Anything made before the 2000s

>>280518969 (OP)
This pre-2000s anime is still one of the better racer anime out there.

You start first OP. Convince us you're not a faggot tourist. Kodacha doesn't count, everyone knows Kodacha. If I'm satisfied, I'll drop you something cool.

Cute desu

The lack of gatekeeping is why this place gets shittier everyday and why we have so many of you here. Go mine content for your top ten underrated old anime view farm on reddit you absolute faggot.

Arguably anything pre 2010 is retro anime now.

Read the OP again.

>>280519146
>thread's literally simply about pre-2000s anime
>retard tries makes it a fucking dick measuring contest
It's usually the tourists and zoomers that act like this because they feel like they have something to prove.

Is the OP picture a parody of the Raildex girls or is that a real show?

>>280518969 (OP)
Love the 90s humour and whimsical plots/subplots.
But good god that episode count. It's hard to actually find the motivation to watch absolutely everything in a series.

>>280522458
No, it's because this is just a rec thread for OP and other faggots who can't be bothered to find their own material, and will watch whatever everyone else agrees on is the best, even though it's retro which means there are numerous titles that one can just pick up and get into. No discussion, no originality, just the same 15 classics being posted, the same circle jerk of these classics, until some poor fool lets himself get suckered and posts an original find for everyone else to slurp it up. You faggots don't even attempt to make these threads original.

>>280519492
I don't know, mc was way too much of a cunt, but the ending was still bittersweet anyhow.

Wanna-be jannies who misconstrue "gatekeeping" with "shitting up a thread I don't like" are the reason /a/'s been so fucking insufferable for the last fifteen years and why more than half of the catalog is a show-specific general which ironically isn't gatekept and lets garbage like /dbs/ fester.
Pre-2000s threads have always been for anime that don't have enough of a following to generate discussion on their own faster than they 404. If I made a Dream Hunter Rem thread that thread will be done within an hour or two and I'd be lucky to get more than two replies. If I were to post the same show in a pre-2000s thread that thread's going to be up longer because it's a catch-all for similar shows that don't generate enough discussion on their own and more people are likely to see and discuss it.

I want to talk about retro anime, I want to share what I found good, and I want to have discussion, but retro threads are always filled with newfaggot tourists who HAVEN'T SEEN SHIT. I bring up something and it will be met with zero discussion, because you are all a bunch of fake larpers who are here to leech off of what others enjoy to bring into your collection of nostalgia wank, most of which you haven't even touched. And Dream Hunter Rem is entry level shit you newfaggot, that is how fucking bad things are holy FUCK.

>>280523440
>I want to talk about retro anime
Then do it.
That's what this thread is for.
>I want to share what I found good
What have you shared in this thread?
>I want to have discussion
What have you tried to discuss in this thread?

>but retro threads are always filled with newfaggot tourists who HAVEN'T SEEN SHIT.

It's a fucking discussion thread, not a show-and-tell you demented faggot.
The fact that you're obsessed with what you perceived as entry-level only tells me you simply want to show off that you've fucking watched bottom of the barrel trash like Punky Funky Baby and feel vindicated when the "tourists" don't want to watch literal garbage with you.
Nobody over the age of 30 acts like this.

>nobody wants to discuss this niche OVA with me, /a/ has fallen

>>280519358
>>280521666
There's nothing to gatekeep because all of you are from /v/.
The gates don't exist. They're gone. The vast majority of /a/ is currently just crossposters from /v/ who don't actually watch anime (which is why pre-2000s threads almost entirely descend into "Anime then, anime now, WTF happened??"), and the only anime "discussion" occurs in dogshit generals where the discussion is actually /vg/ tier shit.

>>280523525

>>280523525
>then do it
me "shitting up" this thread has been the only discussion LOL. Again people are only here to suck out others' opinions to form their own and circle jerk classics.
>What have you shared
Not going to share anything, I'll discuss whatever you want to though.
>It's a fucking discussion thread not a show and tell
So where's the discussion..
>you simply want to show off
Gatekeeping is not showing off, it's keeping the bar to a level where we can actually have new discussion and not repeat the same thread and over because no one is watching anything new. Yes we all know how great (classic) is, ok I don't disagree so now what??

And then how you speak against elitism and gatekeeping YET you're in a fucking retro thread. Where the fundamental creed is new bad old good. We are elitists by default, yet every retro thread is the most sniveled, trite circle jerk and hating on any form of elitism. Otaku are fucking elitists, that is how it has always been, that is how it should be, and it's no coincidence otakuism, /a/, and anime went to shit when gatekeeping failed.

>>280523693
>show up at the beginning of the thread
>immediately derail discussion
>dominate thread discourse with meta garbage
>"where's the discussion"?
People have tried to start discussions and you literally fucking ignored it.
If you want discussion so badly, why haven't you replied to >>280519088 or the other screencaps of various anime? Why haven't you even tried to discuss the anime in the OP, even?

