80's heh reminds me back LoGH and Macross SDF, actually as for me it really depends.
what I really liked most from 80's and 90's anime was the music. like this Five Star Stories http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mkcQv3pXnTQ Brain Powered OP http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wp9TUMJugnw 0083 OP http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tA450yRJ6Cs |

As for the last question, I have said it myself, I don't have a decade I favor over all else, more than that, I have favorite character designers and mangaka. I absolutely do not long for a comeback of glorious vintage designs because I know Japan caters to its own market, and not mine, and I deal with it.

While there are some bags of old bones in this forum, there is also a hefty amount of those who watch old anime side by side with new anime. This "most are driven by nostalgia" is a completely underhanded strawman built to avoid facing the thoughts people put forth effort to express and is quite frankly insulting towards them.

That you feel insulted by my reply, wow.
Did you at least make the effort to read the rest of my post to put things in perspective? And what's so wrong with being driven by nostalgia? |

Isn't that the same as saying that peoples main reason for liking new character designs is because they are very young? All other reasons be damned. Why are we even discussing this if it is that simple. You like only the things that you liked as a kid (which means that I shouldn't like anything as I didn't watch anime when I was a kid), otherwise there are no differences to speak of. It is actually very wrong to assume so, because then you are brushing off everyone elses opinion.
I mean, it certainly is a convenient way of thinking. An argument that answers everything, while indirectly branding people as either hipsters or senile. There couldn't possibly exist aesthetic reasons tied to the context of stories for preferences in character desings. Oh, not it is just what age the person happens to be. Oldtimers are dinosaurs who are not to be taken seriously and newcomers are mindless sheep who like stuff just because it's popular. Last edited by mecharobot; 2012-03-26 at 08:25. |

We're only discussing that it's an influencing factor, not the only factor. And it's a factor that makes or breaks which era certain people prefer. But I don't ever recall saying that was the case for everyone. After all, there are people in their fourties who prefer the newer character designs, just as there are younger viewers who enjoy the old ones. But to think nostalgia doesn't play a role in peoples opinions is kind of silly. Both the new and old generation designs have their advantages, it's just that people who grew up watching anime in the 80's will be more inclined to prefer the advantages of the 80's character designs over the ones of today...And vise/versa. Nothing is absolute, but nostalgia does play a large psychological role in reminding people of the enduring appeal of their own past.

Or people who prefer practical effects in movies over the abundance of CG these days. Another example when it comes to videogames, the current generation does not seem to appreciate the 8 and 16 bit games from 2 or 3 decades ago with the exception being the more famous classic ones. I know lot's of people who prefer ps3, xbox360 games , simply because they feel those older games are outdated. It's just a matter of taste. Also there are also enough people of this current generation who likes the older style. But i am pretty sure most of them don't appreciate the older style because they are not used to see these days from anime. |

Someone was kind enough to do a picture within picture of this to show (roughly) scene for scene the changes from 1970s character and mecha design to present day.
Space Battleship Yamato (to the audio of the 2199 Trailer which is in the corner)

All the 'critics' can't be wrong, right??? Rofl. I would attribute your impressions to the character design and that alone. I can definitely see why you would feel like you were watching an eroge. After all, cute girls after cute girls along with some boys who have that character design that screams "eroge stock" and just so happen to be classmates pop around the MC who just so happens to be sickly and new to the area. I suppose it's a good thing I don't mind eroge feel (although eroge adapted into anime suck hard indeed). But I assure you another isn't anything like an eroge. And if and when you do get around to watching more episodes, I suggest re-watching episode 1 after you watch episode 3. The change in feel of the episode should send shivers down your spine. So to speak. >> Now that I think about it... the character designs do remind me of eroge lol which totally ruins the show.

I thought Another's moe, eroge-like character designs were a great choice. And not just for the cuteness itself, but because the cuteness gives the deaths more punch then they would have had otherwise. So no, it's not just me liking PA Work's art style in general and thinking Mei resembled Chihiro from EF.

The 80s designs died with the big-hair of the 80s. The 70s design with the hippy-hair of the 70s.
I living in 2012 prefer the current designs - which hasn't really changed much since the 90s; but then again I'm a product of that era so maybe I didn't notice the changes. Not to mention we have labour saving computers now, which improves efficiency and allows cleaner images.

To update my comparison of 1970s character designs to retro modern times to the next level as it is now possible to compare directly the 1974 vs 2012 beginning of Space Battleship Yamato. Bandai has released the first ten minutes of the first episode has as a teaser. (It goes of for a little longer than the section presented from 1974 but the rest of that episode is avalible.)
Space Battleship Yamato - Episode 1 (1/3) - 1974 Space Battleship Yamato 2199 - Episode 1 (1/2) - 2012 (I prefer this one as it is less choppy that the other one out there)
