I hope so, I didn't make the thread to be ignored!

I don't even care if this is bait. Digitally produced anime is a thing of the 00s, and that is your big difference. 00s onward have a much cleaner look, and with the passing of time you can see more use of layered effects (I swear some studios are addicted to Adobe After Effects) and filtered photographs for backgrounds.

Not bait, it's just an examination of the way the human brain works. It's like how 1950s/1960s black and white television seems horribly crusty and boring, but old people's brains must process it differently since it seems... not crusty and boring.
Not that I dislike '90s anime! It's old enough to feel charmingly quaint, but it's not ancient to the point of being detrimental.

>>154675387
>>154675561
Thank you for the explanation, by the way!
So, it's safe to say that basically every anime during the 2010s uses digital animation. Did the same hold true for the 2000s? (This refers to the entire decade, not just the later '00s)

80s and 90s are equivalent in the sense of "looking old", the difference is in stylistic choices. 70s has some nice stuff but you can see people were still learning to work with more detailed characters and events (I believe budgets were smaller too).

Only 50s will look absolutely corny for me. Since you're younger and probably never saw it, just try to watch a few Speed Racer episodes to see it.

>>154675725
I think early 00s was already 90% digital, but don't quote me on that

Oh yeah cunt? Well I was born in March 99 and the 90s were the pinnacle of anime

You don't know what old looks like until you try to watch an anime from the 70's. That is true suffering.

But no, the 2000's were a time of change where studios were transitioning over to digital. Its more or less the same kind of progress we've seen with CGI. It starts off kind of slow and looks like crap half the time but the more it gets used the better it starts to look. I will note that CGI is very different from digital animation in that it doesn't really improve on much of anything. Whereas digital was suppose to be a step up from cel animation, CGI feels like two steps backwards. But I digress.

The short answer is that the 00's are full of anime that have both cel and digital animation but the quality varies wildly from series to series. Keep in mind that this was a brand new technique for those people so there were a lot of kinks and bugs to work out which are essentially nonexistent today.

And to address the OP question, I was born in the 90' and I've been watching anime since Pokemon hit the states. Sailor Moon, DBZ, Card Captor Sakura, Flint the Time Detective, Monster Hunter, Yugiou. I lived through the big anime boom in the west and I should be the perfect candidate to be a nostalgiafag but I don't think I'm one. I love 90's series as much as older and currently airing ones but I I will never deny the fact that as a whole anime looks much better than it ever has in history. The animation is consistently more fluid, less reused animation, less mistakes, backgrounds generally look good. Of course it all boils down to personal preference and there are just as many good older anime as there are bad modern anime (and cel vs digital arguments are pointless) but digital animation has truly perfected the medium imo.

I think if you were to look at all the anime for each year you would find that a lot of it is bland looking or outright shit. Save a few gems which would now be considered classics.

And as for your question about how our brains process old anime I only have this to say...

Born 1992. I only started actually watching anime around 1999/2000 maybe, but that general 90's artstyle gives me a ton of nostalgia for some reason.

>>154676313
I find 90s anime has a nice aesthetic to it that probably can't be captured by modern technology without jumping through hoops to imitate it

But if it means less filler garbage that exist to pad the anime I'll take modern anime because 90s pacing is the worst thing about anything produced back then

So during 2000 and 2001, hand-drawn anime weren't too uncommon yet? Very interesting if I'm reading that right.

>>154678848
Depends on how you define clean. Early-mid 00s will look blurry on modern screens because of resolution issues for basically everything, forever, except miracle cases like Gundam SEED where they kept the original lineart and repainted it for the HD remaster.

Meanwhile, older stuff is usually stored on 16mm film, which is basically 1080p. However, it will have film grain, uneven paint mixing, and small physical imperfections like brush strokes, while digital has perfect flat colors matched perfectly in every scene and only even lines unless they deliberately tried for a brush effect.

Of course, it's also a lot easier to zoom analog assets and have them look good than it is to zoom digital if you plan poorly.

>>154679100
Anime today is still hand-drawn.

