There is no golden age. Watch more weekly shit, keep moving on.

Anime has always been shit.

60s to 80s were good, if there's a golden period it's the 80s, all downhill from 90s on

golden age was 74-83

90s some tv series and definitely the OVAs still had budgets. so you got ridiculous shading, details, and fluid animation. not to mention quality original sound tracks, instead of pop idol inserts.

>>150282815
The 90s was the beginning of the proud 'pay them like its the 80s they'll work anyway' tradition.
Overall the industry expanded in the wake of Eva and it's production committee model. In fact it expanded in a way never before seen largely morphing into what we see today.

The only comparable event is the advent of dirt cheap digital production pushing out even more shows per year.

>>150282990
There was a glut of labor in the 80's so wages were low (especially considering the economic boom).
These low wages have persisted since the 80s even though the situation that created them is long, long past.

>>150282763

Do you consider what we see today to be a good thing? Eva is fantastic and it paved the way for a lot of good shit, but I can think of far more important works in the past which changed the industry in more positive ways.

The "Golden Age" is usually whenever you got into anime, so you can look back on a bunch of 7/10 shit with nostalgia and call it a masterpiece.

>>150283320
the 1990s were extremely good because they had the most Megumi Hayashibara shows. Slayers, Blue Seed, Evangelion.

Objectively speaking, it peaked with Akira and the industry has yet to ever go up to that level. Ghost in the Shell was as close as it ever got.

Akira is written all over the 90s, even in the cheaper but not dirt cheap tv work at the end of cel. If I were to consider a single work for peak of the craft it would still be Akira, but twighlight cel is more impressive as a whole and that's the 90s.

Yeah there's less ova (which were mostly trash anyway) and tv anime is in a panic until eva but that's not really relevant to top of the line unicorns which are already by their nature unicorns.

To be honest I forgot I asked for favourites and I thought that was your "most of the 70s."
But really though, you've seen all of Dezaki? WMT? Future Boy Conan? all the mecha and sci-fi classics? you thought Lupin III was "crappy"?
If you've honest to god given it a shot then I can't and won't fault you, but I could never ever understand where you're coming from. Favourites of the 00s, since that's apparently the best?

>>150282398

I'd say you're on the right track. Late 90s for true "golden age", late 00's for "silver age".

70s is like an entire decade they stopped trying. The 60s were rather nascent but they were experimental, mostly on the back of Mushi's stuff.

I can sit there and watch the Yamato movie, flying high on an unprecedented level of attention and money, and cringe at how bad the production is.
>big blind spot
Just working though the Mushi movies is a good start. The 60s are like I said, nascent, there's not a lot you have to see to have a feel for the decade.

>>150284427

>>150284554
The production's are themselves quality though anonymous. They have very few equals.

Even Ghibli haters like Oshii like accept what they make is fine quality, even if they don't like what it ends up telling.

>>150284631

I don't disagree, I just think Miyazaki is a pompous far left idiot and this seeps into the themes of his animation

>>150284549
I really disagree with how you've got the 70s pinned. You and I can both cherrypick of course, but you can hardly look at the classics of that era and say they didn't try.
As for Mushi Pro I've only seen Animerama which is like exit level, any early stuff you'd specifically recommend? I believe I've checked and the bulk (or all?) of their TV work hasn't been translated. Unfortunate, there's a lot I want to see

More time and money than the last decade but somehow mostly worse.

Hue that's almost exactly like Oshii. He called Ghibli the Soviet Union a bunch in the 90s. I always thought he was reading too much into it to be honest.

Yes, it was the real golden age where old studios were still riding waves of revenue from older IPs while new techniques and know-how were encouraging experimentation since the growing pains of digital had been worked out. Larger amounts of money were being thrown around and combined with digital efficiency this meant that every transferred into higher production values than would otherwise be possible. The OVA market wasn't totally dead and the resource of LNs to adapt for source material hadn't already been strip mined out, there were still good ones to animate left.

It was short lived, and mostly accidental, but it was a magical time. Things aren't that much worse now but I as much of a meme as it is 2007 was one helluva year and there had to me some cause to create that effect.

Just as importantly, 2006-2011 was the golden age of torrenting, fansubbing, and fan culture, at least in the West. The period oversaw the golden age of fansubbing as an activity, and emergence of same-day subs via speedsubbing transport raws. The culture around distributing anime really hit a high point in that era, and is something we'd never seen before and will never see again.

2006-2011 also oversaw a period of impressive technical advancement in animation quality, albeit accompanied by the decline of high-quality cel animation.

In terms of sheer quality of anime, the period 1997-2001 is probably better, but in terms of distribution and culture the 2006-2011 period was a real high-water mark.

>>150291418

2007 was the best time on /v/ and the plethora of tripfags gave it a weird life. some were so well known. i liked how riled up they made everyone. i can't remember the last time seeing a tripfag, let alone one that i'd remember.

>>150291556

>>150291455
True enough.

Perhaps the medium did better in the late 1990s, but Western fan culture really peaked in the late 2000s.

>>150291854
In terms of pure diversity, digital in less than 16 years destroys absolutely every previous decade put together.

The highest peaks though (at least in terms of production power) probably still belong to Akira, Honneamise and GitS. Although I guess an argument can be made for Redline and some Ghibli films (Ponyo and Kaguya especially).