I'm not speaking against elitism and gatekeeping. You're not even gatekeeping you retarded faggot. You haven't even provided anything to be elitist about. You want discussion but you refuse to discuss anything, despite being "open to discuss whatever you want to though"

Elitism and gatekeeping is a good thing when it keeps posturing retards like yourself far away from my hobby.

>Anything made before the 2000s

I finished Plastic Little like a month ago and thought it was alright. I would do TERRIBLE things to the nurse, the mc, and the pink haired boy. It was very irresponsible of them to put everyone in those black skin-tight shiny jumpsuits.

I've got FF: Legend of The Crystals and the original Birdy The Mighty Ova (which I know I'll like. I fuckin' love Birdy The Mighty) both lined up next.

There was one post before I started and it's just cyber formula.

Alright to start I liked the Kodacha dub more.

Part of gatekeeping is telling new faggots to fuck
off so yes it's gatekeeping.

>/v/ is just softcore porn and hating on big game companies. /vr/ makes more sense, but I still don't see it.
/v/ is a set of behaviors more than anything.
The softcore porn types tend to occupy /tv/ since its purposes align a bit more with /v/'s, but so many people are obviously transplanting behaviors from /v/ to /a/, and it has gotten especially bad since the site came back up.
There's a thread in the catalog right now that is pure /v/, just a screenshot of some clickbait rag with no text in the OP, just low-effort bait, and the worst part is that it's a REPOST of a thread from yesterday, and the thread has probably been reposted a dozen times before already, always getting over 300 replies.

A big indicator of /v/tards is just how often they'll bring up something games or culture war related unprompted. They always divert "discussion" to "The west is KILLING anime" or endless localization debates (when anyone who has actually spent any amount of time on /a/ knows that any translation is a meme, that debate was settled years ago). It's fairly obvious /a/ is the vacation home for /v/ posters that don't evade, with a healthy dose of just plain low effort trolls from /v/ and /qa/.
Doesn't help that it seems /a/ has basically lost all of its active janitors since the site's closure in April, as this was always an issue, but shit would always get deleted and there'd be enough bans to curb it. But now, instead, /a/ is a board that looks like this
>40% endless generals with no real discussion (outside of seasonals one day a week)
>30% endless dailies/storytimes that are probably allowed because they make the site look more active
>15% low effort posts (endless threads asking retarded questions about Naruto like "Why did X happen if Y is so strong???")
>10% ragebait / trolling (as already mentioned)
>5% genuine threads (die before 100 posts)

>>280518969 (OP)
Kodacha is one of the rare cases I prefer the dub. Laura Bailey does a fantastic job as Sana.

>>280523872
oh well kill yourself, just kidding. Did you know amino also directed Shiki and Iria?
>>280523907

>>280523972
I see what you're saying just looking at it right now the majority is low effort template threads or the same. Like how there will be any deltarune, death stranding, or sony vs nintentdo thread pop up and within 2 hours bump limit reached and the next one up. They're probably behind the constant superman spamming on tv too.

>>280523834
I haven't watched Kodacha so I wouldn't be able to answer that, I'm not OP.
That's the thing about pre-2000s discussion though. You think it's tourists or newfags when the thing is, nobody follows a list when watching stuff. How many modern Kodacha fans have watched Akazukin Chacha to completion? How many modern Akazukin Chacha fans have watched Kodacha to completion?

You want people to discuss more 30+ year old stuff, but what are the odds you can gather more than 20 people in one place at the same time to discuss a niche TV series or movie that you have to dig to really find? At best the discussion would be moving at a snail's pace and take days for anything meaningful to be said. A huge chunk of pre-2000s anime fans would never touch a magical girl anime or a SoL romcom in there lives and stick to sci-fi series. Vice versa there's people who are extremely knowledgeable on classic magical girl series but completely flounder when talking about mecha and haven't even seen Gundam or Macross to completeion.

The logistics of expecting everybody to be on the same fucking page with something as old and vast as pre-2000s anime is ridiculous.

It's a ridiculous expectation for me to post Mospeada and expect an actual involved discussion on the spot and then get mad that the 5 Mospeada fans that are even on this site aren't congregating to my thread.

>>280524161
One of the better things about pre-2000s anime discussion is that not everybody's on the same page and everybody develops their own tastes and interests. With the seasonal grind, most people are on the same page since everything's being watched.

With pre-2000s anime, 50+ episodes are a commitment and people are more selective with what they watch allowing people to go down completely different rabbitholes instead of following a "top 50 anime" list.

I haven't watched Slayers. You can call me a tourist. I've had over 20 years worth of opportunities to watch Slayers. But on the other hand most Slayers fans haven't watched Baldios. That's just the nature of the medium.

>>280524161
One received an American release, one didn't. Ok yes it would be hard to discuss something no one has seen, but that's what watch parties are for, plus it's better than the alternative of talking about the same well known classics over and over. And I disagree that it's ridiculous to expect everyone to have a baseline, otherwise you'll just end up watching what everyone else tells you to watch. It's not a chore to watch a good romcom or magical girl or scifi, if it's good and that's the entire point of classics. If people are so stuck up they can't into magical girls and scifi they shouldn't be watching anime.

