Why did anime have more soul when watching it on a CRT?

>My old 90s jrpg and crt old 90 anime guys
>so retro

Anime after 2003 stopped being in 4:3

You are just being a nostalgic fag.

Because the nostalgia goggles are too tight around your head, leaving your brain with little to no oxygen to do its job.

why does Yea Forums hate CRTs more than Yea Forums?

Go back to Yea Forums

Yea Forums has autism

More like 2007. At least on TV. There were several years there where you had to wait for the DVDs to get widescreen for a lot of series (it depended on the channel it was airing on).

Imagine taking this picture unironically.

>normies

Better motion resolution, viewing angles, and color reproduction than any consumer LCD has been able to achieve in one package even up to now. A top of the line OLED can pretty much achieve all of that in standard definition viewing mode. CRTs are basically free now so they're more desirable to NEETs and hipsters.

I would imagine early to mid 00s show would look better on crt due to them being native 480i/p. but a good blu-ray remaster looks better for cel animation.

I dont know that feel, always used long play mode

9:1 ratio I was watching commercial content. LP still looks like shit when the tapes been rented 28,278 times.

I still watch anime on CRTs. If I can't, then it's not a show worth watching anyways.

One of the things newer people might not realize about CRTs is that they all had varying degrees of overscan.
This was where the full image was not visible on the screen. Some models were worse than others, but I think they all had it.
Now imagine Asuka when she shows up for the first time and you know nothing about her.
>That's the viewing fee. Quite the bargain, don't you think?

no. no they did not. anyone watching anime on a 70s tv deserves it anyways

“Soul” is your mind filling in the blanks to compensate for the lack of detail/fidelity. This unique and personal perception creates an intimate bond between the viewer and the work, this is “soul”.
When watching a work in higher detail, such as with a remaster, there are less voids for your own perception of the work to fill in.
This loss of intimacy with the work is what people call “soulless”.
Its all in your head.

Is "soul" just another word for "old good, new bad"?

The x-rays peered a bit more into your soul. Also CRTs have no pixels.

I still use both my CRT TV and CRT monitor, I've never even owned a flatscreen in my life and I don't see the need for one when my "old" stuff still works completely fine.

>this thread is still up
yikes

Because old non-widescreen anime had soul. Frames were hand-drawn and there was little to no CGI. Pair that with an era-appropriate TV and you've entered anime heaven.

>muh soul
Go back to Yea Forums.

not the same thing

digital anime like desert punk and gits stand alone complex looks like shit on a crt though, sad

What part of era-appropriate TV do you not get?

>assuming I'm disagreeing with you
stubborn shit

Use mpv!

No flat panel technology can achieve electron beam scanning raster on a phosphor screen.

CRT gives true black and better contrast than LCD/LED, and colors aren't as washed out.

Yea Forums needs them for shit like melee

/vr/ seems to like CRTs a lot for the vintage games, especially Sony Trinatrons

Also, the lower res meant the artwork back in the day was much more simplified

TFW remembering when SVGA was the shiz-nit

>smash
The true sign of eternal virginity

I was in the scene and I can assure you most people there had decently healthy sex lives. probably moreso than this board. smash is pretty normie now, even our old smash grandmaster is getting married soon.

It didn't. Most of the stuff produced back then stayed in Japan for good reason, and half of what made it to the west has been forgotten.

>i was in the scene
Lose your virginity.

>*sniffs seat*

>healthy sex lives

>getting married
You should try having sex.

Most tv's had overscan,
but only the shitty models and older tv's were incapable of correcting overscan.

yikes

Jesus christ what a fucking shit thread
There's really no difference between Yea Forums and Yea Forums now.

Programmes were intentionally framed with overscan taken into account, and often there were shit like mic booms that you weren't supposed to see.

Watching Lain on a CRT is max soul

It's /r9k/ being too much of a bitch to say FAG.
Fuck this thread and fuck crossboarders

There's more noise which gives more of a feeling that it's alive rather than the stale clean-ness of modern digital anime. But it did give you 4X3 Eyes.

...

Also a CRT TV DEMANDS your attention, if you aren't looking directly at it it's flashing away in your peripheral vision trying to give you a seizure. So you probably pay more direct attention. Plus everything was better in the 90s, except the internet.

>except the internet.
Same shitposting, just in usenet.

CRTs are like vinyl/cassette.

Have some virtues and are fun for hipsters but nobody who was stuck with them as their everyday technology would go back. CRTs are fun but try doing a hundred hour week editing code on one, you'll feel like your eyeballs are being ripped out of your head.

I don't really remember having any more eye strain back then than now, maybe other way around. At least you can dim crt down but keep the contrast range, unlike most panels with backlights today that become only uneven gray mess if you try to use them in dimmed down environment.

even the internet was better in the 90s

How about watching the Lain laserdisc box set on a CRT?

Well, I can only go on my experience perhaps. What I will say when I the kids get argumentative on this, they think everyone had a massive Trinitron because those are the units people have hung onto long enough for them to get their mitts on. In reality that would cost more than your computer, I eventually had one at work but it was A Big Deal. They aren't thinking about the crappy 17" or even 15" units most people had though.

Nope, but I have seen Yarawa on laserdisc fed into a Commedore Amiga, then out through a genlock onto VHS
