EVERY DAY

N00b here and i don't watch anime a lot, but so far most shows i've watched were around 20 years old or older (ﾟー｀)

Last anime i watched was Haibane Renmei, and now i'm going through Cowboy Bebop

newer shows make me wanna puke, especially those that center around a gimmick, and it seems like it's the majority nowadays

Anime from the 2000s has always been my main jam, but I've enjoyed my occasional forays into stuff from the 80s & 90s too

I used to follow currently-airing anime around the late 2000s - early 2010s, but I got increasingly turned off by it until I stopped altogether. These days I pretty much only watch anime during Heyuri Cytube

both of the anime I'm watching right now are from the 80s lol

Shows I've finished by year of release:
1982: 1
1983: 1
1984: 1
1985: 3
1986: 2
1987: 7
1988: 5
1989: 4
1990: 5
1991: 3
1992: 3
1993: 3
1994: 4
1995: 10
1996: 5
1997: 6
1998: 10
1999: 7

2019: 2
2020: 2

So it seems the glory days at least to my taste was between the mid 00s and the early 10s.

I personally love 90s anime

I actually only watched a few anime from the 1980s. I'm planning on watching more, but I never seem to have enough time

What I did watch:
– Everything from Ghibli
– Akira
– Ranma
– Angel Egg
– Urusei Yatsura (only the TV Series)
...oh, and some episodes of Dragonball back in my childhood

>get with the times
look at your URL bar...

Heyuri is ahead of the times!!!!

I mostly watch sci-fi from the 80s and 90s although I have seen other types of anime from newer times. I'm currently watching Ginga Eiyuu Densetsu (Legend of the Galactic Heroes) and it's really good. I love military drama, and the main characters are all thought out and believable. It's not easy to make a show with so many characters and have most of them be memorable. I consider the 80s-90s to be the height of anime. But there are still shows being made that are good. I just think the pacing and writing of most of the shows made back are of a higher quality as compared to the 00s-10s. The look of cel animation and the style of sci-fi aesthetics back then also personally appeals to me. Not to say there weren't shitty, low-quality anime being produced back then, I just think the good shows made are generally superior to the good shows being made now.

1999-2009 was the height of moe. I hope someday there will be a second cumming of moe.

I want to get into more of the older series, especially the famous ones, to establish a basis of reference. But so much of it is derivative or mecha/robot shit. I can't get into it at all. Chicks might dig giant robots but I don't

I can't trust anyone who doesn't like mecha. They are never above suspicion. ( ´ω`)

And I don't trust people who use social media past the age of 18

honestly, I can get behind that ┐(ﾟ～ﾟ)┌
