[The Great Eagle Eye]

I've been watching Anime since I was six years old...

In my seventeen years of Anime experience, I've seen the classics, I've seen the bad, I've seen the good...

Dragonball came out in the mid 80s, the time of Hokutou no Ken, the second and first successful airing of Mobile Suit Gundam, as well as its first sequel Zeta Gundam, Super Dimension Fortress Macross, Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind, and the end of Osamu Tezuka...

It was the end of the old era... Finally releasing Tetsuwan Atom and Tetsujin 28, and ushering in the franchises and ideas that shaped the modern era... Everyone had 80s Def Leppard Metal Hair, dressed like fools, and plots were stereotypical and easy!

Anime was pure and simple! It was a good time! Unfortunately, we've come a long way since then... Animation is bounds better, we've learned you can have serious plots with realistic events, and we've fallen into the Moe trap...

CULTURAL EVOLUTION!!!!!!
