What are some aspects of older anime you'd like to see used more in modern anime?

Plot that doesn't insult the viewers would be nice.
>>121752923

The soundtracks.
>>121752923

>>121752923
Hand drawn mecha. It's dying off more and more each year. Even sunrise is starting to dial back on it in preference to CG models.
shading and character design.
>>121753603

More hand drawn, less CGI.
More fanservice

>>121753828

>>121753783
>those Satoshi Urushihara designs
What the hell has he been doing lately?
>>121752923
Hand Drawn Animation.
Colors and shading.
But most importantly, none of that godawful bloom thats in almost ever new anime. I want a nice clean image again.
Cel animation
>>121753544
Males have it even worse.
>>121753783

>>121753783
More like proper fan service. One of the worst crimes Evangelion committed was saying there'd be fan service in the next episode for every preview.
And the show had almost zero fan service.
>>121753003
Are young japanese boys that stupid that shonen have to tell them what they are watching? For instance, MC is doing a super move and an off character is explaining the whole thing and what it's going to do. Then MC unleashes it and does exactly what the character just told you.

They either overexplain everything or explain nothing at all.

>>121753003
Actually, we only got those in modern anime.
>>121754392
The only recent show I can think of that does exposition well is Fafner.

>>121754116
>tfw still like that show for some reasons
the older artstyle. Everything now looks like a gradient with huge eyes. Even 90s faces had more diversity even though the eyes were huge.
>>121754417
Nope but production studios love how much more time and money is saved by using CG as a crutch for busy scenes

Literally everything except film grain. Modern anime on average is objectively inferior in every way.
Hand-drawn mechs.
Everything is CG now.
Anyone who isnt the MC who gets the girl or girls.
>>121752923
Shading. You know, the very basic shit that modern anime can't do.
Oh, and drawing your animation is nice too. Basic understanding of the human anatomy also doesn't hurt.
>ITT:cherrypicking shit and think it's "common" for old stuff
>muh shading muh 7 years hand drawn animation muh delusions
>>121754606
woah woah woah, that's some high quality shit you're talking about there. You want the animation of Sword of the Stranger, combined with characterization from Gundam Wing/Cowboy Bebop, with Miyazaki/ghost in the shell tier shading/story telling, AND Macross music? Get the fuck out of here and enjoy your next harem animu.
But yeah, I'd really appreciate some high quality output. Too many episodes suffer from really bad firstepisodeitis with apparently half their animation budget spent on the first 15minutes of the show and then 23 episodes of moving stills, mouthmovement stills, awful movement, and lifeless backgrounds.
I always credited FMA brotherhood for consistently good animation throughout. Even when things were slowpaced it never got so bland and boring as some of the shit you see today.

>>121753209
That intro sequence is so great. Just the drawing quality in that series alone is great. It's the Martial Law scene that gets me to this day though, particularly the part where the camera moves across a building that mirrors the reflections of other buildings. The only thing I can keep thinking during that scene is that that level of detail and that level of fluidity with some of the complexity that Ooshi demanded must have been so hard to draw. I'm unconvinced any of todays animators save maybe Shinkai would even be up to it. Maybe Sunrise Studio 8 could pull it off...maybe.
>>121755323
The problem is most of the time those people are comparing something like an OVA with a television series which has vastly different budgets when if you go and pick up any of the many unremarkable TV shows of the past they will be just as lacking in detailed shading and if not worse. People who haven't seen much old anime besides the ones that always get brought up are the only people that think good shading is something to do with the time the anime was made in rather than the market conditions changing meaning shifting budgets and formats.

>I'm unconvinced any of todays animators save maybe Shinkai would even be up to it.
The animation in a Shinkai film is not special at all. The art may be detailed but the animation is just average.
>>121754417
Yes and no. Disney has sort of helped popularize it with recent hits like Wall-E and Frozen, but there are still plenty of people that want to preserve the traditions of Japanese animation and actual 2D drawings.
>>121755386
I got your back.
>>121755440
>The art may be detailed but the animation is just average
You can only have one of them, not both. There's a reason hand-drawn Disney stuff isn't very detailed, but extremely fluid in animation.
I prefer detailed art + average animation. I don't mind not seeing the characters not moving like spastic children all the time.
>>121755446
That's different though. Anime CG is hindered by the fact that they have to make it look natural with 2d backgrounds, usually resulting in ugly cel-shaded garbage or just very plain and clunky looking CG. Pixar doesn't have to worry about blending in with 2d backgrounds so their CG can actually look good.
>>121755402
I know. It's hilarious to read comments of people who called Attack on Titan 'edgy' for this reason when in fact it didn't even have half of the gore JoJo has. And JoJo is never called 'edgy' on /a/ as far as I know.

