Kirika_Madeleine said: Sally the Witch the 1967 ver even though this came in black and white but after I rewatch it few months ago I'm surprised that it age well sure animation are stiff, the slice of life and humor dialog are really well-done Sally herself is also good her character growth is well done, this my take I second this. I've seen no other 60s series on the level of Sally, and only one early 70s series. https://myanimelist.net/anime/6868/Wansa-kun I'd rather rewatch Horus Prince of the Sun than half of Ghibli's movies. Royal Space Force Wings of Honneamise aged the best out of all Gainax anime. |

Diebuster, this anime is from 20 years ago and has the most beautiful animation than almost all anime from this year hehe. https://myanimelist.net/anime/1002/Top_wo_Nerae_2_Diebuster?q=diebuster&cat=anime |
 |
| Anime hasn't even been around for long enough to have aged well tbh. |
| Lupin(1973), it's very good and has very good animation. |
 |
| Yu Yu Hakusho was ahead of the curve in terms of barely having any filler for a shounen. Studio Ghibli movies remain timeless in their messages and animation. |
| Magic Rayearth, Flame of Recca, St. Tail and Ghost Fighter are age well. |
 |
| Actually, I think Noir aged pretty well. It was one of the last anime to be cel-shaded so they pushed the limit of what cel-shading is capable of. And organized crime/secret societies are a timeless theme, so it also has that going for it. It aged better than Madlax and El Cazador did. |

| Perfect blue and Serial experiments lain are pretty well known for having their themes become more relevant years after they have released. And there are plenty of other greats that have and will stand the test of time. But one of them that Isn't mentioned often enough imo is death parade. I think the lessons that can be learned from death parade, are more useful now, than they have ever been before. |

| They say that comedies tend to age poorly but I think funny anime from the 80s still hold up extremely well. If we are talking about visuals, 3D CGI tends to age worse than 2D animation which makes the CG sequence in Char's Counterattack all the more impressive. It was so impressive in fact they actually reused it in War in the Pocket the next year. |

| "Haibane Renmei" This series explores the lives of beings born with halos and wings, living in a mysterious town. It's a beautifully animated, introspective anime with deep themes of redemption and self-discovery. "Paranoia Agent" this psychological thriller delves into the collective unconscious of society, exploring themes of fear and societal pressure through a series of interconnected stories. "Texhnolyze": Set in a dystopian future, this anime follows the struggles of different factions in a decaying city. It's known for its dark atmosphere, complex characters, and thought-provoking narrative. (sounds like the city I live in) "The Tatami Galaxy": one of my favorites, it follows a college student reliving his past year in an attempt to find happiness. With its unique storytelling and philosophical undertones, it's a captivating watch because I can personally relate to it. Also Kyoto is such a dreamy place. "Mushishi": A series about a "Mushi Master" who helps people affected by mysterious creatures called Mushi. It's a serene, beautifully animated show with a focus on nature and the supernatural, best to watch before sleeping "Ergo Proxy": A cyberpunk series set in a post-apocalyptic world, it combines elements of mystery, philosophy, and action. The visuals and complex plot make it a standout. "Hyouka" one of my favorites, it's A slice-of-life mystery anime centered around a high school Classics Club, it's a gentle, character-driven story that explores the lives and relationships of its members. "No. 6": A dystopian sci-fi series about a boy who escapes from a seemingly perfect city and discovers a hidden, oppressed world. It's a gripping tale with strong visuals and emotional depth.

| @RainyEvenings I think hyouka was kinda brutal. the story just glossed over most of it. |

| for me that would be 1998 (or toei's) Yu Gi Oh, back before the series was about a card game. i would be lying if i said i wasn't biased, but i really do like the story and characters more than the other series. the animation isn't mind blowing but its still an awesome show that i rewatch often. a different 90s anime (that i think is more popular) would be Cardcaptor Sakura. and an anime from before 1990 would be 80s Astro Boy.  |

| @BigBoyAdvance Damn it's that gif from Escaflowne? It looks amazing. I don't know how I haven't seen it yet. @Jonas-K Also agree on the Diebuster and Gunbuster take. Gunbuster felt so experimental and had so much peaks. Diebuster was just peak Gainax in my opinion. |

@Bidoof_PMD-EOS I just watch recently Magic Knight Rayearth I really like it so what problem with together with Flame of Rebecca (I'm bypass since I watch them on talalog Dub.)
| @Kirika_Madeleine Mostly the staleness of the plot, lack of uniqueness of the setting or powers, and the typical shoujou characters. If you enjoy it, then great. Note that the second season doesn't follow the same plot structure, and gets more repetitive. Flame of Recca I've read, and it's not bad, but it's a generic tournament shounen, same as Hitman Reborn after the first arc, same as Bleach, same as Naruto, History's strongest Disciple Kenichi, Toriko, Beelzebub kinda... apparently also same as the author next work MÄR (Marchen awakens romance), similar to Yu Yu Hakusho, but the gimmick here is Ninja, and it's way less important than the main gimmick of those other shounen. I would say that it's the worse of the ones I listed, since it doesn't really use it's gimmick well, and I felt the characters were a bit too one note. Oh, also similar to Rave Master, especially in that it never actually finished it's adaptation. |
| The first one I think of is Ghost in the Shell Standalone Complex... the entire first season (made 2002) was about a meme Record of Lodoss War for obvious reasons |

| @nachomaxo1 I'm not saying the anime ages, nor am I saying I do (which is the case, of course). Rather, that the perception of it changes based on it's environment and surrounding media. An anime doesn't get objectively worse, the same way you can't ever speak objectively about the quality of an anime, but if less people today were to enjoy it than when it initially airs, that's the meaning we associate to the word aging. If you intend to stick to *aging* being in the physical sense, then yeah that's true, but it's not the argument here. |

| @Lucifrost I guess it's more palpable than the other shows airing around then (looking at YYH, DBZ, Ranma 1/2 and Sailor Moon), but I just don't see it performing as well if it released today compared to Slayers, NGE, Nadesico, Kenshin or such (I can only comment on shows I've actually seen, so I don't have a lot to compare it to) (not that Slayers or Nadesico would stand out much, due to their comedy/parody oriented approach being way more common nowadays). We'll probably see with the remake, I guess. |