>>280524419
>but that's what watch parties are for
We used to have watch parties but mods cracked down on them over a decade ago.

>And I disagree that it's ridiculous to expect everyone to have a baseline, otherwise you'll just end up watching what everyone else tells you to watch
That's exactly what having a bassline is, expecting everybody to be on a similar page.

I genuinely have more respect for some magical girl purist who's watched thousands of episodes of magical girl anime then some simpleton who peruses through lists of general anime and systematically watches anime as if he's scoring a bingo sheet.

I've never watched Cowboy Bebop.
On my notepad I've watched a combination of 467 TV series, OVAs and movies released before the year 2000.

in general I feel like anonymous imageboards aren't great for discussion of "less popular things" since even if of the few thousands "regular" posters on /a/ enough have seen a show/read a manga, you need to filter through those who actually see the thread at the right time, remember enough about the subject to discuss it, and actually want to discuss it at that moment
watch parties and dailies are one type of solution to that problem, generating potentially dozens of people who might want to discuss a series as they're experiencing/reexperiencing it
I hate any non-anonymous forum or website so it is a shame that it's so hard to get some discussions going
not sure if an /ar/ would help

>>280524567
>On my notepad I've watched a combination of 467 TV series, OVAs and movies released before the year 2000.
Notepad's spaced out between anime, the number's 234. I was just counting the lines.

>>280524637
>not sure if an /ar/ would help
It wouldn't.
The population of /a/ is already not that high, on average it's typically the 7th or 8th most active board at a given time- keep in mind, there's usually at least a few storytimes or dailies happening every hour, so its activity is fairly skewed (not even getting into how the DB and OP generals skew it further).
It would also be cribbing real estate from /m/, which is mostly retro anime, just specifically SF ones, which happens to make up a large chunk of older anime. /m/ is not that active either (think it's around #45 for activity).

Now, you might say that's good, that it shouldn't be that active, but these boards aren't active because people here aren't primed to discussing these topics. I can actually predict what an /ar/ would devolve into:
>Anime Then vs Anime Now, WTF Happened?
>/dbs/ (they would absolutely have a colony there and spam it so it'll always be the most active thread)
>"This started in the 90s so it's retro" (One Piece, HxH, Naruto, etc.)
>Toonami threads
>Remake threads
That'd be 90% of the content.
There's also just the reality that, while /vr/ has new shit happening for it (since video games are an interactive medium), an /ar/ wouldn't. Old stuff gets translated maybe a couple times a year? Sometimes a new remaster is announced? That's it. What, am I gonna post about the 2025 WMT Calendar? Because that's the newest thing happening for retro anime. Discussion has an inevitable endpoint for most people due to this very factor.

>>280524567
I get bored of one genre and I hop to the next, I don't think this is impossible for others. And despite all this talk, the fact still is that this bickering is making up most of the discussion itt and no one even bothered keeping up the attempts at discussion. If you haven't any middle ground there's no room for discussion, and if all you can discuss are the same classics, then your threads will continue to die after 30 minutes of circle jerk (go type retro in subject on desu if you don't believe me). Now do you guys prefer 80s attention to animation or 70s attention to backgrounds more?

>>280524809
just go to wap they need more ppl and haven't fallen to the problems youre talking about

>>280524875
The difference is that wap is a specialized imageboard created specifically for that purpose, and has never really gained much general popularity in part due to its heightened focus.
I'm speaking about an /ar/ created for 4chan. Those behaviours I mentioned absolutely would occur on it, and I am speaking primarily to an /ar/ after an inevitable month of spam that would occur simply due to it being a new board.

I imagine it'd net around 100K posts a month (being generous on that number) and would be populated primarily by Americans talking about their own nostalgia (if not blatant shitposting), rather than actual discussion of retro anime.

>>280524954
There's never going to be an /ar/, anyway so I wouldn't bother. At least shilling wap might do something, but it's pretty grim. I don't think theres been a post for days. Do you prefer detailed backgrounds or detailed animation more?

>>280525093
Wap does get a few dozen posts a day typically, it's slowed a lot down since 4chan went back up but there's still people there. However the retro anime board itself isn't as active relative to others since the site took a more /jp/ turn recently.
It's also funny how you can't say the sites full name or your post won't go through, I guess they were big enough to get on the mods radar at one point

>>280522469
It's a real show that predates Raildex.
>>280523648
Kodocha is a shoujo romance about Sana, an energetic child actress who has made it her goal to stop Akito, the aloof boy under whose lead the boys in her class keep causing trouble. However, as she learns more about him, she starts to sympathize with him. Due to various events in their lives, the two of them gradually come to show each other their real selves, giving way for a special bond to form.
It has some memorable characters and the dynamic between Sana and Akito is really sweet and entertaining. I'd recommend reading the manga first, since the anime's humor can be a bit too over-the-top at times (not to mention the sheer amount of filler).
