Cowboy Bebop is two seasons. The first one ended with the Jupiter Jazz two parter. There's also the movie that fits squarely between episodes 22 and 23. IMO, it is not optional to skip the movie as it helps bridge the radically different tones of both of those episodes.

I'm really glad I discovered this video, ever since I began watching anime shows again a few years ago, I couldn't help but think how I preferred the nostalgic look of 90's/early 2000's shows (even though I was hardly even there at the time). I've spoken to countless friends about it and they always seem to come to the conclusion that these ideas are weird, and that technology has made animation the best its ever been. However, this has clearly shown me why these shows stand out as being some of the best ever... Much appreciated!

Great video. One thing I've found not often discussed when talking about anime from the 80s and 90s is how the medium took into account the format that most people were going to be watching at the time: barring movies released in theaters, many anime were made for 4:3 CRT TVs. Many of the imperfections are hidden by the glow of the screen and the shading often looks profoundly different, much more stark and deeper in contrast compared to watching it through modern formats. It's one of the reasons the lines are so thick in older shows like DBZ; if they weren't, they wouldn't be visible on TV. It's impossible to capture in a KZbin video for obvious reasons, but if you have the chance, pick up some old anime tapes and watch them on an old tube TV. It's seriously a whole different experience.

First off, I appreciate you making a video about this subject without being hostile towards other eras of anime. Like, yeah, I grew up on 90's anime and it'll always be my favorite, but I can still acknowledge the good in the modern. Instant like. With that out of the way, I think it really has to do with the culture of the time. Japan was suffering a huge recession, depression was starting to be acknowledged as a serious issue, and it just felt right to have intensely flawed heroes in media as a reflection of that. Evangelion might always be my favorite anime, but it won't be because of the animation, (cue another 10+ seconds of still elevator rides and robots holding cute angel guys) it will be because of the tone and feel of the show, and though it's a master class in that feeling of artistic miasma of melancholy, it wasn't the only one. I couldn't tell you what made the animation so good, I'm no expert, but I would like to point out that it's easy to see 90's anime as special because, as it was a niche import, we actually got to see far less of the turds at the time, versus now where anime is a fairly common nerdy interest that you can see every turd alongside anything special, thanks to The Internet. The modern blunders stand out more because you don't have to dig deep to find them, as you would have to do the 90's blunders. Also, as a giant robot fan, I've got this "who can beat Goku" shit locked down. An angered Ideon could destroy the fucking universe, and there's no way Goku's personality, such as it is, isn't going to frustrate it.

I definitely agree that the aesthetic of '90s anime is virtually unrivaled in the realm of animation. I understand why shows today can't look exactly like they did back then, but I wish more animated works would at least make an effort to look more like that classic cel animation the way that Dragon Ball Super: Broly did-that is easily one of my favorite works of Japanese animation from the past ten or fifteen years aesthetically.

For me it’s the psychological depth sometimes hidden sometimes projected straight forward. Although today’s Anime still has it it’s way more rare and I think because of the bright colors that are preferred 99% of the time it doesn’t hit as much as 90s anime this goes for sadness to and emotions like relief, pressure, scare, numbness and the occasional cute happiness sometimes even a bit bittersweet. Maybe it’s the writing though I don’t know but it had and still has its flear

I think something that helped a lot too was the CRT TVs that we had in those days. They added to the charm of that era's anime. Unlike modern displays CRTs felt like you were watching through a window, they gave the images a lot of depth and bit of a 3D feeling. Modern displays make everything look flatter.

As an artist that has studied with japanese mangaka, try to understand from a historic standpoint, that not all 90s anime is better, we just remember the best ones. Consider that there are many good animes yet to be discovered of this period and with really original ideas. Sometimes the "good idea bad execution" is not remember too much. this is, for example, why some people believe that beethoven was the only good musician of his time when in reality there are a bunch of great art pieces that are not as good but good enough. We are going to have a period where the 2010 animes are going to be remembered as the classics too. edit: I guess some people do not understand that preference or mood (whatever that is) doesnt equal quality, dont get me wrong I prefer many older animes over new ones but im no so blindfolded to think with nostalgia over objective analysis. your "mood" is an effect created by vhs recordings, broadcasters and limited color palettes. its the tech not the animation. We have today Waaaay better fight scenes than before.

