Was 1998 the best year in anime or at least the second best after 1988?

Is Rose of Versailles worth watching if you liked Utena?
Brayden Diaz
>liked Utena
That's all the more reason to watch it.
Adam Robinson
It's much better than Utena

Yup great year for anime
Blake Campbell
Really? I thought it was a straight up shojo show. Does it have any of that symbolism and theme overload of Utena?
Connor Cruz
>Orphen

The surreal imagery and heavy use of symbolism in RoV was a major influence on Utena.
Plot wise however, RoV is more comparable to LOGH than it is to Utena, since it has a heavy focus on politics and history, and is just more grounded in general (which isn't a bad thing).
Oniisama e... and Princess Tutu are closer to Utena in terms of premise than RoV is, but RoV itself is a must-watch. RoV is my favourite anime of all time, and this is coming from someone who's a complete Utena fanboy.

Cardcaptor Sakura is one of the shows that ruined anime. That was the one that got everyone into these idiotic waifu-bait shows. You have to go to the late 70s and early 80s to get the really good stuff. That was back when every episode had to tell a complete story, because the 50 episode length meant that you couldn't just do a six hour movie like today. If you want to make the case that old anime is better (which it is,) then you need to regress harder.
Brody Scott
Do (you) realise that 50 episode shows still exist, and are still aimed at children just like they were in the 70s?
Eli White
every way
Eli Hall
No one talks about modern 50 episode shows, while the ones from the 70s still are talked about.
Ethan Kelly
What? There's a Precure thread practically all the time. Never mind even longer shows like DBS.
Besides which, what does popularity have to do with anything? You claimed they didn't exist.
Parker Ward
There are no classy 50 episode anime for the whole family.
