Are 90s style anime too expensive to make these days? Why don't we see anime that looks as good as sailor moon anymore?

How can Sailor Moon be "proto-CGDCT" when CGDCT itself predates it?
Sailor Moon isn't even CGDCT it's a fucking mahou shoujo.

Extremely unintelligent post.

If you want to shitpost why not call it a proto-Madoka clone?

Sailor Moon just had a great sense for aesthetic, nothing expensive about it. In fact, the most stylistic anime are usually the low budget ones. And you still get stuff like that, you just need to watch more anime.

I'm kind of curious as to why stuff like Precure still does the "A year's worth of anime, with maybe 15 good episodes" instead of maybe doing one cour per year and making it HOT

I'm sure there's sales and viewership data to back it up, but I bet doing it that way would make it look better

Right one is much better.

user, it's a long-running kid's series. They aren't going to stop it for three-quarters of a year, that would kill it. They also wouldn't be spending four times as much money/time on it even if they did that, the company would just spend that money/time on other projects instead.

animators these days get paid less than mcdonalds burger flippers

Ultraman's been doing that for half a decade now and they've basically brought the franchise back from being on life support to being a fairly successful also-ran

which i guess means it should probably be one of the sub-Precure shows that takes that approach

Wait, what pre-Azugmanga Daioh CGDCT series are there?

Nigga are you serious?

The absolute state of Yea Forums in 2019

I've been on Yea Forums since 2011 and watching anime since 2003, leave me alone

Yes, but like the others said, it only looked good, or better than CGI anime, in a few instances.
Perfect, hand painted cel animation is very expensive, much like quality 3D animation is. One reason we don't see either.

I've been on Yea Forums since 04 and watching anime since 95, so you have to understand its difficult having to interact with such ignorant little babies.

Even if it doesn't look "good", it has character. I'll take that over generic any day of the week.

Most anime looks generic for their respective time.

Epic LARP.

Shh. Old good. New bad.

I wish we could go back to the 90s, when we had real anime like Idol Project and All Purpose Cultural Cat Girl Nuku Nuku.

This. Designs used to have character....now they're all ugly bug-eyed moeshit.

Why can't modern anime characters look like this? What happened?

That's fucking hideous.

Is there any modern anime with this many outfits for the characters?

I don't wanna sound like a kyoanus but K-On has tons of outfits, probably the best (and only good) modern anime in that regard.

We just can't match the majesty of cel using digital methods.

90's style shits all over every modern anime
you humongous faggot

It's disingenuous to imply that Lodoss is representative of the 90s style. Far more anime resembled Saber Marionette and Knight Ramune & 40 Fire

This.

These threads are pretty frustrating to say the least. People aren't even pretending anymore. They seriously consider slideshow Sailormoon to be good looking. Or for different outfits to be an impressive feat, when literal bargain bin budget anime like Colors had the characters sport 2 different outfits per episode each.

Don't know what to think anymore. A year ago I thought you people were trolls. Then I assumed for there to be a few bad eggs. Nowadays it's become impossible to not ridicule you.

I love anime from all eras, but crusty old nostalgiafags do taint my perspective of 70s/80s/maybe 90s anime and make it harder enjoy them. They're such obnoxious, abrasive assholes.

Most of the people who are adamant and obnoxious about "how much better old anime is" aren't even nostalgiafags, they're teenagers who just started torrenting older anime and think they're cultured. A lot of people who grew up with anime for the last 20-35 years understand that the actual quality of anime's been about the same for the past 40 years, even if trends have changed.

I do know a guy from 1983 who always rants about how much better 80s and early 90s anime were, though he's mainly referring to the OVA and movie scene.

They like the cel grain

It's a nostalgia thing, like an old intro stuck in your head. It brings back childhood memories, I doubt any really give a shit about cel vs digital.

I've also no doubt that this boards majority age group will be cursing motion capture anime 20 years from now, and singing the praises of good ol' CG and how it took effort.

Personally I prefer the audio noise of the time. Nothing like a scene which is supposed to be completely silent having a slight buzzing noise, just as the director always truly intended.

That show is actually really terrible

The fuck you on about? The right one is way closer to the style used in the late 80s. Undefined moe blobs are in now.

>Sailor Moon isn't even CGDCT it's a fucking mahou shoujo.
And Sentai and Kamen Rider aren't magical girl anime. Your point?
>Shoujo RomCom
>half the cast is male
Fuck off, even if it were CGDCT the genre wasn't properly established until Azumanga refined and popularized its tropes. Therefore, anything predating Azumanga can be considered proto-CGDCT.

I liked the old hand-drawn backgrounds that were a bit rough-around-the-edges due to the use of watercolours and sketched lines. In general though the impression I get is that a well-funded modern anime is a bit too clean and smooth, while a badly-funded modern anime tries too hard and doesn't resort to various tricks to minimise the amount of animation work they have to do, and conserve their resources for more significant sequences.

A lot of what people perceive as 90's style from any of those retro shows that aged well had a lot to do with artistry and skills.

Sailor Moon had some clever bg simplification and a great director overseeing it. That kind of stuff takes a great eye or some experience. The industry is going through renovation, new processes, new animators, a good part of the staff is too green. One thing that really makes a difference is the number of seasoned old farts in mentoring roles, to make the best use of the tight schedule and the available team.

Honestly I'm not sure we can say it is better, but I love it so much, the unnatural colors have a great mood to it and usually match the manga very well, the grit also gives everything a certain down to earth feel that is completely lost in the ultrapolished era.
I'm sure it can be done, it might just be a matter of time for the people who like that style to reach the right positions.
