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.
I understand your point. I took the liberty to make an example and find similar screenshots of two anime I recently watched:
![]() Serial Experiments Lain - 1998. |
![]() Denpa Onna to Seishun Otoko - 2011 |
How would you compare the art of both of these anime?
Or the most appropriate question would be, can we really compare the art of both of these anime? Serial Experiments lain has been released 13 years before Denpa Onna came out.
Personally, I find Denpa Onna's art to be much better simply because it's more detailed and the color vibrance is more appealing. But again, it's because digital art had 13 years in front of it to improve since the release of SEL, so it doesn't mean SEL's art is bad, it's just ... I will admit the fact that the word "old" comes first to mind, I won't deny that.
But you're totally right, we can't assign a value to the word "old", because "old" does not imply "good" or "bad", it's just "old".
So the real issue here is, should we take into account an anime's release date when we analyze its art?
If we should, then SEL has decent art considering it was released in 1998.
If we shouldn't, then SEL's art is totally bad compared to Denpa Onna.
Hmm, I'm not convinced by my own words lol

Just from reading, these are the ones that look interesting:
Non Non Biyori - Could be really interesting seeing the interaction between the girls
Yozakura Quartet - Might have awesome art and action scenes
Pupa
Kuroko no Basuke - This anime was good from the start :P
Hajime no Ippo - Again, awesome from the start
Outbreak Company - Could be an awesome adventure story and it's made by studio Feel.
Magi - Magi is freaking awesome
130 episodes down on Bleach, will deffinately watch it till the end. So good.
You must be kidding.

All these are anime adaptations from manga that I've either read or been meaning to read for a while.
I'm pretty sure all of these are better in manga form, just for your information.

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.
No person in their right mind would call a series good wherein the heroine's boobs get more characterization than the main character..
I'm accusing you of having terrible taste in manga/anime and I keenly remember you advocating a "guilty until proven innocent" procedure in another thread, so why don't we apply that here?
Because if you're truly innocent then you have nothing to worry about, right? :)

**** you, Searz, I watch all the fan service I want!
But you're not calling the series good, are you?
Fanservice is a different matter entirely.
What you do to get off does not concern me.

Most of it is probably going to suck, unfortunately, because most anime sucks. The second seasons of IS and Freezing are probably going to be among the sucky anime from the fall season, given the quality of their respective first seasons.
I'll give everything an episode of my time and post first impressions once the season starts. I've realized that the summaries of anime are never useful, so I really need to actually watch something to figure out whether or not it's going to be good.