You can play that game with tv series as well, Card Captor Sakura, Slayers, Mahou Senshi Luis, Trigun, Orphen, Gaogaigar, Macross 7 they all had great quality, much higher quality than most of the shows today.
OVA are just the final nail in the coffin as the quality is just tremendously, unsurmountably high.
You're completely right about the market, that still doesn't change that anime today is much worse than it was in the 90's/80's
>>121755483
Sad thing is that still looks much better than most modern shit. Plus, it's a good show regardless.
>>121755323
>otaking retarded shit
>big complaint
I'll give you a tip:"old anime *shading* is not better then modern", and no, it's not a big complaint because majority of anime viewers simply don't give a shit.
>>121755505
You seem to be an expert. Got any recommendations for series with very detailed art?
>>121755512
Plus CG is more expensive and studios cut costs in production.
>>121755505
There are some examples of both. Although they are few and far between, Anno's sequence with the lift off in Honneamise comes to mind.
There isn't enough about nondescript highschool schoolboys and their harems in modern anime, we really need more.
>>121755572
Mononoke. That's all you're going to get from me. Do your own research from now on.
>>121755607
If CG is more expensive then why are more studios adopting it?
>>121755572
kindly leave
>>121755505
>You can only have one of them, not both.
Depends on the budget and time constraints involved. There are definitely movies and OVAs that have both.
>>121755570
>"old anime *shading* is not better then modern",
eh, sure big guy, might want to check your eyes though.
>it's not a big complaint because majority of anime viewers simply don't give a shit.
So because the vast majority of people are plebs I should be a pleb too?
Fucking underdog mentality.
>>121755440
All I know is after seeing Patlabor 2 for the first time again since the actual 90's a few years ago (I honestly barely remembering seeing the old Manga Entertainment VHS release at a friends house literal decades ago) it kind of put a lot into perspective to me as to how even modern computer assisted 2D animation that some people feel is so great compared to 3DCGI kind of pales in comparison to the traditional hand drawn cel art with a budget under a good director at the top of their game as was the case with a lot of stuff coming out during that early 90's period. I mean there were some gorgeous looking films coming out during that late 80's early 90's period that have aged way better than some stuff that came out only a decade ago. I think it's a movie that every anime fan should see at least once if only for the experience, especially if they are of the kind that think that the absolute pinnacle of animation quality and cinematography are recently popular studios like SHAFT, Kyoani and ufoTABLE.
And yeah true, Shinkai is pretty much better with detailed artwork than actual fluid animation.
>>121755623
Already have that on my list. Starting Gunbuster tomorrow then GitS.
Gore.
>>121755628
I don't know. I'm saying it's more expensive because it was what Mizushima said in the Conqueror of Shamballa behind the scenes extra. But that was ages ago. They still used some CG in that film anyway.
>>121755539
>Trigun
>much higher quality than most of the shows today.
There must be a limit to be so delusional, because this is just being plain retarded.
There's a many factors outside of format that playing on how good show will look, but then again it doesn't matter because you are deluded retard, you obviously don't even watch the modern shows enough, simply deluded yourself into thinking
>oh new shows sucks
>old is better
Oh and anime today is moved from 00's, but I bet you also didn't realized even this.
Bizarre, non-school based comedy
>>121755568
>it's old so it has to be good hurruddurrr!1!
>old anime was best anime! what happened to manime!!
Anime was good then and is still good now, end of story. Kindly fuck off to /tv/ or /v/ if you're going to be such an obvious casual.
>>121755512
For me the texturing on CGI models and the way they move at a more clipped frame rate than most stuff is what I have a problem with. At least I'm starting to see some non-CGI cars in some recent anime again. It doesn't happen often, but for a while I swear I was only ever seeing the CGI version of cars. You used to get such nice car artwork in older anime too.
Edginess that would make most newfags shit their pants.

There are plenty of examples of TV shows with great animation just in the last decade. There are just far more swamping them that are shit. Maybe not all of them listed are "muh detailed shading" types of great animation or maybe not all are as consistent as something like CCS but they have great animation in other ways.
>>121755768
I don't mind full CG anime, Knights of Sidonia actually looks quite stunning. I don't like CG on 2D backgrounds.
>>121755834
You know that a large portion of shows you listed are KyoAni? That's sort of cheating.
Would the Rebuild films count as having great animation?

