Do I have to leave this board if the only anime I've watched that predates 1988 are clips from future funk videos or is there still hope for me to not be a normalfag pleb

I watched G and Zeta, the rest don't seem nearly as good so I haven't bothered
wait those are both 90s right?

Zeta is from 85, but it's a sequel to the original anime from 79 so I don't know how you managed to follow.

I think dragon ball is from like 1987.
You haven't watched that?
if you say things like normalfag pleb then you are trying too hard and by virtue of that fact you do need to leave

I didn't count DB because it felt analogous to saying "Yeah I'm really into anime, I watched Pokemon as a kid!"

Oh fuck awesome I'm not a pleb and don't have to lurk for another two years thank haruhi
Also this helps me understand why I was so lost in the beginning of the series, I thought I was just retarded or using bad subs

No you don't have to leave, literally most of this board is evidence that it's overrun by dumb contemporary shonenshit fags who avoid old anime at all costs.

It's good to have varied taste and an understanding of how anime has changed over the years, but just watching older shows bc you feel pressured to by anonymous people on the internet is even more retarded and pathetic than having no taste or understading at all. You shoud watch shows because you enjoy them and want to learn about them, otherwise it's all pointless.
Protip tho: if there's an older series which is long (like almost all older TV series), check if it's a manga adaptation first. If it is, just read the manga. It'll usually be shorter, better paced and more coherent. This is due to the trend of older shows adding in extra bits to the story to pad the length of adaptations because the industry standard was to have all shows be around 50 eps back then, but most manga couldn't stretch that far in just a 1:1 adaptation.
