>>5735044>late 2000s anime is objectively better than pre-2006 shit overall, pre-2006 studios were still grappling with the transition to digital and everything looked fucking ugly as shit and aged poorly. just compare the first season gonzo FMP to the KyoAni FMP. the difference is drastic, and most pre-2006 anime looked like the former.Excuse me, GTFO newfag. Plenty of old, traditional-cel anime looks incredible.
If the film was well preserved and got a proper HD transfer, it looks fucking amazing. The small handful of DBZ episodes that FUNi properly transferred to those "Level" Blu-Rays (and the leaked/online only ones, up to Ep 39 I believe) look better than most of fucking Super.
Cowboy Bebop is a perfect example - the only parts that aged poorly were the CG bits that were mastered to some interlaced SD tape format after being rendered at a pretty low resolution.
GITS:SAC is another great example - early 00s, brilliantly done - only the low-res CG aged poorly.
Samurai Champloo is an unfortunate "bad" example - early digital animation that was mastered in SD.
So much digitally animated (and more importantly, inked) anime has kind of converged on a similar look. Cel animated / ink/paint had a bit more character, even when the art and animation itself didn't have all the bells and whistles that came with digital animation.
Not shitting on all new stuff, but don't write old shit off because your only impression of it is low quality SD stuff or poorly transferred "HD" shit like DBZ.
