Why is older anime so much more dynamic than modern titles?

>>21462
Three factors.
1. The people doing the animation were very talented, very obsessed people who did it as much as a hobby as a job. There's talented people today, but there was a real boom of them in the early 80s that went on through.
2. Lots of small production companies that meant that creative projects could get up the ground much easier than today.
3. Bubble economy: tons and tons of cash was flying around and people would invest a lot more into productions to get good results as well as invest in the aforementioned projects and studios and individuals.
