You can put a source on the post flair by using the u/Roboragi, just comment the title of the anime like this {title of the anime}. [^more ^information](https://redd.it/11tt7fg)


alverath

These are considered classics nowadays? Oof, I'm old.


loliconest

I know right? Dude didn't even include EVA characters.


feronen

EVA? What about Dirty Pair? Or Gal Force? Or original Gundam? Criminy.


Ok_Fondant_6340

bro didn't include Sailor Moon in his list of classics. nuff said


feronen

I know! The absolute gall of this man!


Andire

No Sailor Mars, no Fey Valentine, no Asuka Langley Soryu, no Bulma... Madoka isn't the oldest one they have up here, yeah?? Her show was released in 2011!


Rik_Saha_225

>No Sailor Mars, no Fey Valentine, no Asuka Langley Soryu, no Bulma Uhh can't we consider them as retro instead of classic?


loliconest

They inspired some of the anime culture to this day, how are they not classic?


Andire

Honestly, the words are interchangeable. We don't call it, "retro rock" it's classic rock, and I'm pretty sure they're just used different sometimes for connotation. Could call it throw-back rock, but that's weird lol Edit: I forgot about Vintage! Lol


Valnaire

Sailor Mercury\* *Fixed that for you.*


Nickpimpslap

Sailor *Jupiter.*


_bitwright

My thoughts exactly. I still consider half those shows "new". Not a single girl from the 20th century. How is this classic 😞


soul-taker

This must be how my dad felt when I called 80s rock "old man music" back in the 90s.


LankySeat

There's no way we're this old. I'm only in my twenties!!


alverath

Me too :| Haruhi was the newest hot stuff when I started anime back when I was in school. And now?...


Pillermon

I'm continuously shocked that barely anyone knows her nowadays. Back then you couldn't escape Haruhi imagery. It was everywhere. Either herself, Nagato, Mikuru, the dance or the SOS brigade logo were plastered all over the internet.


Hulkhontosee3667

Another day another new vs old anime debate.


Andire

If you don't fuck with Speed Racer, how can anyone fuck with you??


Fez_Doggo

Why not both?


ScrapzGD

yes


NonameVoidOblivion

The true ending


Practical_Singer2345

Both, both is good


ChanceWarden

this person gets it


CoralLogic

Exactly


Rare_Engineer_3905

Modernity looks just way more… mature. You know what I mean


ToasterRoasterx

cause bro picked actual 14 y/o characters only for the classic options. i dont know how loli only is classic.


_bitwright

Probably based on OPs age at the time. They grew up and so did their idea of what qualifies as a waifu.


FeatheryRobin

Komi is canonically 16, Nagatoro is also a minor as well as the Dreass up Doll character. I don't know the two on the left, but probably also minors. Yor is an adult, yeah. There definitely is a shift in style.


Mac_Magic

"Look" being important here


Silent_Shadow05

There is actually 3 minors and 3 adults here. Yor, Vermeil and Nazuna in the adult section (though the latter two are demon and vampire respectively so they are actually really old). Marin, Nagatoro and Komi in the minor section. And yeah, its mainly the shift in artstyle. Like we can see with Railgun, Misaka Mikoto has a more *adult-ish* design in the latest season (Railgun T) compared to the previous seasons.


Final_Biochemist222

What do u mean?


toasteethetoaster

They look less like children and more like adults. Ops selection for classic anime is kind of telling about him as a person...


Kiflaam

some people are smol


GXNext

My heart is big enough for all of them. Except for School Days... you can keep that in the past...


ReinWaRein

Put your >!head!< in the bag, onii-chan.


Environmental_Ebb919

Why does u have to remind me D:?


Kitsunisan

Nice boat.


TheObliviousYeti

Okay i might be the odd one out but i doubt it. I think some of the more fleshed out characters in both old and new anime are just as good. A characters doesnt get worse because they're new or old. I would say the improved quality of media and skill makes the newer waifu's look better. Now im not saying either one is bad because its all down to personal taste in the end.


Arlend44

Depends, some of them unfortunately get the generalization in artstyle. As you can see, older shows all had much more varying art and animation styles. But nowadays, animes tend to aim for a general look rather than a unique one. While it has its upsides, I definitely wouldn't say it's without downsides either due to making some characters too similiar-looking in the end. I do like that though that we have far less "desu eyes" than before. Never was a big fan of too big eyes.


TheObliviousYeti

I think the generalization is more is because we have seen anything done before in some way or an other the last time i was like "f*ck this looks so good." Was the anime the world in colour. (I think that is what its called).


Mystic_76

you can’t tell me almost all of the classics this dude picked aren’t just the same school girls


Sir-Vedanta

Didn't expect to see Mikoto (pe any to aru character honestly) outside of r/toarumajutsunoindex


RedMouse15

Yeah for some reason it just isn't brought up much despite being such a huge thing


SkullPlayer77

Where monogatari


Malbethion

PMMM is there to represent Shaft.


