My point is that, if someone were to dislike a show because he didn't like the way it looked, how would it being old make it look better?

The issue is, you're not very likely to go out of your way to play games like Netrek and Pong; and the fact that they were the very best computer games when they were made won't make any difference.

Why would I be surprised? Most casual viewers won't do any research on anime before they buy, so they won't have much to go on besides the DVD case. In this case though, the DVD case is entirely equivalent to the book cover, so such a judgement is premature. It'd be a different scenario if they make the same judgement after watching the work.

But why? Calling someone "stupid" is quite a bit stronger than personal taste, so do you have a reason for doing so?
