These are my reasons on why I prefer classic anime to modern anime (and this is why I hate modern anime). I haven't seen a whole lot of anime so don't insult me if I made a mistake because I'm sorry, I don't watch a lot of anime! 1. They don't got very bratty characters in them. A lot of anime especially nowadays got tsunderes in them or just selfish, immature, whiny people. I like nice people, I don't like mean people. 2. They are more cheerful and optimistic. They can have funny and silly moments in them and moments that make me smile. Don't have to worry about a bunch of serious moments moments such as crying or fighting. I like people being happy, it makes me happy, too. 3. There's not a lot of ecchi, fanservice, or sex in them. 4. Not a lot of cliches, stock characters or stereotypes. 5. They don't overstay their welcome. 6. They don't rely on moe. 7. They have some action and story in them and are not just bland, storyless, all-over-the-place slice of life stories. 8. Some of them aren't really gory or full of graphic violence or whatever. I do know an anime I hate called Neon Genesis Evangelion that had some of these things in there, also Perfect Blue was too violent so they don't count. |

Let's put here why those reasons are shit one by one. 1. There's always been shitty characters in anime. 2. What are you talking about, anime nowadays is FAR more happy. 3. Bullshit. 4. ...I can't say anything in this one. 5. What does this even mean? 6. Nor it does now. 7. Bullshit (Again) 8. Bullshit (How do you get so many things backwards?) Watch more anime. And stop making shit threads. Edit: Wait, If you hate Evangelion, why do you have an avatar of it? |

You called? @Ericonator Another goddamn modern version classic anime thread?! It's sad that I'm not even surprised. To you, OP, I recommend a YouTube channel series called Anime Abandon. He will prove you so wrong on number 4 and to a lesser extent 8 (since not it's a fairy to see a modern anime not only be truly graphic but also uncensored) Also, a lot of stories even nowadays are action series (usually nowadays, they're series that do in fact have a lot of action but aren't solely action-oriented). Re:Zero, Kabaneri (which is the one of the only two that is insanely action-based), Attack on Titan (the other one of two in this category), anything Fate related (even nowadays since there are so many that have come out this decade), Re:Creators, Hand Shakers, Big Order, Taboo Tattoo, The Asterisk War, Chivalry of a Failed Knight, Hundred, Boruto, My Hero Academia, and I could go on with action shows from the past 3 years alone. |

@SpaghettiSpike @Ericonator Please treat the thread nicely. I do not like to see people insulting others just because of their naivety or because they don't agree with their opinions on fictional stuff. I'm sorry but I don't watch a whole lot of anime and I would take sweet, happy, and action anime over story less, serious, and obscene anime |

How does your thought process lead you from 'I know I have no idea what I'm talking about' to 'Let's make a thread about this!'? I don't understand people sometimes. If you're aware you're just making bullshit generalizations without being able to back them up with actual data/experience, then why make them? This is actually worse than people legitimately being too stupid to realize that they are making bullshit generalizations. But you know and still decided this thread should exist. Shame on you, sir. Also judging from your list like 95% of your 7+ rated anime are movies so you're basically judging the whole medium based on one subset of it that works very differently from the rest. |
I probably regret this post by now. |

Moe means so much more than just cute girls. Like a specific kind of cuteness/attraction. If it was just cuteness in general it wouldn't need it's own term :>. It means so much moe than cute girls ^^ the point being that when something doesn't even exist as a seperate concept yet it might still exist one way or the other if you analyze in retrospect, but you won't have producers asking for anime to be 'moe' or make a 'moe anime' when the term isn't even a thing yet. it won't be put there on purpose. So in that sense 80s and anime before didn't have 'moe'. |

Saying these while also saying that you haven't seen a lot of anime... No offense dude, but if you want to go and make these type of statements, you should have at least some amount of experience when it comes to anime watching... Also I have to agree with @CodeBlazeFate but I also want to add that anime is more... varied, than in classic anime. There's a lot for different demographics and niches than ever. Of course, there's less variables for "certain" people, but you can't really call it BS when you think about it, somehow. |

