This just made me realized what made older animes good back then; the dark, nitty, mature (not the sexual way) and more realistic undertone being explored through a character driven plot. The Anime meta nowadays is, hugely centered around erotic fan service, and completely generic, self insert, nihilistic and relatable main characters, OR a rehashed idea with maybe a little twist (looking at you isekai). I miss the old style sometimes.
Lmao
OLD = GOOD
NEW = BAD

anime content varied depending on the era. Because of the social, cultural, and economic context when they were created, which is reflected in the content produced. We are all drawn to an era in which we first discovered anime, and if that era had the kind of content and themes we liked best at the time, we might even prefer it.
The reason why people tend to choose a favorite era is because of the aesthetics and themes the shows at the time convey, not because old is good and new is bad. From the color schemes to the story plots, 90s anime had a gritty tone with a cynical and noirish element to their approach, which varied depending on the media they used. The overall unique atmosphere that the 1990s created at the time is reflected in 90s anime. The same can be said for the anime of the 1980s, which tended to be more comedic and action-oriented and gave rise to subgenres like cyberpunk, space opera, and real robots. Some people may find nostalgia in the color scheme and style of anime from the 1980s or 1970s.
Sometimes the current era of anime may not fill one needs but a previous era may be the source to find. At this time, there is not much dark mature serious anime though I can see how people who gravitate toward mature content with such a realistic time would be attracted to the 90s era.
Although many anime fans today despise the isekai genre trend, I bet that in ten or twenty years those same fans will start to look back on that time period with nostalgia and fond memories. The current anime era that you enjoyed the most will likely be the one you remember and cherish the most. Some newer anime fans in the future will be drawn to this generation of releases and the isekai genre. In the end, it depends on personal preferences, even though genres frequently experience ups and downs in terms of popularity. I expect that the anime of the future will differ from that of the present in terms of popular trends, preferred aesthetics, and thematic content. trends do change in popularity and we've seen that through the decades since anime first started.
@@originalketer1993 All I'm trying to say is that just like anime content seasons can vary throughout the year, each decade has its own distinctiveness and taste. When a genre or piece of content is no longer in hot demand in the era we are currently living in, other eras will occasionally provide it for us. As long as it doesn't overstay its welcome, anime has changed from its color schemes to the way it creates storylines and characters. We may not like this evolution right now, but we will in the future. Since that kind of content isn't as popular or in demand right now, I can understand how an early anime fan who experienced the grittier mature dark content would miss it. They might not like anime in its current state, but there isn't much we can do about it except wait or find something else to watch while we wait. It might be interesting to explore older content. We'll have to wait and see what emerges after the isekai trend to see how the popularity of anime and the generation that watches it can influence its trends. The media back then, from what I remember, was more cynical, which is reflected in the conditions of their era. As a result, the conditions that made the 1990s who they are may not fully return due to the change in today's climate and culture.
Very well made video. Another aspiring creator, a gem among a sea of mediocrity in CZcams
Thank you sir I truly appreciate that and hope to be a standout amongst others
I must say that @13:01 , they did a pretty good job with zoro's horrified 'Luffy!!!'. It cracked me up😂
ikr that shit is hillarious
We should all thank Toonami for this.
Actually, Fred Patten.
4kids deserves some credit to. Yeah they tended to be censor heavy but they still helped kids get exposed to anime and they had legit good dubs. If you were to ask me the two biggest influences that got anime going I’d say Dragon ball z and Pokemon. Pokemon inspired other companies to try to get their own anime series like pokemon while Dragon ball z was the first the full exposure to what anime really is blood and all.
@@Cloud-dt6xb I actually agree man, I honestly don't think 4Kids is that bad. They only really messed up One Piece ( the opening was fire though ), the others were fine at best. Yu Gi Oh, Sonic X and Kirby Right Back At Ya are some of my favorites.
How does this man only have 130 subs, great vid
That means a lot bro, theres more on the way 😁
It is absolutely insane how you channel isnt bigger. I expected some 50k subs and when I saw the actual number, I could not beleive my eyes.
