Anime is not an artstyle, it's another name for Japanese cartoons. You will find all sorts of art styles featured in anime.

>>1761816
It is an art style at the same time. It is distinctly different from other country's animation in how it usually looks.

Anyway, up through the PSX era anime themed cartoons were so cool, so exotic and rare. Seeing adverts for Tales of Destiny really got me pumped for it since the art style was like not much else around at the time. It's kind of sad that nowadays they have flooded the market and are not only nothing special, are boring since there's so many.

>>1762212
>through the PSX era anime themed cartoons

Meant games, confused myself with all the cartoon talk

>>1762212
Cyberblock Metal Orange had a GOAT ost

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SFKi02h4q4A

Though most X68K games had great OSTs

Everything on the PC 98

>>1761816
>Being this autistic

You know what he means.

>>1762225
Surely you mean-

Everything on the PC-88. PC-98, FM TOWNS, X68000, PC-FX and every jap exclusive for the Saturn.

>>1761816
It does tend to follow trends during each decade. Besides, everyone knows what a person means when they say "anime art style".

Also I love Wild Arms 2, every time you load up a saved game it plays a short intro movie. So it sets this fantastic atmosphere every time you start up the game. Not only that, it switches things up by giving you a different intro movie for the second disk.

>>1761816
It rolls off the mouth better than Big Eyes Small Nose

>>1762268
It's BESM, BIG EYES, SMALL MOUTH.

Anywho, in most cases, "anime" style artwork and spritework tended to work better, due to more emphasis being placed on characters' eyes, and external indicators of emotion. At the time in the early nineties, NEO TOKYO IS ABOUT TO E X P L O D E , so HOLY SHIT, MAN, JAPANIMATION EVERYWHERE. Gimme some of dat Escaflowne and El Hazard.

Lost on a tangent. Um... right. Original art styles being left in games was always a treat. Exotic, different.

>>1762230
I like it. WA3 did that too but I believe it had like....4 or 5 different movies that would play depending on how far along you were.

>>1762228
>>1762230
I don't know what he means. Maybe I've watched too much anime.

>>1762212
The main difference is that Japan has a far higher amount of animation than all others combined and a few peculiarities of the distribution/broadcast formats.

a lot of RPGs from the time, especially the Gamearts/ WD library

I quite like her hat

>>1762395
This looks great.
I'm pondering whether I should start with the first game or not.

policenauts/snatcher

>>1762870
They aren't direct sequels, so I suppose you are fine with either.

>>1764341
Did any of the Roomate games have anything lewd in them?

>>1764346

>>1764350
I don't consider that to be lewd.

I'll go with the assumption that, like most Saturn games of that genre, it teases but never pleases.

>>1764351

Yes.

>>1764351
There's an actual law that games cannot be published with "adult content" on consoles in Japan, whereas personal computers have no such restrictions.

>>1764360
Really? Did this law get passed before or after the release of the FM Towns Marty?

Because that was a console that could play FM Towns games and the FM Towns had a decent selection eroges.

>>1764360
And oddly enough that all started in the Saturn era.

>>1764362
I believe it was passed in the early 90s. Not 100% sure on that though.

>>1764362
>>1764369

Moreover, the PC-FX (god rest its soul), was considered a console, wasn't it? It came out in 1994-95, right?

And fuck me if that thing didn't survive on it's subpar eroges

Magicuuu Pohpen~ :3

>>1764376
The new game for the 3DS is pretty good.

>>1764379

I'm on the fence. Why did they ditch the sprites for those horrible PS1 looking 3D? But the gameplay looks the same. Is it a port of the original, or an entirely new game?

>>1764403
Entirely new game. The overall structure of the game is a little different, and the traditional "survival" gameplay isn't available at the beginning. Still worth picking up though and maybe it's just me or maybe it's just the 3DS's controls but it feels hard as balls to play.

Also the game has stereoscopic 3D, so I assume thats why they included 3D models.

>>1764403

new game

>>1764409

Sounds more accessible. Wonder if it's selling well.

>>1764415
Well considering it's the firs UK game localized, it's understandable that its a little more accessible.

I remember in January Agatsuma Entertainment said that the JP version was selling well. I doubt the NTSC/PAL versions are doing so well though.

