Tell me /a/. Why are 80s anime babes so great?
>>117451709
>not posting best babe...
is it the hair? its the hair isn't it?
Noses, probably.
how is dirty pair? i've seen it mentioned enough times to warrant it going on my backlog
>>117452187
It's basically cowboy bebop+space dandy+charlies angels.
Noses, hair, boyish bodies, economic bubble.
>>117452576
those are all really nice things
>>117452707
economic bubbles do make women look more attractive
>>117452187
Eh, it's alright. I watched the OVA and wasn't too impressed.
>>117452908

This one.
>>117453195
I liked the TV series a lot more, even if this did have better animation.
>>117451709
It's because they are hand drawn with love, you can really tell how much of it the animators put effort into them compared to modern day anime where everything is lazier by being done on a computer.

Why would Tenchi even think about any girls other than Ryoko? She's clearly the best.
And the detail in some of those old shows.
>>117454433
Because her creator is a fag, and her entire personality was apparently written by someone other than Kajishima.
>>117451709
Because they weren't all children like nowadays.
Oh God, what the fuck did they do?
Why?
Why must he keep raping Tenchi Muyo's corpse like this.
Fuck you, Kajishima. It's dead already. Leave it alone, and put your rotten dick in something else.

Why is Japan post 90s so damn gay?
>>117454939
I haven't really watched anime regularly in over a decade, and don't much care anymore. But fuck, this travesty put tears in my eyes. Just why? Why does Kajishima insist on making all these shows and just spew an explosive stream of diarreah all over every character that made the original unique? How can someone hate their greatest creation with such a burning passion?
>>117454540
Posting an OVA is kind of cheating. You can get movie-level attention to detail with TV-level practicality of execution. It's best of both worlds.
>>117455166
It's not cheating, considering the 90s had a very high output of OVAs, and the quality of OVAs was much higher back then compared to now.
OVAs now just tend to be more of the same TV quality shit.
they just don't make moe like the used to
>>117455209
The OVA market was a fantastic place for animators and studios to do something unique or experimental or just tell their story without concern for censors and not have to invest the money for a theatrical release.
Nowadays, OVAs are treated as a cheap cash-in on a TV show's popularity where they get to be a little extra ecchi and a actually show nipples without shitty censoring techniques since you're already buying the disc(in theory) to see it.
I just hope something changes in Japan's anime distribution model to allow for more OVA production. Especially taking advantage of digital distribution methods. Just SOMETHING to make OVAs profitable as standalone enterprises so we can get back to that way of giving directors and studios a chance to do something experimental.
>>117455209
What happened to OVAs anyway? There's barely been any original content on that front for years. Most of it seems to be continuations of TV shows.
>>117454823
Ai Tenchi isn't Kajishima's fault.
>>117455452
>What happened to OVAs anyway?
They became late night TV anime.
>>117455432
I gave up on anime completely about a decade ago. I was more of a fan in the 90s, and there's really not anything left for me. It's one of my favorite mediums, and it's chock full of potential, but it just veered off in the wrong direction in the early 2000s. All the experimental or moderately interesting stuff just disappeared, and it started to pander solely to otaku. There was certainly otaku pandering back in the 90s as well, but it was different, and filled with in-jokes and its own culture. Today it's just mass consumerism aimed at the worst losers of society.
Kei is my waifu
>>117455550
Nah, he just owns the fucking franchise.
Anyway, why the fuck would they make a new Tenchi and mostly leave out the original cast? Why leave out the very thing that made it stand out and make it unique?
I mean, they really want to focus on Tenchi, the most generic, dull character in the show, along with a bunch of random anime chicks?
I just can't fathom the logic behind it. People watched the show for the girls, because they were interesting, well written and well designed. Tenchi was just a catalyst for them to react to.
>>117451848

I'm the one that should feel sorry for you, first because you missed living in the golden age of nip animation, and second because you're using ellipses, that is something definitely more abject than using caps.
>>117456781
Of course they were, but they weren't the cancer killing anime at the time.
>>117452075

>>117456701
Evangelion blackhole marketing and bubble burst killed the industry. just that. it simply became too fucking big for its fucking legs.
moe and verious shades of otakuism that came out in the years doesn't mean anything.
but its ok like this.
>>117456791
It's better now anyway since we get all of those old anime on BD. I remember how scare stuff was so you watched anything you could, which means a lot of crap.
>>117456791
First of all, I did live in the golden age of anime.
Second, what kind of adult goes on a tantrum like an autistic child, because someone else grows out of anime?
Third, ellipses are used properly to convey trailing off, which is different from simply adding it to every sentence.
Grow up.
>>117457030
I deeply resent that 2nd line.
I'm not him thankfully, but it still hits a nerve.