I'm so glad that CZcams showed me your channel and I hope it continous to do so for others. I have a second channel that is small and sometimes feel like all the time one puts into his content should be seen by more. so, best of luck, you deserve it!
This means so much bro thank you and hope everything works out for you too 👍
This video was so well made dude, keep it up you definitely deserve more subs. I can see you going far
I hope so, and thank you so much 😁
have a nice day
You too bro!
I find it very strange that anyone could not know about those weird cartoons coming from Asia. I mean my first anime was Samurai Pizza Cats, and the whole thing reminded me of the mascots I saw on the backpacks of Chinese kids. And I knew about Nintendo and Sega and stuff being from Japan. Pokemon was obviously not an American property. When I first saw DBZ I was freaking enthralled but I knew it was probably some kind of Asian thing.
I just wonder what lack of exposure to the world made you think Naruto wasn't Japanese.
Great video man. A bit of details left out from the more modern day, but totally educational and worth the watch. I appreciate your hard work put into this video and as an OG anime fan I highly respect you. Btw, you deserve a sub so I subbed👍🏾. Keep up the good work.
Costa Rican here. In Latin America anime was always available in normal open air tv. I grew up with Mazinger Z, Princess Knight, Harlock, Robotech and others, always knowing they were "chinese" cartoons (sorry if I'm offending someone).
Speaking of “Chinese cartoons”, the Chinese now have a more viable animation industry in recent years although I think the more well-known ones are animated with only CGI such as “Ne Zha” for example. Also, the biggest problem with their animation industry right now is the big grip that the authoritarian CCP has over mainland Chinese society which sadly doesn’t give them the creative freedom to make various works of art.
Keep this up! Great video! Keep going and you will get mroe views for sure we don’t have enough CZcamsrs making quality video essays about anime and other well researched things to this media.
Nice video. I love growing up with anime since 1978. My first one was Battle of the Planets(Science Ninja Team Gatchaman), Star Blazers(Space Battleship Yamato), Speed Racer(Mach Go Go Go), Danguard Ace and Gaiking(Shogun Warriors), Voltron(Go Robot Lion), Robotech(Macross), and Capt. Harlock from 1978-86. Anime was then canceled in America in '86 do to budget costs, voice dubbing, etc and America went back to American animation. I went back to watching anime in the 90's on home video, but you can't rent them at Blockbusters or other video rentals, because of distributions. It was licensed to buy, not rent. I ended up buying a anime video and turned out I only like what I watched on TV back in the day. However, I did go to anime conventions in 1996 and watched some trailers and then I decided to buy them, if I like it. By 1999, I was able to get Direct TV and later in 2004 or 5 Dish Network and watched anime on Cartoon Network like Sailor Moon, Tenchi Muyo, Cowboy Bebop, Outlaw Star, Big O, etc and I was hooked on it again. I will continue to watch anime until the day I die.
This was an excellent video.
I expect it to reach a 100,000 views soon
That would literally be a dream come true, but im still not happy with my work here. I won't settle for this and only want to do better and different things. My next video is going to be a more lowkey funny one. Don't worry though, I still plan to make more content like this that will be bigger and better 👍
Really good video,it was thanks to toonami,adult swim,kids wb,fox kids that got me into anime in the 90s and 2000s.
really enjoyed the video, can’t believe you don’t have 100k+ subs. keep it up!
Hopefully one day, thank you so much!
Holy shit what a great video, how do you have less than 100k subs?!
Thank you bro appreciate that and hopefully one day I will 😁
This channel gonna get popular
great video dude, hope this hits the algorithm.
The video was very well put together. I wish you luck with your future videos!
Thank you so much!
really well explained !
keep up the good work
I Just subscribed , amazing video. Hope you get more subscribers in the future. Especially with this quality content.
Wow thank you bro i hope so too 🙏
Saving this to watch later when I can pay attention
I don't know why so many of these videos skip "Marine Boy". It aired in syndication around the same time as Speed Racer.
Great work man, subbed
Thank you sir 😁
I admire your restraint for not mentioning the cultural phenomenon that was Cowboy Bebop.
Wolf's Rain is better.