Goddam, the PC-98 had some great looking games.

>>1764885

Nice jeans, loser!

Things are about to get very kawaii and very child molesting

>>1765049

>>1765043

Is that the Kacho in the background?

Why aren't classic Nintendo games like Mario or Zelda not commonly considered to have "anime artstyle"? Mario even had several anime.

I had GemX for the Amiga when I was younger (and probably still have it somewhere) and I had no fucking clue how to play that game or even what the premise was.

>>1765069

>Panic in Cobra City goes for $250 on ebay

Why?!
5 years ago it sold for peanuts. Why does it now cost hundreds of dollars?

>>1765167
>buy "popular obscure" game when they cost only a few buck.
>Notice when there is almost no copy left on ebay
>hype the game on forums
>sell it for 500 bucks

>>1765173
I didn't think Cobra Mission was either popular or very obscure. It was a historic game- the first eroge ever released in the US.

But it costs more than most old Rance games do now. I just don't get it.

>>1765181

This retro-bubble is a bitch.

>>1765182
You said it. At least my PC-98 games are safe. For now

>>1765189
>not preparing yourself to sell them for thousand dollars each.

>>1765209
Nah, most of mine are eroges and hipsters don't like eroges.

That said, I fear the inevitable day hipsters begin to ironically like hentai.

>>1765219
Make it happen.

>>1765227
Never

What's wrong with anime style? I really only see a couple of spaz's from /v/ throw shitfits over it.

It's really just another art style of presenting a video game to me. I certainly enjoyed the older style of anime, but I'm not hung up over it.

>>1765243
Man, C's Ware was shit at making eroges.
Divi Dead was their only halfway decent one.

>>1765243
You'd think a board that started around anime and Japanese stuff wouldn't have people getting ass-blasted over anything anime related. I honestly don't get it.

Let's see some more NES games.

Old Rance games are free.

What is she seeing ?

>>1765391
Yeah I know, but muh physical collection.

What's so great about anime?

>>1765472
Go watch Wicked City, Ninja Scroll, Golgo 13, and the other classics. It isn't just the art style, but the creativity that game with it. Anime offered an escape from the limits of reality or the bindings of American comics.

>>1765565

But all anime is the same.

>>1765607
Why is that?

Anime watcher levels. A higher level means that the person can also enjoy things on the lower levels, etc.

Level 6 : Leviathan, Milky holmes (2nd season), Joshiraku, puchimas, teekyu
Level 5 : K-ON, Ichigo mashimaro, Aiura, Sailor Moon
Level 4 : Jinrui, Aria, YKK
Level 3 : Evangelion, Hyouka
Level 2 : Code geass, Baccano, Madoka magica, Psycho-pass, OnePiece
Level 1 : Naruto, Bleach, SAO, Attack on titan, Cowboy Bebop

>>1765607
I hope you're baiting.
>>1765621
I'll never understand why some people can't enjoy more than one genre of anime, the way you expect people to be capable of with other mediums, like games, music, films, etc.

I'm Level 6, according to you

>>1765607
Go watch some Bastard.

>>1765615

>>1765607

If you want to bait on /vr/, you're going to have to try a lot harder than that. Even on /v/, that shit doesn't catch a reply.
Flaunting full-retard grade intelligence isn't fun or entertaining here.

>>1765640
Oh okay, you are. Thanks for not being subtle, at least.

>>1765642
>>1765643

OK, prove me wrong.

>>1765647
Cripes, you're not even fucking trying at this point. Onus is on your to prove your case.

>>1765054
They don't want to admit that the thing they love classifies as something they are supposed to be hating.
Also, games of that era seldom had ingame graphics clear enough to resemble anime or manga illustrations. I'm pretty sure lot of people never read the manuals and even if they did, there was lot of localization.

>>1765472
There's ridiculous amount of variety between subjects and genres. There isn't literally everything because laws and prohibitions, but it's pretty close.
Also, most series are short (ie. 1-4 cours of 24 minute episodes) so they easy to digest.

>>1765621
That's horse shit.

The amount of references is the only thing that limits your enjoyability (ie. not getting the jokes on parody-heavy comedies like Hayate no Gotoku or Gintama). The rest is just about your own attitude.