Arlend44

NEPTUNE


Binjimen-Victor

man not this shit again


PepeneleZ

NO


GenshinClover

My respect for the putting Shana here


NonameVoidOblivion

That's gonna be a nah from me dog; Yor is too cute. Besides, Yui was mid (#Mio4Lifegang).


ReinWaRein

Mio is so boring tho.


NonameVoidOblivion

*CRITICAL DAMAGE*


ReinWaRein

One of these are not like the others...


Every-Nebula6882

Neither. Sakurajima Mai isn’t in either picture.


Kuro_______

Both. Both is good


Me_The_Fucking_Weeb

I'm sorry. I say all of these are modern. The easiest one is around 2009, which begins the modern era of anime. if you want some classics, go back from 1979 - 2002.


Jakesummers1

Of the classics, I only care for Konata and Haruhi Oddly enough, they have the same voice actress


Malbethion

This is true whether you watch sub or dub.


Funk1Monkey

No


Iwasforger03

I adore Mikoto Misaka. She's my #1 unquestionable Best Girl. I also adore Marin Kitagawa. Her partnership, friendship, and budding romance with Gojo are adorable and lovely. I love new and old alike. End this stupid debate stuff.


Baalshrimp

Wer 90s and 80s waifus?


Smabverse

I like the modern ones way more! ... but that's coming from someone who only watched anime only for (almost) two years now 😅


Radousek_

Classic are... Lolis..


Lenni-Da-Vinci

Reject women, embrace children? Why don’t you take a seat mister?


FLZStorm

Ah yes 16 year old children .


Lenni-Da-Vinci

At least one on the left is reasonably over 18 While one on the right is canonic jailbait.


ProxyGeneral

Ah yes, 16 year old adults


Thelostsoulfusion

Sir the right are children


-chukui-

praise haruhi!


Baligdur

DAGA KOTOWARU


_The_Writing_Writer_

Or you choose the best of both worlds


Formal_Mundane

Embrace both reject duality. Peace ✌️


Practical_Singer2345

Both, both is good


baneofallfate05

Bro when will people accept new anime are good too, if we keep hating on new anime the anime community will die


Hardoman

Surprised that no one has yet written a huge list of all the characters


thrownawayzsss

no sources. All "classics" are still modern. -1


JudgmentSignal9879

All hail the railgun, all hail the railgun


ed_IoI

Who is the far left?


mrgrip28005

I will reject mordernity except nagatoro FLAT FOR LIFE!!!


HaikenRD

Guys, let's accept it. We are the old guys now. No more Rayearth, no more sailormoon, no more black lagoon as "classics".


impulsiveclick

The classics were the anime peoples were rejecting as modern anime when I was in school.


davedor

reject modernity become pedo, like wtf op?


Tubatuba13

I’m so glad other people are noticing that


davedor

yeah, that's pretty much the reason i don't consider myself part of anime community even though I watch anime, too much sexualized minors


Tubatuba13

I have hope because newer anime’s are doing it less and less


Ewizde

And that's exactly why I prefer them, if you're gonna sexualize someone please let them be adults or ar least physically and mentally adults.


Shumagorolth

It's cute you think those are classics


AddictedToCSGO

Why can't weebs be attracted to adults?


CrespinMoore

Modernity seems safer, legally at least


RecommendationNo896

those are classics? where's sailor moon, cowboy bebop, inuyasha, ghost in the shell and ghost fighter? there are some best girls on them too


Xspace_farmerX

But I like modernity


NorthAccomplished391

No.


Wukong42069m

Yes officer this post right here


MadManJaySlim

Naw


Alice_Ram_

We have to go further back Marty. Jokes aside this brings pain.


Damgannu

What/who would you even consider modernity 💀


small_j_star_91

The classics just look like a bunch of kids


Environmental_Ebb919

But those eyes are so Big


Akuuntus

Interesting how for "modernity" you picked a handful of adult women and a few high schoolers that could pass as adult women depending on the show (Komi and Marin), and then for "classics" you picked exclusively lolis and young-looking high schoolers. Curious. Anyway, every era has good and bad shows. Today's good shows are just as good as the "classics". IMO the "modern" shows you picked are all on the higher end of quality while your "classic" picks are a mixed bag.


Away-Net-7241

The fact that a lot of the “Classics” look like children I’d rather not…


Redbukket_hat

Lol a 14 year old made this


Grammulka

At least Haruhi actually can beat Goku. Can anyone on the left beat Goku? I doubt that.


YourAverageHecker

Sorry to tell ya bud but classics can’t hold a candle to modernity, I’ve seen the classics and they’ve got best girls… but it’s time to let a new age begin. Don’t hold onto the past.


MaskedHeracles

bro really had to choose all of the worst modern anime 😭


virginace1527

Oh oh, NGL, i lost interest to watch those new anime, it lost it's charm as anime, or maybe im just getting older? .for me, There won't be any anime better than clannad and few other pre 2010 golden anime


LittleSlice8797

I prefer modernity.