Not sure why, but @ 11:00 its suppost to say "Content" but it got moved somehow, guess thats what I get for joking about DBZ lol. Also I will make a much better effort with the voice over work, I know its still bad, and at some points the audio got a little messed up (still don't know why it was fine before). Thanks for watching tho and my next video will be much better I PROMISE. I really love this shit and want to do it full time one day. Hope you come along for the ride and enjoy 😁
My uncle's saw DBZ in their teens and said that it was the only anime that was cool to watch even though it was still just a cartoon to everyone. They would have friends over just to watch 1 episode. I wonder what made it so successful?
Great video. Underrated honeestly
i love anime and great video! 👍
Glad I found this video very well made
How could the home video market and its licensor companies (Central Park Media, Viz, Pioneer, etc) be left out completely?
cuz i didnt want the video to be super long, and couldn't include everything sorry, also this video was already taking a long time to make
To be honest, i fell bad for North American. Here in Latin American, national TV air series like Evangelion, Ranma 1/2, Medabot, Digimon, Pokemon, Dragon Ball AND Dragon Ball Z (in that order) Also, even series like Evangelion or Ranma, sometimes were no aired on special air time, but kids air time, from 3-6 PM; not to mention, we ALSO had Locomotion, a sadly dead channel, but who bring A LOT of anime to Latin American, like Saber Marionete, Night Walker, Red Baron, Evangelion, HECK! Locomotion even give us soft cultured content in the for of Sakura Mail.
USA was in dippers learning about anime while down here, we already master and love that content for years and yeras XD
I both love and hate how big anime has gotten. The things I hate about it is that posers would pretend to be hip and in the know on current trendy crap. The thing I like about anime is a lot of the stories and themes that resonated with me and the friendships I made because of it. Luckily, there's less cringe around me in the anime space irl than there is online. I have different small groups of friends and family that I bond over anime with and it's a beautiful thing
Cool, I subbed
Great video one thing you should have mentioned for the 90s was Sci Fi Saturday Anime it was toonami before Toonami in the mid 90s.
Once CSM drops it's gonna be a lot of people's first introduction to anime.
Great video 👍
appreciate it bro 😁
(Me, a person who worked at Shueisha)
Takes a lot of balls to not ignore anime’s roots to WW2 Japan.
This is pretty solid! I think it’s important to note that anime is expected in Japan to “Speak on cultural issues”. This is why it’s always really weird when people say it’s not “Woke unlike comics” American comics are much less “political” than Japanese Manga (which becomes anime) is because it’s the total opposite.
For example: Gundam/Yamato/starblazers being very against imperialism (which is something that Japan was still doing at the time).
There’s even more of it in the 90s/00s with my personal favorite anime of all time, Naruto. Naruto/Shippuden are so virulently anti-war because of Masashi’s upbringing and watching the results of the Hiroshima atom bomb. The eyes of people who saw it up close of course inspired the byakugan.
Especially since (I hate to ruin it) the tailed beasts are nukes and Konoha is America. This wasn’t “anti American” to be clear, just anti war.
It’s important to note that the direct answer to questions raised in Evangelion are answered in Tengen Toppa Gurren Laggan as well.
Into the teens we get another heavily social commentary filled show: Attack on Titan.
A bunch of Jews…I mean eldians get sent away and slowly get a genocide committed against themselves after being gaslit the whole way along. So one of them decides to do that to the rest of the world instead.
It’s still a genocide, which is why the manga shows that the character is wrong.
Then we get to modern manga with it like, My Hero Academia and it’s commentary against capitalism which is so heavy handed that I am convinced westerners see a guy saying American city names and ignore the rest of the story.
Sorry, I know this is long.
As a man nearing my forties who remembers Voltron capturing my imagination: it makes me really happy to see fellow Westerners eyes are caught by the same stuff that I did.
Good shit, thanks for watching!
You forgot hunter x hunter with the chimera ant arc
@@BLACKSTA361 FUCK! I was even thinking about that one while I was writing this!
Cartoon Network is America's Sweetheart for Animation
Nice vid!
appreciate it theres more to come to 😁
Thank God CZcams recommended me this
I started out watching Anime with the Pokemon TV show and Studio Ghibli movies like Totoro and Kiki's on VHS.