I've always appreciate the look of the arcade version of JJBA. The animation, the character art, all of that.

I also like the Street Fighter EX series art.

>>1765661
Anime and vidya games have always had a cozy relationship.

Even western devs try to copy the influence (pic related).

>>1765665
It wasn't a bad thread until the idiot from /v/ thought he could bait.

>>1765672
A lot of people like it. For me, it has just the right balance of realistic and comic appearance.

>>1765621
Sailor Moon? K-ON? Teekyu? Puchimas? This is embarrassingly laughable.

Cringe of the day.

>>1765672
I fucking love 1980s-1990s style anime

Marble cooking

Nobody mentions Magic Knight Rayearth? It was an anime before it was a game...and there were scenes from the anime in the game!

I don't watch anime (subtitles bother the Hell out of me and good luck finding a decent English version,) and I can't stand right-to-left manga; I consider myself an outsider. I think the '80s look is far better than the minimalist washed-out look of today.

I always loved when a game had ultra-western and serious-toned artwork...

you're gonna have to explain these levels to me, because it looks like you ranked K-ON and Strawberry Marshmallow above some of the best written shows to come out of Japan. Evangelion is one of the best written anything to come out of anywhere

>>1766331
a lot of stuff out today has a very soft, gentle look. like something made for small children. also, a lot of girls have this bland, dopey look to them. compare Sailor Moon Crystal to the original show, and you will see what I mean.

80s and 90s stuff was so much more energetic and intense. the stark shading and thick lines practically shouted at your eyes. I don't think I would get into anime, if I were just starting out today.

>>1765902
anime and games from the 80s had a lot more high art ambitions. the creators had been fired up by Sci-Fi and cyberpunk novels and movies. They seriously believed that their anime and games were moving the genre forward.

I wonder where all those guys are, now...

>>1765063
Pretty anime to me

>>1766514
>I wonder where all those guys are, now...
Literally dying off, one by one.

>>1765063
>>1765054
They're just very Japanese takes on more cartoony styles. Think Osamu Tezuka, Fujiko Fujio, and Akira Toriyama for example.

>>1766514
>the creators had been fired up by Sci-Fi and cyberpunk novels and movies.

That's something I absolutely love about 80s stuff. That combined with the OVA boom produced some amazing works that also had some amazing games to go along with it.

>>1766509
You know what I'm talking about? The Family Guy levels of sterility where everything looks too polished? That weird blurred look that seems like somebody smeared Vasaline on the screen?

Phantasy Star 4 had kicking manga cut in panel cutscenes

>>1766540
I don't understand how that's not anime.

>>1766787
This fucking game. I meant to go into MAME the other day and look it up because a guy in a recommendation thread said he liked Star Fox and wanted something kinda like it. I recommended Space Harrier and thought about this game, but couldn't remember the title.

Shigeru Miyamoto was an artist for Nintendo, and has claimed a few times that he would've been a manga artist if his video game career never took off. I'm not sure what his influences are, but he seemed to be a fan of western cartoons. Mario was originally going to be Popeye, etc.

http://www.mariowiki.com/Yume_K%C5%8Dj%C5%8D:_Doki_Doki_Panic

>It was later released outside of Japan in an altered format under the name Super Mario Bros. 2, since the original Japanese Super Mario Bros. sequel, Super Mario Bros.: The Lost Levels, was deemed too difficult for overseas players. Eventually, the altered Mario version of Doki Doki Panic was released in Japan as well, under the title Super Mario USA.

Doki Doki Panic came first, USA players are to shit to play SMBLL (real SMB2).

>>1766989
youtu.be/drUoa1G39P4?t=3m29s

The Lost Levels was a Famicom disc exclusive and sold multiple times less than Mario USA. Same with Doki Doki Panic. The Lost Levels is nothing more than an expansion pack.

>>1767005
Doesn't change the fact that DDP was a released game already.
That's just like the Wii version of Fifa13 which is just Fifa12.

If you call SMBLL an expansion pack, then SMBUSA is worse since it's just a re-sprited game (a mod).

>>1764360

Actually, Saturn had some adult games with nudes and sex scenes, those were sold with a red label and there were only a handful (most of them were mahjong games).

