Just because you don't like the genre of "cute girls doing cute things" doesn't mean it's "bad anime".

yo 30 year old living with his mom still, stfu

I'm watching Future Boy Conan now, shut it old man.

THIS IS NOT KAWAII

THIS IS NOT KAWAII

Go back to watching Cowboy Bebop for the 500th run through and then post another complain thread. This thread is over.

in communist russia...

We watch "cute girl" anime because we just want to relax. You see, we actually have jobs that involve stress and tedium so we want to wind down with our shows, not live out some kiddy childs adventure.

>>34185452
That's because it just is Bad Anime, regardless of wether he like it or not.

>>34185483
Man it's been a rough day.

Watch anime that's actually good, like K-ON.

How old is old?

Just curious.

>>34185452

I don't even know how you can consider that bullshit a genre.

>>34185525
>we actually have jobs

No we don't.

I like old anime as much as the next guy (maybe more actually) but you can only talk about the same shit so much and the older it is the less relevance it has to most of the posters here.

>>34185427
u mad?

Cuz if old is like 'from more than ten years ago' I can totally dig it.

>>34185525

What the fuck am I reading? Since when is it relaxing to watch underage females run around with obnoxious high-pitced voices doing absolutely nothing of cosequence?!

Man, some idiots will try and rationalize ANYTHING.

Why the fuck would we want to talk about old anime? We already did, now we are moving on.

same person.

and also, its like most disgusting genre ever, its like mentaly ill person dream, and its just stupid.

I'd rather rank the girls in various cutesy shows over and pick out one to be my favorite.

Just use the few character archetypes and then randomize the hair color and style, and eye color and you get a new waifu every show.

as much as I do enjoy watching cute girls doing cute things
those kinds of shows are trash,
trash that i like to watch
but trash nonetheless.

i don't like old anime if you like you have no respect from me.

Fullmetal Alchemist is leagues above Fist of the North Star.

There, I said it.

Rapeman is watching you masturbate

OP, you're a fucking moron.

>>34185792
You misspelled Code Geass

I guess I'll say this since no one else has realized it, OP is 14.

>>34185721
>Black Lagoon on a "shittiest anime of the last decade" list

I raged.

I think anime has a much larger range than other shows. It's like webcomics, which can be action, humor, romance, and any blend in between. Liking the cutesy girls is no different than liking soaps.

I think the fact that anime is japanese in origin, something separate from our culture, that seems to place the magnifying glass on the argument.
I must say that Sailor Moon was pathetic once I realized how the guy only showed up, recited a poem, threw a flower, and left. It's no different from Naruto when Sakura cries about how sasuke or someone else is hurt though, so it's more about what you like. I must say that some of Kon makes me laugh, some of it makes me smile, and some of it is just not that interesting to me. Guys and girls interact with their own gender differently, so in a way the perspective is interesting, but in another it's not.

>>34185758

Oh wow, I was just watching Shin vs Neo today.

19 here ,OP I appreciate the older anime as well fuck this moe bullshit

>Liking the cutesy girls is no different than liking soaps.

Both are horrible genres created to milk the lowest common denominator.

>>34185833
>
> guy & haggar undercover.jpg

>>34185846
Why yes, Fullmetal Alchemist is also leagues better than Code Geass. Not quite as many leagues as it is above FotNS though.

I tried watching City Hunter a few months back, didn't seem like such a bad show except for the fact that it was completely episodic. I can't watch episodic series, there's no draw, no feeling and requirement to want to watch the next episode.
Which is what I like about battle shounen.

There's plenty of good modern anime, /a/ just ignores it in favor of moeshit because it's a hive of closet pedophiles.

>>34185925
I raged more at Planetes.

>I can agree that Eva deserved to be remade, I mean, how many episods was there? 24? It should have had a lot more than that.

>Why did Evangelion and Elfen Lied have so few episodes and pure faggotry such as naruto have so many of them?!?

>>34185721

>There is no character development, except that the main guy picks up smoking at the end. (It means that he became cool.)

Wow. It's like he didn't even watch it.

I'm currently marathoning Sailor Moon.

Happy now OP?

>>34186228

I don't care if you watch one of the worst and most mainstream anime of my time, I'm talking about old anime in general. At least in the time of Sailor Moon there wasn't dozens of other shows just like it being mass produced.

>>34185721
>Also, Osaka is a stupid, annoying bitch, and she isn’t cute at all.
I mad. I mad as all hell.

I like this thread

>>34185427

Oh right, probably because Doronjo.

Ever wonder why new anime don't look like anime from the 80's?

