How Old Do You Like Your Anime/Manga

[diet_orange]

Kind of curious about this, because there always seems to be completely different camps of people who read/watch anime and manga. Personally I have no preference, I just enjoy it for what it is. I am however very thankful that we seem to be getting a lot of older manga releases brought stateside through Omnis

I'm more of a mix bag when it comes to reading manga or watching anime.

I'd say I definitely have a preference, but that won't stop me from watching other eras. I love the look & feel of 80's & 90's anime.
I feel like a lot of modern anime is a bit too clean looking and uniform in comparison.
Obviously, that's not all modern anime, and it's just the visual style. There can be so much more interesting stuff beyond that regardless of era.

No preference, really. If anything, it's more genres that I'm not into than time period. I will say that I don't like webtoon format where you just scroll endlessly, so that's definitely a newer thing I dislike, if that counts.

90s-2000s so mine is inbetween. 90s-early 2000s was peak Shonen Jump.

Even with Cartoons I prefer them hand drawn. But then you get stuff like "The Amazing World Of Gumball" that is such a huge clash of different animation styles that you can't help but admire it

A bit of each era but mostly stuff from the 90´s and 00´s

I never really thought of age when I like something ngl.

80s-90s-early 2000s were peak anime. Half of our American shows from the mid 80s had animated support by hit anime studios such as Toei and TMS.

Anime wise I go back to the 80's.
No hate towards Gundam or Space Battleship Yamato but I prefer more fluid, detailed animation than what we had in the 60's & 70's. The OVA Boom did wonders to advance the medium.

Manga it's all the way to the 70's with Cutie Honey, Captain Harlock, Getter Robo, Kamen Rider etc.

Personally I grew up with Fox kids/Saban, Toonami & ADV. (4kids too but bleh )
Yet I had access to alot of older VHS tapes of things such as Bubblegum Crisis & The Guyver thanks to a local market stall.

Pre-2000 for me, though occasionally something newer will catch my eye. I mostly end up watching a lot of 80s stuff.
moe and slice of life stuff started to make up the majority of the medium during the 2000s, so less and less things interested me. Plus I wasn't a fan to the switch to digital and the general art style shift.

80's-early 00's was the peak of anime. There are some good series from the 60-70's as well, but the animation was a bit too rudimentary back them. From the 2010's on, the digital techniques starting taking over and anime lost some of its hand drawn charm.
