What is it about 90s anime/japan before the recession that made it perfect? Every time I see videos of 90s Japan or watch 90s anime, I close my eyes and pray that I could be reincarnated back in time as a Japanese student in the 90s.
What is it about 90s anime/japan before the recession that made it perfect...
>90s
>before the recession
Things that don't exist are not limited by reality
...
It's because the cozy carelessness of student life in 90s suburban Japan feels much more authentic and worthwhile than NEET life in the 2010s
haha fuckin weeb
>weeb as an insult
Sup Forums 2016
This has to be it.
Ocean Waves was a really shitty and boring movie though.
>(You)
Weeb has always been an insult, it's just that it's worthless to throw around in Sup Forums
Difference audience, had nothing to do with economics. Blame the switch to latenight.
Anime was made for actual people instead of subhuman otaku. And to clarify two things , First, I mean MADE for - otaku always liked anime, but they were a secondary market outside of niche ovas. Second, I mean idol-stabbing, hikkineet, true blue otaku buried in his own collection of merchandise, not you faggots watching crunchyroll and playing the label ironically to be trendy.
What a qt. I love 90s character designs
S-she actually looks like an Asian girl!
It really is though. Probably one of the worst Ghibli movies of all time.
Terrible directing, and very boring weak characters.
That main girl was a real bitch for no reason.
Ghibli characters still look the same now as they did 30 years ago. Just look at Marnie.
>Eva was meant to criticize otaku
>Pioneers the late-night timeslot
Yeah, the irony has been well-documented over the past two decades but the rabbit hole just keeps going deeper each time you look.
It critisized certain aspects of otaku, but I wouldn't say NGE is specifically anti-otaku.
anime characters will never look this good.
>Every time I see videos of 90s Japan or watch 90s anime
>I close my eyes
can't really watch them if you close your eyes, you 90s fag
GOOD ONE REDDIT FUCK NIGGER SHIT KEK ASS NIGGER
Movie was shit.
>posting Ocean Waves instead of Only Yesterday
...
>Only Christmas cake
I'll pass.

This is now a Ghibli girls thread. Posting superior 90s ghibli girl.
Most of Only Yesterday was set in the 60s though.
A much more comfier era in my opinion.
stupid shit makes me laugh
why is that?
dumb shit is the most basic form of humor
Is this a cute romance? They look a lot like me and my girlfriend.
>this is what delusional weebs actually believe
I wish the whole movie was in that trippy other world, though the visuals of 90s Japan were beautiful in the first half of the movie.
>life in Japan is good
Not really. Japanese people aren't particularly happy (there's a happiness rank by country, Japan ranks low). Life revolves around work to an autistic degree, and obligations to your family, boss, and society really shape your whole future and outlook. As much as I like anime and I do want to learn Japanese, I'm pretty glad I was born in America with chill parents.
Cool anecdote bro
Yes it is. Cute romance + great soundtrack + 90s Japan greatness.
So cute!
Further proof Ocean Waves is an underrated masterpiece.
Anime back then actually tried to tell interesting stories
Anime now is just generic slice of life waifushit for the lonely virgins to spend their money on since they'll never actually get a real girlfriend
Money.
That's for parroting that tired information here, guy who has never been to japan or even spoken to a jap. I'm sure no one here has ever seen your post before.
Effort level, studios having real money and influence instead of relying on production committee commercialism
90s is cool, but I feel more that way about the 80s than anything. Pseudo-nostalgia for an era I never even experienced. The 90s is more like a tangent of the 80s that doesn't quite have the same magic. Early 00s holds a special place too as some kind of calm before a storm of incredibly mediocre but charming anime.
Literal shit post.