They're not truly the cancer killing anime right now either. Although the reliance on archetypes in order to sell figures to otaku is irritating as fuck.
But the truth is that it's an industry with very limited appeal. What's worse is that there's about thirty shows being pumped out each season which causes a lot of saturation.
>>117451709
Her hideous Cyndi Lauper hair is all that's keeping me from watching this show.

Of course, so that was a curse he was sputtering out. Maybe he's an autismancer.
>>117457014
Well, being ignorant about what you were watching and raking up any possible info about it was part of the charm of ovas back then, togheter with surviving eyeraping VHS quality and chinese or french subs.
having BD rips on nyaa everytime you fancy is fucking fantastic, but watching anime before internet felt like exploring something new that nobody outside the circles knew.
>>117457600
Those hair are effay as fuck you philistine.
>>117457996
Do you have a webm of "that" scene?
>>117457994
You can't use the term effay and call someone else a philistine, you fucking philistine.
>>117457877
Yeah, that was part of the charm. Also, lower availability, also increases the enjoyment of things.
Now that every form of entertainment is immediately available through the internet, you get burned out quickly, and each individual thing isn't as good as it was in the past.
I've virtually burned out on most forms of entertainment, because I've just consumed too much of it over the past decades. TV shows, movies, games... I can go weeks and months without touching any of it, because I've seen every fucking clichè and stereotype before.
At least it leaves me with more time to pursue other hobbies that are far more creative.

>>117458227
Well, I'm really close to that. I've devoured so much fiction of every kind in the years that everything that doesn't have actually something fresh inside is absolutely boring. the reason I'm still into animation is, I admire skill, and that luckily it never disappears completely from this medium, be it direction, animation or design. these guys aren't like shitty hollywood or fox tv "artists", these are demure, autistic people that work themselves obsessively to perfect their professional techniques. well often. and its art, artisan art, still great even if made just to make money out of profitable 40 years old virgins.

>>117459084
It might be different from Hollywood, but the only difference is that they rely on other stereotypes and clichés.
The primary reason I don't enjoy anime, aside from the severe drop in art direction and skill, is the fact that every character and story element is the same, down to the intonation of a character's voice. I've seen it all before.
And I don't even know why they do this. They don't have to rely on predictable writing, when you literally have the freedom to do anything.
>>117459987
1996 wasn't in the 80s, numbnips. I refuse to believe the average age here is above 18.

>>117451709
Hypermasculinity affected women in anime too.
>>117460868
Because they're forced to sell. the industry has become so big it can't survive in passive a single year. the skill is still there, you just need to keep your eyes open, and archetypes are just the nip way to do. its been always like this, the 70 and 80's were the exception.
and anyway, go watch Ping Pong or Kaiba and tell me what archetypes you see.

I've actually started to wonder how far the level of anime infiltration goes in Japanese society. Even when it's not anime itself, many aspects of the otaku culture itself seems to persist, such as idols and girl bands, along with the extremely superficial pop culture and pandering to losers.
Of course, this is all seen from an outsider who hasn't actually been to Japan yet, so I might be totally off base.

There's a plethora of articles and books that describe otaku in detail. you can start looking around Evageeks forums and Colony Drop e-zine.
actually /jp/ is also a great place, but to find the right people and start a discussion you need to endure levels of autism that normal humans find lethal.

I'd say that today's otaku cultures are more of a stand alone complex, attempting to copy an original that never really existed.
>>117462703
Somebody thought of the children.
>>117462508
I'd say the genuine otaku culture lasted until the late 90s, which was roughly when I became an anime fan.
My first real anime was Akira back in 1994, though, when they aired it uncensored on TV for some reason. The channel promoted the hell out of it, and even sent a documentary and wrote an article on Akira and Japanese anime.
Fuck me, it was amazing to watch as a kid. It just opened up a new world.
I don't think modern kids will ever get this, as they're spoonfed every form of entertainment from they're born.
>>117457146
Though stuff, I almost gave up on anime because I like plenty of late 90s-early 00s series, OVAs and music, and many of the people who liked those are mostly near their 30s, and by that time people change, ofteng moving on. Older anime discussion isn't as easy as retro game discussion, and even harder for those younger than the original fags.