>>154679180
lmao

You're just blind kid.
Watch something like Harlock before you call something old.
Then watch Gigantor to see something that actually has some age under it's belt.

I can glance at a movie and guess when it was made, at least as far as which half of the decade.

>>154679100
"Hand-drawn" is still by far the most common; the modern process is scanning lineart and then inking/painting/compositing it digitally.

But yeah, for example Pokemon and Doraemon were produced on cel through 2002, as was Galaxy Angel; Inuyasha switched in 2003. Turn A ended in 2000 on cel, SEED started in 2002 digital.

>>154679351
In almost all anime, barring things like Sidonia and the new Berserk movies, you have image related done on paper.

We're talking about the switchover from "cel" animation, where after that was finished you stapled it to a transparent sheet of plastic that you then handpainted and photographed onto film; to "digital" animation, where after that's finished it gets scanned and attacked with Photoshop brushes and the fill tool.
"Digital" looks different because it lacks the small imperfections in texture and color accuracy caused by the physical sheet of plastic/brush/film/paint quality.

"3DCG" animation, which is done entirely with computers, is its own thing that we're not talking about at the moment. It looks different in its own way, typically by looking "too smooth" or by accurately depicting perspective and motion that a human artist would stylize.

I was born in '92.

That being said, it takes cartoons from the 60s for it to feel REALLY old.

I can tell stuff from the 80s was made in that decade, but it doesn't feel "dated".

I dunno. Maybe I'm just getting old too.

>>154679615
Thank you so much, this is all so interesting!

How far do you think 3DCG has come since the 2000s? I think the first purely CG anime was 2005 or so. CG anime still looks pretty outlandish, but do you think that during the 2020s as hardware and software develops that CG anime could look similar to 'normal' anime?

>>154675904
>I think early 00s was already 90% digital, but don't quote me on that

I'm not sure if this is the best of sources but Excel Saga states that "anime nowadays are made with computers" and that show aired 1999. They also zoomed in and showed off the pixels. It's from episode 17 "Animation USA".

>>154679749
I was born in 1987, and though I enjoy anime of all time periods, I definitely don't have to go as far back as the '60s for things to feel dated. Here's an anime opening from 1981: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4hSuPdW_i_s Everything about this screams 'old.' It's the style of opening that series like Lucky Star and Sora no Otoshimono parody, except it's authentic.

The cutoff point where things start feeling somewhat fresh and modern to me is probably about 1984. Magical Fairy Persia is a good example, which feels old enough to be retro but fresh and modern enough to be accessible. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=okI9yKh3pHU

1999 and a good show is still a good show. People that won't watch something because it was made in 80's and 90's frustrate me. Of course they'll gladly watch NGE.

>>154675074
/a/ is for 25 or older male fans. Don't post anymore.

>>154679773
3DCG has come amazingly far, but it's not necessarily only a hardware or software issue. A lot of it is human effort in adding the choppiness and imprecise movement and perspective we expect from human animation - which makes it in turn more expensive, less automatable, and less of a cost advantage over hiring people.
If you want a comparison, this is from memory and I may have the exact point incorrect, but compare Valk and missile movement in Macross Frontier before and after episode 17. Before, they look bad because they move in what are accurate 3d lines; after they look better because they move smoothly in the 2d plane we're shown, even though this would involve all sorts of weird acceleration and deceleration.

>>154679981
By 1999, the switch was under way in places. Some shows like Lost Universe even flipped back and forth scene-to-scene.

>>154680054
The early '80s saw an absolute flood of fresh money and enthusiastic cheap labor come into the industry. It was a massive cultural leap as opposed to the ~'00 tech one.

As a Millenial / Gen Z, take it from me: Your question is misguided.

You should not only lurk more, but actively seek anime from before your time.

Habane Rinmei, Gunbuster, Leiji Matsumoto anime, Urusei Yatsura, Kimagure, Angel Cop, Macross, Lupin, GiTS...

I have personally tired of the new style in many shows. I find contemporary anime lacking in flair. Oddly, Bones and Aniplex shows get me going pretty well still. Un-Go, Monogatari, etc are good.

