A Feel I Didn't See Coming

>Anime used to be about tough guys training to prepare for battle and people blasting each other with machinegun mounted dino tanks. It used to be about some dumbass having a harem of cute alien bitches trying to suck his pickle.

>Now it's about trying to get away with as much CG shit as possible.

I hate how everything uses flash now. Fuck. I wanna go back

I always see people shitting on others for having "nostalgia", but I never actually see anyone provide a solution. I honestly miss certain aspects of the way things used to be, and though I know I'm looking through a majority of it with rose tinted glasses, I can't help but to wonder what things would be like if we didn't get rid of everything as soon as it's deemed "inefficient" by some marketing team.

I really like having Netflix and YouTube at my disposal, but I really miss Blockbuster.

The internet is great and all, but I really miss the "world wide web" of the early 2000s. I love looking up facts on any given show's wiki page, but what about the fan driven "shrine" sites that used to be everywhere?

I've been rewatching the beginning of Furi Kuri (up until the title credit) a lot lately. It makes me think about how much promise life has when you're young, and how you hope that youth like Naota really do make it in the future, and don't just end up aimless, hopeless, and unhappy like yourself.

It's the kind of optimism you always hear about that supposedly saturated the late 90's, early 00's. Sure, you could foresee some bumps in the road up ahead, but the future has hardly ever seemed so bleak as it is now.

It's a very comfy show and the late 90s and early 00 were full of them. Seemed like that time was just going to go on forever but it didn't.

Similar feel op. Started watching Urusei Yatsura and it's one of the comfiest anime I've ever watched. It takes me back to a time when I was a kid getting up early on Saturday to watch cartoons and then later pretending to reenact all the crazy scenes with my brothers and this show has an aesthetic that takes me back. It doesn't have the crazy scenes from Dragonball but the aura it gives off is something of just pure happiness and innocence. That crazy things can happen everyday and that life is a mystery.

At least it isn't your Last Surprise.