True, but they will get something else. maybe not this generation, maybe not the next, but sooner or later it will happen again its the human nature that dictates this.
someone, somewhere, someway will go farther and break out, and people like him, the minority that doesn't feel at home with the majority, will follow. RULES OF NATURE etc.
>>117462758
Passing 30 is a shitty experience. Not because you feel old, but because there's a new generation of little shits behind you who now dictate popular culture, and unless you're a manchild, it likely doesn't fit your taste. You really just lose the ability to connect with new people, and the ones your age usually move on, or focus on specific hobbies, rather than the generalized shit that young people like.
I was too old for the Pokemon generation, but remember how fucking obnoxious it was when all the kids were shitting their pants over that retarded show. It's very strange for me to see a whole generation of people in their 20s obsessing over kiddie stuff like that, no matter what excuses they make about how mature they think it is.

>tfw you can't fap to his doujins because they're too funny
>>117463000
I'm exactly like you, even older, but I'm always on the edge of the new shit. your problem is that you didn't grew out the most important thing: your tastes. why you care about popular culture? just watch how it goes and take what you makes you curious. if its shit you still have the old things. why you don't connect with younger people? they are full of things you don't get, and you can give them a lot of unknown stuff. and if they're too young just leave them be.
>>117463164
>I've gotten much more picky
well that's just normal. everyone did this growing up, even when things were slower or with other media that changed at lower speeds, like western comics
>tfw you can't tell fellow nerds how much you like retro anime and 80s/90s stuff in general because of that "born in le wrong generation" meme.
Know what's worse than being a thirty-something otaku fag whose interests have become a niche over the years? Being a twenty-something nerd with the same tastes. Everybody thinks I'm a hipster who only pretends to have a hard-on for that shit, or dismisses me for not having more current tastes.
These were the days
>>117463164
I spent years in the anime community, without really watching any shows, before I realized I had outgrown anime and that it had changed too much for my taste.
I still like some of the art, and I've been drawing the shit for 14 years now, despite not having been an anime fan for almost a decade. It's a very odd position to be in, drawing stuff for people you don't share a fandom with. I suppose I should move on, but I'm stuck in my ways.
>>117463312

>>117463296
I'm highly cynical. I don't know if it's because I'm picky, have specific tastes, have become more mature or if I'm simply a jaded asshole. It's probably a little bit of each.
There's very little in popular culture I enjoy. I try new things, but they don't sit well with me. I don't connect with young people, because I see the same types I knew growing up, or I see my previous self. This includes all the ignorance and false beliefs young people have, and these tend to repeat themselves in certain age groups, no matter what the cultural landscape is. That being said, I do have some younger friends, but I usually just nod and smile when they talk about how awesome something is. I don't think they'd like lectures about what they like is superficial shit, and no one likes a cynical asshole.
Anyway, I focus more on fitness, hiking, engineering, robotics, drawing, brewing beer or just spending free time outside with friends or in my boat.
I wish I were alive back when anime had to be passed around as if it were illegal. I'd make it big in the anime game, Making money pimping big-haired Japanese bitches, hustlin that 2D shit, know what I'm sayin?

