Let’s be real:

You don’t actually rewatch 90s anime, you just meme screenshots (Bebop episode 5 was 20% still frames).
Berserk ‘97 fans ignore the manga because the anime’s ‘atmosphere’ is just bad animation cope.
You unironically think Evangelion’s ending was deep and not a budget cut.

Modern anime could remake your ‘GOATs’ 1:1 and you’d still call it soulless. It has flaws but rewatch Trigun’s fight scenes and tell me it’s ‘peak’ with a straight face.

The whole problem with zoomers is they see lots of frames and scream sakuga at it.
It's like mag dumping a gun haphazardly at the broad side of a barn. What if I'm more impressed with three shots dead on target instead?

90s anime, and everything before then, is unironically trash. Nothing but slideshows with pretty frames, or overrated episodic stuff like Cowboy Bebop.
Anime as a whole peaked between 2010 - 2016.

The real issue is voice acting, 90s VAs sounded like they were half asleep (Cowboy Bebop dub is overrated). Modern VAs at least put energy into it even if the writing is bad

I do agree most of the stuff from 90s had terrible animation and only looked back today with nostalgia.
That being said I think 'soft genres'(SoL, comedy, drama, etc... basically stuff that didn't require heavy animation budget) from 90s and 00s were 'comfier'. And no, I'm not saying it because of nostalgia because I've hardly watched any of those then. Or maybe I'm because those kind of remind me of my younger days pre smartphone and pre internet.

I disagree, for its time frame the Bebop dub was incredibly well done, syncing with mouth movements well while staying faithful to the original script and fitting the tone of the setting, all while sounding natural and almost entirely lacking any stilted awkwardness that plagued contemporary dubs. It's the gold standard for a reason.
Speaking of Steve Blum, Big O was another really good one, if you don't count mispronouncing megadeus as mega deuce all the time. Michael McConnohie fucking killed it as Schwartzwald.

I don't need to ‘'re-watch’' because I keep discovering anime from the 70's, 80's and 90's that makes me confirm that the stuff made in those eras is infinitely better than what we have now.

i mean, yeah. To be fair my comment about nu-anime was directed at the best what modern anime has to offer, not 'most of the current anime' which is admitedly crap worse than old seasonals.
But entertainment is also novelty so it's still more enjoyable to watch highest rated modern seasonal than rewatch berserk for the 5th time

Idk man, it's easier for me to sit through a slow paced/low budget show from 40-50 years ago just for the character writing than trying to watch any current seasonal with the same passive male and dominant female character archetypes that have been repeated over and over again, shit is so tiresome...

Nothing has changed except animation budget.

the only difference is that it went from horny MC who is denied pussy to straight up faggot MC who is allergic to sex

All the faggotry in anime today has been there in exactly the same form since the 60s. The new shows are shit. The old shows are shit. You rewatch them because you were a kid at the time and nostalgia has a grip over you.

no I occaisonally watch stuff from the 00s and 90s and they have a completely different feeling to them. its like they didnt care about details as long as its entertaining. and then i watch modern garbage and it feels like they just want to copy what used to work without fully understanding why it worked. of course, not every show is bad, but it's much more rare.

All you are doing is generalizing in a retarded way. Obviously moe wasn't invented in 2020, but 95% of the artstyles in the 80's and 90's weren't flat-faced/nose-less moeblobs like it is now. Just because something existed back then doesn't mean it was the absolute norm.

women in anime have stayed exactly the same
they're literally color-coded archetypes
there was no point in time where women in anime were these multi-faceted characters you like to imagine, especially since that's something you don't want, cause this is what leads to le modern writing where women are the same shit they are IRL
Not even the virgin male lead is a new thing since old male MCs were either indifferent to sex or horny as fuck (but didn't get laid)
The virgin male lead acts exactly the same as the MC in old anime when it's during a fight or anything outside women. It's literally all about women.
People who claim they've been rewatching old anime are lying. It's impossible to be over 12 years old and willing to sit through the endless mouth flapping and recycled animation of anything made before the 90s. They are simply fucking lying or ChatGPT bots.

Where did I talk about art styles? I mentioned moeslop in the sense of appeasing virgins. Older shows with more detailed art were 90% still frames, but people who nostalgiafag off sakugabooru wouldn't know.

Sorry this is just bias and nostalgia goggles. Look at what came out of Hollywood 1-2 years before le old wholesome manga you think is so sincere and you will see it's literally a bootleg of something Western that was trending at the time

The truth hurts but anime is EXACTLY the same shit as Marvelslop. There has never been an era in which it was good.

I watched Gundam and Macross for the first time 30 years after watching DBZ on TV and loved them both more than anything I watched in the last decade. You don't need good animation to tell a gripping story. Just one person with some kind of vision. Otherwise gcucks would blow MSG the fuck out.

If I've learned anything over all these years watching anime, it's that animation quality isn't the most important thing in a show. Having dog shit animation will hurt your work, but having good enough animation to make your work not look like a 2 cent production is all you need in most cases. There was no season of Initial-D I liked as much as the first one even though all the others clearly had better animation and bigger budgets. There is something about the artstyle and the way the characters were handled that at least for me couldn't be replicated by any of the later seasons.

your problem is assuming they are actual "oldfags" and not knowing that none of the very specific group of people you are trying to mock were even born before 2005
