They really don't make this kind of anime anymore.

I see what you mean. I don't even hate modern anime, but shows like this just have a distinct feeling to them that goes beyond nostalgia.

I'd imagine that the type of anime we saw in the period between the mid-to-late 1980s and early 2000s exist in a now-bygone age. Doesn't mean that modern anime is bad, like Rynnec said, but we're not likely to see shows with the same kind of grit as Outlaw Star, Cowboy Bebop, The Big O, etc. any time soon, if at all.

Welp, I'm out. Goodnight everybody!

It's a different age, that's all there is to it.

And not really that much of a better age, IMO.

^Now now, is there really need to be mean? [lol] Adding to "different age" that it doesn't mean its better is redundant when the statement was "it was different" without commenting for good or bad

Anyhoo, I have no clue what the actual conversation is, but I don't see that as reason to avoid dropping in to comment on crap tongue

I only found out a few days ago Outlaw Star came back. If you can't tell by my name, it's probably my favorite piece of media.

I damn near cried when I found out it was coming back to TV. I had really hoped it would when Funimation released the HD Blu Ray set. Reading the reactions of people new to the anime makes me smile (all the references to Starlord, Major Makoto, and misspelling Gene's name as Jin). I don't have a means of watching it on TV, but I can watch the Toonami stream at least.

I'm so thankful that Toonami's giving Outlaw Star time in the spotlight once more. It deserves to be remembered with other classic anime like Bebop and Trigun.

[up][up][up] It's a 90's anime.

Its perfectly fine to point out how the quality isn't as good as most modern anime are.

I was more focused on the 4:3 ratio and the borders Toonami had to use. Looked like a youtube bootleg.

[up][up]Not really? That's like if I played a game from the 90's and complained that its graphics don't look as great as today's games. OFC it's not going to compare to modern-day stuff because it's not from the modern day.

Oh man, Star's here?

How long as it been since I've seen you around the forums? Sorry to hear that you won't be able to catch Outlaw Star live per se, but enjoy the ride nonetheless. grin

Of all the shows I'd expect to avert Sci-Fi Writers Have No Sense of Scale, Dragon Ball wasn't one of them. It's kind of nice.

I don't think Bulma was that smart in DB, was she?

[up] Though only Videl really softened. Bulma, Chi-Chi & 18 all have an edge.

@Black Yakuzu 94 It's Bulma, I'm only surprised she didn't make the spaceship herself.
