Sup /m/. Survey question: When do you consider an anime old?

According to the few anime-watching people I speak to off of /m/ anything earlier than Evangelion is practically unwatchable, so I suppose that means anything earlier than Eva is old.

70s/80s

If it aired in my lifetime, then I don't really consider it old.

>>11056916
>unwatchable
Ugh, I hate how /a/ rips on Zeta for it's animation, then worships all these bright flashy computer generated moe animes like K-ON

>mfw when I like the dulled, hand drawn color pallet

Prior to the 90s. As a 19 year old I can't consider things I saw as a child on Toonami to be old.

>>11057008
Same here. That's why I can't fucking stand /a/. They chew on me for watching Rurouni Kenshin and ask why I'm not watching [insert moe schoolgirl anime here] and why I go outside on weekends rather than spending 12 hours masturbating to Touhou characters

>>11056898

It's as I would expect. Every season they show a bunch of new moeblobs. Gotta love them moeblobs.
>>11057018
>leaving your house on the weekend

>not masturbating to touhou characters
Why aren't you masturbating to Gundam characters?

Anything older than Katsudou Shashin

This is actually an interesting question. I wonder if people on /a/ would be willing to watch old Disney shorts from the 30s and 40s. The answer's probably no.

This. At 21, anything pre-Toonami anime is older than what I was introduced to the medium with. I'll watch just about anything that sounds interesting, though. I've seen people on /a/ who view everything pre-widescreen standardization as "a neanderthal aspect ratio that I refuse to watch." It's fucking ludicrous.

> last 5 or 10 years
> specified pre-2000
> last 5 or 10 years

I have news for you anon.

Personally, I'd say anything more than about 10 or 15 years in age is old, because media isn't rated on the same scale as a human lifetime. Especially a media as young as animation. There's only two age brackets it can fit in to after all: old or new. I can't consider something made 10 years ago to be new really, therefor it's old.

if i can't find decent subs for it, odds are likely its either really new or its just hit the old factor for me, so basically everything from mazinger z and back, and even then, old isn't necessarily bad, i'll watch stuff like the original astro boy or gigantor or tetsujin 28 or the like, but it has to actually be decent like everything else if its crap i don't know why you are watching it.

You two have weird opinions. I'm 24 and I can admit Gundam Wing is an old anime now. You really cannot deny that over ten years is a long time. You're getting older, you've got to deal with it.

>>11057183
Just because I'm going to be 20 in just a year doesn't mean I'm old. I'm not getting old. I'm still young. I'm not old, I'm not old, I'm not old...

I have a huge boner for old stuff, I love the 70's anime style even if it's totally obsolete compared to the 80's, which is my favourite anime period. I think the 90's is the most boring period for anime, with only Eva standing out, along with some obscure OVAs and movies.

I think most people dismiss "old anime" because they think of the 90s, which didn't have much to offer.

>>11057263

THere's no accounting for shit taste. The mid to late 90's is a delicious buffet of fantastic robot anime, particularly from Sunrise.

>>11057308
Big O's noir style stands out compared to a lot of anime.

>>11057290
>>11057296
>>11057316
As much as you like Big O, it didn't change anything about anime, neither did the AU gundam series or the Brave series. They had cool animation and glorious moments but we could've had way better than this. Even big hits like Sailor Moon or Pokemon are just another magical girl and a time bokan clone.

The 90's were mostly divided between an anime industry dedicated to kids and an OVA market pandering to otaku and edgy teenagers.

>>11057395
You can make any generation sound as stupid as that. In the 70's everything was a Mazinger clone and in the 80's everything was a Gundam clone and in the 00's everything was a Haruhi clone.

>>11057106
Crayon Shin-chan started in the 90s.

Any anime about a decade old or more I think can be considered "older", as far as anime goes. Not ancient, exactly, but a 2001 production like, say, Digimon Tamers looks a lot different from a production from 2014. (It doesn't help that it was in that awkward period of early digital animation where quality was... varied, to put it best)

The age of an anime doesn't matter a lick to me. Good animation comes from all eras, whether it's a groundbreaking work or just something that's fun and looks alright. Recently I've been watching old kids shows from the 90's (because Brave series and Fun Fun Pharmacy are awesome), but I'm cool with animation from any era, from 60's Tezuka adaptations like Dororo to modern works like Sidonia.

Sometimes I worry people around here worry too much about the age and aesthetic and period a work comes from more than the works themselves. Can't we just enjoy good anime, instead of ONLY anime from the 70's/80's/90's/00's?

>>11056898
>When do you consider an anime old?
I could just say "never because I'm not a faggot" but I'm just gonna go with 70's.

I still don't give a shit how old something is...except for the part where I instinctively avoid anything made after 2000.

>>11056898
I'm not really picky about old anime, but if I had to draw a line somewhere, it will be at 1985/Zeta.

