M.D. Geist

A B-Movie Quality Anime if ever I'd seen one.

Shitty animu from 80's were not traumatizing,.

If it was only the blood.. when Dragon Ball Kai(Z) censored Goku's dick, i think of how that delicious Bulma's fanservice would be in a Kai version. Yep no nudity at all.

Fuck this generation.

anime had shadows back then

Nice OST.

Back when animu heroes were actually manly.

Clearly new anime has no gore at all and is all moeshit.

>>43210615
It's an OVA.

Also, Devilman was fucking great!

Remembering gory shows is all fun and everything but there's no need to drag in the Old vs New debate. I myself enjoy OVAs filled with schlock so let's keep the threads about them instead of bitter arguing.

You're a great guy if you read this with my dub voice.

In a couple of years, people will boast how great the 00's were, and will only remember classics that MADHOUSE, Gainax, Bones, Production IG, Noitamina, etc. put out. 80's will be forgotten, the same way you faggots don't give a shit about late 60s and 70s, when anime really began to took form.

>>43211559
That's because there were like 6 anime worth mentioning in the 60s. People still remember some anime from the 70s by the way.
Chances are you don't.

>>43211602
Hey which one is 4-B. I'm on the verge of naming them all but I need a hint or something here.

u.s. manga corps used to have a lot of gory anime. too bad i didn't know the titles of many of them because i was too much of a pussy to watch them

>>43211602
Why is Lupin on there twice? Several of the other series listed had TV shows and films and they only get one spot.

I recognize just about everything except for some of those mecha series, which I know I've heard the titles to before, but I can't tell them all apart, except for Mazinger Z. What's 3F?

what does /a/ think of Berserk?

>>43211602
>E5
Rotte Anne!

>>43211559
That's a naive to some extent

True many will look back fondly on the 00s as their formative years, but the truth of the matter is animation quality didn't really reach a level that can be appreciated by the modern eye until the 80s and even then it was dicey. Incidentally the mature anime movement of OVAs didn't really start until the 80s either. And the 80s were a time when anime really started to emerge in the Western mainstream if only modestly.

The 80s remains a time of mixed feelings for anime as many of its traits still bear those of the 70s and the 90s. None the less this is the point most oldschool fans find their starting ground for any number of reasons

50s-70s - Blossoming Generation: Anime emerges as a media-type akin to that of western cartoons following in the creative footsteps of a select few, growing as a genre through slow but progressive experimentation.

80s-90s - Media Boom Generation: 1. Emergence of mainstream anime as a mature story telling format with the VHS enabled boom of OVAs & Movies. 2. Heavy influence from popular Western media. 3. Increased focus on adapting materials other than manga to Anime.

00s - Low Cost Anime / Otaku centered Generation: 1. OVA format becomes largely irrelevant. 2. Lower cost of Anime allows more anime to be made into TV rather than OVAs & Movies resulting in a major shit in what source material gets adapted to anime and what can be shown. 3. The stagnation of the Anime industry near the end of the 90s and gradual disappearance of the mainstream audience due to the population freeze of the recession (which started in 1987) results in a time of over all drastic change and faltering creativity. Once popular genres start becoming financial disasters. Anime adapts to the niche pre-existing audience of older Otaku and becomes increasingly niche.

>>43212022
Destrado is that you?

>>43212220
>OVA format becomes largely irrelevant.

Just looking at the chart for the following season:

>Tamayura
>Roberta's Blood Trail
>Supernatural
>Mazinkaiser
>Koisento
>Princess Resurrection
>Goulart Knights
>Tailenders
>KnK

Modern anime can still be pretty damn gory when they have a mind to be.

Next season in particular does have a large amount of OVAs but compared to the percentage of anime that were OVAs in 80s and early 90s it's nothing.

>>43211602
So much Go Nagai anime.

that was back when anime where just straight up cool hot chicks and badasses recking peoples shit

>>43212403
just because you can come up with a cherry picked list doesn't change the fact that OVAs have by an large gone to the wayside from what they once were in terms of OVA / TV ratio.