I sub, I like this essay video.
You've really done a great job on making this video bud. I'm going to throw it out there that If u keep making videos about things like this (not anime specifically but things that people everyday do, watch, eat, etc.) I would bet or almost 100% guarantee you would have no problem getting your own CZcams subscribers mile marker trophies.(don't know what they're actually called, sorry no disrespect just a little ignorance lol). Anyway if you make videos about these things people all enjoy but aspects rarely brought up or considered that are instantly intriguing once think or talk about it( this video being a 100% perfect example). You'll also only become better, well seasoned, & more talented at being a director & content creator that you can take a lot of places to make a great career with a lot of money even after CZcams is not really profitable for u anymore( not saying it'll be ur fault even Mr. Beast says he's only got so long, he explains it very well if u look it up). I know this has been a really long comment but at least it was positive and I've never even had my mom let alone anyone else comment or compliment me like this or this much so hope u see this & it makes u feel good bud, Best of luck brother.
Really appreciate that bro, I got a vid in the works right now and should be out soon.
Is there any stocks that people can invest with anime, that thumbnail has me thinking.
I think a hundred years ago. Disney and that Japanese guy had the same idea. Considering the empire Disney is 100 years old now.
I’m hoping that someone is able to adapt the original Zoids and bring it back and re-license it because it’s a pain in the ass to either find physically and buy
Not one mention of Nadia: Secret of the Blue Water? Come on, that was amazing.
Anime and manga and comics and cartoons is life ❤️
Here before 200 subs
❤️❤️
Now I need to play Donkey Kong
i saw this in recomended, i thought it would be from a bigger channel but when is saw your subcount i left a like and sub to help you out a bit :)
Appreciate it 😁
It's so wild to look back at the 90's and know now that my best friends and I were actually streets ahead of the pop cultural curve. I'm talking about early enough to be unaware of the proper terminology and referring to our new nerd obsession with the certifiably cringe label of "Japanimation."
In Latin America otakus were already plenty in the 90's, we quickly adapted the fact that we were watching anime and plus they also quickly started to sell manga.
@@fixedfunshow over the decades I've been made aware of this swift adoption. I find it to be yet another layer of excellence to many Latin and South American cultures, for which I commend and salute them all. Y'all were WAY more chill about censoring any number of details. I even heard that almost nothing in Bishoujo Senshi Sailor Moon got cut. We Americans are eternally tardy to the party.
@@danielbloomquist9810 Some things were, blame Televisa in Mexico but honestly it was more something "made in post-production" than anything. I saw Muten Roshi bleed many times and no censorship there. Not to mention in the 90's things like The Club of Anime already existed on TV and some of the most beloved anime here never aired in the US.
Thank you Wholesome content! I expected over 100k subs too I was surprised. But you know what this means. You just need interesting topics.hmu if you need help with that and research.

Astro Boy is CONSIDERED to be the first SINDICATED ANIME on Television.
It isn’t the first Anime shown in the US.
Magic Boy and The Tale of The White Serpent are CONSIDERED to be the first anime in the US by 2 years in 1961.
I bold considered because there isn’t 100% proof that these are just that, more like 95%. But the Research done so far shows that they are.
Any way, please do more research before making statements and giving people false facts. Just saying to make your info more solid.
Interesting
Be the American the japanese believe you are
I use to laugh out loud on how bad the 4kids dub on One Piece was, it was just hilarious! But, FUNimation has somehow became an acceptation for me, even though I kind of miss the accent that was used on Sanji from that bad dub, but that was the reason why I would rather watch it in it's original dub from Japan, after watching the first 516 episodes, then I started to watch the Fishman Island arc based around the New World arc from the manga I read, after collecting the first 63 volumes in total, until I got interested in watching the Western live-action reboot of One Piece on Netflix, which I found very impressive with it's cast, which was more entertaining than the voice cast that did the English Dub to the original animated adaptation, but somehow made me realized that maybe I was wrong about FUNimation ridding that useless Italian American accent, which I now find annoying and decided to continue watching the original anime series in English dub, just to give it another chance.
there's a lot of glossing over and some big mistakes.