>>11057508
>Sometimes I worry people around here worry too much about the age and aesthetic and period a work comes from more than the works themselves. Can't we just enjoy good anime, instead of ONLY anime from the 70's/80's/90's/00's?
Those are eiter trolls or autists, no one actually does that, especially when anime is an industry full of otaku and anime from our era can look and feel like something older (Shin Mazinger, Space Dandy or KlK are pretty good examples).

1970s is when I consider an anime 'old'. But that doesn't stop me from watching it either.

>>11057267
>implying
wow people still do this?
and yeah i really can't watch new stuff from the season because it's pretty much shit. maybe i'd watch a show that's airing once in a while, but most of the time i'm not since only shit is airing. i can't fathom how people watch 3, 5, hell 10+ different shows that are airing without realizing how bad they are.

Your opinion is garbage

>>11057668
I wish it were true, but I know way too many people who do have mindsets like that. All new anime is shit, only old anime is good, every show from the 80's was good, all shows from the 00's are awful, etc. It's a damn shame, because there's great stuff across all generations of anime, but people have to find reasons beyond the shows themselves to hate them.

>>11057729
it had something going on with the first few episodes, and once they introduced "ironic cliches", the show went downhill. you can't tell me that show was any good, honestly it felt like they were writing it as it went along.

>>11057668
People actually do that. I've heard someone recommend Diebuster because "it looks nicer" than Gunbuster. I don't doubt that the person recommending it hadn't watched Gunbuster too.

>>11057745

>>11057749
A friend of mine does that. He refuses to watch Gunbuster because he says it's old and the animation "is garbage" and Diebuster is one of his favorite anime.

Funnily enough he has the most stereotypically /v/ taste in anime of anyone I've ever met and actually thinks he knows shit about anime.

Obviously there is no one particular style in anime, since a lot of them have their own unique char designs but something like this pic here.

I watch things from just about all periods because I'm not a faggot. I find girls from the 80's and 70's especially cute and I appreciate the episodic nature of a lot of 70's anime. I have trouble finding newer anime to watch mainly because I don't like watching anime adaptions of other works.

As for old, I usually refer to it as anything before 2000.

>>11056898
>When do you consider an anime old?
Early 80's or earlier.

I don't consider DBZ or Eva older and I'm 21. I judge age by how old the medium is. I guess that's strange. I don't consider Super Mario 64 old, but consider Super Mario Bros. 3 old for example.

That being said I can watch all eras, though I prefer 80s and early 2000s for some reason.

Also I have a question for you guys. How do you deal with people who think they know more about you in a subject they don't even spend time with? I know a guy who's tried to convince me during the time of Pacific Rim hype that nobody's watched Eva and the movie was a rip-off of Big-O. I tried to tell him about mecha history and Mazinger and Del Toro's taste but he didn't listen. Also he loves SnK.

Another guy I know tried to tell me DmC Dante is the same Dante as the ones in 1-4 even after I showed him wiki. His argument against me was they were both named Dante and I know he walked away still thinking he was right.

When it comes to stuff like anime or video games or whatever I like to watch it, try every genre, learn about it's history, etc. So it super annoys me when someone who doesn't even care about something like mecha lectures me about it. No idea how to deal with it. It's like bitch, you don't waste your life like I do.

>>11057975

> Also I have a question for you guys. How do you deal with people who think they know more about you in a subject they don't even spend time with?

Let them wear themselves out basically. If they insist on talking about something I have no interest in, or which they show a lack of knowledge about or what have you I'll just stop replying beyond a mmm, hmmm or other rote responses until they change the subject while I zone out. I don't really care if they're wrong or misinformed if they're not going to care to be corrected. It's not like they're wrong about anything important after all.

My cutoff line is my own birthday. If it's older than me then it's officially "old". 1988 and older.

>>11057808
As somebody who likes the character, that asshole has made any legitimate discussion about her impossible on /m/.

>>11058018

That's pretty doubtful. If you start a thread with some actual legitimate questions or discussions on her it'll probably do as well as any other character discussion thread. Most threads for her are just image dumps or people acting creepy, but I've seen and tried to participate in some actual discussion of her on occasion and I don't even particularly like her, I just consider her well conceived and executed.

So can someone tell me why there are so many pictures of Bright eating a burger? There's like three active threads with an image related to that right now.

Anything older then 10 years.

So currently things made before 2005, mind you this moves every year and so.

And Old does not mean bad or better, i just think that a decade is a nice marker.

There are stylistic chioces that are common in most decades (SHADING), but i just say something like "xxies animation" when talking about those to make more clear exactly what.

However do note that /m/in general have much stronger appreciation for classic series then /a/ thus will pretty much in variably recommend classic 70ies/80ies/Early 90ies shows and OVAs over the newer when given the chance.

I grew up in the 90s/early 2000s so I was raised on Pokemon, Digimon, etc. Nowadays things like Digimon Adventure are considered fairly old to me. However, anything in the 70s/80s is considered "retro" in my opinion.

And I don't think age = quality. Although I dislike the popularity of the moe genre, there's still quite a few good series out there that are recent. Space Dandy in particular is a standout series. I watch anime based on if the plot interests me.