You simply don't understand the context.

If someone had said OVAs dissapeared altogether, you'd have an argument, but listing just a handful doesn't make a convincing argument in this case.

>>43213042
>>43213124
You're becoming too noticeable, guy. I see you literally every day in these threads, being a complete faggot. Take a chill for a few weeks, then come back.

Shigurui. Nuff said.

Anime, like most entertainment, is mostly geared towards what the audience wants to see. Remember Heavy Metal, Akira, that kind of old, bloody gritty style was in comics too. As the audience has gotten bigger (and more mainstream) they've moved away from it. They were catering to people who wanted to watch something violent. Now, there's more people who want to watch something animated with a better story or characters rather than stuff like Kite / Mezzo Forte. There's still specialty stuff (like I said, Shigurui) but the majority of it isn't going to be in that niche.

>>43213145
well just ignore this guy

>>43212740
>>43212906
>>43213118

and yeah, it's actually been a pretty mature thread honestly inspite of it being a thread on /a/.

I love these threads. This is the kind of anime I grew up with. Oddly enough I still like present day anime too. Just not Moe.

>>43212867
Man I havent watched animu in a long time. Just catching up so I do appologize for my lack of knowledge and kindly request assistance. Thanks you for trying

>>43212842
We've been having threads recently about giving sauce to newfags, whether we should post spoilers when people are too fucking lazy to lurk, etc. There are recommendation charts, other websites with rankings for series, etc. This is mostly a place to discuss what you've already watched. If you haven't seen anything you have nothing to contribute so why should we pander to your newfaggotry? Lurk moar or GTFO

>>43213250
same

just annoys me how defensive /a/ is of the newer stuff, especially when it isn't even getting attacked.

>>43213227
>and yeah, it's actually been a pretty mature thread honestly inspite of it being a thread on /a/.

if you honestly want more threads like this, and if you really mean it. then yall should star them without being condescending, or beign huge nostalgia faggots that can't shut up about moe. you know, just discussing old shows without shitting on new ones.

thats where "ragefags" come, not from you enjoying old shows but shitting on shows you don't like instead of just enjoying your shit.

>>43213290
Why such a self important sense of superiority?

Is it really that hard to save the person the trouble of looking it up or reverse searching an image?

Everyone is new to something at some point, just as you were. Your attitude is what is making /a/ such an uptight elitist.

>>43213270
Look man, I understand why you're being so defensive right now. To prevent being detected in the future, I seriously recommend to tweak your writing style. Maybe use capital letters when you should, and more commas.

>>43213360
the OP made no mention of moe and was being fairly comical about its nostalgia-faggotry. You don't think the OP actually talks like that do you.

And he was right in predicting ragefags, because here you are.

You over react to everything and look for any excuse to start a fight. Maybe if you weren't so insecure we wouldn't have problems of old vs new popping up so frequently since you seem to be the one who instigates them each and every time.

>>43213367
someone post the screenshots.

LOLH
Shiki
and this, just to name a few modern anime with blood

>>43213385
> I'm an english teacher, I know stuff

listen dude, I know why you're so butthurt. You have an inferiority complex regarding newer anime. I know and it burns you everytime someone talks about older anime because it seems like the stuff you like isn't good enough for them. But you're going to have to realize that people will like things that you don't. It's all a part of growing up champ.

>>43213478
I'm not an English teacher, and English isn't even my first language. Surprisingly, I also enjoy both old and modern anime.

Keep projecting YOUR butthurt onto others.

>>43213367
You are way off, namefag. I'm sure another thread will pop up soon so you can see how wrong you are. It's not that we expect people to recognize every anime series in existence or spend hours searching for something obscure.