>>121755928

There's much more of good animation even in not so much great animated shows overall, and you didn't even listed a half of good animated shit.

It's like one of those.

>>121755740
Hamatora

>>121756094
BS. The overall quality of anime has dropped tenfold.
>>121756040

>>121756040
Because people can't simply admit that the ratio of Good to Bad was simply much better in the 90's/80's than it is in the 00's/10's
No one would deny that there are some great anime talking about both animation and details, but the late 80's/90's were literally the golden age, it's a fact, the industry was at its peak and the economy wasn't fucked up as it is now.

>Nice strawman.
So anime from the eighties is "older anime", but three years earlier and it isn't? Your sense of time appears to be shaped by a childhood of mercury, alcohol and repeated heavy blows to the head.
>>121752923
1. The adventure feeling.
Characters moving to various places meeting different people in oposite to "static" anime where all the action happens in the same city/school.
2.Variety in desings.
Both in clothing and monsters in oposite to generic CG dragons and all the cast using the same uniform.
3. Uncensored violence
Yeah, I'm edgy, now give me back my nightmarish anime. The reason I don't wan't a Franken Fran anime is because I know with nowdays trends it wouldn't work at all.
5.Noses
6.Absence of selfparody/references to the industry.
I'm perfectly fine with Idols in shows about idols and otakus in SOL about otaku life but don't understand why we have to have anime otakus or an Idol characters even in medieval anime.
>>121752923
Noses.
>>121755928
>Gunbuster is a fucking classic, faggot. It's got some of the most memorable scenes I've ever seen in anime.
Except the plot is extremely poorly developed, fanservice up the whazoo, shitty character development, melodrama and cringeworthy voice acting. The action is completely lacking and flat until the 5th episode. The very final episode, the climax of the series, being black and white and the major battle being a fucking slideshow was just incredibly disappointing. The only good episode was the 5th episode.
>>121756195
>people can't admit that I'm right
And you wonder why they hate you
>>121755664
Keep in mind that the Japanese economy was still somewhat strong in the early nineties. Anime has to make money.
Gore that's more than just someone spouting a blood fountain and that raw look of hand drawn animation.

>>121756205
>With all the moaning over animation quality of today it's kinda funny seeing Gunbuster here. You'll know why when you get to the last episode.
I certainly hope this is a compliment, because the final episode of Gunbuster is one of the finest experiences anime has to offer.
>>121756036
So 70's is not included in your "old anime is better belief"?
Nice hypocrisy.
>>121756056
That's not an example of anything, because anime is never being much high quality, good animated shit being there and there occasionally, and it's not only Kyoani, but again I can't expect from bunch of bandwagon idiots.
>>121756094
>and see that great animation is still practiced across different studios.
If only they would put it into practice more often.
>>121756040
Have you ever noticed how 90% of the time, "older anime is better" people only ever mention shit that was licensed in the 80s (mostly sci-fi otaku OVAs) and 90s anime? It's because that's fucking all that they've seen. They probably grew up in the 90s, watching anime on TV and buying 80s OVA stuff from various stores, so they've built up nostalgia for that stuff. But they usually don't actually go out of their way to seek out old anime, and in the rare case that they do, they only watch stuff that instantly reminds them of this supposed 'golden age' (i.e. robots and sci-fi and space)
Don't get me wrong, sci-fi/mecha/space stuff can be great! But what bothers me is the extreme close-mindedness these people have and how it all seems to be fueled by nostalgia moreso than actual passion. You NEVER see them mention amazing 80s anime that isn't for sci-fi otaku and doesn't use the typical MUH SHADING style, like Gosenzosama Banbanzai, Gauche the Cellist or Chie the Brat.
They also pretty much don't talk about the 70s at all aside from Leiji Matsumoto stuff (sci-fi and thus acceptable).
Meanwhile the people who DO talk about all this stuff tend to not be 'old anime was better, fuck newshit' types at all.
>>121756261
If only you would watch more than 20 anime.

>>121756056
>industry as a whole doesn't care
I'm sure they would love to put out a better quality product but that depends on budgets and TV budgets have always been low for anime ever since Tezuka sold Astroboy under cost price in 63.
>>121756040
Because they only mention a very small handful of the same shows everytime and claim that those shows are infinitely better than any show produced in the last 16 years "just because'
>>121756260
>>121756205
Might as well post Tetsujin and laugh at how shit it is, the 70's rarely had good animations, you can get some nice level of details in shows like Polymar, but the animation is always choppy and laughable.

