL when someone dares to say that he doesn't prefer modern anime in every possible way. Nevermind that he's watched a good amount of newer shows and isn't 'ignoring' these decades at all (unlike the majority of people who prefer only modern anime and do in fact ignore everything made before a certain year). Nevermind that he never indicated looking down on 'lesser beings' who watch modern anime. Nevermind he never even used the word garbage in his post. He indicated a personal preference for older anime so that automatically means he thinks all those things even if he never said them, amirite? |
| I probably regret this post by now. |
| The new art styles, characters and simplistic backgrounds just aren't doing it for me. I'm not surprised Kill la Kill bored me within its first episodes while Future Boy Conan has been much easier. I think Japan lost it a long time ago. |
| Of course, no doubt about it. Retro will always win. |

| Yes, because Girl's Bravo is probably the oldest one I watched. And it;s the best anime |
 |
| Im bored so I felt like I should leave a new comment again In all honesty when people say they only like one specific time period of shows I feel they are shallow as hell Saying you only like old anime is no different to people who only like new anime Saying new anime will never be as good as old anime is just stupid Just like when my friend said he would love more Hulk related scenes or even more movies to flesh out his character in the MCU So I recommended we watch the 1978 series since I have all 5 seasons on DVD and its the best way to get to know the character since he doesn't read comics But he told me he can't watch it because its old and that the Hulk just doesn't look like the Hulk when its a guy in paint vs the CGI version  Its just such shallow thinking |

| I probably regret this post by now. |
| As much as I like some newer shows...I notice a trend...every year starting from 2010 can be sum up with one anime. You don't need to watch other anime besides that one. What we like and dislike has become more narrow and a lot of shows fall by the wayside. |

The world is cruel, ugly and pitiful. Let's watch anime and make it colorful |
| I do not feel any preference one way or the other solely on the basis of something being older or newer. |
| Again and again I'll say that new and old are good. I think it's just a matter of preference. There are people who like jazz, and some like rock music. IMO, THERE ARE NO BIG DIFFERENCE BETWEEN OLD AND NEW ANIME, except the art styles. I like old and new gundam. I think they have their own plus and minus. It's also the same case with Macross. In old time we got Ghost in the shell, and in 2012 we have psycho pass. Both are great cyber punk sci-fi. If at old times we got yu yu hakusho then in 2011 we got hunter x hunter by the same author. Both are good imo. (I've only watched YYH in my childhood up until vs Toguro brothers though, wait is the name correct?) Until today we still got pokemon and other anime for child. I haven't watched Dragon ball super so I can't compare. One piece is still airing until now. Old franchise like beyblade, Pretty cure, yugioh, always gets new version. There are also anime that adapts old material such as Jojo, parasyte, and reboot of Space battleship Yamato. Even if the source is old, the anime is NEW. Maybe there are other comparison but I'm too lazy to type. Oh well. Old and new anime are good, well, at least in my opinion. |
| I like older anime and casual anime and even so called elitist anime so if it's good or I like it doesn't matter. |