Anime from the 80's died from AIDS from being gay. True story[/spoiler[

If you cannot appreciate how delightfully expressive Heartcatchs artstyle is you have no right to lecture us about taste.

The good animes like north star fist or Knight of the Zodiac I watched when i was young were the people who created them by talent.

now people are trying too hard to get what is good instead of just letting the mind go pressurelessly.
Too much pressure is driving them nuts.

We may see another one when the talents are running again.

>>34186515

Some of my favorite anime is old.

Pic related.

>>34186640
Forgot my pic.

>>34186680
>>34186640
Quite...

>>34186652

Votoms is good shit.

HeartCatch is terrific visually.

I just wish fagsubbers would include chapter marks for the transformation scenes and other recurring shit so I can skip that crap.

>>34186641
Saint Seiya is actually next on my list after I finish Sailor Moon.

Love me some 80s/90s Toei animation.

OP is old ewwwwwwwww

>>34186371

What? I was just making the point that there is a plethora of anime that you probably haven't even heard of from that same time period. There are plenty of good anime that are popular, but I'd expect someone who considers themselves an avid anime fan to be able to name something other than a mainstream anime.

>>34186370

But my wife is meh and my kids are assholes, I'd much rather pay attention to people on an imageboard. NEVER GET MARRIED

I fucking love old shojo, but I haven't really found any good ones from the 70s/80s aside from Rose of Versailles and some old Keiko Takemiya movies.

>>34186827
Yet you say

>one of the worst and most mainstream anime of my time

which is hilarious considering how excellent and genre defining of a show Sailor Moon was. And you have fucking FotNS in your OP and you're trying to preach us about "niche" anime?

The 90's = Golden age of anime

Prove me wrong.

>>34186956
THIS
Is this any good?
I work at an auction field and some guy gave me a shitton of old anime vhs tapes, and this series was with them.

I still like this series and I haven't seen it in years. Wish i could find a good torrent of it.

>>34186986
Anyone born in the 70's and 80's and loves anime should have watched Sailormoon.

I watched them all when I was a kid.

Sailor Stars was fucking stupid though.

>>34186986

Eh, I think I see where you're confused. I should clairfy that I said "worst AND most mainstream" which was to distinguish "mainstream" from worst'. To put it simply: I didn't mean that mainstream anime are the worst anime. I was just stating that a mainstream anime was particularly bad and unfair to point to when there were plenty of other shows to compare it to unlike today where most shows are the same.

>>34186460

>>34187190

No, it is just that cartoons in both hemispheres were great back then, now they are shit in both hemispheres.

Slayers
Slam Dunk
Saint Seiya
Sailor Moon
Magic Knight Rayearth
Ranma 1/2
Dragon Half

Those were the days.

Don't live in a past, OP. Try to move on and get some diversions. Not all newer anime are said 'cute girls doing cute things'. It's just you who hate them for some reason. About old anime? Cowboy Bebop, Outlaw Star, Lain, etc. are still talking/praising about here occasionally so you don't need to burst like a child here.

You guys are just deluding yourself in nostalgia. There was plenty of mass produced shit back then as well but instead of moe it was all about sex/violence. That shit is forgotten over time and you only remember the gems.-

There have been an incredible amount of unique and creative shows in the last few years as well.

>>34187331
I have no idea.

>>34187334

I'm about to finish the first City Hunter and will probably go through the rest over the next few months.

You know, doing a thread like this (recommending and talking about old anime) is a great idea.

But why do you have a smug condescending ass about it? Does nothing but provoke trolling.

I'll just leave this here.

I'm watching Kämpfer right now and I'm enjoying it.

>>34187552
Some people can't appreciate the past and the present equally at the same time.

When it's so obvious, you just forget about it.

>>34187687
Yes, OP clearly wasn't trolling with phrases like

>Fuck new shit, you fucking young kids haven't even seen a tiny increment of the shit that came out when I was a teenager.

CAuse moe wasn't around in the 80's amiright?

>>34187760
It's awesome by default along with Voltron.

I don't understand the hatred between the fans of old anime and fans of new anime. I like both! There have been great, mediocre and bad stuff from both times Admit it...Wedding Peach was a piece of shit..

>>34187826
It just wasn't popular yet

>>34187826
Last time I checked...Tetsuwan Atom invented moe.

>>34187874
It wasn't pathetically obvious either.

>>34187845
>Admit it...Wedding Peach was a piece of shit

Why you have to do this to me man...

Can't we all just get along?

It was the "wedding version" of Sailor Moon...it was bad...Saint Tail was a whole lot better than that show.

make a thread about old anime

>>34188020
>Harlock about to crash into the Galaxy Express.