Here's the reality: saucefags ask what something is without reading the filename. There's a manga image with the source right on the picture, and they ask what it is. They go into the "great gifs" threads where people are posting fight scenes from series that are usually shit-tier except for a few good animations, and ask for sauce. They ask where they should stream this from, why they can't get MPC to work, why their VLC won't take screenshots, etc.

It's not elitist to expect you not to be such a faggot. If you're looking for new stuff to watch, websites with series rankings are much better than sitting here for hours waiting for people to suggest something good. This place is mostly about the current season and what's popular rather than "good stuff you should watch." There are better places to find that if that's what you want. There are recommendations charts for people just getting started with anime.

What we are reacting to is not the one guy asking for sauce but the thousands of newfags being retards. Maybe if you weren't such a newfag, you'd understand.

>>43213385
Because your continued rage posts aren't at all detectable or obvious.

I've noticed these threads popping up every day now too for about a week too. And every time it seems like just one person sagefags or attacks the thread causing the greater share of the drama and grief. This is (I assume) you. Deny it, you always have in the other threads, but it remains clear that you're the one here to make sure no one enjoys the thread. And when you get tired, as you always do, you'll claim its their own fault for feeding a troll.

Grow up.

>>43213546
>>43213555
If you're so bitter and angry, why don't you try doing something you enjoy rather than trying to ruin someone's thread?

>>43213570
I have no idea what you're talking about. I rarely sage, and I don't attack the thread, but a particular poster.

I love fish girls.

>>43213422
>the OP made no mention of moe and was being fairly comical about its nostalgia-faggotry.
and thats why this thread didn't turn to utter shit. see my point?
>And he was right in predicting ragefags, because here you are.

>You over react to everything and look for any excuse to start a fight. Maybe if you weren't so insecure we wouldn't have problems of old vs new popping up so frequently since you seem to be the one who instigates them each and every time.

how am I raging? This is like my second post in the thread and its far from RAGECAP. I know we all want people to be some sorta caricature but no. I like this threads, and I want more of them. But starting them up by insulting a bunch of people and their shows its not the way to due so.

To the rest that didn't know what baccano was.
Just stop trying to pretend you have been here for more than a month and shitting up the thread.

Anime has become more PC due to the international market from what I hear.

Supposedly they tone it down because they want to be big hits in the US and they know that in the US they appreciate censorship or some BS like that.

That said I miss red blood (thanks Bleach), more brutal violence (like certai ndecapitations in Saint Seiya), and the days of female frontal nudity not being relegated to fucking Seinen.

>>43213614
Not the same guy. We've had many threads recently about saucefags and all I have to do now is copy old posts here. When somebody says "surely you must be elitist, expecting somebody to know every series that ever existed. Or to have a basic understanding of google." Then I pick an old post and paste it.

Back on topic...

God I love M.D. Geist

So campy and 80's lol-action

Yet there's something endearing about it's designs and simplicity. Am I alone here, I honestly doubt anyone looking back from the vantage of newer material could really enjoy it, sans the nostalgia and 80s appeal it probably just seems awful to most fans these days.

ignore the troll

post more gore and bloody anime

Anyone remember an old 80s anime about guys using martial arts to make eachother's heads explode?

>>43211660

I consider Escaflowne to be the pinacle for Top Quality anime.

I seriously think it's one of the greatest television shows ever...

>>43213722
The sort of thing that's big in the US now (Naruto ect) has never been very violent. On the other hand, the sort of super violent gory stuff OP is talking about was especially big in the West. Most Japanese fans probably don't know who Kawajiri is for example.

>>43213765
Never seen it, looks kind of generic.

Want to check out Baoh and Genocyber thanks to this thread though.

>>43213826
>post more gore and bloody anime

Tell me honestly, is this the only reason you worship old anime? Gore and blood?

Waiting for deadman wonderland anime to save us.

Am I the only one that had Guy: Double Target way back during the clamshell VHS days? I was always curious why they didn't make more. Sure it was a Devilman rip-off, but what a glorious rip-off it was.