I collect cels as a small hobby, so I'm biased, but cel animation had more benefits than modern methods - despite being so damn taxing on people.

For other young people who want to learn instead of keeping these weird prejudices: I recommend watching Golden Boy for a good introduction to what cel animation can do for a one-off show.

As much as they can get ragged on for not being a part of the "wild west" days of the internet and watching it evolve, having access to an incredible selection of media and being able to acquire it easily and quickly throughout youth sounds blissful. The future of internet security and law may change that but this decade so far has been a good time to be young on the internet.

Agreed, though it depends on the medium in question. I was born in 1987, and by the summer of '99 when I was 11, the ROM/emulator scene was very established and robust. I'll never forget the rush I felt at being able to download any NES, Super Nintendo, Sega Genesis, Gameboy, etc title I wanted - several thousand games altogether.

As for anime and television in general, though, yeah, there's no comparison. That didn't really start becoming super convenient and mainstream until Youtube was opened in 2005.

The first example of something usually sets a standard that is heavily copied. The consequence of that is that the 'template,' or original show, is mirrored in all subsequent versions and remakes, along with each new improvement or change. It only takes a short time before the original version appears to be another example of a 'typical show' but without any of the improvements which have now become the new standard.

Or you could just read the 'Seinfeld Effect' on tvtropes. The only standard-setter that avoided this effect was the original Doom, which is usually still seen as an excellent first person shooter, when players give themselves a little time to get used to the lower visual fidelity.

Part of the reason I love re-watching stuff from the 80s and 90s in crisp 1080p is because the image quality is often so clear that you can see the little imperfections in the individual cels.

We all have Loliball on the brain. Tenshi no 3P has caused an influx of Ro-Kyu-Bu threads.

I kind of agree with this. Back before the Internet became the primary way of watching anime, any series that was localized felt like a big deal in a time when you had to buy stuff on VHS. It kind of forced you to get to know shows better and find good in them, even when they weren't that great. Now with the Internet, you just try to find the closest-to-perfect shows in a giant sea of shit. I also think this is why people nostalgia so hard over old shows that aren't as great as they remember them being. They just stood out more back then.

I started watching anime in about 2006 or something, but aside from standouts like Yuasa shows, Madoka, etc., in general digital 2000's and 2010's anime look kinda... bad in terms of animation to me subjectively.

I feel 80's and 90's shows like Shoujo Kakumei Utena, Slayers, GTO, Evangelion, Dragon Ball, Bubblegum Crisis, etc. are nicer to look at such that I only really watch anime from that time.

Don't crucify me, but I've always wondered why anime (and even western cartoons) seemed to have a similar style every decade until the mid 2000s
>60's 70's- scooby doo, speed racer
>80's 90'S- FoTN, DBZ, He-man

>>154675074
Of course they don't look less old. The question I think you're trying to ask is do they look less bad to us. Well, plenty of stuff from the 90s looked pretty crap, and plenty of other stuff from the 90s looked pretty good. Specific age has nothing to do with that; it's down to how much effort was put in at the time.

If you think it all looks the same, you just don't have the attention to detail to notice the difference.

>>154681517
'60s example is weak, but '70s-early '00s a ton of American stuff was outsourced to Japan. Think the recent Marvel shows except not promoted as anime.

After South Park took off in particular, execs realized that it was nice to pay the Elevens $100k for an episode that would cost $1m here, but it was even nicer to throw a few interns a baggie of weed and a Macromedia install disc. And thus it stopped except for deliberate attempts to sell to the Japanese or weeaboo markets.

I've been here since 2006. Every day is just despair.

>>154676313
Visual quality is just a bonus, or a side effect. The biggest benefits of the transition to digital and now CG happen during the production process. Among other things, digital animation simplified the storage and transmission of anime, while CG allows for more complex motions and greater consistency. Both of them have together allowed the anime industry to continue to scale up over the past couple decades to the size it is now.

It's sad how many people reject shows like Kemono Friends or Ajin just because of the CG.

