Been watching Yu Yu Hakusho because I love HxH and thought I'd check out some more Togashi stuff (and people seemed to like it well enough, occasionally saw people claiming it's better than HxH).

So is the hype around YYH totally nostalgia? Because I'm at the part when Yusuke & co. just rescued Yukina from the kingpin guy and it's pretty boring (except for Kuwabara) so far.

why the FUCK would ANYONE want a series from the 80s/90s to be rebooted now?

Most of the appeal of retro anime comes from the fact that the artstyle is a LOT better than millenial artstyles. Rebooting them with a recent visual style would instantly remove 70% of their appeal.

I don't know. Reboots are almost criminal.

That said, it might be a case of people just preferring digital animation and coloring to the traditional process. Which I can sort of envision for (and I'm not using it as in insult) people on the autism spectrum who thrive on predictability and uniformity in digital (perfectly uniform colors, cg is always on model, etc) while human flaws and variability are more evident in the details of old animation. Or a generation raised with extreme materialism being unaccustomed to transience and appreciation of quality over quantity. Whatever.

Despite being budget as it is, it was also fairly unpopular. So, from initial 50 something episodes they were cut to 39 and had to fight for extra 2-3 episodes.

Considering above, I say they did pretty good desu, I hate when shows have no endings and being rushed kind of pales to me.

that's an artistic choice, not a result of the technology. they could choose to maintain the 80s look if they wanted to. But I recall some director saying that the colors never quite came out as intended and that digital versions actually reflect their intent much better.

I recently finished Shamanic Princess.
One of the most boring anime I've ever seen. Every episode was a fight to stay awake, and after many of them I just fell asleep when I managed to finish. The last two episodes were slightly more interesting, if it weren't for that it'd be my first anime to get a 2/10 (got 3).
Seems that a lot of these ~6 episode OVAs are really bad, Iria was also one of the worse anime I've seen.

Here's the thing:
The worst entry in the Dominion franchise is Tank Swat 01, which is a CG piece of shit that makes your eyes bleed, but everything else is better than anything from GitS, except maybe the first movie in terms of animation and direction.

On the other hand, the worst entry in the GitS franchise (so far) is Man-Machine interface, which is dumb, eye-rolling AND ugly CG shit that makes your eyes bleed.

So there's really no contest here. You can't argue that Oshii's high-budget photorealism wankery can singlehandedly redeem the flaws that plague the GitS franchise.

No, there's no reason to.
Nothing is superior to eurobeat in a racing show, or even as good.
I'm not saying that as a joke.
If your racing show doesn't have eurobeat in it, it can not be as good as Initial D, let alone better.

I'm assuming you're downloading sequentially and didn't let the download finish.

The OPs and EDs are cut out as separate files and then linked in the episode files so that the respective file plays when needed, saving space.

Set the OP/ED files on top priority and let them finish downloading first. And next time instead of being such a brain dead fool, pay attention and think before doubting.

15+ years old is retro for me, but retro anime is more about a certain visual style than how old an anime is. Take for exemple Kabaneri last season, it has this retro look because the put effort on the shadding, visuals and character designs

The 1994 OVA came before the TV series. You should watch the OVA and then go back to the TV show.
>>
>>144219892
if you're fine with the TV series then go on.

it's just that the OVAs are a prequel, and have AMAZING production values. I'm talking rivalling with this >>144219668 production values, so if you start with them, the TV series will look like shit in comparison.

Depends. There's a lot of both better and worse series than Code Geass in terms of /m/ shows, both newer and older. In any case, the original series is now almost 10 years old.

I'll vouch for Takarajima since nobody else did so

Visually the show has aged tremendously well and being an adaptation of western fiction, the plot is guaranteed to be good. Long John Silver's portrayal is one of the better ones I've seen.

The story takes about five episodes to get going and Jim, the main character is an irritating kid though.

I'd argue that Devil Hunter Yoko is the most generic anime ever. It's exactly the not quite tentacle hentai panty schoolgirl fighting evil monsters asian cartoon that everyone in the '90s who was only vaguely aware of it thought anime in general was. It's somehow the only thing in existence that captures that to a T.

>>144204042
I'd agree with this. The first episode is this crazy echi parody thing that's entertaining to watch and it's funny to see where it's going. The other episodes are so generic it doesn't matter and it's like watching a watered down version of Sailor Moon with duller characters.
