As the title says, this thread is about my huge love for old Japanese animation. It's a very simple thread to express my love for all Japanese animation produced before the 2000s (especially in the 60s, 70s, 80s, but also something from the 90s). I love old Japanese animation for many reasons: - stories: they were always very complex and often full of drama, also when the anime was for kids. - characters: they weren't empty stereotypes, but they were usually well written, with great developments. - art: the animation was often very beautiful, almost every anime had an unique art style, the drawings were handmade and the coloring so warm. - number of the episodes: the series were pretty long, usually they had at least 50 episodes. Well, now I'll link some openings (both Italian and Japanese) of old anime that made my childhood amazing, to celebrate old Japanese animation! I want only that some people can know what Japanese animation used to be in those years. This thread isn't for people who want to start to discuss about how they think today anime are better than old anime. I hope some people can develop some curiosity about old Japanese animation, and to see how various and amazing it was. Let's start! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1hl4vi5I9_w https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EWyq_epmka4 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2Y2VzSY1HIg https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ffkxBqj3mCU https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1fAxpr_OUaE https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BKsI7fSQD0U https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xR2YuQofXiM https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=okI9yKh3pHU https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_oqnzgpXXrI https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z_BvLMXZ9Sc https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uw3TISY-lZ8 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qIJiWjLKGJg https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aemmQKHUrSU https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EpVUzbSYagQ I could continue to link videos forever! Awwww ;__; I feel so nostalgic! Let me know if you want to know the title of some of these amazing anime. Maybe I will continue to link something the next days! |

Problem with a huge amount of older shows is the comedy, it's a huge turnoff for me. That's why shows like City Hunter is not for me. I can't stand the comedy, I think it's way to childish. That's my problem with older shows, but thoes show that does not follow this childish concept is normal really good and I do love the animation. But, we do have way more shows back in the days that falls in this childish concept then shows nowdays. |

maybe you should make a blog post? link it in your signature too if you wish for others to know about it I think back then they did the most they could do with what they had. these day's there's so much potential but it depends on what they should invest their time in as anime is first and foremost a business |

City Hunter isn't good at all in terms of comedy, it's very stereotyped. For some good comedy try Urusei Yatsura or Dr. Slump and Arale. |

Well, another thread of someones comparing the best shows in the history to the current seasonal season to make a claim of how good old used to be... Despite loving older shows, these kind of claims make me cringe hard. It's not fair comparing the best in history vs the current state where the good and the bad are put in the same bag. People always forget the bad, so they can't never move foward. I guess people love to give newer fans reasons for avoiding old shows. |

That it will be follow the same path as Ranma. Ranma was okej, the first 20 ep's or so. But after those few ep's the story didn't progress at all. Each ep's followed the same path for over 130 ep's. They started the same way, the ended the same way and it was always something that happend in the middle of the ep's that got solved in the end. That's the reason why I haven't watched Urusei Yatsura yet, I been having the long running anime in my PW list for years and I heard one of the movies is REALLY damn goat. But still, I can't watch a show if it's the same thing that happens for over 130 ep's. Nothing new happend, it was really a god damn boring anime. And when it comes to 100 + ep's shows. I can't really force myself to watch it for that long. But, hey. I might be wrong. What do you think, does Urusei follow the same path as Ranma ? Or it's have story telling that progress from start to end. |

Urusei Yatsura is better because the humor is less repetitive imho, but if you want a story with progress well it's a big NO. In that case, you should try Maison Ikkoku. |

I've gotten quite interested in older anime as of recently. I want to watch some 60's anime, but unfortunately most of them are really hard to find. For 70's anime, I have seen/plan to see Rose of Versailles, Ashita no Joe, Galaxy Express 999, Lupin III, and a few other space operas. My biggest issue with older anime tends to be the animation, but I can't really blame it. One thing I can blame them for is usually, the looped animation is really poorly done and it's really easy to tell where the loop ends. If there are any great 70's anime you would recommend, or a place to watch some 60's anime, I'd love to hear it! |

About animation, I find really werid when people say that old anime had worse animation than today anime, since I think it's generally the opposite. In modern anime there's barely any animation. This for example is from 1984 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1fAxpr_OUaE This always from the early 80s https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qcqQIt-dF-E How is this animation "bad"? From the 70s, I advise you to watch "Mirai shonen Conan" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XSZQm7x5U5E It's a masterpiece that any anime fan should watch. |