The early 90s were part of the 80s.
>>117463438
I don't think anyone would make that argument. I think the argument is that they don't get the cultural zeitgeist of that era.
It's like experiencing the hippie era versus liking music from the era. I don't think we can get what it was like, if we weren't there. We can still enjoy the music, though.
>>117456408
Holy fuck, how tsundere could you get?
>>117463676
Yeah, I read the most frustratingly slow manga of all time: Berserk.
Also read Ippo. It's just a very comfortable read, as long as I turn off my brain.
Used to read Blade of the Immortal and Vagabond, but I haven't looked into them in years for some reason.
>>117463682
I have kinda the impression that you're kinda a rich guy with no drive. you do all these things, and call yourself jaded asshole? or even better, you call yourself jaded asshole in a discussion abut entertainment? I've become a jaded asshole because i feel no more pity for weak or victimized people, not because I get bored by drinking beer on my boat.
you say you keep seeing the same types of people, but its true that what we see of the people around us depends also on how they perceive them. at this point I don't know what to say, apart that expecting excitement from trite mass culture is one of the naivest things a grown man could expect, except if he uses it as padding from everything that's empty in his life. try taking a trip in the emerald city, maybe the wizard can give you a spare heart.
I wish there was an anime that started out as a millenial harem "comedy" with a bland-ass protagonist who has the proportions of a ten year old, an abusive tsundere loli and the usual moeblob cast; and slowly turns into an 80s action show, with the MC becoming a muscular badass with big eyebrows, and the girls becoming fluffy-haired action babes who aren't dumb sluts and have noses.
>>117463719
Wasn't much money to be made. It was all very communal, sharing that shit because you could. It was slightly before my time, but I did trade VHS stuff with some Germans and Swedes.
Also watched most of Evangelion on some shitty vivo streaming format that disappeared from the face of the earth after a few years. The format was so shitty, you couldn't even skip ahead. If you tried, it just started from the beginning. Then DSL became common, I got access to an FTP with massive amount of content and I came continuously for a year, before my interest started to die down.
>>117464135
>I've become a jaded asshole because i feel no more pity for weak or victimized people
That's just called growing up, not becoming a jaded asshole. Becoming a jaded asshole means not enjoying things anymore and being bitter and rude because of it. Not becoming mature.
>>117464245
Sounds kind of like DNA² if Junta actually became the mega playboy.
>>117464377
it doesn't start out millenial enough.
>>117464444
Yeah, it definitely has the 90s feel.
>>117463312
I don't think anybody has ever told me I am just pretending to like old anime. If someone did I'd brush them off like the unpleasant person they likely are.
>>117464135
We're talking about entertainment, so I'm talking about being a jaded asshole in relation to entertainment. It was a huge part of my life until my mid-20s.
I'm also jaded as far as society in general is concerned and most of my views are very far from acceptable, so I tend to keep them to myself. I wouldn't say it's so bad that I don't feel pity for people who are victimized. It's more along the lines that I feel society in general has far too much empathy for people who don't deserve it. But do you really want to get into a political discussion on /a/? You know how that shit turns out.
As for the things I do, I seem to do them to fill a void. I do genuinely enjoy them, but there's always that empty feeling in the back of my head that's something's missing. I assume a lot of people have this. Constant stress also makes me feel like I'm stretched too thin.
But how about that anime!
>>117464304
Growing up actually means lying everytime you're with someone else. adulthood doesn't exist, people remain the same if nothing traumatic happens from childhhod to coming of age.
no adult will ever say you this, because its hard to admit, and no one cares. maturity is the most rare and precious asset out there pal.
I wonder how long it'll be before the anime industry gets so stale they just stop trying and start recycling more older shows for newer generations
>>117456751
Serves you right for shitposting obnoxious forced memes.