>>34188050
Yeah it's not on par with Sailor Moon and others (and had that cringeworthy wedding gimmick) but I still really enjoyed it ;_;

80s and 90s anime was pretty good. Less QUALITY and more character. Female characters were also better back then too.

>>34187613
>Probably the most beautiful ovas ever made. I heard it was compleatly hand drawn.

What else would they use in the early 90s?

Paintbrush?

Pee on canvas?

>>34188152
Shitload more shading too.

>>34188166
I hope you're joking.

>>34188152
moeshit before it was called moeshit itt

>>34188211
It's not like they used digital animation in the early 90s.

>>34188020
Whoever drew that is my hero.

>>34188256
They did actually...Beauty and the Beast's ballroom scene was all computer generated and that was made in 1990.

Congrats, you're an oldfag. It's called golden age syndrome. Pop in some VHS tapes and chill the fuck out, and let those damn crazy kids watch what they feel like watching; just like you did.

Posting a show that was only mentioned once...

The truth is, I haven't seen a whole lot of "old" anime. It's only since like 10 years or so high-speed internet came about, and that's hardly old enough to be called old.

>>34185925
Oh, god, really?

>fuck you it's coming back, yo.

I find it much more hilarious that these self proclaimed oldfags are still immature enough to have My Taste > Your Taste syndrome.

>>34188237
Formulaic? Perhaps. Moeshit? No no no. Moe is a much more recent development.

>>34188545
It's not that anime has gotten shittier, it's because, since the internet has exploded, shittier anime is more accessible than it once was.
That said, these studios need to step it up.
The only anime I've seen this season (other than FMA:B) that has the potential to last a while is Arakawa, and you never know how an anime like that will fare in the future.

Rewatched this a few weeks ago, and it still holds up damn well in comparison to the stuff nowadays.

Good anime is good anime, no matter when it was made.

>>34188642
Tatami Galaxy? House of Five Leafs? Heartcatch Precure?

Out of all these things you pick the Shaft show?

>>34188474
Urusei Yatsura is already 32 years old.

Damn.

>>34187976
sauce pleaseee

>>34186109

I raged far more at both

>>34188732
Say what you like about Shaft, but this anime is actually legitimately funny, and for me that's tough to do (especially with subs). RAINBOW's not too bad either, I suppose.

What about this, not sure it's "good" but it is damn sure old.

>>34188796
let the dude vent, it's better than the countless K-On threads we get on here.

>>34188732
Brotherhood is pretty good too, and consistent...which is important these days.

Wow, this is cool

Ah yes, the 80s/90s where instead of moe you had straight up pedophile OVAs that make todays hentai look tame.

Those were the times right?

I enjoyed this thread.

We should do this more often.

On Death Note:
>The genius main character became an idiot, the people who caught him were a bunch of annoying little kids, they only won by pure luck, and even the plot made no sense. The good guys don’t always have to win. If this show had the balls to let the villain win, it would have been unforgettable

>>34188949
More Bubblegum Crisis and Samurai Pizza Cats next time would be nice...

>>34189003
All valid points.
But it doesn't deserve a spot on that list.
It was a novel concept that no anime thought of before.
That gets bonus points.

>>34189003
I don't get it...didn't Death Note end after L died?

>>34188840
Nonono I like almost everything Shaft does to some extent. It's just bizarre that a thread with seemingly elitist nostalgiafags swearing on moe chooses a Shaft show out of all the stuff this season.

>>34189063
/a/ works in mysterious ways.

>>34189052
Death Note had a great plot. What made it shitty was that Light was a self-insert character who was impossibly good at everything.

>>34189003

>implying Light wasn't right

>>34189063
from what I've watched, there may be more to it, and it's progressing very well.
For me, it's already better than Bakemonogatari.

>>34189003

Oh well, I smelled troll and didn't even bother to read, just saw the titles...
But, by this point of view, he's pretty much correct.
Regardless, I dropped Death Note 3 or 4 episodes after Near and Mello were introduced to the plot.

>>34189122
except being humble, lol

QUALITY

>>34188949
Next time cut out the elitist attitude and maybe you guys can actually convince some of these "fucking young kids" to check some classics out.

>>34189319

Man the 90s were so great. Just look at these bland colors.

So how old does an anime need to be to be considered old?

Motherfucking peacock king movies. all of them. kk

>>34189399
At least a decade I guess...

>>34189399
pre-Cowboy Bebop seems to be an acceptable cutoff point.

>>34189178
you do realize thats his caster holster right?

>>34189399

I'd say a decade and since it's 2010, basically anything of quality before the new millenium.
