Someone has to force me to read this post. It's too big and boring. Brevity is the sister of talent, remember that. Humph. Someone has to force me to read this post. It’s too big and boring.

That's not to say a show like Cowboy Bebop can't have excellent animation. However, my expectations for a show to have good animation are higher for newer shows than older shows if for no other reason than the technology available to people at the time. As for story is concerned, no, I don't see any difference between older shows and newer ones.

I'm a relatively new listener, so I don't know if you've answered this on the show already, but here goes. I understand that this post was made long, long, LONG ago and as such I'm hopelessly out of date on the matter...but this line sort of jumped out and hit me in the face: "I wouldn’t expect an anime released in 1996 to have the same quality as one released in 2006" Could you elaborate on this for me? What is so inherently inferior about anime from ten years ago? Certain shows from roughly ten years ago such as Evangelion, Trigun, and Cowboy Bebop are all still very popular among American anime fans, many of whom would consider them superior to a large amount of what is being released currently. The same would hold true for titles from twenty years ago, thirty years ago, and so on. Hi there.
