>managed to get hands on a sony trinitron while dumpster diving

>suddenly get the urge to watch old VHS releases of anime from the 90's

>wish I could get my hands on those old fansubbed anime the otaku from back in the day would distribute among other otaku

I don't know why this came about but now I maanged to get Dragon Half and some tapes of Slayers and some old school hentai.

Does anyone else share this same feeling for old school shit and wanting to watch it on a CRT?

 No.78325

I had an old DVD of EVA I haven't watched in years so I should maybe watch it again.


 No.78328

Old anime is great, because 2D animation in general has aged really well, but I don't have any sense of nostalgia for old hardware. I lived through some of the era of watching VHS and it sucked. If I owned any old VHS fansubs or anime, I'd keep them preserved out of historical or sentimental value, but I definitely wouldn't watch them. Every time something old gets a good BD transfer and I can watch it in full HD with grain and every detail intact, it's a victory. Speaking of which, Slayers got new BDs around the end of last year, and I'm eagerly awaiting seeing if they're any good.

Why can't we a publisher that animates exclusively with 90s technology? There should be a nostalgia market for that.


 No.78393

Because there isn't a market for that.

Because they'd need a lot of very good artists for that, and that shit is expensive when you can't pay them a bowl of rice a day and have them sleep in the office because the economy just committed harakiri. A niche market doesn't pay for it.

You may hope for a stock market crash in Japan, however.


 No.78402

>>78334

In the 90s every animator old or young still knew how to work with cels because they'd been doing it their whole career. But now? Imagine trying to retrain all these Korean/Filipino/young Jap wageslaves they've got doing frames now to work with something incredibly bitchy like cels, cel painting, and compositing. Even if you could round up experienced animators who could and would be willing to do it, the whole thing would be a production management nightmare in an industry that works and communicates almost entirely digitally now. The best you can probably hope for is semi-independent animation, but even that nowadays seems more geared to showing off what people can do with digital techniques (see: Khara's animator expo, etc.)

Anime started early in Europe. There are 50yos who used to watch B&W animu when they were little: they don't call themselves otakus, because back then there was no culture concerning the phenomenon and you were just watching dubbed shows alongside other white kids. But even so, they still remember the cartoons fondly and will push them onto new generations as a tradition.

Moeshit is literally girl cartoons, used as entry level faggotry in the west. Ameritards in weeb communities literally clash horns to prove which of them is more of a faggot, liking their dollies the most.

Anime communities wouldn't be a shithole of traps and trannies, if moe and kawaii culture was strictly considered a girls thing.

That's because you like getting pozzed, not anime. Weebism shares the same feelings of degradation and dirtiness, as sodomy and furry: truly it is specifically engineered to lead you there.

Watching anime without becoming a fucked up tranny lover, is basic 101.

You're all wrong and suck cock, faggots. People can dislike moeshit without being non-otaku because a lot of it tends to be panda-ring shit for cash, like Cancerwatch's waifu/husbando faggotry, just like in the past, you BBC-blowing nigger faggots. Look up old archives and websites, you'll see.

Story-driven >>>>>>>> character-driven, faggots. In ancient days, heroes' tales were told through their deeds, not their petty fucking feewings growing up or how they felt about Forkbeard-senpai bullying them. I like moe SoL, but at least I can recognize the superior story-form and why it tends to resonate more deeply. No one gives a shit about some Russian liberal twat and his "emotional journey" and some fucking authorial commentary on the individual, only fags do. I'd rather read the deeds of someone worthwhile, like Peter the Great, who did something and left a mark felt throughout the ages, even today. Even fictional heroes will forever be a million times more interesting than a real-life person telling the pathetic story of their life as an American immigrant.)

Normalfags don't really watch anime, and are generally in it for shounen and hentai.

"Nu-weebs" might as well be normalfags. I've seen them called "ironic weebs" elsewhere, and it makes sense. Generally these are people who are insecure about their weebfaggotry or just getting into anime/manga (and the latter are generally post-millennials). They mostly watch seasonal trash. They talk like niggers, likely because they're young and grew up on social media networks. Although plenty hate on moe (with some thinking it equates to pedophilia somehow, I shit you not), others are fine with it, and these tend to be the ones spouting those stupid fucking loli "memes" ("hurr ravioli jail time durr") and trap "memes" ("hurr are traps gay durr"), along with regular ones (e.g. using the A E S T H E T I C S space, which was originally done because doing that looks aesthetic with the word "aesthetics", has become a sort of emphasis, along with wRiTinG LikE ThIS). Plenty of them like JoJo (and are not necessarily anime-only, though most generally are), Berserk (thanks to the 2016 anime, otherwise they would not have known about it), Fist of the North Star (stupid fucking meme garbage, otherwise they would not have known about it), and that's about it. If it's moe, it's generally 2015+ seasonal shit (with some exceptions).

Because of how prominent cute shit is in the past two decades now, it is common for normalfags to disregard all anime as "shit". Similarly, those otaku who dislike moe may be targeted as fake otaku, partly because of the aforementioned reason, but also because that's a shit-ton of anime that that otaku wouldn't like as a result plenty of video games are shit nowadays, and redditniggers and ilk think the jokes about /v/ hating video games aren't jokes, as a result of them hating on all those shitty games those niggers don't see issue in because of poor taste or lack thereof; something to think about. Thing is, there are plenty of anime that aren't moe at all, even during the moe craze and now. So to disregard those who dislike moe SoL anime as normalfag shitheads, while perhaps not necessarily wrong in many cases nowadays, isn't too far off from disregarding anime as a whole because of a decade's worth of "shit". You catch my meaning?

Also, shitting on something you like is not attack of character, you morons. If you're going to get angry and reply, at least make an argument instead of shitting up the thread with shit-flinging, you lazy niggers.

I drank a bit too much, sorry for any issues, reasoning or otherwise.

Of course, like an ass I mixed SoL moe and moe aesthetic. Anyway, I think you guys can figure my argument. I think normalfags will shit on moe period, even series like Cardcaptor Sakura, though I'm not quite sure. Generally, moe SoL stuff like Gochuumon is things they're turned off by, but they also aren't aware of old OVA series like those who may hate SoL moe but adore the old OVA period.

To be fair to Asuka there's a reason she's your stereotypically broken western woman you know.

>fatherless home

>mother went batshit insane and thought you were doll, took your doll only to think it's you

Shit like that is bound to create a hypersexual slut with an electra complex who constantly seeks male authority figures, while constantly testing the patience and good will of the males around her in the process.

This is a pet theory of mine, but I think this was Anno's way of critiquing the western influence on Japan's women. I believe this is why Asuka was a happa mutt. It also explains for me why she starts coming around, almost getting sexually attracted to Shinji when he starts ignoring her and not seeking her approval. It's the Jap's man refusal to bend his knee to westernized women in his own country. Yeah, I may be reading too much into this, however, Neon Genesis Evangelion was the result of Anno being severely depressed after he had relationship problems and problems with production studios. Moreover the man has said that while he's not really religious he's those kind of Japs who believes in gods and that items can have souls and shit.
