I just had a discussion with Yuki about this, so I thought I'd revive the topic.
People really need to stop making excuses for old art.
All art should be considered by the same standards. If old art is bad, then don't excuse it. Tell it like it is.. Anything else is just biased and unfair.
Yea I know I should :S The art isn't bad, it's just old :P
Old is not an adjective that in any way describes the worth of something.
Old is solely a description of the age of something.
To assign value to a word that doesn't in any way indicate actual value is just dumb.

Boy I need to go to work now but old as in 'Graphic's in the realm of possibility at the date of the making of the anime without wasting to much time and money.'
And rather than 'old' I would prefer the word 'Date' or 'Time' or something because old is not objective enough(For example I consider games that are 2 years old as 'old').
I don't say it is an 'excuse' for every art to be bad but you need to keep in your mind the date of creation BECAUSE OF TECHNOLOGY.
COMPARED to the art of today every 'older' Anime has either bad or unique(which is just an excuse in my eyes) art.
COMPARED to the time it was made the art COULD be good or bad.
EDIT: The Mona Lisa is a prime example of this, according to you it should be treated many other art nowadays.

"I also am Otherkin. Whenever autumn rolls around I can feel my kin-type slowly taking over my body. You must know, I identify as pumpkin. I can control it pretty good most of the time, but when September ends, I just cant hold it in anymore. Whenever Im outside I see my brothers and sisters being chopped into soup, coffee, donuts, cake, drinks, bread - ppl even cut human faces into their skin, making a mockery out of their noble appearance. When I see things like that I cant control my pumpkin urges anymore. My natural instincts kick in. I then sit down motionless, while getting bright orange." - Morgana L

Toradora! is definitely up there, at least. It's a very solid romcom, as romcoms go. Most of its problems are endemic to the genre as a whole, and it does manage to pull off 25 episodes without overstaying its welcome.
Although, honestly, I wouldn't say that there are any straight romcoms that number among the absolute best anime.
Yeah, you're probably right.

Also, the things you're saying about the schizophrenic theme might be correct. I've only read the manga (and it's good/great), but I can see how there might be thematic problems when several chapters are restructured to fit one episode. What you're writing also makes it seem like they changed the chronological order of the story, which I'm pretty sure will only hurt it.. :/

You clearly have no taste in anime/manga..

and???? thats like me saying (which i do) that people that listen to dubstep have no taste in music because I find it utter garbage. Also you say that based on 1 anime I watch, and I haven't read the manga yet, please come back and judge me when you have more basis or if you do please include it before you post, you can't judge someone's taste from 1 thing they enjoy.
If I have helped in anyway at all a +rep will be appreciated lots
