It's so much better. Nothing irks me more than someone who says "thats old I can't watch it I don't like how it looks" but they watch a bunch of terrible computer generated generic ass shows about cute highschool girls..... The fuck happened? I'm fine with people liking what they like. I don't judge, but at the same time it's mind boggling how you couldn't see the beauty and personality coming through these older animations. Every anime I see now looks so soulless. Every anime that comes out looks the damn same and I'm tired of it. I recommend space dandy for some of that old style of animation. The animation in it is done by different animators for each episode and they all look spectacular.
I think modern animation practices have a place but I'd definitely love to see new 80s-esque cel animated shows for variation and style. A big part of the charm of older shows like Akira is in the type of animation I think.
@Tatl Tael Actually im a fan of city pop, i also enjoy to listen synthwave and vapor and other stuffs but.. This OST of wicked city had sth that i can't find anywhere, the tempo is quite slow, the instrument like piano or synth... Its give me the feel like night drive in 80s Japan;)))
