Why do people like showa anime It's not as if though I hate Showa anime, there's just legitimately nothing interesting that it can offer me.
I just can't sit down and watch 50 episodes of extremely formulaic and objectively bad acting and writing with little to no hook besides "hey im watching old thing this is neat i am so patrician". I'm not enough of a masochist to subject myself to that and I don't care enough about the opinions of others online to try and gain their approval by pretending that I think Showa anime is in any way actually better than any Heisei anime.

You know, Showa isn't a genre, anon. If you're going to say you hate old anime just say it.
What is Showa anime? Do you mean shonen? Showa is a period of time in Japanese history not a genre or style.
not all of it is bad, just most of it.

Apparently this is new /m/ pasta and OP needs to fuck off.
It's cheesier, more cartoony, and a bit stilted but that's the joy in it.

You are right, old anime is not better than new anime. The difference is that if you are old enough and actually watched these anime while they were relevant, you think of them through a nostalgia filter that makes them look amazing. If you did not have that experience and you're trying to watch them for the first time in 2017 you really shouldn't. You are never going to find that they are good since you will always be comparing them with what you are used to i.e. moe blob fantasy world idol incest shows and be disappointed. You missed out on being able to like these shows which is fine, at least you will get to say 30 years from now how Sword Art Online is a classic that redefined anime forever.