Hi, @pinkarray. I'm going to take you in the most positive context, and thank you for being one to give classic anime a chance. While I can't fault someone who doesn't like older art designs/dated music/whatever because it's all personal preference, it will inevitably lead someone to miss out on some great series. That being said, there's always been good and bad shows. Trendsetters and copycats. Highbrow mindbenders and obviously cheap cash-ins. And of course, there's always been the classics vs modern argument, even back in the early 90s when all we had to argue on was Usenet newsgroups and Bulletin Board Systems. It's funny how the modern titles being called crap back then are considered classic anime today, even if only by age. There are differences, of course - setting the obvious technical differences aside, because it wasn't the basis for your post - I think it's really difficult to compare different eras of anime in terms of more/less moe/fanservice/story quality/character quality/violence. This is because all shows, anime or not, are the product of their times. I remember, for example, the premiere of Blue Seed being criticized in Japan for being too violent for its time slot, but I doubt anyone would bat an eye over its content, today. The general consensus changes with the times. I guess what I'm trying to say is that I've been hearing the same arguments that the classics were better, anime is dying, real fans only watch subs, anime is too violent/sexist, why are there no original ideas anymore, anime is too expensive, you have shit taste, casuals are ruining the industry, "Popular Anime X" is overrated so I will bash it like the other 90% of fans do, etc etc etc for decades, it never changes. It's great that you enjoy the classics but it's not really fair to stereotype modern anime the way you are, especially when it's really easy to argue in the same fashion but in reverse. Just find good shows and enjoy them regardless of age. |

Again not really true because of the above reason, in fact restrictions were lessened back then, no mysterious holy light of chastity to cover up the naughty bits 4. These classic shows are where the cliches originated so of course they're still there. 5. In the 80's and 90's, series actually ran longer and for many more seasons than the norm is today, overstaying their welcome much more often EX: Urusei Yatsura, Maison Ikkoku, etc. 6. Maybe not to the level they have it now but cute things doing cute stuff was always around since early on. 7. This isn't really anything unique to older anime, you can find these types of titles now. 8. Again see reason 2 above. The 80s and 90s are known for violent content too. Not that have anything against older anime in fact I advocate watching a variety of shows from every genre, demographic, or age that interests you. Just because there are new anime constantly coming out doesn't mean that there aren't good ones you might have missed. Conversely, I don't think burying my head figuratively in the sand of older titles is the right move either and one should at least try to find new titles to enjoy also. Boalance of both old and new is best. |

I like people being happy, it makes me happy, too. 3. There's not a lot of ecchi, fanservice, or sex in them. 4. Not a lot of cliches, stock characters or stereotypes. 5. They don't overstay their welcome. 6. They don't rely on moe. 7. They have some action and story in them and are not just bland, storyless, all-over-the-place slice of life stories. 8. Some of them aren't really gory or full of graphic violence or whatever. I do know an anime I hate called Neon Genesis Evangelion that had some of these things in there, also Perfect Blue was too violent so they don't count. 1. Sorry but annoying characters in anime are universal regardless of age. 2. If you think this you must not not have seen very many movies or OVAs from the 80's and 90s. 3. Again not really true because of the above reason, in fact restrictions were lessened back then, no mysterious holy light of chastity to cover up the naughty bits 4. These classic shows are where the cliches originated so of course they're still there. 5. In the 80's and 90's, series actually ran longer and for many more seasons than the norm is today, overstaying their welcome much more often EX: Urusei Yatsura, Maison Ikkoku, etc. 6. Maybe not to the level they have it now but cute things doing cute stuff was always around since early on. 7. This isn't really anything unique to older anime, you can find these types of titles now. 8. Again see reason 2 above. The 80s and 90s are known for violent content too. Not that have anything against older anime in fact I advocate watching a variety of shows from every genre, demographic, or age that interests you. Just because there are new anime constantly coming out doesn't mean that there aren't good ones you might have missed. Conversely, I don't think burying my head figuratively in the sand of older titles is the right move either and one should at least try to find new titles to enjoy also. Boalance of both old and new is best. I don't avoid all new anime because that isn't fair. There are a few new anime I enjoy. Brb said: This is high quality retardation.

