Do you ever watch shitty/obscure/forgotten anime just for the hell of it?
http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x2bml9_is-littlekuriboh-writing-for-yu-gi_fun#.UbxvqfnqlEII haven't kept up with anime trends in a long time, last thing I really remember was when K-on and PAnty stocking were all the rage
No.23681
I don't know if they're shitty or obscure, but the majority of the anime I watch are pretty old, 80's and 90's usually, and some 10's
It's kinda painful to think how much effort might have been put into them, or how loved they might have been, but now they're completely forgotten and tossed away and how indicative of their age they may be(usually 00's anime), I don't know why those thoughts come sometime.

Is it shitty? I got it just before nyaa died. This would be my first anime in many years. It looks hilarious.
No.23684
>>23683Not OP, but it's pretty entertaining and the art style and animation is unique, even when trying to imitate American 00's cartoons. The main characters might be a major turn-off to some wizards, but the major draw-in is the crude humor, and it's still an old favorite of mine
No.23685
K-On still has a huge cult following and Panty & Stocking is far from obscure or forgotten.
And how is that unfunny HP gif related to anime?
No.23686
Most 20th century anime is obscure now beyond the huge titles. So, yes.
That's practically the only stuff I'm interested in.

I'm just absolutely amazed how anime of today is so radically different in style and format from anime 10-20 years ago. Something made in 2008 has more in common with something from 1998 or even 1988 than something from 2018. I feel like the characters have become really unbearable and annoying in a way they never were before.

>>26515>Something made in 2008 has more in common with something from 1998 or even 1988 than something from 2018.No, you are clearly exaggerating wa too much. General anime stylistics were pretty much streamlined since early 2000s. 90s had a very different style.
Haven't watched anything from the last several seasons yet though. But I doubt 2018 anime is so much different from, say, 2016.

Currently watching a show called
Those who hunt for elves.
The first season was abysmal but the second one has gotten the hang of the jokes, tone, and animation/budget limitations.
>>23425Me and most of my household loved how silly that show was. Mom hated it and thought it was incomprehensibly dumb though (she wasn't wrong). Didn't even care that most of the jokes were Japaneses puns that didn't translate at all. The whole thing was absurd and the nonsensical puns that didn't translate just added to the charm.

Its a pretty fun series, but drags on at times, specially when they focus on Happosai who is really annoying.

Digital is the superior medium and allows for considerably wider range of atmosphere, tone, and creative direction, while vastly cheaper and faster. It's objectively better in all ways. Cry foul all you want, but I couldn't care less about the opinion of some failed normalfag who couldn't cut it.