>>117464694
I think that happened around 2004.
>>117464694
We're already there.
Who would you stick it in first? Yuri or Kei?
>>117464245
Eould be the ultimate troll from the industry to the industry.
>>117464878
Kei. Yuri depending on who drew her goes second or in the kitchen making sandwiches
>>117464527
Batman looks like he's pissed Lupin hijacked the picture.
>>117464878
when in doubt, brown always
>>117464878
Kei, then Kei, and Kei some more.
>>117464878
I don't think there is a wrong answer here.
>>117464989
I thought he was pissed for hitting on Wonder Woman, or whatever her name is.
>>117464734
>Any post I don't like is a shitpost
People like you are the reason the word is losing all meaning.
>>117465061
That's Jean Grey dude holy shit
>>117465061
Another possibilty.
>>117464694
I think that's happening soon, case in point see the Gundam Origins anime coming out. Lots of newer anime viewers won't watch 79 due to it's dated art, which is a Shane since it has a good story however they'll eat up sonethibg with cgi.
>>117465108
>>117464878
Yuri. Nigger can go eat a dick.
>>117464878
I haven't watched Dirty Pair yet but the blue haired girl looks more my type.
>>117456408
Fuck, they just don't build 'em like this no more.
>>117465164
But isn't Batman's waifu normally Catwoman or whatever her name was that's the daughter of the immortal ninja cult leader? Been a while since I've brushed up on my Batman, excuse the ignorance.
Funny how the most Asian looking character in anime is an American.
>>117464781
Secret of Mamo is truly the best Lupin movie.
![[OZC]Patlabor The Movie.jpg](https://i.imgur.com/cibNXnA.jpg "[OZC]Patlabor The Movie.jpg")
>>117465388
She also feels the most asian, due to the constant use of Engrish.
>American
Japanese-American
>>117465450
I can't believe they kicked her off the show halfway in. She was clearly the best character, and her replacement was shit.
>>117465409
What was the one with Fujiko going around with the cunt and ass completely exposed for 2/3 of the movie? it gave me the most consistent erection of my prepubescent life
>>117465277
Wonder Woman is sometimes paired with Batman or Superman depending on which shipperfaggot is writing the story.
God, I love the crisp, clear animation from the days of yore.
>>117465584
They didn't kick her off, the show was originally meant to end at the point that Kanuka left. The network basically begged them to keep making the show so they kept loosely adapting the manga, and as a result needed to use her replacement. She came back for everything important anyway.
>>117465277
Yes, but you see, when it comes to Justice League stuff they ship a lot of things.
Batman x Wonder Woman is one of them.
>>117458093what is "that" scene?
>>117458093
>>117459084
>I actually wonder if there are versions of that scene still around.
Only if someone has a first-run VHS tape laying around. The scene is still there, but the frames in question were removed for the LaserDisc run and every subsequent release.
>>117465584
>Implying
Noa is bestlabor, anon.
>>117465653
Has Patlabor ever looked anything less than great?
>>117465730
What is missing?
>>117455166
God dammit, Someone give urushihara more anime to do.
>>117465599
That's probably Secret of the Twilight Gemini. That one had a lot of T&A in it. I remember Funimation even releasing a version of it with the fanservice scenes cut out on one of their boxsets.
>>117465730
Every release? even the early japan-only ones?
>>117465850
Her clothes? soap?
>>117465755
Is that from one of the movies or the series?
>>117465850
Originally, shot of her standing out of the bath lingers for a split second longer, showing her wet pubes.
>>117466014
>Every release? even the early japan-only ones?
As far as I know, it was only seen in the first run VHS. Even the latter VHS runs were edited, as were all LDs, DVDs and BDs.
There are scans of the shot. Of course, they're small, blurry and the color is shit. But they're out there somewhere.
>>117465755
>Has Patlabor ever looked anything less than great?
Yes. When it's compressed into a tiny little .gif like in >>117465653
>>117466200
Second movie, during the intro.
>>117466208
Wow, they really refined the look of the animated Ingrams over the years since OVA1. Never really noticed it before.
>>117466208
>But they're out there somewhere.
Time to start an adventure?
>>117466208
I'll never understand how the japs managed to suck the soul right out of anime.
>>117464878
Kei because she'd most likely do anal.
>>117466375
I'm pretty sure several dozen people over on >>>/m/ would have them saved. Thought I did, too, but I'm not finding them. Did find a production sketch of naked Noriko. Still censored pubes.
>>117462769
>>117462829
>>117466208
>>117466405
Man, those expressions. I miss those. There's occasionally a few shows with great expressions, but it's not the norm anymore.
>>117466405
Money.
>>117451709
I remember this one flash game about that girl where you had to put her in the mood by rubbing her to fuck her
Wish I still had it
>>117466543
Patlabor was always strong in the facial expressions department, and Noa the queen of them.
>>117466474
Yeah, I had them also ages ago. it would be pointless though, since the quality is shit. the only way to have it restored would be an eventual uncut version, that will never happen since Gainax have both feet in the grave.
if only Anno would buy it...
>>117466543
They never stopped. It's just that they look fake or stiff now. Like they're done too hastily, or as if they're trying to copy something they don't really understand.
Which is weird, because it's not that fucking complicated to animate a silly face, while retaining a lot of personality.
Lady, she didn't get much character development(No one really did in the series), but she was reliable, and a pretty neat design.
>>117466779
Forgot the photo
>>117466597
Great liars those two.
Ultimate 80's Damsel in Distress, and I love her for it.
Chrico!
Fyana!

Keep forgetting pictures mang.
>>117455992
You missed your click too.
>>117456352
I laughed a bit thanks. But I also hate the ones who just "give up" on their passion, just like that, it pisses me off.
Thats all i have of 70s /m/ girls
Patlabor is the absolute pinnacle of both police drama and mechs.first movie always a best
>>117457877
>>117458227
I envy you guys. Born to late to explore Earth, too soon to explore space, and even too late to explore anime. That's a pity.
>>117467112
Agreed, but the second one was pretty great too, as was TV/OVA2. OVA1 is a diamond in the rough, it set up the core of the series but didn't quite nail it.
>wide shoulders
>tits are often simple arcs
>no shading for nipples
modern anime is lightyears ahead
>>117467438
Yeah, the breasts were often just simple hemispheres with little regard for weight, sag, gravity, or movement. Some tried harder than others, but nipple design was almost always bland and not worth mentioning.