sunako199 said: invalid reasonings there will always be an annoying character in any anime just quit it Well everyone is annoying at some point in their lives. I'm not saying they should be perfect little goody-two-shoes because nobody is like that. But plain selfish and bratty characters make me hate them. rvbrick said: I generally prefer older anime (No nostalgia involved as I didn't grow up with it, I just prefer the art style and as a science fiction nut, the plots of a lot of older anime appeal to me way more than the average modern anime) but I have to say, your reasons aren't particularly valid. Annoying characters are present in all eras of anime. Serious storytelling is present in most eras of anime (the earliest examples I can think of being the original Lupin series, where our hero acts like a criminal, and Space Battleship Yamato, where the narrator mentions the Earth is doomed at the end of every episode and people die left and right). Ecchi mostly stayed out of anime before the OVA boom, so I'll give you that. At least, the super annoying kind of ecchi that makes anime look embarrassing. There are most certainly cliches, stock characters, and stereotypes in all eras of anime. Granted, they're not as noticeable (because the market wasn't flooded with anime, and all of the worst offenders never got licensed/have never been fansubbed) but they're still there. There are plenty of really long anime. Hell, there's also a lot of 40+ episode anime that could've told the exact same story in just 26 episodes (sorry, Space Pirate Captain Harlock). Yes, there are far less "cute girls doing cute things" shows in the pre-digital era, barely any, really. #7 is a huge generalization. Just because the majority of the run of the mill, made to sell Blu Rays anime are slice of life or bad LN adaptations doesn't mean that there aren't still good story driven shows still being made. But yes, there are less of them. And #8... well, you could potentially have a point because EVA paved the way for the late-night anime with more graphic violence seen in the early 2000s, but Boogiepop Phantom counts as an "old anime" and it's the most graphic and unsettling anime I've ever seen. ...as usual with these kinds of threads, you have a point, but your own ignorance prevents you from expressing it clearly. I know that there were some serious storytelling back in the old days but not to the point where I'd hate it like now. |

Neither. They're both great in their own ways. I can easily switch up from watching this (https://myanimelist.net/anime/1372/Taiho_Shichau_zo_1996?q=199) to this (https://myanimelist.net/anime/30276/One_Punch_Man?q=One%20) in a heartbeat. No need for choosing either or. |

I haven't seen a whole lot of anime so don't insult me if I made a mistake because I'm sorry, I don't watch a lot of anime! 1. They don't got very bratty characters in them. A lot of anime especially nowadays got tsunderes in them or just selfish, immature, whiny people. I like nice people, I don't like mean people. 2. They are more cheerful and optimistic. They can have funny and silly moments in them and moments that make me smile. Don't have to worry about a bunch of serious moments moments such as crying or fighting.

Some of them aren't really gory or full of graphic violence or whatever. I do know an anime I hate called Neon Genesis Evangelion that had some of these things in there, also Perfect Blue was too violent so they don't count. 1. Some yes, but also old anime... Kasumi from Pokemon and Kagome from Inuyasha have annoying tsundere moments. They started < 2000 - 2000. Okay and from what I already know from your list comments: you will judge and call everyone whiny, who cries or struggles. It's not the character's fault from being "too human". It's about your point of view / the audience's empathy and accepting a character crying and having a break down, because he is human and not some sort of flawless hero. There is also a big difference between a bratty tsundere and characters, who are mean sometimes. Even sunshine people aren't angels, you know. You are very (far too) quick to judge others feelings, sry. Just give it a try to understand in the first place and judge in the second, will you? ^^" 2. Well I also watch Cowboy Bebop atm and lol... There are tons of modern comedy anime out there. Don't like drama? Don't go for the drama? XD 3. Putting sex in a story is something different than Ecchi and fanservice. A five minute implied or half-shown sex scene in a RL-film doesn't change the movie genre into porn either. Contrariwise, some sex scenes are just beautiful, because of the beforehand built up relationship. If you root for a pair you are waiting for a(n aesthetic potrayed) sex scene or at least a kiss... The problem with sex is the portrayal not the sex per se. Anime don't must be childfriendly by all cost. Aaaand sometimes people are just horny for each other tho. I'm no fan of it, but it's legitimate to portray a short sex scene out if those situations as well. Maybe to characterize one person better. 4. There were always cliches. People are telling fictional stories since ... dawn of mankind? XD The medium was comparatively new, the cliches were very old. The Japanese culture also had existed for thousands years and has its own mindset. Btw, there the same motifs and archetypes all around the world anyway. 5. Huh!? 6. So many modern anime don't. Also I get your point there, because there is too much of it. But again: The problem is the portrayal, not cute characters in general. 7. You don't have to watch modern anime, if you don't like the style or whatever, but this is very unfair against the authors. 8. You said that they are all "storyless SOL" in 7. Now they are all gore? Not every SOL is School Days, you know. XD and there is also fantasy... plenty of fantasy. |
