This one is great.

It's fun seeing how these people are saying the exact same things /a/ is saying now, except exchange "kawaii" and "moe".

>>65587803
It's like I'm reading /a/ 3 weeks ago, but in the 90s! Just as awful too.

>>65587865
That's a nice way to show how Nostalgiafags are fucking retarded, and so are those that are always spouting "THE ANIME INDUSTRY IS DYING, WAAAA"

Oh man these are great. How did they even get their anime back then?

>>65588115
Sailor Moon was the K-On of its day

Oh hey, Carl Horn. He's a chill dude.

>>65588242

>>65588242
VHS tapes

>>65588242
The same way people get bootlegs of albums before they're released.

I have no clue how that actually happens[/spoiler

>>65588295
In 1994? I seriously doubt it.

It seems nostalgiafags exist in every generation.

>>65588109
Shit's hard, bro.

>>65588342
It's not like they had 1080p FLAC audio bloatgirls encodes.

>>65588242
Read the wikipedia article on "Fansub". Pretty interesting shit.

>>65588394
But 1994 is still tainted by the Eternal September.

>>65588342
There wasn't really a concept of "movie files" in 1994, at least not anything much longer than 10 seconds and the size of a postage stamp.

I'm sure it was nth-generation VHS tape copies, or for the richfags, laser discs from Japan.

>>65588394
This. Pre-94 they didn't have much discussion about anime. Only posts about anime clubs, conventions and news.
>>65588413
It's not like they used to surf the web using 28K modems.

Oh wait.

>>65587907
But they're right. No one remembers the kawaii crap of that day but everyone remembers Evangelion.

A moefag circlejerk metathread? Oh, just business as usual.

>>65588538
> No one remembers the kawaii crap of that day
Sailor Moon?

And, hell, just look at Tenchi Muyo, which has shaped harem series to this day.

Google Groups is really, really awkward to search with.

>>65588538

The point is that moeshit existed back now and then, and so did people wrongly complaining about moeshit killing the industry

15 years from now, the same thing that happened to evangelion and old moeshit will happen to current good anime and moeshit

>>65588641
But sailor moon wasn't crap. It had plot and stellar talent that pushed the envelop and kept on doing so for years to come.

>>65588702
Sure, moeshit existed then and it exists now. It isn't going to kill the industry, but it wasn't very good then and it's not very good now.

>>65588762
Opinions existed then and they exist now. But, the often-used complaint that moeshit is killing the industry, is obviously wrong because the industry is, y'know, still going. That's all the point we're trying to make.

>>65588906
You're acting JUST LIKE those guys, dude.

>>65588808
But the 'killing the industry' stuff is trolling. It's the part about it being shit that is true.

>>65588906
Pretty sure slice of life isn't really that recent a development.

>>65588959
The problem is that, there are retards that think the shit about "moeshit killing the industry" is the truth.

What is WoH?

Anime. Anime never changes.

>>65588814
>[Japanese name] is hard to pronounce
I never understood this thinking.

>>65588959

>But the 'killing the industry' stuff is trolling

Not outside of /a/, there are people who genuinely believe in that shit (including some "paid professionals" like ANN, and some people unquestionably eat their diarrhea up)

>>65588906

>>65590312
From what I've seen, most old-school fans are strongly anti-fansub. If a show had an official release you were supposed to throw out your fansub tape and buy the real thing. Then broadband and digisubs happened...

>>65590601
The thing that strikes me the most is how helpful and polite these people are.

Now helping people is spoonfeeding and calling someone a faggot is board protocol.

Everyone is so polite. Nobody is calling each other retards or faggots. Nobody is cursing. Holy shit. Everybody was mature and knew what they were talking about. I feel bad for being born late.

>>65590723

They had internet in the goddamn 70's. You had to be in a university that had access to the limited network that existed but it was there.

The worldwide web we use today was only conceived in the 90's by a brit in CERN.

>>65590840
That's because back then the hobby was niche as fuck, and everyone who was into it was close-knit and probably considered a bro.

Anime today is far too widespread for the same kind of camaraderie. Communities can afford to be picky.

>>65590840
>Now helping people is spoonfeeding

That's basically it, we'd need to all get better monitors for this:

As anime is not real-life being captured, there are limitations for what kind of quality you can derive.

>>65592087

Lossless subs

Also full 3D

>>65592087
4k will be the new standard soon.

Daiz's 4k test thing was like 5gb for 1 minute of video.

>>65592003

If we have over the top and ridiculous fanservice TV shows now, it makes me wonder if we really will get that Daily Lives of Strippers anime in the future, where the girls are topless for 90% of the running time.

>>65592153

Most anime right now aren't even animated in 1080p. New transfers of analog anime and possibly current theatrical anime are the only ones that are, so we still have a ways to go before the progress in visually technology makes any kind of difference to anime.

>>65592216
It's not like we have a choice since CyborgDaiz controls the entire fansubbing community now. If only our ancestors hadn't let him seize control.

>>65592255
That was a very convincing argument. All that proof you had really proved me wrong. I think I'll change my opinion now that you've swayed me with your expertise.

>>65592225

You found a website of the fansubber, you then send them money to cover the postage and the VHS tapes they bought in bulk to copy and send to you.
