Isekai made fantasy super derivative.
Also, Berserk will never be completed. Engage the sad.

>Generic isekai (which doesn't represent the majority of fantasy anime)
Super derivative
>Devilman ripoff
I don't know shit about anime & manga so I automatically assume anything made before I was born is original

Got to hand it to ink and paint animators for giving the snow deceptively simple paths without that single file snow garbage they've been doing for years.

>The T'heydinn is an oral history of each Moorish tribe which is recited and handed down the generations by the tribe's griots through music and poetry. In traditional Moorish society, each tribe maintained its griots on a gabdh, a kind of lifelong annual pension. Changes in lifestyle have meant this no longer the case and the T'heydin is today an endangered oral culture. Most of the griots today are elderly, with rapidly diminishing numbers and very few youngsters show an interest in taking up the griots lifestyle. The T'heydin is an oral tradition that is handed down the generations through the imitation of the musical talents of the ancestors and is performed on festive occasions with musical accompaniment. The griots live in all regions of Mauritania, although some regions are better known for their griot families. The regions of Hodh, Tagant-Assaba, Trarza-Brakna and Adrar are particularly well known for its griots. The population of griots is currently estimated to stand at over a thousand.
>The griots belong to specific families and almost form a musical caste within Mauritanian society. T’heydinn poems have also been composed by poets not belonging to such families. Griots hand down their knowledge from father to son. The father or a qualified relative initiates the young griot into playing musical instruments and later into the arts of music and poetry, culminating in his initiation into the art of the T’heydinn through recitation and mastery of the family’s own heritage. During this period of apprenticeship, the apprentice performer accompanies his father at all events, ceremonies and performances where he can turn practice and acquire new skills on the job. Every griot family guards its own T’heydinn repertoire as it distinguishes it from other griot families. A griot in possession of the whole epic is respected by all the other griot families and termed a 'bearer of the T’heydinn epic'.

>why is old thing better then x thing nowaday
I genuinely think no one who talks like this watches anything besides whats trending on their twitter account

The Berserk anime was considered shit even during the 90s
Cooper Ward
really? were you there?
Matthew Jones
People used to these things with passion 20-30 years ago. Now it's mass production to make money. Not just anime. Everything.
Grayson Thompson
they make too much anime too fast.
Digital technology is only beneficial for efficient mass production, hardly beneficial on the personal level
The more advanced, the more complex, the artform, the more powerful the technology, the more work, the more time, people, money it takes to PERFECT.
It's why they don't release a new GTA every year
Jace Edwards
Wrong. Satoshi Kon even liked it so much he made an AMV for it.
Ethan Diaz
>It's why they don't release a new GTA every year
No that's because they can milk GTA online forever, they don't have to make a new one. GTA V was garbage anyway and the worst entry in a while, I don't know about this "PERFECT" shit you're talking about.
Daniel Peterson
Where can I find that AMV?
Oliver Wood
Adrian Jenkins
Thanks.
Bentley Harris
Why is "beloved critically aclaimed work" better than "generic, literally who series"
Christopher Sanders
Not even the best fantasy anime of the 90s
Jackson Thomas
Slime Isekai is better though.
Joshua Mitchell

Someone just start spamming the usual images already.

Why is this 25 year old fantasy show better than most other 25 year old fantasy shows as well?
Probably because it's that good? Stop thinking in OLD VS NEW and start comparing Berserk to most other things labeled fantasy in the 1990s, such as derivative shite like Ryuu Knight and the myriad of shitty isekai like El Hazard.
Ryder Miller
No, no one in the English fanbase knew it until the Dreamcast game
Angel Anderson
William Walker
Because it takes itself seriously rather than being shitty self-referential otaku shit.
also, it has its own setting, rather than using the same generic JRPG setting.
Charles Adams
Not a modern complaint.
Jeremiah Lee
Name three modern fantasy series that don't have this problem.
Lucas Martinez
What fantasy is even being made these days? Unless you count isekai, there's been fuck all.
Brandon Powell
No.
Dominic Parker
Because most new "fantasy" shows aren't fantasy they are rpg gamer wish fulfillment shit with a vague fantasy skin stripped over content that isn't fantasy. The series are not about fantasy or a fantasy world to explore, it's only stuff with fantasy elements because you need 0 research or knowledge for such a setting that is half fantasy (but not original fantasy, just the most common denominator of rpg fantasy shit) and a bit of hollywood middle ages and a bit of modern Japan bullshit.
Alexander Johnson
Because Caska is fucking magic
Alexander Barnes
Wow, I had no idea this happed
Wyatt Richardson
I like Bard Loen, Ousama Ranking, Atelier Witch Hat, Frieren, Magus of the Library and a bunch of others that are currently running there are good fantasy series out there and rarely some of them get an adaption like Ousama and Atelier soon. But they are a minority and the huge mass of retards will always ignore it to watch seven isekai instead.
Jacob Hughes
I never said modern fantasy series don't have that problem. I'm arguing that most 90s series have the same exact problem.
Most popular fantasy manga from the 1980s and 1990s suffered the same "haha self-rential otaku humor" and "JRPG setting" bullshit that modern series do.
Wyatt Sanchez
self-referential***