Whether or not the art and animation is superior is a matter of personal preference but your statement about variety is just plain wrong. |

I will show you better pics. The first two: Andrè from Versailles no bara: Terry from Candy Candy Completely different shape of face, eyes, nose...How can you say they are the same? Come on. The second two are drawn by the same character designer, Akemi Takada, so I can't deny they are similar, but not identical. Godai Yusaku from Maison Ikkoku: If you like romance anime, you should try to watch this one. It's a masterpiece! I let you an AMV so you can see how beautiful the art is: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6Of7qrZnWJY Toshio Otomo from Creamy Mami: Again, Akemi Takada draw both of them, so the art style is similar in this case, but they are not identical at all. |

I like older anime as well, but to be fair, some of the points you mentioned aren't exclusive to pre 2000 anime and I don't agree with the "always complex part" either. It's most likely not your intention, but some people with negative prejudice against old anime and it's fans will probably perceive these lines as priggish. |

Do you know why I love old Japanese animation? It's because of the technical side, it was a bit more "hands-on". As in they had to use real lightboxes with color gels underneath the animation stand to give it that "glow" or they had to use textured glass to give it that "shimmer" for the special effects. You don't see that nowadays, it's all done using programs on the computer. |

What's the matter with finding reasons to love periods of anime based on dumb sweeping statements on the other periods of anime? Same for people who'd say similar things about old anime, but hey in this case it's reducing new anime to absurd in order to highlight the older gems. Both kinda stupid. Also yes, there's more variety in current anime. That's a well-established fact. It would be incoherent if it was otherwise. |

I liked him because he was cute and I loved his relationship with Yu. There's plenty of sexy types in anime before the 2000s, but I preferred sweet guys. |

Modern anime guys look posers. "Please look at me, I am so sexy". Please. Old anime guys hadn't this idiotic thing. Andrè for example was sexy because of his personality and great characterization, not because he showed himself in fanservice poses. |

@momoka16 Just my personal preference but curly sideburns are just a huge NOPE. xD I honestly can't stand the way anime guys were drawn before the 90s (Ranma was ok) but for a lack of a better word, most of them looked like total fruitcakes. Like...why are their eyelashes an inch long!? IT'S WEIRD!! XD You can barely tell them apart from the womens!! I'd take Inuyasha over Godai any day, honestly. And no, guys don't HAVE to take their clothes off and pose to be sexy; a truly sexy guy looks good in literally ANYTHING he puts on. |

The fact they were hand drawn is the reason why they had better drawings and animations. Sadly today anime are often mediocre because of CGI and lack of details, animation, good art, etc. When you watch something like this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZY_h_bW8CK0 you can feel some kind of warm that you can't feel in modern anime anymore. |

Like...why are their eyelashes an inch long!? IT'S WEIRD!! XD You can barely tell them apart from the womens!! I'd take Inuyasha over Godai any day, honestly. And no, guys don't HAVE to take their clothes off and pose to be sexy; a truly sexy guy looks good in literally ANYTHING he puts on. Do you even know that Godai and Inuyasha are from manga made by the same artist, Rumiko Takahashi? I got that you prefer HARD face lines rather than SOFT face lines. I am the complete opposite. Also Takahashi art style went from soft to hard progressively. |

Well I like old anime but can't get what the OP is trying to say here. 1. When you love something there is no point to explain why...like proving that you actually do? People wouldn't believe you? Why making a discussion? 2. "stories: they were always very complex and often full of drama" - not always...at least not in my experience. Also "full of drama" is not always a good thing for a story. 3. "characters: they weren't empty stereotypes" - come ooon. You don't actually believe that. And about stereotypes...it highly depends on how they are used. 4. "art: the animation was often very beautiful, almost every anime had an unique art style, the drawings were handmade and the coloring so warm" - now that's subjective and there are enough old titles with botched animation. It's more of a production problem or choice of animators. 5. "number of the episodes: the series were pretty long, usually they had at least 50 episodes" - not all of them and not always a good thing. In some cases the studios were forced to make some horrible cheaply made episodes just to fulfil the contractual obligation. In other cases to squeeze a 100+ episode worth of story into 50 episodes, early cancelled shows ect. The only good number of episodes for a season is the one that fits the production cycle better. 6. "Well, now I'll link some openings" - those are not always a good indication of how the actual show looked and was animated (like OP/ED looking way better because they must promote the show) also they can be misguiding about the content. |