>>121756316
Exactly my point. But casuals like a lot of the people in the thread only watch a single bad mainstream show from a year and then they deem the entire decade garbage. The exact same can happen if you cherrypick in the 80s/90s. I'm sure you can find even WORSE shows in the 80s/90s than you can find in the 2010s. There's good anime all around which is why you should't base your preconceived notions over whether an anime is good or not on on irrelevant things like the year it was produced

>>121755773

That one in particular was pretty bad, was gore for the sake of gore, zero substance.
I remember It even had some live action gore scenes mixed with cheap guts tricks

Casual nudity which doesn't ruin the plot, just some extra beside the plot.
Seriously why should I watch series which plots are just poor excuse to show bitches naked (and, what even worse, censored even on th BD), and why can't I see nicely designed anime characters without their clothes if they are happened to be in anime with actual story?
>>121756519
I haven't gotten far enough to say whether the story is any good, but the art isn't all that detailed, is what I was getting at.

Rebuilds look like shit. EVA has God tier art design and the animation is pretty good. Rebuild has shit art design with a little bit better animation. CG just destroys all uniqueness in the drawing.

>>121756040
Because
>it's old therefore it's better
And completely disregard everything that is made in 00's or now, for the most stupid reason I ever see, yet they didn't even watch anything for the most part.
>>121756640
Rebuilds had like the best sountrack of any anime ever though, that's got to count for something, right?

I miss Gainax artistic wankery.
And Gainaxing.
Reckless use of budget to do something completely left-field and won't make a dime but is absolutely amazing. Seriously, my impression is that the ONLY impetus for making anime nowadays is "will it sell?". What happened to risk-taking studios and directors like 90s Anno and 90s Gainax?
>>121756245
Also there were more animators back then
>>121756544
Maybe you should stop watching anime that is whole point is to show bitches naked.
>>121756724
I need to re-watch Crusher Joe
>>121756753
Shame all the people with talent left Gainax and now it's a shit studio.

Economy happened.

Economy went to shit.
Nipples got exchanged for ass, hips and vagina bones. Deal with it, titfags.
Has there been any iconic anime made in this decade? I can't think of any. Nothing even looks iconic. I'm coninced CG puts a low ceiling on how great your art style can be.
>>121756760
They either left the industry/got fired or died. Anime is basically all about selling a product now, with character designs being more important than practically anything if it's an original series.;_;

Casual nudity is the only way to have nudity that is non-intrusive, and it is literally nonexistent in modern anime. In the rare occurrences that full nudity is shown nowadays, it's always made a big deal out of.
This is how nudity should be done >>121756495
>>121753131
Fucking this! Where are all the adults at?
>>121756877
pls watch the last 5 episodes of NGE
>>121756877
Anno basically bankrupt Gainax during his prime.
>>121756771
That's what I am complaning. That you can see either shows with shit tier plot, but actual nudity. Or good plot but, in that case, you should forgot nudity.
I want good anime with nudity like in the good old times. Is it too much to ask?
>>121756854
Art style doesn't sell.
More based and down to earth anime females along with Shonen heroes who aren't whiny, cliche', and are actually cool to watch. Yusuke Urameshi and Ryoko were my favorite growing up and I barely see any other characters who were as fun and based as they were. Their emotions and actions felt a lot more realistic and it made them easy to relate to.
So is this thread basically full of the anime-watching equivalent of dadrockers?
>>121756953
The difference between this thread and a post on /v/ about anime or a dadrocker is that people in this thread still like modern anime.
>>121756854
Iconic anime in the 21st century are few and far between, but there are some masterful exceptions like Texhnolyze and Monster.
>inb4 death note, FMA, code geass
Uncensored vaginas and nipples. Japan needs to stop being so fucking childish about it.
>>121756760
A lot of people went broke.
>>121756898
>This is how nudity should be done
This is fucking OVA, with occasional fanservice which this moment is.
By the way, stop cherrypicking shit as it's fucking common thing.
>In the rare occurrences that full nudity is shown nowadays
>i watched only 20's animes
>>121756263
Doesn't those "old anime is not better" do exactly the same thing? They cherry pick the same handfull of shows with cool animation disregarding the other 22 shows of the season that one appeared?
This season there is an studio with 5 different shows and the 5 of them have low production values.
I'm not gonna say everyting in the 80s 90s was gold, and not gonna say everything in the 00s and 10s are shit, but if you pick any anime from the 80s 90s ANY not just the licensed you will see that at least they put effort on making them, may be the story was bad, and the animation mediocre, but damn, they tried.
Pick any show right now randomly and tell me if you can say the same about it.
The industry is not based on making something for a proper audience kiddy shows for kids and mature ova for adults and fighting series for teenagers, is all about produce as much series possible to sell the merchandising/source material they are not interested in the anime itself that's why they put little to none effort.
When they did ovas, the ovas were the product, so they put effort on it.
>>121756995
Don't worry, almost everyone here will still be alive by the time Japan gets rid of that archaic law.
>>121756992
>Texhnolyze and Monster
Not Iconic.