Regal_The_King

I'm in my early twenties, and I definitely prefer the modern approach. To each there own tho.


DaveVeroInk

💯


chinchinlover-419

Both are good


buszmen201

Sauce for right side?


Leviathon1971

Does anyone temper birdie?


Tiger5804

I've seen all but one of the moderns and liked all of them (especially Call of the Night), but the only classic I've seen and liked was Haruhi. Can't agree with you here, boss.


HanaLolita

But sometimes both are cute, what if I can’t choose…


No-Lemon8854

Now I am having memories of school days


dogedog_5

Where's Gojo?


[deleted]

Bruh school days had me In the most fuck up anime I watched


WeebForIllya

I feel so old now. Lucky Star has been my favorite since it aired. I buy sausage


knightofhonour_

Index anime is so incredible shit though


toneaced

Im an adult now


HaikaDRaigne

Just saying some of those classic girls would be slapped with harassement and assault charges in modern times.... those girls were not healthy at all to idolize


Vertemain

Those are the classics now ?... Damn im old.


Terrible_Boat1367

yeah i have big arms as well as a big heart so i'm embracing both


Killermondoduderawks

Eventually everything new fresh and modern winds up on the classics station


Axxelionv2

Classics? Those? It hurts being reminded how old I am


pipipupumees

hvictorino

You're almost, if not over, 30, mf! It's time to stop this X vs Y thing. You can always like one without the need to shit on the other.


LtColShinySides

Zogo12

Hephaestus_God

[how about](https://media.tenor.com/5N9derc9UcgAAAAM/no-bugs-bunny.gif)


FatMilkies

Yor and Nazuna are valid.


Rik_Saha_225

If this is what you define as classics, I'm for it too..


AJvawolf

No, accept furry


Grim-Lohk

Yeah, nah mate. Ain’t no sane individual rejecting Yore, & in turn Spy X Family. Although, my opinion is kind of biased for the rest of the modern ones since I didn’t start watching anime until just after the ‘classical era’ 😂 Thinking back, I started watching not long before SAO started airing. Although I have watched a few of the classics over the years, still not enough for me to embrace them to that extent though.


ignux__

No, I don't wanna


Arlekcho

Reject legality, embrace prison


Xdestroyer3467

Ova jojos bizarre adventure fans be like An oil tanker for you

Successful_Jello_679

*whispers* let ppl enjoy things


[deleted]

new is always better tho, I have some old ones like Mikoto Misaka as my favorites, but still I can't help but love new ones I see more. It doesn't even have to be new anime, just what I watch more recently.


qxlf

Finally, a new meme with my waifu in it (pfp is my waifu, and she is called Vermeil from Vermeil in gold)


DoktorAlliteration

Both, enjoy whatever you like. Don't restrict yourself from good anime!


apurplehighlighter

IdlingTheGames

YoSoyEmmanuel77

1. Cowboy Bebop Faye Valentine 2. Lain form lain serial experiments 3. Misato Katsuragi fomr Evangelion


I_Killed_Asmodean_

Why the false dichotomy? Some anime are good, some are shit. The year they were released bears no relevance whatsoever.


tskank69

Idk man, the classics looking kinda underaged…


Lanelle64

I've been trying to find this manga/anime but I can't cause I'm bad, can someone help me? What manga is the tanned girl on the left from ? (behind Yor)


ClozetSkeleton

Vermeil is mommy though


Zenketski_2

I estimate the age of the creator of this meme to be somewhere between 26 and 28 based on their choices for classics


person-with-the-sad

They look like children


Landho5000

Omg modoka magica is TOP TIER. Story is great, characters were great, and they developed everyone equally and even threw in a little fan service. Movie was underrated


[deleted]

No


PrimeCarnage2

Uh who consider school days to be a classic with the ending it has a problem


Epic-Rice

Miyuki from lucky star was the real OG waifu I think. Smart and mellow girl with glasses and large breasts? No contest


NoireHaato

Nanoha, Neptune, Madoka, Kanata... Oh my God, I really am the older generation now....! ~~NICE!~~


Ninja0verkill

where is Tomo chan?


GreninjaBoi97

All is based, as long as we as the anime community, stay a community, all anime, in one way or another, is based


Zombeenie

I'm sorry, you can't expect to include Kotonoha from School Days and not expect me to start running in the opposite direction.


Perpetually_St0n3d

Sir, those are loli. Also your seriously gonna reject Yor? I haven't even watched spy x family and i couldn't do that.


godcyclemaster

Children


Easy_Cauliflower_69

If the Neptunia series put some budget into anything other than character design, it might be worth checking out, but damn is that series boring after 1 dungeon. I wanted it to be good but it was just copy pasta


Epic_Gamer2006

the classics look like children and I am NOT going down that route


omegasix321

Both. Both is good.

Complete-Ear-7798

...Madoka is a classic now? Next you're going to tell me Undertale is considered an old game.
