Painted cels.

Most animation these days is still hand drawn, but it's digitally colored and composited instead of being composited by hand with a camera.

You cannot do it on a computer, its never going to look the same.

In the year 2000 a company called Kyoto Animation was created. They made a show called Lucky Star completely by mouse and keyboard and thereby invented both digital animation and moe. This forever doomed anime to be shit.

>>156373570
Didn't look better.... newer shows have more better graphics than 70s 80s 90s crap..!

I just want my gory, nudity filled OVAs back

Create a pay-per-view online streaming service that works on smarttvs to host them and older content (for less/longer per yen). Give it marlboro miles to accumulate towards buying BRDs of certain content, including exclusives, at a significant discount.

I'm an old anime fan, but I think shows look good today. I still like the old look and everything, but computers have improved animation in a lot of ways.

Netflix doesn't do payperview, though. That is essential. As is BRD only sequels. The goal is to revitalize the market for gory nudie OVAs.

I don't like Kemono Friend's style at all. The show's alright, but it doesn't represent modern animation as a whole, and is an outside exception

Being a brother of two younger siblings I always thought this Twincest stuff was creepy as fuck being exposed to the real concept of this.

But I've always assumed the people who write such character must be single children who had a fetish about having a fuckable sibling.

There's no reason you wouldn't be able to recreate that look on a computer. You can look at digital art created by people who aren't talentless nostalgiafags to validate this yourself.

from my armchair psychologist perspective, I’ve noticed that most people I’ve met irl who are into incest are either a) single children or b) not close at all with their siblings

>>156377178
Which show do you think would look better?

Anime with an unlimited money, the best animators in to ever live, and an infinite supply of Korean slave animators, but the storyboards don't exist until the day before airing and the storyline is completely rewritten several times during broadcasting
Or a low budget anime where the mediocre animators know months in advance what they have to draw

I don't think they do for the most part. There were a lot of oversized foreheads. If a lot of work was put into the animation, sure; I love the look of frame-by-frame cel-animation - especially when it comes to action sequences. I just prefer the style of later decades.

Old anime had a certain look that was the product of its time due to different trends and tools used. Still, I wouldn't say it looked better but rather different. There's still good-looking anime to be found today.

>>156379457

Hardly surprising a chronic shitposter such as yourself would be new enough to even consider extensions like that. 4chanx is the defacto newfag litmus test. Pretty handy, really.

Shingo Yamashita's work in the Yozakura Quartet OVA remains his best work as a key animator. What a sequence.

I don't think so. HD really makes the bad animation look worse than it could. Look at DBZ, it looked pretty bad half of the times but still better than everything Toei is pumping out now. HD kind of makes the quality stand out like a sore thumb.

This. I miss having to manually refresh threads. I miss having to wade through countless spam threads on the front page, or 10 K-On generals. If only we could go back to the good ol' days of 4ch and anime.

It really doesn't though. The best today easily beats the best then, and same can be said for like a median or mean quality. If you prefer the aesthetic back then, fine, but technology has made things better and saying otherwise is simply denial

No it doesn't. Animated works from the 80s still looking fucking incredible unless you thing digital filters or something is vital to good animation.