>blood thread
>no 3x3 Eyes

Liters and liters. Yakumo was a walking blood bank.

>>43213722
>Supposedly they tone it down

Depends what you mean by tone it down. They probably aren't going to make an anime for an international audience in mind that's lolicon or some other controversial topic in nature. On the contrary, North American anime fans love violence. Violent shows tend to get licensed here really fast in the west.

>>43213920
It's probably because that's the point of this thread...

>>43213920
And why can't he? Isn't there lots of people that worship k-on, strike witches, etc? I bet their reasons are even more pitiful.

>>43213870
So true

Hard to believe it bombed so badly in Japan and was cut short as a result.

Meanwhile stuff like Gundam 00 gets endless funding thrown at it only to deliver a mediocre gundam rein visioning with a bad second season.

Also, I'm not too familiar with genre terms but is there a term for the style of show Gundam 00 tried to emulate as opposed to other gundams. The really pretty boys, androgynous super pilots and unrealistically voluptuous women seems so typical of more modern shows but I have no clue what term might go for it. Maybe nothing?

this

>This thread

I fucking love you sometimes /a/

>>43213920
Not the person who you're responding to but tits, blood, and gore was what made 80's anime for a lot of fans. There's nothing like going into the video store renting something like Genocyber, having no idea what it's about, and popping the tape in at home to witnessing the shock of your life.

would love to see a modern day remake or sequel like the rumors have been suggesting. Though knowing modern day Hollywood it would probably just suck.

Why do people think that mainstream anime is toning down the violence?

The last few episodes of One Piece have had Whitebeard oozing (red) blood all over the place.
(And One Piece is about as mainstream as you can get.)

>>43213663
>>43210713
Please give sauce. My google fu is lacking

>>43214018

While Escaflowne did poorly in Japan, it was a grand success worldwide, and even outsold Gundam on VHS tape.

This was the reason the movie was made, since the VHS releases were incredibly successful.

In my opinion, it's a shame that the anime was closed in such a way with the rushed end. I feel that either they should have ended on a cliffhanger, only to move into a film which would conclude it properly, or the show would end the way it did, and got a sequel film where Hitomi returns to Gaea.
I never watched 00, but I had a feeling it would be bad since it was going back to the Gundam Wing styled pretty boys.

I cant think of a term, but I think I can understand what your getting at.

>>43214174

I got that shock when I bought the first volume of New Cutey Honey Flash. I was used to stuff like Batman: The Animated Series at the time, so you can picture how far my socks shot across the room when I saw Honey slicing and dicing people up with her huge tits flopping around.

>>43214245

>>43214245
Mainstream in Japan, but in the West? Despised and rejected almost like Dragon Quest.

I think OP gets away with a lot because it doesn't take itself too seriously. Characters who aren't even fighters survive some real supreme acts of violence almost as if they were Looney Tunes.

Plus how often does OP do death that sticks that's not flashback based?

>>43214470
She's Mutio

a genetically engineered bioweapon used in Zorndyke's war against humanity.

Her kind are used to pilot spider crab-like mechs. They can breathe to a limited extent outside of water and lack the appeal to speak though are intelligent enough to understand words.

A larger variant of her kind are the size of whales but are decidedly less human in all respects (except for their faces).

The Fist of the North Star OVA was so over the top with violence, it was almost comical. Almost. I could watch Rei slice people into cold cuts all day.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-j4PDRJPv8g&feature=player_embedded

today's gore in anime doesn't really compare to the stuff from the 80's and 90's. in the old days it was literally in-your-face shock value. on top of that cell animation really added to the dirty feel to it.

gore in today's anime comes off as too clean. oftentimes they have to lower the contrast of gore scenes to have any effect on the audience.

The problem here is you never watched anything we're talking about, so you think the gore is the selling point of these anime when it's just the one feature that ties them all together. I'm sure there are people that like them just for the gore but what I do like is the atmosphere, when animu was about dark sci fi and the occult rather than awkward school kids.