Eh, at some point representational media acquire their own styles beyond representation, and keep their own relevance by adherence to such in opposition to accuracy. Traditional animation, no matter what the physical process, is always going to have adherents for the same reason that you've heard of Degas but not of Sprouls.

>>154681844
>Both of them have together allowed the anime industry to continue to scale up over the past couple decades to the size it is now.

Now that I think about it, there was a huge influx in anime during the Spring 1998 season; it was the first season to reach not just 30 anime, but 40 anime as well. Apparently anime started utilizing digital processes around 1995.

And I love Kemono Friends' visuals. They're so charming and surreal. It feels more otherworldly to me than 'normal' anime.

Oldishfag here. Born 9/94, so I'm young compared to other /a/ relics.

I wasn't old enough to watch 90s anime as it came out, but I wouldn't say it looks old, rather that newer anime looks new. The old stuff was a lot simpler, so it looks bland when measured against modern anime, which is covered with special effects and high-quality animation.
Still, there's this feeling of veneration that comes with old stuff that isn't present in the modern shows, but that's probably just psychology.

>>154682013
>Apparently anime started utilizing digital processes around 1995.
Earlier than that even, but not terribly commonly. The earliest I've heard of computers being used to assist the process in anime was Akira, back in 1988.

>>154680054
I think we can go older than that, I saw Cobra recently and god fucking dammit does it look good.

>>154682145
To clarify since I was unclear on that, I meant in TV series rather than movies. The 1983 Golgo 13 movie was the first anime to use CG. The opening song (which is one of the two points in the film where CGI is utilized) is really awesome and really 80s. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kuYCFoVY1Mw

>>154682221
In that case, the earliest TV anime I can recall use of CGI in is Patlabor, in 1989.

Love Hina was the first anime to be colorized completely by computer. Before that you had mostly handmade cell shading over watercolor backgrounds. So yes, anime was mostly made differently back then, and so it looked different. Compare and Contrast live action movies that use practical special effects versus newer movies that mostly or entirely use CGI. I'm not saying one is better than the other, only that the eye can tell a difference

>>154681506
You know they used to broadcast I Love Lucy among other things on Nick at Nite, right? And there were plenty of other places to watch older shows.

>>154682803
At the very least if you're gonna have so many bangles on, put on ones made from gold.

I'm in my late 20s and I'd say yeah 90s anime definitely looks older. I was introducing Evangelion to my gf, not having watched it myself in 4 years or so, and I thought to myself how much older it looked than I remembered it being.

If you want to see something that displays what you're talking about look at "how to draw anime" books from the 90's and 00's vs online tutorials of today.

Features have smoothed out significantly and angles are less harsh.

>>154681057
The thing about anonymous forums and boards is that the pressure of staying engaged in a conversation is minimal, so it's easy to be introverted and "keep your energy in place," on some parts of the Internet.

>>154679062
It's hard to not hear that scratchy audio and 80s voice acting.

BD remasters for shows like Bebop and CCS look miles better than pretty much any show these days. Even some shows from the late 70s/early 80s still look really nice.

>>154683110

>>154675074

A lot of anime from the 90's looks more dated than I remember it being when I was younger. Most 80's anime still look great to me. They seem to have had more of a focus on detail back then that kind of fell to the wayside in the 90's. Mid aughts anime though look fucking atrocious to me. I don't even know how I ever found them watchable.

Whenever this argument comes up I think back to this scene:

Better question. Why doe shows from the 90s look a lot better than say anime from the 00s-10s, the quality is very noticeable on BD but did the digital switch over really fuck things over for early 00s shows?

>>154688727
Get out

>>154686940
Alive ROOM?!

>>154688755
Shows from the early 00s were animated in SD resolutions. This doesn't affect anime animated on cels. Also, a lot of anime between 2006 and 2012 actually look great, it's only after that it devolved into what it looks like today.

Okay, that's it. I'm done. Watch old anime, we were born just in time to watch BD remasters of all the best stuff.

95 here though i liked dbz and pokemon whe i was little they look like shit and the plot is super dull. Still love them, but just as nostalgia value. I mean i can only watch old anime if they are a true masterpiece like legend of the galactic heroes and even there it was harsh
