How do you mean?

Bump

So I can find this thread again when I continue editing my list :>

Continued my list until 2004. Man, anyone saying "anime is just as good nowadays as it was back then" is just plain lying. So many classics back then in a single year. <3

Nostalgia.

Nostalgia.

That's all this is. Rose-colored glasses to try to back up a claim that is fundamentally untrue due to its subjectivity.

MFauli claims 2004 was a banner year, and I didn't list a single series from that year. Looking back to it, there was some truly fucking garbage series that year too.

Nostalgia.

I'm currently rewatching Dragon Ball Z and it's better than Super or Daima so far.

The "it's just nostalgia"-retort always comes from people too scared to admit that past things were sometimes better.

Or the "the past was better" comes from people who just became bitter.

past things were sometimes better.

Sometimes being the operative word. The actual pattern is it is the same or better in more modern times due to technological progress. It is however true that we have a lot more trash to wade through now because more shows are being produced than ever.
