Phew! Just in time for the retro cutoff so it can now be considered a "classic". Imagine the shitposting that would occur if this was just a few years later. Could it have reached possibly SEED and G-Reco levels?

people still hate it for being boring, when it was made doesn't change that fact. I think they're crazy but what do i know

This is not /a/. The "classic" cut off was in 1989.
>>14178351
Nah, classic /m/ is pre-1987

Someone wasn't there for that Sochie vs. Dianna thread...
>>14178636
Which one? There's been lots.

Don't be daft mate. The 1999/2000 quality cutoff is for video games. Anime uses the end of Golden Age to determine what's crap and what's not. That's roughly 1996.

/vr/ is the one that flips out over a 99 cutoff. /m/ flips out over a 89 cutoff get it right nerd.

As has been said, the anime 'classic' cutoff is 1989. Specifically January 7, 1989, because Heisei a shit. A SHIT.

Sounds about right.
