Boomer take, but 80-90s amime opening themes hit different. Not saying modern themes are bad but idk there's something far more catchy about them old themes.
Iirc like, half of all anime that ever came out is between now and the 2010's so it could be like, more time and thought put in to it. I also find something very charming with how a lot of older shows looked, the technology wasn't there yet but it's like the... imperfections for lack of a better word add to the beauty

I don't know if the Yu Yu Hakusho OP is necessarily better than modern anime OPs in my opinion, but something about it does hit different I agree

And the EDs are actual god tier. Every single one of them is so good

Lack of technology back then resulted with creativity that was abundant with plenty of time. Here is one that was created by Akira Toriyama.

I feel like a lot of that is due to the color pallet and the shading. I'm not gonna say that modern anime animation is bad (far from it) but I feel like things were lost in translation when it went all digital and HD.

Toei Animation and Studio Juno were responsible for Sonic CDs opening and ending videos with Hisashi Eguchi being the chief key animator.

Pikmin 4 third area spoilers:
I have defeated the Waterwraith and obtained Wave Race for the Nintendo Gamecube! He squashed almost half of my Pikmin so I rewound time, and he still squashed 20 after that. They recreated the cave from Pikmin 2 with some new enemies, was pretty cool. Nice to see the pipe I hid in out of fear when I first played Pikmin 2 as a kid.
The WHAT? IM IN THAT AREA!!

Welp, I made an appointment at a transgender clinic. Very likely I'll be starting hrt in mid September. There's no more denying I'm trans.

Feels like I went from 0 to 100 real fast but it has been half a year.

Just...man. This was unthinkable for me a year ago. You never really know where life is going to take you.

Still cis though

Man I just don't see the point in this, you can just say he got old and is past his prime

Also I finished Justice League Unlimited today, may very well be the best superhero cartoon I've ever seen

Honestly not really anything out of the ordinary when it comes to messing around with HL2 citizen models in GMod...until you see how many views the videos have.

I... I actually got to see Shin Kamen Rider. Needed a lot of ****ing around and a vpn to get a Prime account to actually work for once but, I actually got it with the free trial and all. Thematically it feels very similar to the Barbie movie funny enough but just. Wow. I'll leave a link to the Amazon Prime page so if anyone has 2 hours to spare, I hope you enjoy something that means a lot to me

Would you recommend it to someone who has never seen a Kamen Rider thing before?

Pikmin 4 spoiler question




So with Purples and Whites back, do they finally have an onion? I saw that Purple/White Candypop buds are back but I've also seen people get things that look like a Purple/White Onion.
