Old garbage

kek. I cannot comprehend this. A couple of these look like they are made for 4 year olds

Kill yourselves.

I think that this list lone should show us how quickly anime has improved and is improving.
Anime is getting better every year and I think the older=better attitude that is often applied to western filmography translates very poorly to anime.

>Char's Counterattack
How

>Tom and Jerry
>American cartoons confirmed as anime by one of Japan's top animators.

Tomino stronk!

>Evangelion not even in his top 10

What a fucking dumb ass, I'm outta this dumb thread

>no evangelion

this guy some kinda pleb or what

Probably just likes the animation / camera angles / mobile suit designs. Which really were top notch actually.

>Tom & Jerry (1944)
Good taste.

>Tom and Jerry.

Absolutely based.

>tom and jerry
Best anime

Actually really good for that timeframe. Anne, Aim for the Ace and Conan are especially good choices.

Wow, the only thing Anno likes that isn't shit is Tom and Jerry.

It's from 1991 I don't think NGE existed back then

He's right though. While his list contains a few legit gems, many better shows came out in the '90s and 2000s and undoubtedly, a post '91 Anno would have mentioned them instead. I mean, we know he loves the fuck out of Sailor Moon and Ikuhara's work in general, so that at least would have to go on there.

He doesn't give a shit about Ikuhara's works, he just desperately wants Ikuhara to be his Kaworu

Armhair?

>7. Future Boy Conan (1978, TV)
>8. Aim at Ace (1973, first TV series)
>10. Ann the Red Hair [Anne of Green Gables] (1979, TV)
Anno confirmed for god taste

>tom and jerry

>9. Tom & Jerry (1944)

So, Tom & Jerry thread?

>he thinks NGE is bound by conventional tempo-chronological impediments

I haven't seen Pyuta or Conan, rest is solid desu

Yes. Anime is a term for any animation, it's just convenient to use it as an of-japanese-origin term due to how disgusting the western industry is today.

Tom and Jerry is better than most anime

I hope you mean all anime.

>Tomino shit
>solid

>mobile suit gandon
Not sure anymore, but I think I even dropped that one

Tom and Jerry is basically anime

Blue Cat Blues best short

>decade gap between listing and latest series

But anime is getting shittier and shittier every year because more and more inbred otaku are making more dogshit just for inbred, shut-in NEETs like they used to be.

There are levels of brilliance at work in Tomino shows most people can't comprehend, don't be fooled by little things like the unwatchably bad direction and writing.

Possibly, but no one apart from shut in NEETs actually watches anime outside of Japan, so the quality can be said to increase

Only if you'e a nigger of a child who thinks "old = bad because old"

I don't think old=bad, I just don't necessarily think automatically that old=good
And I like anime with older styles my favourite anime started in 1988 for fuck's sake I just find that apart from a few masterpieces, I enjoy more recent anime to older anime.

what the shit, was tom and jerry really made in 1944? It's some truly timeless shit

> Tom & Jerry (1944)

>It's in a critical condition right now. [...] They've been making only similar things for the past ten years.
- Anno on anime, 1996.

Good 2D animation is timeless.

>They've been making only similar things for the past ten years.
Really makes you think

>from 1991
The list has probably changed since then.

>Tom and Jerry
He really is the master, though.

It was high budget shorts and often shown in theaters only

>Tom & Jerry
I'll never understand why this keeps ending up on favorite anime lists.

Not surprising that the guy with depression is a nostalgia-fag

Because its genuinely good.

The list is from '91. Before he got depressed.

It makes me think that people will always idolize the past.

I think we're on to something here.

But why? Why is it such a faithful recreation?

>90% from 70's-80's
>Anno born 1960

Sounds like he's just idealizing stuff from his childhood/adolescence

Why not?

Just like everyone else on the planet

>list from 1991
>TV anime began in 1963
>90% of list is from the 70s and 80s
Yeah, what a fucking shock.

Post your fav T&J sketch

youtu.be/rw1pA9RVXiI
youtu.be/HcNo_i7OGqw

I can't think of a specific one actually, not sure how many I've actually seen. Probably none in a decade at least.

That's why I'm downloading the entire collection as we speak.

>Animated the outer's transformation sequences
>doesn't give a shit

Yeah, you know him so well.

Get in the Eva, Thomas!

So according to this, minus Tom & Jerry this is what Anno would post if he were in a 3x3 thread

. Mobile Suit Gundam (1979, TV)
>liking that piece of shit

Try posting that in the actual 3x3 thread and see what happens

>gif

Please don't spook me, baldman

Let's post our choices if it was 1991 now.
1. Angel's Egg
2. Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind
3. Sadness of Belladonna
4. Urusei Yatsura 2: Beautiful Dreamer
5. Galaxy Express 999
6. Wings of Honneamise
7. Dragon's Heaven
8. Rose of Versailles
9. Broken Down Film
10. Daicon IV

Unless you understood Nip, you wouldn't have been able to see most of those with subs back then.

I'm kind of asuming I am me around my age but back in 91 and japanese. I mean I was -1 years old in 1991.

1. Robotech
2. There are anime besides Robotech?

Heck, in my country probably none of them would be available back then.
