Is it worth it to go back and watch the vast multitudes of "old school" anime from the the 90's and early 2000's?
I mean we all know about Cowboy Bebop, Evangelion, Rurouni Kenshin, Naruto etc etc.
But it seems these days the majority of anime is centered around little girls and lewd SOL humor.
I distinctly remember a time when I watched Chobits, Ikki Tousen, Elfen Lied ETC ETC and enjoyed them, though in hindsight that stuff is junk.
I feel no real connection with the otaku community, regardless. I stopped keeping up back when Durarara, Haganai, PantyStocking etc were things.

There were a lot fewer anime, which means they were all a lot better.
Elfen Lied is trash, but it's better than most edgy anime made today.
Chobits is fine, it's just CLAMP.

>old school
>early 2000's
if there are classics you havent watched yet why would you bother keeping up with modern stuff?

treat the old school the same as the current stuff. look for series that catch your interests and give it a shot.
plus, not all the current stuff is otaku bait. look up season charts for the unique series.
I'm old, so I would say yes it's worth it. I remember Project A-ko being a lot of fun.

Moe is really nothing new. You were only aware of anime imported for western focus groups

Think for yourself, you weak-minded idiot. There are hundreds of anime to choose from. You're not obligated to watch everything. And judging from the tone of your post, you don't even like more recent anime, so go ahead.
