... you get that smile off your dirty face and you get off my gorramn lawn. Bakemonogatari is as anime as Evangelion. Just... similar subject matter handled differently. (IE, boil it down to "a bunch of people with serious psychological issues hang out and do stuff together".) Although I think Bake makes more sense over the long haul and is more enjoyable, but I like the witty talking more than I like Shinji whining inside his mom.
Relevant to other bits, from the Tsukihi Phoenix book ; "When the Adaptation Begins, the Original Suffers." "Well, not so much the original, but the original creator."
Hmm. It's funny, in the book all these jokes about an anime adaptation are made by the supernatural related people and Araragi... mostly Oshino and Mayoi, so far as I can tell, thus far. (The above comes after a period in which Hachikuji and Koyomi are discussing changed hair styles, and how that means the animators can't re-use cells. Or how people watching a second season might not recognize a character because of them changing styles/hair. While Araragi is firmly in the camp that one season is all they'd get if they're lucky.)
Putting all that aside, though...
The true elitists are the ones that won't watch anything too old because it's "eye cancer" or "full of tropes". I mean, some of those tropes exist because of those old anime... and making fun of tropes has been cool since before Excel Saga. (I wonder if Nabeshin will ever appear in the future.)

Outlaw Star is another old show that still holds up. Only irritating part is the constant moaning about the Ley Lines.

On the subject of old anime, Silver Fang will forever be one of my favorite shows. Still remember being glued in front of the TV as a kid.

Kobayashi OVA is out! Watching now. Will edit with impressions after.
+ Show Spoiler [Kobayashi] +Really good OVA. The hot springs was a fun departure and they made good on using it for everything.
Fan service was legit and the comedy was on point. Overall, a good 25 minute episode to remind us who the best girl from last (?) season was.

I don't know man. I just see a 30 year old youngster acting like an 80 year old man. Lighten up. You'll have plenty of time to get old and grumpy  . Anime from the 90s is barely even old. There were some good anime but like anything there was plenty of awful anime.
As much as I despise the whole "don't watch anime older than 2008!", I also dislike the whole "anime in the 90s was so good now it's so bad!". Shit has always existed and will always exist.

While I agree overall with your last statement Numy, I have not had a single bad experience with an old anime. Old being anime in the 70/80/90 etc... Ranma, Touch, Kimigure and all the other stuff I listed earlier were all a great watch. There's something magical about old anime imo.

Of course tastes in anime is subjective. Not denying that. And compared to the amount of anime that comes out now, the 90s are old in terms of style and substance. You won't find a Ninja Scroll or Golgo 13 or even a Bubblegum Crisis these days, that hearken back to when it was about story and style and not just flash, woman shy MCs, or shallow shounen. Even Yu Yu Hakusho was really well made.
I'll watch anime in any time period if it is good.

New Game!! ep12 is out and man was it good. I got scared and it was really what everyone thought it was going to be but it was still such an amazingly cute episode I couldn't help myself smile through the entire thing. Really good second season and I hope I'm going to get a third season sometime in the future... although they'd probably have to do some kind of timeskip or people will really burn down whereever Doga Kobo is located.
But man what a good ending. We got everthing we were waiting for.

You're comparing classics with forgettable seasonals though, all the bad content from the pre-2000's has more or less been filtered out by now.

The thing is, there are much more anime now than there were back then. You are also watching more anymore now then you were back then. And last but not least you are probably more critical now then you were back then. I'm honest here, I loved stuff like Beyblade and Yugioh when I was in my early teens. If I rewatched those now I would probably think they are horrible.
I have watched some old anime and had a fair number of bad experiences. I also had some of the highest levels of enjoyment I ever got out of anime from older anime as well. The same goes for anime from post 2000. I think it has mostly been the same in that regard. The only thing I would agree on is the fact that a few decades back anime weren't blatant advertisement for the source material. The projects felt like they wanted to cover the whole source instead of covering the beginning to get people to buy it. This trend is getting more and more out of hand and I dislike that. But as long as there are complete adaptions or original works coming out I'm satisfied.

I was just about to post essentially this. The main reason people consider old anime to be so much better is that the old anime we see today is more often than not the stand out anime of that time. You don't see the crappy seasonal write offs that no one cared about.

I'm sympathetic to not liking new anime because I frankly don't like a whole lot of it. I've found that in recent years the titles I enjoy are comfy SOL as opposed to something denser or more sophisticated and those I don't put great stock or attention in.
This reminds me that I have this huge essay on Nichijou that I was writing.
The notion of time is what Nichijou is almost obsessively concerned with. The beginning and end of the show are marked by the same thematic skit, "Motivation," and feature a budding cherry blossom tree popping into full bloom. The ending line of each skit is then set against the backdrop of a Japanese tea ceremony, an art form that is famously characterized by its deliberately slow pace. In many ways, this formula of fast paced comedy followed by longer intermissions is a staple of Nichijou's comedy.
Maybe one day I'll actually finish it. xD
But there's also a lot of old school titles I think are boring/pretentious/overhyped, so maybe it's just more that I hate everything. :>

Well, sure, that could be the reason but even from a quality perspective, I felt like there were instances where it exceeded a lot of stuff now. I'm not sure if my opinion will change the more old anime that I watch, guess we'll have to wait and see.

hmm maybe so. As mentioned above, could just be a small sample size. For the record, I went back and watched parts of Yugioh. Ya, it's a bit cringy but there are some ok parts here and there so it's not all bad.
Yep, agree and that's something that I'm glad about in regards to old anime. I hope that we won't see more new anime take this route because that'll be terrible

I'm excited to see your reaction once you finish the next handful of episodes. Be sure to avoid the Episode Previews at all cost, they'll just flat out spoiler you on everything that happens