You can look for those games here, they are marked with

>>1767464
>1990 – 1991

ohh the sweet spot!

This game always gave me that 80s anime vibe, because of the portraits and the world design (all that smooth plate armor and tons of mechas). That's why it is easily my favorite from the series.

Lunar 2 is anime as fuck and has that really dark 80s look too, though the actual art style is early 90s, pre-CG.

I don't even like Anime, I just love the 70s-80s anime aesthetic

>>1767476
It isn't the show I like, I've just seen some stills of it, and I love the look.

>>1767495
Lunar 1 official art for reference. Same style as 2, really, I just like 2 better as a game.

That awesome cover.

Yes, and?

>>1765650
>eight programmers
>not just staffers, but programmers

I don't even think Nintendo's games had that many in the NES era, did they? At most, I can imagine four programmers being able to perform the task since games were much simpler and shorter, not to mention assembly was FAR better known then.

>>1767505
Reminds me of the Giant Robo rendition of Yokoyama's style.

>>1767248
>Famicom hentai games

I never imagined Yamauchi as a dirty old man. Since there were several hentai games for the console, he probably liked them too, that old bastard.

>>1767639
Except none of them were licensed by Nintendo. They lacked the Famicom Family mark that appeared in all of their games.

You could specify a notable designer but there is no general style throughout anime of a timeframe.

>>1764360
Pretty damn sure it was just the console manufacturers denying eroge publishing rights on their machines, meanwhile PC manufacturers hold no such control over publishing.

>>1765621

The Famicom Disk System read floppies, so making a game for it was trivial. Since you couldn't sell them next to legit carts as Nintendo would cut you off, they'd be sold in vending machines and shit like that.

Are you using dark ages as a term of endearment or an insult?

i know people who would fight you tooth and nail for griping about this era, but that's another story

60s: Golden age of anime
70s: Silver age of anime
80s: Bronze age of anime
90s: Dark age of anime
00s: Modern age of anime

Same character designer, Toshiyuki Kubooka. Dude also was the initial character designer for Idolmaster, and IIRC served as director for the Berserk movies.

I've always been a fan of his character designs.

Woah let's not get too crazy. The plot is an incoherent mess that is compounded further by the terrible localization.

>tfw discussing older, obscure anime on /a/ is next to impossible
Try /m/ most of the stuff they discuss is pre-2000

>>1773596
After /a/ had a shitfit about someone trying to discuss Ranma, /co/ adopted the series.

>>1773602
Ranma gets discussed on /a/ practically every day.
It's more likely OP of the thread didn't lurk, acted like he was on /co/, got called a retard, and went running back to /co/ crying claiming that "/a/ doesn't talk about" yet another series that /a/ actually talks about regularly.

>>1773673
No, I saw the thread. They were asking about the differences between the book and the TV series, and any merits of the changes. Don't try to deny that /a/ has been shit for years because a horde of idiotic fucks shout down anything that isn't moeblob circlejerking. I mean, fuck, I led the charge for the creation of /m/ because they kept shitposting every Gundam and RaXePhon thread to death, and that was around ten years ago!

Too bad 70's looked NOTHING like in that picture. It should be more like colored 60's with slightly more facial details.
If you had to copy somebody's style, then maybe Matsumoto Leiji.

Same studio.

>>1766509
>>1766561
I think the main difference is that modern anime all looks like it was made for TV, whereas old anime looks more like someone took the manga pages and colored them. They have those really start bold lines, because it's supposed to be an art style that looks good in black and white.

I kinda wish there was an /ar/. The Devilman OVA's are almost thirty years old and still look amazing.

>>1779093
It doesn't venture into that territory, though. Game's pretty cool, as is the prequel.

>>1779087
Not on Falcom's online store, weirdly. I'm sure XSEED will get around to it one day.

>>1779232
Most old anime you are familiar with are OVAs and movies, old TV anime were mostly family friendly shows and some mecha and weren't really impressive in terms of looks.