Yes, technology has come a long way and it should be alleviate some of the burden off but unfortunately some studios are taking way too many projects even though they possess the latest tech in animation. I have no particular favourite but I'll go with Agent Aika. One of the examples of 90's OVA (direct-to-video) animes and it's an original work (not adapted from any source materials such as manga).

The video hit every point, and I believe it's due to the nostalgia factor. It's important not to forget where we came from because it helps us understand where we're headed.

However, since they did, we can feel the same emotions they intended.

90s anime had concentrated storytelling. It was like how old movies are complete stories. No long standing plot threads. As some have said, they were a vibe. Cowboy Bebop, Trigun, Berserk, Yu Yu Hakusho. Shows like Naruto, Bleach and One Piece want to constantly expand their worlds and lore whilst 90s anime aren't interested in being the next Star Wars. They were happy being vibes.

My personal opinion is that I prefer the older 80s and 90s art aesthetic to today's animation styles. I watch dozens of shows a year and have been watching anime from the time of VHS tapes picked up in rental stores as a kid in the late 90s. I think my love of the medium was brought back by watching so many LoFi hip hop vids here on youtube during the early 2010s. So many great feelings well up inside just seeing an old vid on Triangle Music or any of the other great channels focused on vaporwave and lofi. After a few years of watching these relaxing and beautiful music videos I had to of course start watching the old series I had been away from for a decade. Now I am watching alot of the older anime to see the beauty and love put into each and every frame. Craftmanship and attention to detail define the era even for silly shows like Urusei Yatsura. And the most beautiful ones are always OVAs or original video animation that was released straight to VHS with a high budget and even higher production quality. Watch something like the chase scene in Gunsmith Cats or the You're Under Arrest OVAs and you will see what I mean. This was also a time of very free reign given to storytelling so Sci Fi and horror had a golden era of fantastic series and gorgeous watercolor backgrounds.

I think what l love most about the 90s anime is the philosophical question that they dive into that we ask ourselves everyday. For example Ghost in the Shell and the existence of a soul.

Very good video. I would like to add something that I don't think I heard you mentioned. It is something about anime from the 80s and 90s that I find others share the same sentiment. Anime from this era was released into the West in the time that the internet was not so popular nor could it do the things it could do today easily. In other words, it was harder to get a hold of, look into or find others who shared your interest especially as a kid or teen. It was also something reserved for the Nerdy or Geeky crowd vs how everybody watches it today openly. As anime was introduced into the west it carried a feeling of being Foreign, Alien, Taboo, Unknown yet beautiful especially to our young impressionable minds. I talk to people my age who have the same feelings. It's undescribable sometimes. Not quite nostalgic but something else. I'm not saying anime now is lesser but it just doesn't seem to carry that feeling with us or the current generation but 90's anime will always be remembered for that feeling for me at least

I tend to consider the late 80s to early oughts to be a golden era for anime. Yes, in part because it finally clicked and I began watching these odd cartoons that were broadcast over satellite back in high school, and most of it was the 90s back catalogs in Japan. But over this time period it evolved quite significantly in terms of vision and artistic expression. We saw it mostly in the OVAs and films, but many of the older series are now considered iconic and must watch for new fans and the old guard alike. We don't see this for eras prior. There are gems from the 80s that get rediscovered (I suggest the Crusher Joe film and OVA), however with earlier icons we don't see the recommendations as often. A hardcore fan will seek out Astro Boy or Mazinger Z but that push of "you gotta see this!" isn't there even with remastered titles. But Akira, Ghost in the Shell and Cowboy Bebop are still held in high regard for raising the bar for their time. We still discuss Evangelion and Perfect Blue, we debate Bebop's ending to this day. It's very much the only place to start for newcomers.

Loved the video. There is a charm of 90s anime. In recent years I love the background art and aesthetics. I want to go back and watch evangeleon now. Only watched half of it years ago

The best 1990’s tv-series is Lain in my opinion. If we look at movies, Ghost in the Shell is my number 1. While not Japanese, Heavy Metal, which came out in 1981, was very good as well.

I think it's amazing that in 2021 with Arcane, we finally have something that harkens back to 90's anime. How did over 2 decades pass without something as quality as Outlaw Star being produced?