Never knew about this, pretty cool. The idea of one of the most acclaimed anime film directors sitting at his PC cutting together Berserk clips for an AMV is hilarious to me.
Angel Evans
Because all fantasy shows you get nowdays atr just ISEKAI THIS ISEKAI THAT. Anime is rip
Bentley Taylor
I never said no old series have that problem, I meant that there are some that do not. There aren't any new ones that do not. So if you're looking for a fantasy anime that's not fucked by this it's gonna have to be old.
Julian Ross
Even Lodoss War is literally based on a fucking Dungeons and Dragons campaign the author had and is set in the same world as a (real) Japanese tabletop RPG and video game, which had multiple "dude we're in an RPG lol" spinoffs on different continents.
Leo Adams
Character designs. The mid teen spiky haired softboi aesthetic doesn't work in a medieval Europe-inspired fantasy setting. Guts looked like a man of his times and setting.
Caleb Walker
damn you got me
Dominic Torres
>There aren't any new ones that do not.
I think there are some but they are rare and I cannot name any recent examples for anime save for Ranking of Kings unless you count fantasy in general which would you get Made in Abyss and such.
I think the problem is how they do it too. Lodoss was literally based on D&D stuff as said but it was good. But it isn't self-referencing or referencing the fucking otaku culture to be all meta. Good fantasies tell a story about an actual character within a fantasy setting instead of breaking the forth wall or begging people to self-insert while pandering to them.
David White

Somali to Mori no Kamisama
Samuel Wright
Matthew Walker
read Magus of the Library
Hudson Bailey
Honestly, I skip out on a lot of fantasy stuff if I think the character designs look really uninteresting. I think the last "new" one I watched was Bahamut in 2014. Didn't bother with the sequel series at all.
William Hernandez
>Someone just start spamming the usual images already.
Like the pre 2000 and post 2000 screencap comparison?
Juan Morales
Because it's fucking Berserk. No matter how shit the adaptation, the source material carries it.
That anime was pretty mid though, and the OP is the most hilarious out-of-tune-recorded-in-a-basement tier garbage I have ever heard. If it had a proper studio and budget behind it, THEN it would mop the entire anime market as easily as Soulsfags and Elden Cockring is doing with video games.
Zachary Mitchell
Most (not all) modern fantasy series look and feel like idol shit mixed with ecchi shit.
The best you can do is to ignore them instead of watching then and actually watch the few fantasies we get that aren't like that instead of ignoring those too because you don't even give modern anime a chance. Isekai fuckers are engaged and watch that shit. If the industry realises that actual fantasy is popular too they would make it more often.
Charles Perry
Take that back you cretin, Tell me why is pure SOVL.
Hunter Harris
How can a source material carry an anime adaptation, if the adaptation is shit then no matter how perfect the source is, the anime will still be garbage. They are separate things.
Owen James
MiA is a fantasy anime and it's better than Berserk.
Elijah Garcia
>Something something the world is too cynical and post-modern.
>something something the writers have no magic in their hearts.
Jaxon Mitchell
99% of fantasy is now isekai garbage that just regurgitates the same derivative plot, setting, round walled off town, starter zone, rpg mechanics, etc. they put no effort into the world or setting or politics. its all generic as fuck. theyd all be better if they just dropped the isekai part, but they refuse to stand on their own merit.
Noah Green
>something something the writers have no magic in their hearts.
Magic doesn't exist.
Kevin Carter
The worst is that literally every male anime fan I know in real life or know online keeps watching that shit so it won't end anytime soon.
Lincoln Jackson
Blame Dragon Quest, fantasy anime's been stuck in this "generic RPG fantasy" rut for 30 years now.