Also /ar/ is a really bad idea in my opinion, you can talk about any anime in /a/ and there is a "pre 2000 shows" thread every now and then, there isn't really a thing called "retro anime watching" there is nothing differentiating "old anime watching" from "new anime watching" unlike retro gaming also there is much less "retro" anime and much less to talk about, you wont talk about "How do you watch your retro anime" or "What did you purchase", you will be limited with one thread for the whole series and chances are there won't be many people who are watching this series at the moment so most people would be talking out of their memory in addition to that there won't be predictions nor anticipations and much much lesser discussion since the show already ended and most likely threads will morph into generals also any general discussion that's not specific to one show like discussion about art style or characters goes to /a/ since it's not really retro related but rather general anime discussion. That's why /a/ doesn't have lots of threads about old shows (and that's not limited to retro anime, it applies to any show that ended) it's not because they hate it or didn't watch it, it's just that there isn't anything to talk about and you'll see any show that continues to have threads after it ends are mostly generals and circlejerks, this type of discussion is not suited for imageboards it's better in normal forums or in one "pre-2000" thread.

>>1779403
Holy shit, learn to punctuate. Your post reads like Kanaya.

>>1779403
>you wont talk about "How do you watch your retro anime" or "What did you purchase"

Have you been to the CRT thread lately?

>>1779403
Genso Tensai Bakabon's commonly cited as one of TMS' best-animated old shows, and Ganba's pretty much a Dezaki show, so there are already some exceptions in that graphic.

At least I can talk about Wings of Honneamise in /m/ if I really want to.

>>1779418
Sure, there are a couple of comments talking about anime and movies but the whole CRT obsession a /vr/ thing, outside of /vr/ and /g/ there is less interest in that.

>>1779403
By that virtue /vr/ shouldn't exist. Also that image is wrong Grendizer was released outside of Japan, under the title of Goldorak/Goldrake.

>>1779453
Not at all, there is a big difference between gaming and anime discussions, also "retrogaming" is a thing but there is nothing such as "retro anime watching".
>>1779425
Both are nice shows but they both fall under the family friendly category and visually speaking they are not that impressive.

It seems more to me like they're trying to keep the standard-definition look in today's HD market and doing a terrible job at it.

>>1761725
I hate the anime artstyle.

>>1762229
Not to mention the Turbo-CD. Hell, a lot of the games were enhanced NEC PC ports.

Characters of this game are designed by Akihiko Yamashita.
He works at Studio Ghibli as a character designer too.

>>1768664
Wow, look at that! Never thought I would see that again.

I was about to say Growlanser isn't retro but then I forgot that was a totally different game.

This guy has worse Toriyama-syndrome than Toriyama himself.

His porn is good though

>>1787849
Kind of. His faces and bloomy art style are samey, but I'd never mistake Growlancer for "retro". The hair styles and clothing designs are way too 00's anime.

>>1783785
It means that they're trying to stop that overly clean-cut Adobe Flash look that animation often gets when switching from SD to HD; trying to aching an "analog" look.

>>1779232
There is, it's called /vr/. I think /vr/ should be about all forms of older media, to be like a museum of sorts.

I think this is relevant to the thread.

>>1787872
No one is trying to do that. Every studio would animate and master their series at 1080p if they could, but that's not possible with their current budget and time schedules. Animation with higher resolution means that things must be drawn with more detail and care. In the SD times you could fill the backgrounds with half-assed stuff because all of it would be blurred by televisions, but with the switch to HD everything came to plain view so you can end up with something like related picture.

Kyoani is one of the few studios that can keep up a very high standard of animation because they have their own, well-organized animators, but even they master at "only" something like 900p for regular footage (at least for Hyouka; that was when they did only about one or two projects in a whole year, but in 2013 they started putting out their self-produced shows on every season and as a result I think their standards dropped). There are some exceptions like Xebec's Nyaruko W which was mastered completely at 1080p, but in general other studios can't reach that high. Trigger even went as far as making lot of scenes in Kill La Kill at SD level quality to keep a high framerate, which made the show have a very blurry overall look.

The only series with "Adobe Flash look" are the shows that were actually made in Flash (ie. DLE series like Double J, Therma Romae and Reibai-sensei).

>>1789529
To be fair, there are other reasons that detail is dropped on background characters.

I thought they just shat out the animation in some sweatshop in the Cambodian jungle.
