Do you think we will ever see a revival of 80s/Early 90s Anime aesthetics? The cool punk girls, the boofy curvy far more detailed hair designs, the far more indepth colour shading and lighting, the nicer less, flat colouring design in general etc. Hell there could even be arguments there are shows that could benefit from a less crisp resolution as well. (Iyashikei shows come to mind)
I know some anime have tried to recreate the "Cel aesthetic" with filters, but we haven't really seen anyone go full out with "Try to capture that 80s style" yet. Think it will ever make a comback?
No, because what gives the 80-90-early00 anime art soul is cell animation. As far as I know digital is so much cheaper and faster so we can only hope for post-production filters that try to imitate it. God I miss that grainy look

Sure its possible, but it won't just happen on its own. A talented team would have to devote themselves and bank their careers on a high risk high quality project that'd have to release at the right time that the public (and marketing departments) take notice, and among the first wave of imitators enough have to also be succesful enough to get the trend snowballing

>Think it will ever make a comback? is just too expensive
Matthew Wood
No. Form follows function.

There was something very sexy about the 80s style that we don't get anymore
Ryder Evans
Yeah, some day a big director will do one and the studio will allow it because he is a well know director. It is just a matter of time.
Jackson Lewis
Way more kickass babes. "Babes" are something you just don't get in modern anime.

Most 80s and early 90s anime look nothing like what you describe, and complex shading was almost always reserved for still shots or scenes with little animation (just like complex shading today).
The closest we've gotten to something trying to recapture 80s artstyle was Kabaneri of the Iron Fortress, but only because its character designer was actually the guy who did Macross's and Gunbuster's character designs and the director wanted to make the characters look like a combination of old-school and modern.
Cherrypicked as fuck and left is still way better, lmao

The hair on the left actually looks a lot more natural. Older anime seems to have a lot more flow and curls than modern anime. Modern anime shading also fucking sucks because it uses over-exposure/white as the highlight tone, making it look like everyone is covered in oil. Older anime generally started with a natural tone as the highlight then worked down into darker tones.
>more detailed hair designs, the far more indepth colour shading and lighting Those are OVA/movie standards of the 80s and early 90s, not TV standards of the time. Aside from the occasional rare sakuga moment or big budget episode, TV animation at the time was just as simplified and flat looking as now, if not more.
Christian Baker
god you sound like such an insufferable person. grow up.
Jeremiah Parker
In the future we will have robots do manual cel animation.
Gavin Watson
How fucking expensive was Escaflowne anyway? The first episode alone feels like an entire mini OVA series worth of budget... That dragon is witchcraft man...

Can we just bring back classic fantasy anime instead of all this Isekai shit?
