What happened, Zig Forums?

Why was the Nineties so much better than today's anime that's filled with mostly Isekai or slice of life high school seasonal series?

The people who grew up watching anime in the 90s are now the ones making the animes

Someone post those 90s internet pages of people complaining about "kawaiism"

I had it but I accidentally deleted it when cleaning my hard drive.

90s was filled with gore and sex schlock and magical girl lolishit.

Fuck that. Just post a screen shot of Anime Web Turnpike and any Ranma fanfiction

Yeah, isn't it awesome?

theres not a single good 90s anime with a completed story that is not a mecha

the people making anime in the 90's didnt grow up watching anime so you had stories on various topics and settings, with inspiration from their wide pool of life experiences.

Worse than isekai or schoolshit.

have you ever actually seen the seasonal charts for the 90's

No, they were terribly boring

wrong

This but the opposite.

You had cheap toy commercials, tweening done by unpaid people who could barely draw and proto-moe shows like Saber Marionette J.

Please don't talk about something you weren't alive for, thank you.

this, OP is a fag

It seemed better because only a handful of shows from what was available actually trickled over across the Pacific. Also what said.

I went to Anime Expo in 2017 and I was not prepared for the absolute normalfag-fest it was.
Was hoping to find some cool people and see some more niche shit but I guess it's just too big and when you cater to large audiences you have to cater to the lowest common denominator.
Coolest thing I did was have a good chat with an older guy (50s probably) who was selling animation cels in a small empty booth stuck between two booths selling funko pops and ahegao hoodies.
I guess I should have expected it but it was the only convention I'd ever been to.

Fuck dude, there are so many normies now who show up to AX to gawp at the nerds like it's some kind of zoo. It pains me to see how much it's changed for the worse. Other recent cons I've been to haven't been nearly as bad.

>there are so many normies now who show up to AX to gawp at the nerds like it's some kind of zoo
That's EXACTLY the kind of vibe I got. I'd absolutely take the smelly, autistic, otaku of the past over the netflix/crunchyroll anime fan of today that I saw there.

just because, man. just because.

That hasn't been true since the 70's you cocksucker.

Anime convention is nothing but an empty moniker nowadays.
Cons now serve as irl gathering points for mentally ill twitterfags and people who circlejerk over cal arts style cartoons and webcomics.
I still lose a bit of what's left of my soul every time I go to a con and see that the amount of non anime cosplay outnumbers the anime cosplay.

No it wasn't.

The anime that survived into public memory were the best anime at the moment. There were lots of shitty, idiotic anime that nobody remembers now and you never got to watch.

In the conventions there no teenagers and ironic anime fans. But it's pretty much
the same

The 2000s were peak.

Based.

The best anime of the 2010s can't compare to the best anime of the 1990s though.

Will it ever be worth going to a con ever again? Do I need to wait 20 years or some shit?

Anime died with Gainax.

And Gainax killed it.

Because Japan's economy hadn't completely shit the bed yet, so they had money to do things.