Voltron did not inspire "american" power rangers. Power rangers is an amalgamation of japanese super sentai and american acting. Voltron and rangers are similar in how they are pieced together.... sorta... but really robotech/macross was the first for that.
I can tell you weren't alive during the 80's to know the history... It's more than you think.
Check out Toy galaxy for the macross and gundam histories. As well as the voltron and power ranger ones.
That'll get you at least a start.
Otherwise, I'm not really here to complain, but really just want to say thanks for bringing more attention to the older titles.
I'll be honest when i was doing research for this and they mentioned that about the power rangers i was confused. But i think it meant it inspired the megazord robot, not power rangers as a whole. I knew that power rangers was inspired by sentai shows, i should of mentioned megazord in that sentence so my bad. And yes I was born in the 90s and tbh never seen any of the shows before the 90s except astroboy, akira, and some of the ghibli movies. Sorry for the mistakes on those and appreciate the feedback, I'll fact check stuff next time
@@zaddymgm the megazord maybe. I had forgotten that. The American part was more what threw me.
@@SerifSansSerif yeah I get that
With new upcoming live action tv shows like House of the Dragon, new LotR and other shows dead on arrival. Anime has potential to become more popular.
modern day anime watchers are so spoiled, back then, you had to wait about 2 days after broadcast for a decent fansub to show up...
Kimba the White Lion is better than Astro Boy. And Zoids is better than Gundam.
where's streamline pictures, carl macek, animeigo, haim saban, the just for kids home video company, furry culture also had an iron fist on american popularization of the medium lol. but good video i digress, it's fun to see history get a spotlight in anitube because it might as well be considered a sin to look beyond wikipedia in that community.
edit: 11:07 nvm i h*te you (jk jk im just drunk while i wrote this) this is true in the West buuuut stating this as fact anywhere else (im referring to the expectations of what mecha and anime can do which in the US is .....fuckin Transformers toy commercials lmfao) is pissing on Go Nagai and good old Mr. Kill'em all Tomino's graves and they haven't even died yet lol
yeah twas a fun vid :)
American Animation is dying, it needs to be saved
Like any worthy programming associated with the realm of geeks and the pop culture over which they obsess, I was not at all shocked to witness the comments being inundated by many of my fellow neo maxi zoom dweebies who could not wait to scold you for any number of failures in their eyes. And yet, they wonder why high school sucked so hard. Aren't nerds just the worst?
Naruto all the way 💥💥
You have failed in a critical part of your history of anime. Too many young reviewers give Toonami credit for the 1990s. When they really had their impact in the 2000s. For example, Dragon BallZ was aired on network television on Sundays back when people did not know what it was from 1993-1996. Dragonball aired a year before that in 1992. Sailor Moon 1993-95, Ronin Warriors 1993-95, Robotech 1985-1987, G-Force, Star Blazers, and many other shows were on network television. The true catalyst of anime growth in the US in the 1990s is BLOCKBUSTER VIDEO and FYE, Suncoast Video stores. When you went to Blockbuster every Friday, I and a bunch of our friends would rent new anime every weekend and buy what we liked at FYE, Suncoast Video. No one knew what "Japanimation" was. You could rent as a 15-year-old kid hentai Urotsukidōji no one at the store knew what it was, but what the hell rent it out to a kid because it's a cartoon. Anime was passed around to people who knew and you would trade VHS tapes. There was even a catalog you can get if you ordered from "The Right Stuff" and yes you can still buy from them. On the internet, you had Anime Web Turnpike where you can download images that took forever to download now retitled ANIPIKE. Going to comic shops and purchasing NEWTYPE magazines to see new model kits and get any images of Neon Genisis Evangelion. Please if you want to know what die-hard anime fans did I can tell you a lot between a huge gap of time that really accelerated the fandom of anime back in 1987-2000. That gap you have in your history is so huge you have no idea how real anime fans got what they got and looked to find it where they could.
This dude thrashed Dragon Ball and made it a blurb in Anime History. He doesn’t care lol
