is nostalgia a good thing? i'm listening to some OPs and

Nostalgia used to be better.

>>154810658
Sometimes it's good, sometimes it's bad. It depends on your general mental condition, I think. When you're already depressed, nostalgia might not cheer you up, it might just make you sadder, when you realize that the good times are gone.

Gintama OPs and EDs are the worst for this.

But Sorairo Days is a good OP to listen to if you're feeling down, it gets me pumped up.

Anybody else get oddly embarrassed listening to old OP/EDs you used to listen to all the time? Or am I just really autistic?

>>154810658
Nostalgia for me has often been a bad thing as it would be me watching earlier opening of Bleach and Naruto and it would bring me back to the days when I enjoyed those series.

these are regrets not nostalgia

When I rewatch anything I discover it was nowhere near as good as I though it was so I just stopped doing that.

this.
this is why i watch anime with my feelings not through the eyes of critic or something. i hope you get what i mean lol

>>154810809
Not cringe, no. Just a rush of emotion so I skip it.

It's not a joke that modern anime is a pile of SHIT.

Sometimes you get like 1 (one, single) show per YEAR and that shit lasts for years now.

Pre-2010 was the best era in anime. Now it's really degrading hard.

>>154811335
Anime was never good you just grew up. You should have learnt to shut off your brain by now.

>>154810809
I tend to listen to old OPs and EDs all the time but I don't find that embarrassing at all.

I remember when people used to say pre-2006.

This post is fucking me up.

>>154811529
it's all fresh and exciting just give it a couple of years of watching seasonal anime and you will feel like us

>>154811644
So far I haven't watched anything people consider a classic or was groundbreaking so maybe I'll go back to stuff that was agreed to be good when I get bored.

>>154811713
that's the best thing you could do. seasonal anime is cancer and will make you hate anime as whole

>>154811758
This season seem to be decent as far as I can tell. I'm coming off from being a /co/fag so my bar is low.

can we all agree on something. seasonal anime is trash. go back and watch stuff at least pre-2010

What was the latest show that can even be considered classic material? Madoka?

>>154811798
You say that as if pre-2010 wasn't full of seasonal garbage as well. Granted, at least there were some good shows every now and then.

>>154811617
In 2022 people will say pre-2015

>>154811335
Anime is and always has been hit-or-miss. Most of it is trash or only worth a single viewing.

I really like 90s - mid 2000s anime.
Like, there's no reason that Tenchi Muyo should be so palatable to me when I have no recollection
of it existing when I was younger, yet I only watch one or two modern shows that are exceptional.

>>154812132
I haven't watched Geass but even I know what that refers to.

I've recently been listening to old OPs and EDs, too.

This one in particular, always gets me hyped up:

Vandread OP, and Gatekeeper, too.
Thanks, AXN.
Shit was sooo good.

Nostalgia always depresses me, because deep down I know I will never be able to go back and feel the exact way I could then. Every step into maturity for me (over 20 under 30 currently) seems to make me more numb; and I long wistfully for the days when atleast some things could feel okay. Don't feel too bad, Anon. I get what you mean entirely.

>>154812182
Getting older fucking sucks. I'm 26 and I feel like I can't fucking enjoy anything anymore.

you what is sad? there are people here who never heard of Haruhi let alone watched it. one the biggest phenomenon the majority of /a/ don't know about it.

>>154812238
this.
i'm 24 and i feel all new anime is trash

>>154812246
*know

>>154812246
I rewatched Haruhi the last week for the first time since 2008 and fuck it was total shit. Nostalgia googles are one hell of a drug, I regret breaking the illusion for myself.

>>154812263
Congrats, I didnt realize it until I was 29.

>>154812325
good thing i realized that earlier but fuck 29!! dude i feel bad for you

>>154812320
listen man do not and i mean DO NOT rewatch an anime you love especially if it so nostalgic to you believe you will regret it

Haruhi was successfully annihilated by shitty season 2 with K-on garbage visual style.

>>154812459
Haruhi was killed by the author not releasing any new books. S2 looked better.

also there are new material from when the anime ended that at least give us 12 episode

>>154812360
formulaic doesnt necessarily mean bad

>>154810658
You only get the bad type of nostalgia when your life is shit. Fix yourself.

>>154812781
You get no nostalgia at all if your life is shit

>>154812656
There is more material, that's true, but without an ongoing series, the publisher isn't going to feel that pushing for an adaptation is worthwhile.

I've never felt nostalgia and i'm pushing early to mid 30's.
What's wrong?

>>154812819
>tfw recently rewatched Gurren Lagann and it's absolutely amazing

I can't believe people say they like it less after they've watched more anime.

>>154812995
S2 is pure shit tho

I think nostalgia is the main reason I even watch anime nowadays. I rewatch some old favorites once a year, and interestingly enough some of those are series that I didn't even enjoy greatly while airing but afterwards some sort of fucked up nostalgia goggles have made them really enjoyable. Hanasaku Iroha is one of the worst offenders, I watch it every summer and to this day I have no idea why.

No other medium even comes close to giving that relaxing nostalgic feel. Sometimes I even get the nostalgic feeling when watching anime I've never seen before, usually with pre-90's anime. Like Maison Ikkoku, there's some sort of strange magic there.

I know, that's my case entirely.
I'm accused of hating everything and they're probably right, things are probably just as bad as they always were.
Growing up in the 90s economic bubble really didn't help ease us into 2001 and beyond though.

Glad this doesn't happen with SoL, rewatching K-on is just as the first time, goofy and happy, and even better because I gained lerance to anisongs wih the time.

Have NINE OLD WITCH img with Shiny Rod?

>>154812238
26 isnt old anon. dont be too eager to let go of your youth.

24 is still a baby.

>>154810658
I think LWA is a shitty show for kids, which trigger managed to sell to you just with some gaijin pandering.

>>154812095
I tried. I probably wouldn't have watched it even if I was here while it was airing.

>>154818731
Spoken like a true 30 something unable to accept how old they really are.

>>154818832

No one cares what you think

>>154819001
its true you seem as children to me.

even though you are powerless against time, you can still live. the fact that you feel nostalgia and regret means there is something in you that wants to reach higher. there is no perfect life, just your own.

>>154811956
Haha literally me

>>154819148
OP does. In fact he asked me exactly that.

Too much of it is self destructive and can lead you down the CWC road
Otherwise, it's perfectly normal to reminisce.

/a/ is a bunch of middle aged adults having their mid life crisis.

You wish.

You should only re-watch slice of life shows. Others won't live up to your hype fueled first watch.