How about watching more.
>>121757000
Since you seemed to have missed the entire fucking point of my post, I'll repeat it: casual nudity.
>>121756854
Monogatari. Not even baiting.
>>121753131
3rd this. Tought the new trend is a regular neet.

This.
>>121757035
Closest you're gonna get. They are both unique and exceptional. Battle shounens or most other anime that could be considered "iconic" are a dime a dozen.
>>121757025
>This season there is an studio with 5 different shows and the 5 of them have low production values
What? That's impossible.
>>121757066
Old anime is not full of casual nudity, if you want it so much research more.
>>121757074
He said iconic, not popular. Iconic such as Serial Experiments Lain, Gunbuster, Evangelion, Texhnolyze, Berserk, MSG, etc.
>>121757057
My backlog isn't that long, so I pretty much saw every single one wich was worth to watch.
>>121756877
he did, it started out on an early time slot as a show for kids. Anno was playing it straight at first but then suddenly stuck his dick in the proverbial pooper and went full serious business.
He also drove gainax near bankruptcy (the whole thing of him recently buying back the IP of eva was because they had to sell all sorts of shit to make sure they could make an ending)
>>121757107
But they are not iconic compared to Naruto, Bleach and One Piece.
>>121757112
Man, your reading comprehension is just abysmal. I never said anything about the frequency of casual nudity in older anime. I said it's practically nonexistent in modern anime.
>>121756854
I'd say Oreimo's popularity is pretty much te reason why every hare should contain a little sister nowadays. But it was thanks to the original LN and not the anime adaptation.
>>121757187
0/10 not even trying
>>121757223
How are they not iconic? Every one knows them, even people who don't watch anime.
>>121757112
The thread is about what we are missing from new animes which was in old ones. Casual nudity is something what I missing from the old times. Of course there were non-casual in_your_face fanservice shits back than too, but these ones are avalable nowadays too so why would I miss them?
>>121754284
Well, it's Evangelion, it's Anno and in general, it was Gainax.
Them pulling stuff like that wasn't surprising in retrospective.
>>121757258
Not sure about Bleach, but Naruto and One Piece definitely. And probably SnK.
>>121757258
If we're going by the actual definition of iconic, none of those are acknowledged especially for distinctive excellence. They are widely known, but the word you are looking for there is "mainstream".

How about loli nipples in kids shows?
less pedobait

I want Sci-fi to return to its glory.
And more guns of any kind.
There is too much fantasy.
>>121752923
Alpha males, something you almost never see in modern anime.
>>121756854
Tatami Galaxy.
>>121757144
>Berserk
Berserk anime is not iconic
Also if we are talking about digital anime i would concider GITS SAC Mushishi and FMA iconic for example
>>121757337
>>121757338
These don't add up
>>121753111
This.
>>121757364
There's too much gay fantasy, but not nearly enough High Fantasy. The 90s was High Fantasy heaven. Give me more Record of Lodoss War, Slayer, and Berserk.
>>121757365
And even if there's one, he'd ended up as a Gary Stu.
Nobody in the industry could animate like this anymore.
>>121757373
Well back then you got some occasional loli in a show but it usually was more than just pedobait. Now we have a ton of shows that are nothing but pedobait.
>>121755537
Well kudos to nasu for that. because of him I'm more interested in middle eastern history
and holy shit I'm disgusted at how they're destroying the culture and history there.
>>121757364
There is too much harem and school settings and too little fantasy.
The suffering protagonist
>>121757373
Well usually when loli nipples or shota dick was shown in older anime (even gundam had dicks and nipples), they weren't sexualized. It was not pedo bait. The animators just had balls.
>>121753903
Going blind.
No really
>>121757458
It will hurt you to realise that Gilgamesh is actually portrayed as a bearded massive guy in art.
>>121757473
That too.

>bashing everything that is made after 1999 is the same as telling people that it's nothing but being delusional

That's all about it, nothing but delusions of newfag who don't watch anime alot.

Nothing but being biased as hell.
