I don't know about you guys, but honest to god, I feel like this makes anime look awesome as fuck.

Also, I would skip to around 0:40 since there's an oddly long shot of the Orion logo at the beginning.

Mad House bankrupt?!?! Weren't they one of the best animation studios? Aren't they making One Punch Man at the moment?

One Punch Man is made on a very small budget. It only looks so good because the animators really enjoy the source material.

If you aren't paying any attention to anime and over-generalise it, sure.

There's a lot of trash each season, but there's so much more airing each season than in the past and every season has plenty of shows worth watching. The past looks rose-tinted because you filtered out the two thirds/three quarters of the shows that sucked or weren't memorable.

The market has still backed itself into an awful otaku-driven corner, but that doesn't mean that all shows are bad. It just means you get to watch all of the good shows that air each season sell poorly and not get second seasons because the market incentivises short single seasons to advertise the source material without adapting the rest. 47 shows aired in 1995, many of them being long-running shows. Now over 80 shows air [I]this season.[/I] Whether or not you believe in quality over quantity, the number of good shows that accompany lots of bad shows is also higher.

This picture has a pretty broad definition of "right now"

A lot of people pine for the 80s OVA market but that was just a product of a time where Japan had more money than it knew what to do with, it's not coming back.

I don't know what exactly it is, but there's something that I love about the feeling of 80s-90s anime. When the production quality and animator skill was high so the visuals was smooth and detailed, but there was still that slight grit and roughness of physical paint-and-ink cels.

Not that I think modern stuff is bad or worse - some of my favorite anime is digital, plus I watch them on Blu-Ray not VHS - but there's something about that aesthetic that I find really appealing. Like, the visual equivalent of the "warmth" of vinyl, I guess.

Not enough tiddie but cool anyway.

no, OPM had an average budget, which is still an achievement considering the level of animation it has, but misinformation like that is still bad

[quote=Google Translate]One Punch Man tends to have an image that the budget is abundant, but never such a thing, it is an average level to the last. The enthusiasm and enthusiasm for the animator who is participating, sticking to each section hard and making One Punch Man is made. I look forward to your continued support of Anime One Punch Man in the future![/quote]
